ntien Halt., Chicago, June 10
11.30 a. M A strong breeze, that made tbe
big stripes of bunting In whleh the ex
terior or the auditorium was enveloped
fl ,p like tbe sail of a West India merchant
man in an October gale, swept ever
lake Michigan landward tbla morn
ing. Very grateful It proved te the thou
sand a el perspiring pitrlets that from
an early hour gathered lu front of tbe great
building and gazed longingly upon tbe
doers through whose portals they bad no
open sesame. Inside tbe building all was
bustle and confusion. The war concert of
last night had Interrupted tbe labors of tbe
workmen and a geed deal In tbe way of
decorating remained te be done at day
break. But the small army of mechanics
worked with a will and everything but tbe
arrangement and numbering of tbe preas
seats wa9 completed by 10 o'clock. Unfor
tunately the latter, tue really most Import Impert
ant work, bad been left until tbe hut
moment, and greatly te their dismay the
legion el correspondents wero forced te
wait outside of the bar r lei s and permitted
te Oil the air with maledlotlens upon the
management until few mlnutss of the
time for railing the convention toerdor.
The delegates themselves were slew In
assembling and the samn might be said of
the visitors. Between the police and tbe
plethora cf assistant sergeants at arms and
ether subordinate functionaries as much
red tape was brought into use as if the for fer for
tunate holders et tickets were about te
enter Inte the kingdom of heaven. Once
within tbe building, bowevor, indignation
was quickly changed Inte exclamations of
delight. It wan like a transformation from
a barren plalu Inte lalry land, with myri
ads of eloctrle Jets In arches, In stars and
diamonds, In sphere, lu almost every con
ceivable deilgn el art, with Its banner
butting streamers et a thousand hues, the
Immense interior was a syuipheny of color,
a magnltlcent spoctacle of the art decora decera
tlva. The chairman's platform was simply
a floral bower. Nothing could be seen of
the front of the desk upon whleh 8 years
age descended the gavel that announced
tbe nomination of James A. Gaifleld and
tour years later the eucesea of James Q.
Blaine. It waa one huge bank of roses,
Jacqueminet, Marecbal Neile, LyaclLthcs,
peonies, violets and llllles and It sheds its
delicate perfumes far anil wide. Tboentlre
floral work was a trlbute te the convention
from Manager Fred Llmeler, of tbe Floral
Olen company, and It has never been sur
passed, Te the right and left the American
fligwas patterned In floral shields while
en the top of either end hung two huge and
artistically arranged bouquets attached te
arches of smllax which iu turn connected
with the American fligs which entwined
the end pillar, and combined te make tbe
stand an arcadian bower.
Directly bencath the arch were pictures
et Generals Legan and Grant wreathed In
Immertelles whlle from the Urst balcony
portraits et all the Republican presidents
from Washington te Arthur looked down
upon the delegates.
rilE DELKClATia TARDY.
The New Yerk, Michigan and Massachu
setts delegations, which bad been honored
with the front seats directly facing
tbe speaker's stand, were among the
first te arrive, but very little enthusiasm
greeted their nppearance. Twelve o'clock,
at which Leur, be said Chairman Jenes
yesterday, the conventieu would be
promptly called te order, less than half the
delegates were In their seatf, while tbe
chairs In tbe balconies allotted te guests
were less than one third illled. In the next
five minutes the Western and Northwest
ern delegates came In rapidly, but tbe
Southern men, ospeelally theso from Ten Ten
nessee, tbe Carolina? and Mississippi still
lagged and left a big hole in the seating
Bpace te the left of the chair. The Vir
ginians, tee, were considerably late, and
many opera Rlases wero vainly lovelcd
In quest el the diminutive Mahene and
the doughty Wise, who head the rival
delegations. Oheuncey Depew, with a
genial smile everspreadlughls countenance,
glided in unobserved ami se did Gov.
Feraker. In f act the crowd either failed
te recegnlzs distinguished men who made
their appearance or the weather was tee
warm ter enlhuslaam te assert ltself
se early In the day. At 25 min
uses past 12 o'clock that grizzled
veteran and liret candidate et the Hepubll.
ean party for president, Gen. Jehn C. Fro Fre Fro
ment, was escorted te the platfeim by a
aergeunt-at-arms, and as he caught the eye
of tbe fleer and gallerles he wai honored
with the first great burst of applause that
bad been given se far during the morning.
Bythotime that Wise, and Mabene came
In tbe convention was a sea of waving tans
and tbey lest tbe recoptlen wbteh might
bave fallen te thorn had they observed Ihe
rules of punctuality.
THIS CONVENTION CALLUII TO OKI) HI,
Half pest twelve and the hand, galvan
ized into llfe by the frantic etlerta which
some of the a&sis'ant secretaries had for
some time been making te attract Its atten
tion, struck up a tune, but a sign from
Chairman Jenes at 12.3.1 brought it te a full
ateD and tbe convention was called te order.
Then Rev. Frank W. Ounsalaus was Intro
duced te lead the convention in prayer.
Blessings wero asked for the leaders of the
party and ler these ec:upylng high places
jn the administration. " We Invoke the
blessing," said tbe reverend gentleman,
it te-day upon that great soldier, the cap
tain of our armie, who lles se near te
deitli. Oh, Lord I touch him tenderly by
Thy band, Comfert him by Tby spirit and
rastore him te the nation that loves him,
with all hope." This reference te General
Sheridan was followed by a burst of ap-
platrse which Jirred upon tbe preacher's
sense of propriety as evldenced by the grave
expression which stele ever bis feature as
tbe cheering progressed. Then the eall for
ibe convention was resd In artuglngtene
Jey Secretary Fcesenden, and the reference
te tbe Urltl, te the protection of American
labor, te tbe accuiuulatlen of lbs surplus,
(he demand for a free, honest ballet and
fair count and tbe question of tbeadmlislen
of the territories were all loudly cheered,
specially that relating te tbe tariff. Th
reading concluded, Chairman Jenes read
en address. Ue spoke te low that from the
tart there were cries of "leader,' even
from these In front benches. When be
poke of success for tbe Republican party
end thank te President Cleveland and hie
Southern allies tbey bad thrown off
their dligulse and declared themselves ad
vocates of free trade. Tbe mere he reed the
weaker grew hi voleo, until the cenven
tien get into a hum et conversation and tbe
effort of the chairman waa little better than
dumb show addressed te the Incense
breathing bouquets. Be was understood te
allude te tbe record of Great Britain en pro
tection and free trade, and te trace Ihe
growth of the tariff reform movement or et
the " tariff conspirators " from the days
of Jacksen, en through the time et
Buchanan, a oeplona quotation being
made from a r-peeeh onee made by the
latter. Then he referred te the achieve
ments et the Republican party ; hew It had
abolished slavery and elevated the people.
He declared that tbe country did net want
te go back te tbe old Democratic days of
sloth and Ignorance. The country still had
the benefit of the lawn passed by the Repub
lican party and Its solid majority In the
Senate te protect the Interests of the peeple.
At this juncture Hen. Jehn M. Thursten,
of Nebraska, who was yesterday chosen by
the national committee as temporary chair
man, had moved up te the right of Mr.
Jenes and the latter lest no time In intro
ducing his successor. But no sooner had
tbe spectacled Nebraskan boned In re
sponse te tbe cheer of welcome than a white
headed, bread shouldered delegate was en
hlsfeetln tbe Kansas section. In loud
tones he announced tbLt Kansas bad a can
didate of Its own for temporary chairman.
Mr, Jenes responded rather testily that the
gentleman befere them was the temporary
chairman. But the Kansas man was
net te be suppressed se easily and
said that his colleagues declined te be re
sponsible for tbe action of tbe national
committee (hisses) which it regarded as a
great mistake and it demanded a call et the
roll In order that it might place In
nomination Hen. William Warner of
Missouri. " At this there were both
applause and hisses, but Thursten with
out noticing the motion began te deliver
bis address, thus establishing the precedent
that the choice of a national committee for
temporary cillcers need net have been rati
fied by tbe convention. The Kansas man
kept upon bis feet, however, until he said
that this waa net one of his fertunate days,
and then be slowly and reluctantly re
sumed bis Beat Temporary Chairman
Thursten spoke as fellows :
JUDOK TflUBSTON'S SfKELII.
IbeTemperary Chairman Says the Democrat
Mobbed HI. Far'y of a Victory
Ileneatly and Fairly Wen,
Gentlkmen op thk Convention. 1
am deeply sensible of tbe distinguished
honor you have conferred upon me as the
presiding officer of your temporary organ 1 1
zitieD. 1 am also mindful et the grave re
sponsibilities of tbe position, and if they are
auccesstully met it will be due te the con
tinuance et your generous favor and the
bestowal of your loyal assistance." I have
no words In which te litttngly express my
heartfelt appreciation et your confidence.
I thank you, gentlemen, net for myself
alone, but for that great and growing West
whleh never disappoints the expectations
of tbe Republican party.
I ceme from a state whose vast domain
has been largely appropriated by the sur
viving veterans et the army of tbe republle
under tbe beneficent previsions of the
homestead and preemption laws enacted by
a Republican Congress and true te the
heroic recollection et the past the home heme home
steaderB of tbe West still march en under
the banner et Republicanism. In victory
and defeat, In sunahlne and storm, In pros
perity and adversity this mighty West re
tains tbe courage of Its convictions, and
holds that devotion te principle though It
brings defeat, is better than success achieved
by broken vows and political dishonor. We
are met in national convention for delib
eration aud conference. Tte Republle n
party of the United Stales relies upon tbe
wisdom of its assembled delegates for such
action as will insure success. If we are
prepared te honestly and fairly meet tbe
supreme Issues of tbe hour with a clear,
fearless and ringing declaration of princi
ples and te nominate a ticket whlca will
commend itself te the leja'ty aud in
telligence of the country we can
grandly win. We enter upon tbe
proceedings of this convention pre
pared te sacrifice Individual judgment
te the wisdom et the majority, and
te lay down personal preferences en tbe
altar of party success. When our candi
dates are chosen we will all join with heart
and soul in the grand chorus et rejoicing,
and tbe rainbow of our harmony
shall glve certain premise el the glo
ries of a victorious morning In
November, When tbe Democratic party
at tbe close of tbe last presidential election
robbed us of a viotery honestly and fairly
wen, we patiently waited for the eertaln
coming et the Justlce of the years. We
hoped ana uenevea mai ikxs weuia rigni
the great national wrong of IbSI. Right It
net only for the Republican party, but also
for the grand and glorious candidates whose
namea wero the Inspiration of that wonder
ful campaign. The infinite wisdom et an
all-wise Providence bad otherwise decreed.
TRIBUTE TO 11I.AINE AND L0QAN.
One of theni.tbocltlzenseldlor.tbo warrior
statenman, tbe black eagle of Illinois, bas
been summoned by tbe Silent Mtssoegi r
te report te bis old commander beyond the
river. But although Jehn A. Legan Is
dead in the body, yet he lives again In
the Illuminated pages of his coun
try's most splendid history; lives In
the grateful love of a free pwjle
whose union be be gallantly fought te
preserve ; llves In the blewings of a down
trodden race, whose freedom he se man
fully struggled te achieve ; lives In the
future Beng and story of a here worship
ping world ; and along the highway of the
nation's glory side by slde with old Jehn
Brown, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S.
Grant, his soul gees marching en. The
ether, that gallant leader, tbe chevalier of
American pentics, me giery or rtepuuu
canlam and tbe nightmare et Democrats,
our Henry et Navarre, Is necking In
foreign travel the long needed re
laxation and rest from tbe bur
dens et public life and service. With
the sublime magnanimity of this Incem
parable greatness he dsb dented us the in
finite pleasure of supporting him In this
convention. Desiring, above all things,
party harmony and succsbh, he has stepped
from tbe certain ladderef his own laudable
ambition that some ether man may climb
te pewer. As his true friends, we cannot,
dare net commit the political crime of dis
obedience te bis expressed will. We can
net place him at tbe head of the ticket, bat
we may make blm oemmander-ln chief at
the head of tbe forces In the field, where he
will be Invincible.
And though James O. Blaine may net be
our president, jet hs remains our un un un
orewned king, wielding tbe baton el
acknowledged leadership, supreme in the
allegiance of his devoted followers, hencrad
and respected by all honest and loyal men,
tbe greatestllvlng American and tbe worthy
object of our undying love. But tbe Ra
publican party la net left without great
men te place upon Its ticket. We have that
honest, able and experienced financier,
statesman and senater from Ohie, and bis
no less distinguished colleagues from Iowa,
Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin present
te us gallant soldiers, while New Yerk,
New Jersey, Kansas, Connecticut, and
ether states cllar worthy and favorite sons.
I'rem this splendid galaxy et political stars
we cannot obeose amiss. The Republican
party points with pride te tbe great
achievements of Its put and offers as an
earnest et Its future faithful unbroken
record et services performed for troedem,
union and national prosperity,
THE PARTY OF PROTECTION.
It la preeminently the party el protection.
It was corn et the Irrepressible desire te
protect the slave from the lash et the mas'er
and te save our civilisatien from the blight

performed tbe sacred mission of protecting
the republle from secession and disunion
and In the latter time It ueceead In protect
ing the credit and enrrency of the nation
from repudiation and in 11 at le a. Its plat
form, epitomized, stands for tbe protection
or popular government en the American
continent. Stands for the protection of

Stands for the protection of the life, liberty

Stands for tbe protection et home Inven

nessefthe American home. It welcomes
te our shores the downtrodden and op
pressed or every land, but It Insists tbat the
Inestimable blessing of American cltlzon cltlzen
hip, purchased with tbe prleelcai bleed of
our heroes and martyrs, shall be extended
te these only who are In tell sympathy and
acoerd with Ibe fundamental principles of
our government and who will loyally sup
port the sacred prevision of the constitution
of tbe United States. And it holds that
Congress has the power te save American
civilization and morality from tbe leprosy
et Asiatic paganism, degradation and oon eon oen
taglon. it maintains that the nation abeuld
extend the benefits of free government te
slltrus levers of liberty, but ltdemanda
that tbe law of tbe land shall be a shield
only te these who obey It and that for tbe
Anarchist, tbe Communist and the crimi
nal, American Justice has nothing te offer
but the sword.
DENOUNCES THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,
The reconstructed nomecracy baa new
been in power nearly four years. Its ad
ministration has been most satisfactory te
these who held office under It. Its loy
alty has received the approval of every
enemy of the government. The courage
et Its foreign policy has amused tbe great
pewers and pleased every oeward. Ha
civil service has been se thoroughly re
formed as te delight Mr. Ulgglns. Its Jus Jus
tlee te tbe disabled soldiers has wen golden
opinions from theso who gave them their
wounds. Its financial management baa
been safe because of its inability te destroy
the resulting prosperity of Republican leg.
lslatlen. And its unparalleled Btraddle of
the tariff question has been a cause of won wen won
dermenttu "gods and men." It Is strong
in the imbecllitv of "Innennun desuetude"
and desorves te live as a reminiscence of
premises forgotten and pledges unre
deemed. There are these in this land who seem te
believe that the mission or the Republican
party Is at an end. That the emancipation
proclamation, Appomattox and tbe consti
tutional amendments are at once tbe monu
ments of Us glory and the gravestones et
Its demise.
But the work of tbe Republican party
will n6ver be dene until every Ameilcan
citizen enters into bis unquestioned In
heritance of liberty, equal rlitbts and jus
tice ; until representation in Congress Is
based upon votes falrlv ceunted: until ade.
quale prevision has been made ter tbe
neipiessneBs and old age of the disabled
veterans and widows or orphans of their
dead comrades ; until these poiielis of gov
ernment whleh Insure national and indi
vidual prosperity are firmly established
and until lotrletlsui and ievalty are the
only qualification!-, except fitness for offi
cial position in th9 service et tbe republic.
There are these in tbe land who Insist that
the Republican party ket p j alive the old 1 1 ac e
sectional fueling and that.lt refuses te let
" the dead past bnry Its dead." The Re
publican party lenRBand prays for the com
ing of the mlllenlum et its hope, when in
spirit and In truth Masen and Dixen's line
will be blotted forever. When fraternal
lines and oemmon Interests unite as usual ;
when the whole people are found rejoicing
tegether that the Inherited Institution of
human slavery was destroyed by the Jus
tice of Ged ; glad tegether that the holy
bends of union could net be severed ; hope
ful together for a magnificent national des
tiny ; loyal together te a common oeuntry
and Its unconquered flag. But when that
glad time comes tbe blaek and white must
march side by slde in the bread sun
shine et safety and lie down te untroubled
shadows et piotected bemrs. Tbe Repub
lican party turns te tbe New Seuth with
wide open arms. It offers loyal assistance
in the development et Its agriculture, tbe
opening et Its mines, the building up of its
manufactories. It propeaos te break down
the barriers of unpleasant memories with
the hope of a new prosperity.
Tin: tarh'p the issue.
The great distinctive issue of tbe present
campaign is the issue of the tariff. Te tbe
support et protective tarld tbere will rise
up an overwhelming army of Intelligent,
thoughtful and practical men and tbe East
and tbe West, tbe North and tbe Seuth
will join hands together te forever extermi
nate in thla republle tbe pernicious dectriue
ei rree iraue. as we gather here we remem
ber that ntber great convention held In this
city In 1SG0. We remembered bow It was
Inspired with tbe wisdom and courage te
select that great man of tbe people, that
Moses who led us through the parted
waters or the sea, past the wilderness of
battle, ever the Jerdan of safety into tbe
promlsed land. In 1881 we were driven
back into the wlldernts., again Ged gUes
us the wisdom te And another Moses who
can lilt our wandering te four years
Instead of forty. The mighty past Is
wlthus te-day. It thin us with the same
spirit of freedem, patriotism and devo
tion which breathed Inte the oemmon dust
et erdiuary humanity tbe sublime Inspira
tion of hore'c deeds. Let us read Its lessen
rightly and hr Id Its precepts dear. When
Rebert Bruce, klui: et Soetland, fay upon
bia dying bed be requested that his heart
should be taken from his Inanimate body
and borne by knightly bauds te the
Savloui'dsepulehra Afier his death James,
earl et Douglae, undertook tbe sacred mis
sion and with tbe heart encasad in a golden
caiket set upon his pilgrimage te the Hely
Land. On thelr way thither himself and
comrades we te set upon by a grtet bostet
million whitiuih inougnturyieugbt with
all the valor of mortal men they were borne
backward by sheer force of numbers and
their overthrew seemed certain, when
Djuglas, drawing from bis besom tbe
priceless casket cast It far out Inte tbe midst
ei me oncoming nest and erled out " Lead
en, heart of Bruce, we will fellow thee."
And the knight of Soetland, never dofeated
whlle following rucf.pusbed forward and
wen the day. Let this convention lled a
Diuglaai for our Bruce, He will take tbe
soul or our greater leader Inte the gelden
casket of his love aud with It lead uh en te
certain and Bplendld victory.
A TORRENT Ol' AI'l'LAUSK OVER lir.AINE.
Frequent applause greeted the opening
sentences et the chairman's speech, butTt
swelled Inte a torrent when be reaohed his
roierence te uiaine and Chevaller of Amer
ican pentics end nightmare of the Demo
cracy caused the convention te applaud
again and again, But even thli was noth neth
Ing as compared with the demonstration
which both galleries and fleer received the
declaration that tbe party cannot and must
net commit the political crime of dlsobedl dlsebedl dlsobedl
ence;te his will. Thin evoked cheers whleh
were several times repealed and accompa
nied by waving of flags and ether
tokens et exuberancc. Whoa the dir.
ferent candidates were named by tbe
speaker, Hhermau and Allisen received
me weigm ei applause, uut it was noticed
that he refrained from mentioning the name
of the soldier Judge of IUInele, Whea
he classed tbeAnareblst with tbe criminal
there wero expressions of spplause, but
when he nald that tbe administration bad
' for four years performed its duties
with satisfaction " the audience sat
dumb and surprised until he added
"te Us officeholders," The speaker'!
voice penetrated every nook and oerner et
tbe hall, his attitude was erect, his gestures
appropriate, and be deserved In fnll meas
ure the prolonged applause which came
from tbe vast audience when the closing
word! fell from hie lips. Silence restored
the rest etthe roll of the temporary effleers
was reed, leading off with C. F, Frlsby, et
Michigan, Michael Rtekard, Wisconsin,
nd W. M. Hewell, Tennessee, as secretar
ies. Thla also failed te be submitted te the
convention for ratification but no objection
was made te this course.
"Mr. Chairman," said ex-Congressman
Herr Just at that mement the chairman
pushed an electric- button and the band
atruek np medley of airs and Mr. Ueir
stepped back Inte his seat.
The convention kept time with Its feet te
"Yankee Deedle," "Marching Through
Georgia." Finally bursting into song
It applauded in reverent manner
when the strains et "Amerlea" broke
upon tbe air and grew vocal again when the
national hymn gave way te the "Star
Spangled Banner." When the musle had
ceased Mr. Herr waa reoegnlzsd. He
wanted In behalf of the Michigan delega
tion te present te the convention gavel
made of the weed from the oak under
which the Republican f a ty waa organized,
July G, 1861, In Jacksen, Mleh. In accept.
Ing the gavel Mr. Thursten said he would
at once proceed te pound the daylights out
of the Democratic party. Mr. Reet, of Ark,,
moved that the report en the temporary
olllcera be approved, but the chair
stated that this bad already been done by
the absenoe et objections when the report
wee presented. The gray-beardad dele
gate from Kansaa objected te this conclu
sion and Reet withdrew his motion,
Judge Meedy, of Dakota, moved te glve
Dakota ten delegates. He was Informed by
the chair that the national committee had
already cenceded what waa asked for. On
the motion el Gen. Bingham, et Pennsylva
nia, the rules of tbe Heuse of Representa
tives were adopted, and en the motion
of a delegate from Kansas the following res
olution of sympathy wlthUen. Sheridan was
adopted by standing vote amid hearty
cheers: "The delegates te the Republican
national convention representing the survi
ving comrades of tbe distinguished soldier
nd general of the army.l'hlllpli. Sheridan,
and representing also the living principles
for whleh he se gallantly fought and
triumphed during the great era of tbe war
send him sincere congratulations en the
prospects et his recovery and hepe that he
Is spared for many years." (Applause )
A resolution of number of old soldiers
new In the city that tbey be allowed
200 tickets of admission te tbe conven
tion te be distributed by the G. A. R,,
committee was presented by delegate
Lewis et Kentucky. The chair ruled,
tbat the resolution would go te the com
mlttee en resolutions without debate,
but Lewis urged tthat the rnles be
suspended and tbe request be adopted.
Mr. Talt, of Seuth Carolina, made
vigorous speech In favor et the suspension
of the rules. The Democratic party, he
said, was also en receid as against tbe sol
dier, and tbe Republican party could
net aflerd te aet meaury In tbe matter.
Mr. Butlerwerth, el Ohie, asked tbat the
matter be left te the national committee
with Instructions te see tbat the matter be
adjusted and finally It was se referred.
This much accomplished. Cot. Geerge
R. Davis, et Chicago, saoeeedodjn get

Te the Open Letter of Mr. Hon.len en Ilia
Bats Hatliet Ballresd Contrevsrsy,
Kt)3. lNTRI.UOENCKR I had DOt tllO
least Intention et being drawn Inte news
paper discussion when I wrete the artlele
you kindly published en the lMh Inst
But there are some ststemenls In Mr.
Housten's letter te whleh I should like te
reply as briefly as possible.
Mr. Housten state that "no man had any
understanding wfth him as te where, when
or hew the committee should report."
Regarding thla I would say that at the
meeting referred te It waa tbe understand
ing et ether gentlemen preaent, as well as
myself, that the oemmtttoo would net take
any aotlen, regarding the proposed railroad
te Bare Harber, until the coat of right et
way had been ascertained and reported.
Mr. Housten says, referring tothealleged
difficulties connected with the enterprise,
that the Inquiry suggests Itself, " did they
wish this difficulty kept hldden until after
the people had subscribed their money?'
Te say that this statement Is uncalled for
and unjurt la putting It In the mildest pos
sible terms. If Mr. Housten knows any
thing at all about this enterprise, or the
parties connected with It, he knows that
everything In connection with It bas been
open and above beard. And full and free
Information en all points concerning the
proposed railroad has been eheerfully given
te all parties desiring It Admitting tbat
Mr. Housten is In favor of the project he
seems te be se entirely taken up with tbe
miner details that he losea sight or the
main question, whleb, as 1 leek at the
matter, is about as fellows : Would a rail
road from Lancaster te Safe Harber be a
benefit te tbe business Interests of Lancas
ter city and oeunty ? It se, should the rail
road committee recommend the enterprise
te the Beard of Trade T
It has never occurred te the parties Inter
ested In the building et this read that the
station of the Pennsylvania railroad at the
Safe Harber end of the line, being en the
oppeelto side of the creek, was an Insur
mountable obstaelo In the way of tbe
success of the new read. I have been In
formed tbat the Qnarryvllle ratlresd Is one
of the host paying branches In the Reading
system. Yet they have no connection
whateverwlth the Pennsylvania railroad
at either end of thelr line. And at thelr
seuthern terminus have no connection and
In event et the possibility of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company net
being willing te make n satisfactory
arrangoment with the proposed read,
about tbe only quostleci Involved
would be a transfer from ene station te the
ether, which Is matter of every day occur eccur
ence In the railroad towns throughout the
oeuntry, with the exception of the cities,
whero the dlllorent railroads unlte In
union depot And, se far as my knowledge
gees, theso cxoeptlons are "tow and far bo be bo
tween." Regarding the matter of route, I would
say that the parties interested In the pro
posed railroad have spent oeusldorable
amount et time and money In going evor
the aeveral routes between Lancaster and
Safe Harber and believe that the line of the
present survey, with perhaps few slight
changes, lathe cheapest, most practical and
would be the bast paying line upon which
the read could be built. At the same time
tbey would willingly adept any practical
snggestlena en change of route tbat would
Insure cheaper construction and better
line. Regarding the concluding paragraph
or Mr. Housten's letter, I would merely
say that his remarks about " Insinuations "
and "lying" I regard as beneath the dig
nity et the chairman of commltteo et tbe
Lancaster Beard of Trade and unworthy of
the wrtter'e notice.
