TILDEN AS A CANDIDATE.

my opinion and firm belief that Tilden

Gould and the Inventor.


An eminent Western railroad President
told me story some time ago about jaw
Gould confusing man with a patent. An
ingenious Western editor, about fourteen
years ago, invented conscience for con.
duct0rs OF railroads in the shape of me-
talllc box which contained the tickets and
prevented thefts. The box was something
IKE large brick and had to be carried in
the hand. He finally got a contract To mt If
on the Lake Shore Railroad before the CON
solldation was achieved, and about thirtv-
hVe conductors were already groaning and
swearing at having to carry il around
under their arm. After the consolidation
more than one hundred conductors wouI6
have TO use 1t, and my informant Wasat his
wits end to know how to get rid of If
Ihe inventor came with the box and
talked up Its merits by the hour, and
sometimes laid out his contract as If to
say that he stood on his bond. and once
imagining that his friend thought the box
was not quite perfected, he had il made of
another metal and came in triumphantIv
at the very moment that Jay Gould. who
tnen had the Erie Railroad. was nayino a
visit IS his Western factor. A lucky
thought struck the latter and he bounced
from his chair and introduced Mr.. Jay
Gould to the gentleman who had patented
the conscience ticket box. The
occasion inspired the inventor. and he
went ON and elaborated the nature of the
box until be was absolutely out of breath,
could not saying one word meantime.
After getting breath, the inventor re-
marked; us there any defect whatever
in this box, Mr.. Gould?' "Yes; L think
SO" said Gould, in his very quiet voice
"Name it," "Why, your conductor

The Day in Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 19.-The situation here.
growing out of the telegraphers' strike,
showed no material change as the day
wore on, save that the working force in
the Western Union office gradually en-
larged, 80 men being at work by O'Clock.
At that hour the night force had not yet
reported for duty, and the officials did not
know how many would remain loyal to
the company. None of the chief operators
nor any one holding official rank went out.
Viewing the situation from the standpoint
of the great strike of 1870, when every
operator left the office, Col. Lowry is con-
hdent that the company has already car
ried its point and that the strikers will be
discounted.
The strike occurred here three minutes
before that in New York CITY.
