Yesterday It was given for the first time

The refusal Of the people of Cincinnati
to sell the Cincinnati Southern to the rep
resentatives Of the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton continues to be talked about
a great deal in that city, and the express
sion of opinions concerning the result OF
the election is rather interesting. Those
who opposed the sale say the price offered
was not enough, the dates Of payment too
remote and the security insufficient.
Those who are displeased with the result
say the city has lost more than the bid
ders and they say the Southern may now
seek an entrance to Cincinnati by another
route, or that IL may give Cincinnati the
go-by and make Louisville the Ohio river
terminus. Moreover, that it may cut or
the Cincinnati Southern at Chattanooga
and throw ell its business, which now
works over the Cincinnati. New Orleans
and Pacific, to competing lines, thus max
ing the Cincinnati Southern practically q
local line without any southern outlet.
