THE STREET RAILWAY.
Alonzo Smith at Work Securing Signer
to an Agreement.

Aionzo Smith at Work Securing Signers
to an Agreement.
Ex-Commissioner Alonzo Smith is at
work securing the signatures Of land own
ers to the agreement to grade and con-
struct the roadway on one side of the
proposed track, the railroad company to
bear the expense of grading on the other.
The Independent says: Mr.. Smith
showed a reporter the agreement which
had just been prepared, and which stated
that the committee appointed to secure
the signatures had made their calcula.
tions and discovered that IL would be
necessary to assess each abutting proper
ty owner ten cents per foot front. The
ngeement calls for road bed fifteen fee,
wide, ten feet of which is to be covered
with good gravel eight inches in thick
ness.
There are sixty.one property owners
possessing frontage OF various lengths,
and most or them are willing to sign the
agreement, though there are a few who
are either opposed or Indifferent to the
movement.
Mr.. Smith, though not entirely conf
dent of success, still has very strong hopes
that the refractory ones may yet he
converted to the popular idea. Until all
are seen, however, nothing definite can
be done.

THE Cleveland Plain Dealer of today
prints the following political para
graph:
Senator Lampson arrived at the
Forest City house last evening. He
says that he thinks there will be little,
if any, opposition In Ohio to the elec-
tion of Harrison delegates to the ma
tional convention and he believes that
majority of the Democrats of the
state favor the nomination of Senator
Hill. Ex-Representative John Monnot
of Canton does not agree with Senator
Lampson. He says Ohio will send a
solid Cleveland delegation to Chicago"

THE talk of another Democratic State
Conyention in New York to send an
other set of delegates to the Chicago
National Convention is criminal fool
ishness. Such movement would de-
feat Grover Cleveland, and most likely
defeat the Democratic electoral ticket
in New York in November. If there
is a quarrel in New York of sufficient
magnitude to. split the Democratic
party, then there is but one thing to do

Gov. CAMPBELL's sreech at the din
ner OF the Ohio Society on Saturday
night gave New Workers taste of the
quality of manliness, wit, humor and
eloquence which made the Governors
campaign in Ohio last year the most
memorable speaking canvass known
in this country in many years. Gov
Campbell is not only square man,
al his hearers of all parties on Saturday
voted him, but he is one of the best

Ex-GovERNoR AMEs of Massachu-
sets says that McKinleyism did more
to defeat the Republican party in 1890
than any other act of congress during a
quarter of a century. The ex-GoVer-
nor is an intense Republican, and one
of the ablest public men in Massachu-
setts. For saying the same thing, as a
Democrat, in the most forcible Ian
guage at hand some quite small fry g.

cused us of personal abuse of McKin-
ley. Here let us remark that ex-Gov-

Special to the Plain Dealer
COLUMBUS, Feb. 22,-There we're some
developments here today in connection
with last weeks session Of the Republican
members Of the new board Of penitentiary
managers that are significant. 1t shows
the ramifications of the McKinley.Sher.
man machine and accounts for the loss of
the vote of Representative Kessinger of
Athens county to Foraker in the senatorial
caucus. This gentleman was known and
recognized as a strong friend of the ex-
governor and he was, almost up to the
day Of the caucus, counted az certain to
vote against Sherman. His change from
the ex governor to the icicle senator is
now made clear and II is a pretty well set
tied fact that the deal was made with Gov.
Mckinley at the latter's home in Canton
by Gen. G. II. Grosvenor. 1t is stated on
reliable authority that e. ]. Kessinger of
Athens, brother of the representative, is
TO be made secretary of the board of peni.

who obtained a second term were

What does Gov. Mckinley mean ?
There can be but one conclusion--that
"tariffed" stands for "taxed," in contra.
distinction to the "free" in the first part
of the sentence. What is the matter
with "tariffed" wool, if the tariff (ac-
cording to the Mckinley doctrlne)
makes the coat cheaper ?-.Toledo Bee.

A very conspicuous social position is
that occupied by Mrs. Edwin Burleigh,
wife of the Governor of Maine. To her
was accorded the honor of the second
vice presidency of the Board of Lady
Managers of the Worlds Fair, a COM
pliment to which by her brilliant ac-
compllshments and superior mental
gifts, the fair lady of the Pine Tree
State is Justly entitled. The suggestion
of Mrs. Burleigh for the honor was due
to Mrs. L. b. Hooker of Ind, who pre-
seuted her name on behalf of the New
England members of the Board.
Mrs. Burleigh is woman of force
and executive ability. She goes right
to the front like a thoroughbred, and
knows how to stay there. While Bur-
leigh is the nominal Governor, Mrs,
Burleigh is boss of the executive man
sion, and is therefore the real Governor.
