Terro Haute Express

Terro Haute Express
The letter given below will be interesting,
from the fact that many persons here were of
the belief that Major Carter was appointed
through the influence OF ex-Congressman
Peirce. The following is the letter:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 4, 1888.
NV Dear SIR received, last night, telegram
signed by yuurself and others in relation TO the
cOllectorShip in your district. said to Mr. Nc
Keen yesterday, when he was here, that L
thought from the papers before me containing
expressions from The leading Kepubncahs OF
your district, The strong weight of the case was
with Major Carter Upon re-examination OF
the papers to-day, fud 1t to be even more so
than had supposed. Nine counties in the dis
trict have, either by petition personal letters
from leading Republicans, spoken i'll his favor,
insisting upon his appointment as the proper
one for tine district. 1 gathered from yonr
dispatch that about the only objection
you have to his appointment grows out OF the
impression that his appointment is to be Mr..
Pelrce's appointing ana he Is 70 pc In some
way Mr.. Pelrce's representative. desire to say
to yOu that this is not true, The appointment Is
made by me alone upon what seems to me to he
the weight of influence in the district. II sup
posed Major Carer was to he anybody's man or
substitute would not appoint him Mt all do
not desire that he shall be my man IN any sense,
but that he shall enter upon the duties of the
office in spirit of kindness aud frendliness tn

The Management of the wabash Railroad.

ST. LOUIS, April 6.-The changes made in
the management of the Wabash railroad, at
the meeting OF directors in New York, yes
terday. caused q good deal OF comment
here. Colonel Howe secretary of the COM
pany, understands that Captain Hayes,
senior vice-president OF the Gould sys-
ten, will have general charge of
the Missouri Pacific, Iron Mountain and
Wabash system in the West; Mr.. Hopkins
be supervisor of all matters connected with
the same system in New York, and Mr..
Hoxie have authority as general manager.
The freight and passenger traffic will be ex-
tended over the Wabash. 1t is not known
what disposition will ne made of J. c. Gault
heretofore in charge of the Wabash, but it
is said he will probably become connected
with one of the large systems running
out of Chicago. An adjourned meeting of
the Wabash stockholders will be held here
on the 10th of this month, at which the ques
ton of leasing the road to the Iron Noun
tain will probably be submitted and decided,
1t is not thought there will be any obstacle
in the way of carrying out the scheme.
