Ohio Politicking and Rail Talk From Marietta Correspondent
A Marietta Register correspondent, versed in railroad matters, predicts the Federal Creek Railroad will become a top state earner within five years. The piece also notes Andy Johnson’s rising popularity since his Senate election, cites John Cartwright’s appointment to the Common Pleas judgeship, and endorses W. B. Horton for Ohio governor. The column critiques local school board bonds, attacks the Woodsfield Spirit of Democracy for silence on a past issue, and cites sharp rebukes of the Republican party by the Journal Standard. It concludes with a remark on New York’s role as the “Mother of Senators” and Ohio’s prominence in producing notable public figures.
