900 ELEvsroH-The management of our
railroad are beginning TO see the great
Importance of protecting and fighting
for their Mississippi river connections at
Hickman. For some time they have been
experimenting with connections at o'her
points, nader estimating the command
ing position of their own roads. Presi-
dent Cole is now canviuce that the true
interest OF the railways iie represents is
10 be bese advanced BY building up its
Western terminus at Hickman, looking
OF a permanent trans Mississippi connec-
tion at this place. In accordance with
the idea, Chief Engineer Norris was here
last week. prospecting for the best
point to build a permanent wharf. He
reconnoitered the route through Sleepy
Hollow TO West Hickman, where the
~hsrfeoat now lays, and also the mouth
Of The Bayou above town. We learn that
the survey iucliued bis mind to report
IN fsvor of the point where the wharf
boat now lays. The idea il TO sink - or
50 rock barges, and to commence the
work as soon As possible. II the expert
lnent shall prove sue cessful in protectin s
the hank. they will proceed to build an
elevator which will cost 500 or $50 600
All parties appear TO be thoroughly in
earnest in the work. There are some at
home who think it only ruse on the
part Of the railroad officials to obtain
better arrangements with their cOnnect-
Ing roads- This may be true, but we
think differently The great Importance
and necessity of the proposed work has
been obvious to outside men of expert
ence for long time.

They met Ia Sommerfeld, lis each

Mr. Phillips spoke in English, charg

TIE Ratification Meeting

on Saturday night was one Of the best
evidences of the determination of the
people to vote with the Democratic
Party in favor of Reform and Retrench-
ment.
The vast crowd of people assembled at
the corner of Sixth and King streets to
hear Senator Bayard's clear, eloquent,
concise and truthful exposition of the
abuses of the government by the Ad-
ministration at Washington, with such
marked attention proved that the mas
ses are in sympathy with the movement,
and are fully determined that there shall
be an entire change in the executive
power of the General G ,vernment by
which the dishonest men who have made
once means for enriching themselves
and impoverishing the people during the
last ten years shall surrender the places
they have dishonored, to better men.
TO men who will be careful of the inter-
ests Of the people and cooperate with
them in the great movement Of Reform
whereby the expenditures Of the General
Government shall be reduced seventy
tive or one hundred millions of dollars a
year.
By proper retrenchments this can be
done, and SAMUEL J. TILDEN is the very
man to undertake, push forward and
complete such Reform as will accom-
Fiish such desirable bject. At the
meeting on Saturday night no sentiment
was uttered that could be objected to
any gentleman who desires Reform in
The Government. and all are invited tc
vote and cooperate with us in our en-.
deavors TO accomplish the patriotic object
in view. Under the Democratic platform
every man may vote the ticket of oul
party freely whet her he had co.operated
with it or not, nor will he subject him
self to any charge except that of being
Reformer, and certainly all men ought
to be ready to rid the government of the
thieves and robbers who have fed upor
it during the reign of Grantism. Come
with us and help us in the good work.
