And now, having answered your questions,
We will thank you as frankly and squaFely to
answer opy.. You fhall have 10 reason 10 COM
plain tha, they are irrelevant TO the issue or
personally insulting. Here they are:
/. Do you think it righ, tha. the PrcEidon, Of
the Central should be paid for bis services by
the privilege Of supplying the Road from his
store with all manner Of chairs, spikes, bolts,
uuts. and other iIon and hardware, 10 the
amount Of hundreds OF Thousands per annum,
at such prices NJ he or his firm may SEQ fit
TO chargel II tho Enc, Hudson River, or Iiar'
| lem Road, were managed ly President who
paid himself IN this way, would you deem II
lust 10 other dealers ia iron and hardware, ad-
yantagcous TO the Road, and intrnslcally properl
III. If you believe that the Central hns run
" free excursion" trains for each party without
partially or prejudice, do you see any reason
why the managers should not publish tabular
exhibit Of the times when and routes over which
such trains were run, say within the last two
wears, with the price received for each We
ask only sworn transcripts from tie Company Z
hooks. Which need not in oil cover four square
inches.
III. Ifso grca. and powerful corporation as

makers, &C., &C., were 10 have Its President
and Superintendent both at once Members Ol

ton for ten years, its Treasurer for Senator,
and at length succeeding the President in Con-
gress, with It's Vice-President Chairman OF the
Republican State Committee and notorlously
the most active and efficient manager OF his
party, how would you like it'
". Suppose Mr.. Cutler of Albany had been
lifelong Democrat instead Of n Republican
and as such had been nominated and elected tt
the Legislature from a Republican district-th'
Democrats also supporting hm-and had beer
counted on by your side to vote with it, or a
least not against it-but that he had been al
emplom Of tho Central under Republican man
agers, and that you had seen him brought int
tho Assembly by tho son Of tho Republican
President, primed to vote directly and steadil,
against his old friends, so az not to make but Il
prevent Oh organization of the House Tor weeks
without one word of explanation or apology Il
those he thus deserted and betrayed, how woul'
