the Glass City.
The unsought and unlocked for
honor thrust upon Hon. Lorenzo Dam
ford by the Republican state conven-
ton in unanimously selecting him as
one of the presidential electors at large
for this state, is very pleasing to his
friends in this city, and they are legion.
Had Captain Danford suspected there
was a thought Of such a movement he
would have ended it, rs he has unalter-
ably vetoed other movements for higher
honors in the recent past. But he
stands high in the councils OF his party.
He is not u iactionaT man, but is a Re-.
publican in whom there is no guile or
.scllishness. He stands by his party for
patriotic reasons, and rs Gen. Gibson
said in placing him in nomination, his
kepublicanism has been tried by tho
~iicrcest fire that was ever applied to test,
the courage OF his convictions, and he
always held the old flag above
everything else. Some years ago, just
n short time before the memorable
national Republican convention that
nominated Gen. Garfield for President.
Capt. Danford was in a railroad wreck
on the 3. q. & c. railroad. The cars
were thrown from one Of the high.
t~rcstles and when the captain was found
all the front part Of his head had been
scalpcd and turned back over the bal
ance, presenting the appearance OF being
wholly scalped. Friends and neighbors
gathered about him and were sure he
would die, but to all OF them he said:
ooh, o!Tll live TO vote for Gen. Grant
for President again" He had served in
the war under Gen. Grant and he had
served in Congress while he was Presi-
dent Grant, and these years of associa-'
ton had learned him to admire the
man. He didn't get his favorite, but
his voice was heard on the stump that
fall for tho Republican ticket with no
less enthusiasm, as many Wheeling peo-
plo well know, for he spoke in that town,
twice.

Tho toll collected on tho Wcgce pike
amounts to about SIS per day. This
ought to keep that road in repair and
pay all expenses without any trouble.
Much OF the TOLLS paid by people who
live beyond the limits OF the township
and thus escape any other contribution
toward paying forthe pike.
