ze Railroad in Broadway. Ii preference
be given to any party, it should clearly be to
that party whose valuable property is imper-
lied BY the undertaking. If the property oy-
pers on Broadway ask the privilege OF building
Road which they are very reluctant TO have
built at all, giving bonds that they will accom-
plish it promptly and faithfully (and indeed,
their permanent property interest is guaran'
ty on both points, then they should have the
preference of any specializing combination OF
outsiders. But when they offer to give $1,000
per car annually for the privilege OF making
and running this Road, against an offer of $50
per car by the outsiders, or to carry through
for three cents per passenger against the spec
ulators' charge of fire cents, and the Common
Council rejects the propertyOwners' offer and
accepts that of the outsiders, then there is
not sane human being who does not morally
knon that their reason for this preference is
selfish and rascally one-that they are either
the purchased tools of the outside spectators
OF their corrupt and guilty confederates. We
defy the most dexterous attorney of the spec
uators to frame any plausible explanation of
their conduct other than this.

opposition to their win and the truth is If it could be
known it is the uptown aritocracy that has vetoed the
Report Of the Committee and the Resolution OF this
Board. and am not afraid to say that he was arguing
against his own honest conviction but 1t would be
much nagnan mous for him TO have sent four or
five days before least before he condescended 10 let
us know it Now esk why it was he did not do it,

the City, that nc knows more than the twenty mem

Comm on Council shall pass this bill without hint
