Please confine your remarks te that subjecL" Alter the adjournment of the meeting a statement for publication was prepared by ene of the stenographers, by the direction of Mr. Pugh, lu which It was said that Mr. Pugh, alter calling the meeting te order, stated the puriose ler which it was held, saying that "objections have been made te the rellef system slnce It wai lermulated, and In conseqnence or these objections the meeting had been called ler a full and frank eonteroncoiipon the merlts of the projiesed system, Inviting the liillest and maU candid statements, by all the delegates prosent, or the objections made te any fcaturoet the proposed organization." Mr. Scott also made a few remarks or a similar nature. The statement preparodfer publication centinues: "As the divisions were called thodelegatesalmost uni formly availed themselves et thoepportuuity net only te hand In the written proceedings of the various meetings that had been held, but also bv verbal statements te express the sentiments of theso they ropresent, aud also their own. While the most kindly tooling was oxpressed toward tlie company and lLs olllcersthroiighouL tlie criticisms of the relief system proposed and all Its features were of llm most candid and outspoken character. and the drill of comment en the system was against its adoption.

The pre pared statement cencludes by haying that the conference adjourned with three clioers ter Mr. Pugh and three choers for "Ne Keller." Many of tlie delegates were very re ticent in regsrd te the transactions in tlie conrerenco, but ethers Lilked freely. "It was noticeable," said one, "that or the few who faveied the plan the larger portion were from the western division, and most of them were men who had been in the empley of the company a long tlme. 1 roferred te their favoring the plan. 1 mean they favored It If modified.

Among them was Alie Weed, an engineer en the Camdeu A Atlantic read, who said : "New Jeraey Is opposed te the whele thing. We are a small delegation, but wo've get lets of sand.'

It is )erhaps an Inevitable penalty of holding public olllce that any association, however honorable, with transactions or per sons thereafter subjected te public obloquy should be made an occasion for misrepresen tation, and I thoreforo destre te enable every body who wishes te de se te form a cerrect Judgment as te my connection with these matters. Mr. James A. Hoesovelt, Mr. Ooergo Henry Warren, Mr. Ooergo O. Haven, Mr. Krayten Ives, myself and ether citizens or New A'eik were directors or a company which had promptly availed llsolfertho gon gen eral street railroad law or 1SSI and was the first company te lay claim te a railroad from the llattery te Fourteenth strceL In behaff of our company we labored earn estly te provent Mr. Sharp and his associates from obtaining the consent of the beard of aldermen. Wousedall the proper means at our com mand te make this opposition etlectual and we strenuously insisted that the privilege should bn sold at public auction te the high est bidder. When these etlerts failed we a)v pealed te the mayor, who vetoed the ordin ance. It was passed ever his veto. We then attacked the validity of the resolution and as we had no right of action ourselves furnished legal aid te property owners for the pur pose, Subsoquently, In dcteronce te public senti ment, aroused In great mcasure by our efforts, Mr. Sharp and his associates aband oned the resolution and procured tlie passage of a new ene, with conditions favorable tothe city and conditioned upon annual payments based upon a valuation of n million dollarser mero rer the franchise. Seme time afterwards parlies from Phila delphia Informed us that they were arrang ing for leases or Iho lines In "Ilreadway nud Seventh avetiue and Intended te lease ether lines and thus, by Introducing economy of management and a system et transfers, so se curo at the same tlme hotter returns from the properties and greater accommodations for the public They propesod te us te abandon our attitude or hostility and take part In the new enterprise, which preposition was ac cepted by a large majority of our stock holders, Including myself, and by a ma jority lu interest of the stock, excluding mine. It was lu the line et what we had lieen ad. vecating as In the public Interest. We had protested against a grant of Ilreadway with out conditions providing for a general trans fer system as applicable te 1L It was subsequently discovered that the loae could net be obtained, aud the Phila delphia parties purchased a controlling interest in the stock by tlie contract recently made public of February 2, ISsO. If that contract remains in force and tlie stock Is taken under it it will enable the purchasers, If they hee lit te de se, te carry out with us the agreement they made when they expected te obtain a lease of these reads. It wl'l Involve new agreements, howevcr, en both sides. 1 have, however, no lutercst In the purchaM) recently made and no In vestment in nor committal ofthelrgcnoral enterprise. Prier te the disclosures made en this In vestigation I looked upon it as lu the public intorest, and if It had ttken a shape satisfac tory te me, rrem a buslness sLindpeintand at a tlme when I felt at liberty te join It In vlew el ether Investments and duties, 1 should have done se. That states my exact relation te 1L W hat efleet this investigation may have upon it and whether I shall ever Jein it areas open questions rer me as for anyone ele. If my connection w ith the transactions I have mentioned is in any respect open te Just criticism I am net aware of it. j.i.v.vxr.s r;n.s e.v..r:t.
