THE r. R. BOND SITUATION.
Guarantees from headquarters.

We are to-day enabled to lay before
our readers important advices in rela-
tion to the railroad bond matter, a
subject which perhaps none other sur
passes, in its vital interest to the
people.
The conference of our delegation
with Mr.. Clark at Omaha. may briefly
be stated as barren of definite results,
owing to the unwillingness of that gen.
tleman to assume the responsibility of
desired guarantees. His reference of
the whole matter to Messrs. Gould and
Dillon at New York, and the sugges.
ton to our deputation to visit them for
a conference, was acted upon, and some
| of the committee nave discharged that
trust.
We believe the obstacles heretofore
in the way of the fulfllment of the con.
tract on the part of the people are now,
largely If not wholly removed. The spirit
of concession has been shown on theparI
of the railroad officials, and that is {
long step toward the settlement of pas
differences. We can meet them half
way, and shall eventually lose nothing
by the endorsement of the bonds, al
originally contemplated.
