THE CAMPAIGN IN THE SOUTHWEST
Continued from First Page. }

Malone has tried to make to-day. This rail-
read company had bought this railroad. Gen.
Malone went to this railroad company and
demand that they should turn out two of its
permanent and efficient officers because they had
exercised the right to vote as they pleased in a
preceding election, and because they had made
themselves probably little busy as he thought.
He went to the President of the Company and
demanded that they should be removed The
PRESIDENT of the Company said, Why, l can
not q" that, General. YOU are getting down into
our business too close. l paid the State $685. 600
was not bound To pay; paid your hands their
back wages: the road has been very liberal to
the people, and | cannot permit You to come
mere ana dictate 10 me what officers | shall have
on this road. Besides that, these officers are the
best have He said, 'If You do no, remove
them, then our friendly relations cease
W ell, said he, General, suppose l turn of
theSc TWO Just because YOU say So YOU NAV be
here Tomorrow with demand that / shall dis
mss others. You cannot get men rs qualified
as these every day, and cannot afford to do it,
Very well, our friendly relations must cease"
=, he went away and the next day the Wig of
Richmond contained one of the bittereSt articles
ever saw against this railroad, in which he said
there should be war eternal with the railroads.
while ut the very same time he was in close nj.

the Danvlle road and the O. & A. and some
other roads III the State.
dc thereupon introduced bill giving to the
commissioners the power t. turn of every man
! on this railroad NJ their pleasure Cries Of
shame, shame.) Gen Malone was appointed
The committee. and. OF course he had the mower
then to make these demands himself. What do
youthink of that? (Cries of outrage: shame.'')
Is that something for YOU 10 endorse and espe-
claliT now, when this section of the country de-
ponds upon this railroad for its development. II

no way OF escaping it. 1t is spending more

shall be upon this railroad eternal war unless
YOU give me, Gen Malone, the right to say who
you shall have on your line MS employees: and
and who You shall not CA voice. his course
will soon be run
Not only that. You have seen statements
hlaoe IN the papers Ivy Frank Rutiin, that this
company had given Gen. VI. $1,000 in stock
Mr.. Ruttn didn't know all about it. Gen Malone

ing that. Laughtcr,)
Now, don know what its consideration was.

during that time to serve the road And in nd
a!tl3n to that they gave him stock which sold for

'"', Is getting interesting. Laughter
After all that, getting $i95,0Q0 from this rail-
road company for his Influence as imagine, he
turned around % them and said Il have no, got
enough yet; now lc; me appoint you. officers.
and all Will be right And because 1hcy would
not do thai, with Sl95.CC0 of their money in his
p"cKc;. he turned around and denounced them

hat Is immediately after. So that if they had
allowed him TO turn oitthcsc two men, and given
nm the right TO dictate who should be its officers
why then this railroad company would have
been very proper company; Very liberal. A
