te XT. U. Vanilcrlillt.
The llrst pretost made by the nnll-Votider-bllt
Seutli Pennsylvania subscribers was the
following letter, dated July 25 and directed
te William II. Vanderbllt. Mr. Geweu's
name Is net nttached bocause or his absonce
in Europe, but he has slnce cabled his formal
pretest, anu tins cablegram lias neon served
en each of the members of the exocutive
commlttee of the Seuth Pennsylvania by his
secretary, Mr. Tayler. The pretest is as fol fel fol
lews: The undersigned, your associates and sub.
scrlbers te the bends and stock of the Seuth
Pennsylvania railroad, request that you will
net dispese of your Interest te lliose whose
purpese can only be te prevent the
construction of the lead. IlccauHoefour
coulldence in you, and with the belter that
the cnterprlse within itself possessed that
which would occasion its becoming a suc
cess, we have invested our means, and total
ter new would te home or us Immediately,
IT net dlrectly, bring great less. We ask you
te consider the unfertunate position
in which a surrender of the onternrlso te the
Pcnusylvnnlarailrend tntercis will place the
individual Investors In mining properties
Who have docllued the advances of the Penn
sylvania railroad, and who would hereafter
become subject te Its dictation if net nbso nbse nbso
lute control. Other railway enterprises ns
well, Kome of which have been partially con
structed, and ethers in precres of ergani
zatien, having in contemplation connection
ana ainance wiiu ine Meuiu reutisvivania,
will, by the proposed change In ownership,
be brought te grief, and the community
generally, all the way fiem Harrlsburg te the
Monongahela river, mid south of the line et
the Pennsylvania railroad, will bocemo suf
fers. Thore are, baddes, miiiie of us who nre
largely Interested in the Philadelphia A
Beading railroad, and, because et that inter
est, we became subscribers te the Seuth Penn
sylvania railroad ; and It has been owing te
Heading's alllance with the Seuth Pennsyl
vania and Beach creek cnterprlse that has oc
casioned the Pennsylvania railroad te con
struct n line paralleling the Heading read
throughout Ihu entire Schuylkill Val
ley. We bcllo.e that had tee Heading
rejected Its Seuth Pennsylvania nnd
Beach creek alliances the Pennsylvania
railroad would have been willing te have
abandoned its Schuylkill Valley Hue, and,
this, being nearly completed, the Heading
will be without any souree from which Its
vast manufacturing Interests can draw thelr
supplies of soft coal und coke should the
Seuth Pennsylvania pass Inte the control of
the Heading's greatest competitor, and, as n
consequence, the tennage and rovenue will
be lest altogether, because or Its having be be bo
eomo as3oclable with the Vanderbilt interests
nndover-contUlencu In the maintenance of
Seuth Pennsylvania's independence.
We psk that you have some one roprosent reprosent ropresent
lng. our interest meet with n committee rep
resenting the ether's Interests, und that we
hae n full opportunity or laying bofero you r
seir, through the committee, in uiniA'dctalls
the coudtten of allalrs that would exlst
should tiiu Seuth l'ennsyhanla railroad
be surrendered te the Pennsylvania rail

assurance that the prcsent administration
will eeeure for the country that thorough
reorganization of the civil service which will
effect an Honest, practical and cfllcicut ad
ministration of the government.
3. The administration urGovenierPalltson,
by the llrm anil honest execution or law and
the falthfui and rigid use or the veto power
In the interest et reform and economical
goernmcnt, challenges the respect nnd com
mands the confidence of the poeplo. We
warmly npprove the action of the govorner
nnd his official advisers in their ollerts te
maintain mid entorce the constitution, te
secure a Just nnd honest apportionment, le
guard the Interests of the peeple, te secure
economy and honesty in thohtategovcrntucnt
and te relerm long exlstiugabuscs and deeply
rooted inequalities In the Taws.
1. Kvery legitimate effort of labor te better

its rights, commands the sympathy and sup

an evll w hlch should be remedied byjudicleus
legislation.
5. We favor the enforcement of the consti

section, and especially demand the regulation
by law, in accordance therewith, of the car

management el the state treasury and rigid
enforcement of tbe laws geverning it.
0. We doneunco, as in llagnuu iolatlen of

eor and attoiney-gcnora), te protect and pro pre pro
serve the rights et the poeplo under the con

the ring Republicans for state treasurer, is
an Insult te the lntelllgoncennd the integrity

8. The Domecratlo party is, as it always
has beeu, opposed te sumptuary legislation

In favoref tholargest liberty of prlvate con

the rights of ethers, anu of regulating the
liquor traffic and providing against the evils

Mr. Day Is a member of the Presbyterian

three sons two are associated with his
buslneM house. Ile has very wlde acquaint

IJe has always been a member of tbe
Dcmocr.itle party, and neve.r hesitated nor
ceased te take an actlve Interest In public
affairs, ' He has never becn a delegate te
conrcntlens, nor has be neught or held ellicc.
Hut Ids own merits have Induced bis frleuds
without bis counlvance or consent te
suggest tits name at various times for the
different edi ccs of mayor, sheriff ami collector
of the pert. A correspondent of the lltcerd,
writing te that paper en ene of these occa
sions, said:
"Cenrad B. Day Is otie of that class of mer
chants like Themas Ileim, of Amsterdam,
and Stephen Girard, of Philadelphia hopd hepd
ful, economical, Industrious and self relying,
which make him firm in his decisions, Inde
pendent in his principles and conscientious
and fearless in his actions. He has given
but little attention te politics, but as a citizen
votes regularly, "and has the Interests of
the public at heart. Ills principles have
always been consistent with sound reason,
and his actions marked by iiiflexible and
exemplary honesty. A tcne and concise
speaker, the clearness of his thoughts ami
the brevity of hLs language carry conviction
and show satisfactory solution of any subject
that engages his attention and render
elaborate, equivocal or tedious argument
superfluous. He Is popular with merchants
and business men, and Is widely and favor
ably known te bankers and capitalists for
his strict business integrity. Jlr. Day has
kept himself well acquainted with all bust.
iiess affairs concerning the city and the pub
lic. His quick clerical capacity would make
him an excellent guardian of the city's inter
est s. Ne bills of appropriation liable te the
suspicion of excess would pass unnoticed by
his quick jicrceptien. And his veto, when
necessary for tbe publie welfare, would be
given with as much decision as te any faultyer
exorbitant account against his own prlvate
funds."
What was said of hltn In this connection
applies withcqiial feice te his candidacy for
state treasurer, 'llie Philadelphia Timts in
forecasting his candidacy has said

stand that It would be a mlsvcnture te at

for in both experience, ingencity and re
sources, the battle would be unequal from
the htart -rand the obvious propriety of plant

a battle for a business office, will, as a nut

the selection of an undoubted rejircscntathe

" Jrr. Day broadly and fully fills every re
quirement of the business standard for office,

and he would present the sharpest contrast
with the Republican policy that calls Its most
audacious political leader te a Mruggle

with the policy of the Democratie national
