Events IN Wall STREET.
Rumors OF Disagreement Between the lead
Ing FreiRht Lines.

Late yesterday afternoon rumors were
circulated in Wall street that a disagreement
had occurred between the Grand Trunk people
and the New York Central Railroad that threat
ened to break the pooling arrangement entered
into last week between the trunk lines. II was
stated that Mr.. Hickson. Of the Grand Trunk
had refused to sign the compact. and that his
line would take freights at prices lower than
other roads.
The reports were not generally credited on
the street. although tho prices of trunk line
stocks broke seriously in the last hour of busl-
moss: Mr.. Hickson and Sir Henry Tyler left
Tor Canada last evening AZ O'Clock. Before
their departure MIR. Hickson said that he had
conceded all that he considered eNpodicnt
but that tho New York Central demanded ex-
orbitant terms and he WIS not willing to grant
them llo considered that Now York Ccntrnl
was really TO blame for the failure to come To-
working arrangement and that road and not
his line had refused TO sign what he considered
n reasonable contract.
At the Windsor Hotel last evening worry
large number OF stock operators assembled To
discuss the situation Several railroad mon
were present and they stated that the disngree-
ment was confined to cattle rates. II was gcn-
erally conceded that something was out Of Joint
with the railroad compact hut the cAact nature
of the difficulty was vnriously stated.

Wells was found obdurate or for some
other cause, it w,s found mpracticable
and abandoned, and Mr.. Field, loath to
forego the advantages that might have
accrued could the terms have been
carried out, has had these two worthy
gentlemen and also LittlcGeId brought
here to rehearse the story of the great
enterprise; but in the opinion Of many
Mr.. Field never made more grievous
mistake than in this matter. There

President Making.

After delay of nearly two weeks
the Electoral Commission has given
Florida to Hayes and Wheeler, and
after the votes Of Florida had been
counted, those of Georgia, Illinois, In
diana, Iowa, Kansas and Kentucky
were counted, and the case Of Louisi-
ana was reached and referred to the
Commission, which State is now under
advisement. 1t is expected that the
Commission will report on Louisiana
Saturday. Democrats as we'll as Re-
publicans considered the presidential
question virtually settled in favor Of
Hayes when the decision in regard TO
Florida was made known, and loud and
deep were the lamentations Of the dis
appointed Democratic Office seekers,
The Republicans throughout the coUn-
try are jubilant.
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1877-02-14

The Democrat and Jefferson Banner
continue to assert that Sec'y Chandler
telegraphed Gov. Stearns that "Florida
must be counted for Hayes by fair
means or otherwise, and that money and
troops would be sent" the same as if
the lie had not long since been ex-
ploded. Those papers must have a
high opinion Of themselves and the
intelligence of their readers to persist
in repetition of such falsehoods.

The REPUBLICAN appears to enter
tain the idea that the only salvation for
this bond-ridden, demagogue ridden
community, is for the democrats to
vote for and elect only Republicans to
FL the oGces.-Democrat.
This is hardly fair statement OF
the case. We do not so much care about
your voting for and electing Republi.

Be little more particular as to the

Thu following refreshing extract is
from last weeks Democrat:
The fact is, that all the absurd, mis-
chievous teachings in regard to the
liquidation of our railroad bond debt,
have been promulgated by Republicans
for the benefit of Republicans. The
Union League of to-day is based on
the teachings Of prominent Republi-
cans Of a few years ago.
Sc far from the above being true,
the fact is that the city is indebted to
a Republican for nearly all the special
legislation which has saved it from the
hands of the grasping bondholders.
We all remember the critical period in
the history Of the city when the tax
payers arose in their might, threw off
party shackles and elected Daniel Hall
Member of Assembly. Nor have the
people forgotten how faithfully and
successfully he discharged the trust con-
fided to him-that the following year
he was re elected by an overwhelming
majority to represent the city in the
legislature and still further guard our
interests, and that he was finally called
upon the third time to serve the peo-
pie as their representative at Madison.
The bills which he framed and secured
the passage of met with the approba-
ton Of all classes, and had in the Wa
tertown Democrat faithful and con-
sistent advocate. These are among
the laws which the Democrat-L League
Member of Assembly is now attempt
ing TO repeal. It requires great
amount Of assurance for the Democrat
to maintain that this proposed Iegisla-
ton is in pursuance Of Re publican
teachings"
