the agent that would not ship to Minneapolis,

going to exhibit at the State fair at st.. Paul.

when arrived there tried to ship my stock
to st. Paul, but could max, no headway with
the agents. They were perfectly indifferent to
me, and said that if wanted to exhibit at the
MINNEAPOLIS fair they would transfer my stock
to the Chicago, Milwaukee l. St. Paul road, and
1t should cost me nothing to send them to the
talr grounds at Minneapolis. I told them

Mr.. King, who told me that would be we'll
treated if would stay there. A could not
get away, finally consented to stay; and so
my stock was taken down to the Minneapolis
fair grounds, where it now is.
This is Bill Washburn's style of doing
business. he is the man who was profuse
in his promises of good will towards st.
Paul when he wanted votes last fall. He is
the man Mr.. Rice PLACED on that
important railroad committee to protect
our interests. And still We find him such a
hog himself that he prevents other hogs
from being placed on exhibition at the State
fair being held in st. Paul, though he allows
them to come in direct competition with
himself at his home in Minneapolis.
When the GLOBE denounced the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul road for running a
passenger train through this city without
stopping, it stated it was not the single act
itself which was 80 noticeable, as the fact
that it was the general policy of that road
to be hostile to st. Paul. 7fr--1.r
On the 26th of August the GLOBE made
the following statement:
MIR, Prior may possibly recall little social
talk on the cars, of those high in authority,
not long since. wherein it was the boast that
| the st. Paul Il Milwaukee company would do
all it could to make Bill Kings fair at Mime.
apolis overshadow the State Fair at st.. Paul.
The sentiment was that the State fair was to
be Disseminated against because it is at St.
Paul. This may not be regarded rs a very
large matter, but we mention it incidentally to
refresh Mr. Prior memory when he is claim
Ing that the road he represents designs to be
just toward this city. As Mr.. P-ior was pres.
ent it is unnecessary to supply him with fur.
ther particulars.
We did not know that the evidence would
come SO soon and SO positive, but here 1t is
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 2, lS79.-R. G. Judson
Esq.--Dear Sir: I am sorry to say that
could not make your fair, and was obliged tu
stop here. The railroad would net bill nv ca,
only TO Minneapolis, aud when got there they
wouIo make me transfer and dray my stock
from one depot to the other. did not know
the proper parties to go to; and, after keeping
my hogs in close car all day in the heat,
was compelled to stop here. My heart and
| sympathy are at the State fair, came very
near having my stock taken in this morning By
dray, but thought it would be too late. There
are others here in the same way.
! Yours truly JOHN GILMORE.
We do not need to add extended comment
in either case. So long as the people of St
Paul will not apply the remedy, so long Al
they will not exercise the po,oer which the,
possess, just 80 long can they expec
to be treated in the manner described. Th,
statemant of the GLOBE is proven to be n,
idle affair, but genuine and deliberate at
tempt to discriminate against us.
Do the people of St. Peul propose to sent
Bill Washburns to Congress, and make gov
ernors out of Pillaburys?
Do they propose to patronize and endors'
q railroad which is cutting their throat, O.
do they propose to regulate it according t.
| law?
