ing, upon tho authority Of D railroad man, that
an agent Of Jny Gould Is in Springfield, to 3d.
euro legislation regarding tho mode OF e1eoting
railroad Directors in this State, no have reason
to bolloyo Aas basis OF truth. Jay Gould md

videB TINT railroad companies may elect Diroo-
tors for ono, two, md throe yoars. Tho
Northwestern Company accepted this pro-
rision as rulo OF their management. Al
It was not retroactive In their case,
1t Was n perfectly fair and Btraightfor-
ward transaction. Tho operation Of this Inv is
opposed to tho schemes Of just such speculntora
nB Joy Could It makes railroad management
moro stable, and it prevents cliquea from gotting
for year, fcooing it, and thon retiring. II is g
sufficient reason why Jny Gould and Lis sort
should want tho law changed, and tho latter fact
is also sufficient roaaon why tho Legislature
should rofuHo to change it. Tho law is good
ono aB it stands. Tho pooplo Of this State want
no Jay GouldB or Jay Gould operations hero, md
