NICARAGUA CANAL.

"A number Of gentlemen connected with
tAe engineering departments OF the great
Nicaragua canal, who recently arrived in
Wash iugton, d. T., bring reports of com.
mendable progress being made on that
great enterprise. Several million dollars
have already beeu spent and the active
work of construction is now we'll under
way, and so we'll started and under such
favourable financial auspices that the
success of the scheme is assured. The
Nicaragua company has recently purchas-
ed, a, enormous expense, the plant of the
American Dredging Company, which had
been doing work on the abandoned Pana-
ma canal. The drsdges are now being
delivered at Greytown, the eastern termi.
nus of the canal, and the Nicaragua com.
pany will operate them itself, instead of
letting contracts for such work as these
dredgeS are adapted to.
Already the pier, or breakwater, extend.
lug out into the gulf at Greytown, 10 noar.
~ completed, aud actual dredging for the
canal ON the gulf side has begun. The
telegraph line from Greytown to Lake
Nicaragua, connecting, with the lines on
tke Pacific coast 10 completed, and the
railway from Greytown, laid along the line
Of the canal, is well under way. At pre-.
sent about 1900 men and . corps of,
. eighty officers, OF engineers. are on the
. around aud at work. The first work pre-.
IminaTy' to the work on the canal proper,
was the building, q" the great pier. at Grey
town, extending 1880 feet out towards
deep water. This pier is necessary to pro-
rocC the entrance to the canal, and work
upon1 It was begun early last January.
Seven hundred feet of it have been cOm.
pIeted. This pier has proved Q lucky en-.

What the Press SAYS.

The stand made by Governor
Campbell in his magnificent fight
against protectionists, treacherous
friends and open enemies in his
own p: rty backed by nondescript
ring owning paper in Cincinnati,
shows the stuff he is made of. He
stuck to the real issue in the strug-
gle too. We mean the wages ques
ton. If the Democrats will take
the hint from him and educate the
voters as to what makes the differ
ence of wages in this country over
other countries they can catch the
vote of the factory and mill hands
and from laborers and thus turn the
scale, Democracy is bound to win.
They are on the logical side and an
appeal to the sober judgment and
good sense of the people will bring
victory.-iSentinel.
The Republican joy over Ohio is
to the party something unspeakable
and full of glory. And yeti it is the
most Assured thing of the season.
Here was Mckinley, the most popu
lar man of his party, who stood foI.
protection in a protection state, back
eddy money, by prestige, by the infu-
ence of the administration and by
liberal contributions of the tariff
barons; there was Campbell, poor
and in debt, his very poverty cast
into his teeth as a disgrace, with
not half money enough to run his
canvass, opposed by the baser ele
ments of his party, aided by no out
side influences whatever yet he
made o canvass that has challeng-
ed the admiration of the country
and we'll nigh won a fight which
from the start his best friends de-
clared hopeless WetSel Democrat.
The result of the elections in Iowa
and Massachusetts is distinctly and
peculiarly a victory for Tariff Re
form. The issue upon which the
battle was fought was distinctly the
Tariff. No other issue entered into
those contests.
McKinley's tariff was on trial in n
court composed of McKinley's own
party friends.
In taking up the tariff issue in
those States the Democrats gave
their opponents the odds. In ma
tional elections Iowa and Massachu-
sets have heretofore been Republi-
can strongholds and have been
counted by all parties as safely in
the Republican column. The Dem
ocratic victories, therefore, are all
the more pronounced because won
on distinctly national issue, and
they indicate change of public
sentiment that may be called a
revolution.
1t is magnificent victory and
one that has substance behind it.
Massachusetts, and Iowa may be
placed squarely in the doubtful col
umn for 1S92.-W Wheeling Register.

For Governor.

- - t1--@+
Col. w. A. McCorkle, of Charles
ton, is announced as a candidate,
for Governor All indications at
present put him far in the lead.
Colonel McCorkle is Il distinguished
lawyer and a gentleman of unblem-
ished reputation. Years ago he
came from his old home in Virginia
to this State and settled in Charles
ton. His family had been bankrupt
ed by the ravages of war, and Will
liam was thus early thrown upon
his own resources. With clear
head, a vigorous body and plenty OF
determination, he set up for himself.
Of course he had the usual expert
ence young men have under such
circumstances, but he did not get
discouraged. He worked away like
a Trojan until he stood at the head
of his profession and became one OF
the leading Citizens of the city Of
his adoption.
Colonel McCorkle is cultured
genial gentleman and has host oI
friends scattered all over the State
He will go into the next State Con
vention with great strength.
Should the Democrats make him
their standard bearer, brilliani
canvass will be the result aud an
old time Democratic majority will
follow.

WetSel Democrat: At each annual
election, State and national, when
the campaign in Ohio opens, the
State is conceded to the Republicans
by at least from $4,000 TO 40, 900
majority. But the Democrats 90 to

the dry limbs begin to crack and
the Republicans como running out

the numerical strength of the Re-
publican party in Ohio is waning

waxing.
The Ohio Democrats are never

Democrats will RecolIect it.

The Kanawha Gazette sounds the
key note in the following editorial
"The course of the Cincinnati En-
quirer in the campaign just closed
in Ohio is de+picable in the extreme.
While protesting to be Democrat
its proprietor was in league with
the Republican leaders to defeat the
Democratic ticket. While the meet
ings of Mckinley were reported
with the highest coloring in the
columns of that journal, the immense
demonstrations for Governor Camp
bell were inadequately noticed. In
nearly every editorial, letter, dis
patch or article of any kind relating
to or bearing upon the political con-
test, there was covert thrust at
the Democratic platform or candi-
dates. John Mclean, personally,
and his disreputable sheet merit the
severest condemnation, and every
self-respecting Democrat should
henceforth withhold his patronage
from that journal. A straight-for-
ward Republican paper which sup
ports it's party in a sincere manner,
is entitled to respectful considera-
ton, but traitorous sheet, guided
by no principles of justice or senti-
ments of honor. should be avoided
as dead carcass whose very touch
is contamination"

New York, Massachusetts,
and Iowa Join the Dem
ocratic Column.
Thievery Endorsed in Pennsylvania
The Elections Settle the Presi-
dency in Favor of the
Democrats in 1892.
The Democrats Did Not Want the Earth.
and Gave the Republicans Ohio.

The very latest news up to the
time we go to press, gives Ohio to
the Republicans. Mckinley is elect
ed by about 10000 majority, and
the Legislature is Republican in
both branches.
New York elects Flowers, Demo
crat, Governor, by $4,000 majority,
and the Democrats have the Legis-
lature on joint ballot. New York
can be relied upon as Democratic in
1892.
Massachusetts, elects Democratic
Governor and other State officers,
but the Legislature is Republican.
Iowa elects Boies, Democrat, Gov
ernor, by 5000 plurality, and the
rest of the Democratic State ticket
by pluralities ranging from 5000 to
5000. The Legislature is probably
Democratic on joint ballot.
Pennsylvania endorses corruption,
robbery and villainy, and goes Re-
publican by some 10000.
Nebraska was kept in the Repub-
lican column by a very small ma
jority.
In Kansas the Peoples party
seems to have petered out, and the
Republicans have he State by some
10000.
New Jersey gives larger Demo-
cratic majority than she has for
years, and the Legislature has a
two-thirds Democratic majority.
Maryland elects her Democratic
Governor and other State officers
by over 10000.
But one Republican was elected
in the whole State of Mississippi.
In Virginia they voted for men,
bers of the State Senate and men,
bers of the House. The Democrats
elected nearly every member of the
House and all of the State Senators;
not a Republican was elected to
either body, but eight or ten ALI
ance candidates were elected to the
House.
Colorado and South Dakota elect
Republicans to Congress. Both of
these gave about 5000 Republican
majority.
The result of the elections are
very satisfactory to the Democrats,
as they have held all their own
States and captured three Republic
can States.
This election settles the Presi-
dency in favor of the Democrats in
1892.

large crop of popcorn last year.
Not finding ready sale for it he
stored it away in a corncrib which
he built adjoining the stable in
which he kept mule. One night
last week the corncrib caught fire,
the corn began popping and covered
all the valley with white robe re-

saw what it thought was deep

for extensive theft of the nails.
Gothrop commanded general con-

certificates of deposit for tho proper
amounts. An accidental discovery
showed that Gothrop had been sys-
tematically robbing tho mails and
sending back forged certificates Of
deposit to the senders. The amount
of his theft is very large.

had a warrant for his arrest, whore

settle the old difficulty, and so used
