Mr.. Dow was surprised that the peopls Of
Hyde Park had s.id nothing about the matter
until recently. The question WAS sprung upon
them suddenly, and during the height OF tho
packing season. Re spoke at length in regard !

bad nothing more to say about the whole thing. J
3lr. Hale stated that the question Was not a
new one. It had been for long time agitated~
Public meetings had been held at Hyde Park,
md the trouble had been ia the Courts. Every
thing that had been dono had been duly reported
in the public prints, and fully spread before the
public. He thought that the complaint that the
question waa new one WAS hardly just
spea!t Of the previous aspects Of the
question. It was true that the matter had
oeen before the Courts at various tirnes, but
n such manner as to give the Company and
he packers confidence in tie justice OF their
,laims- The Company had once been indicted

could continue 10 carry on business, il due caro- |

Ead been decided in favor Of the Company, and
hey had al been reported in tie newspapers,
nj. they were all OF q nature to make the
fiends OF tho Company mora confident
4 its rights. Chicago carried on the packing I
