The Baltimore and Ohio and Penn

The Baltimore aud Ohio and Penn
eylvania Railroad Companies have re-
duoed the rates of fare from Chicago
to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
and other points to the figures adopted
by the Michigan Central and Lake
Shore Companies. Upon the settle
ment of the railroad war the two latter
companies refused to advance their
passenger rates to the prices made by
the Baltimore and Ohio and Penflsyl4
vania Companies, in consequence of
which the Michigan Central and Lake
Shore did the bulk OF the business.
The West bound rates OF the Balti-
more and Ohio and Pennsylvania CONS
panles remain unchanged.

Louis for the next national democratic
convention. The Courier-J ournal
says: est. Louis already puts in bid
for the next national democratic con.
vention. Not if Louisville knows her,

have special claims in that quarter.
This city is on the border. 1t has bet
