the very best was able 10 do under
the circumstances. In addition to the
above force had many others who
did excellent service, mot under pty),
yet was unable TO get the force nee
essary to protect the voters. We
held ma tiers well in hand
In about fifty.live precincts
but In about six precincts the vote was
not protected because was unable 10
do H. Our force suffered many out
rnges at the hands Of the state and
city authorities, which / apprehend
will be fully confirmed by what Is
about 10 take place In our courts. The
situation in the precincts not well
handled 10 beyond the comprehension
OF those who have not been eye-wlt-
nesses thereto, and do not think that
any hundred deputies 10 the precinct
could project the vote therein In one
~ these wards alone during the night
before the election over one hundred
peaceable but defenseless men, with
out charge were thrown into the cellar

were closed and then let out. During
this time they were given to under

that they could go free. This
Is a sample of what
we had TO contend with here. Had

better work with less expense, but |

[ say and I know it from the highest
authority"
Mr.. Howey: "Well, the present
committee was not.selected in favor of
the railroads. Why is 1t not to. day in
favor of the billlyou advocateW
Mr.. Howey proceeded with his crlti-
cisms OF the substitute, which he as
serted Disseminated In favor of the
roads in certain states and against
those which necessarily went through
several states. 1t would strike down
all the cheap rates of the West and
South and the cheap TRANSPORTATION of
flour and wheat from Kansas and
Minnesota would be a thing of the
past. II would put dear
bread into the mouths of
the great working millions of the
East instead of cheap bread. He had no
sympathy with that class of men who
simply inveighed against railroad'com-
pauies because they were corporations.
IL was cheap kind of business for
men to go about crying monopoly"
The great wealth of Gould and Van
derbilt had not been taken from
the pockets of the laboring
men. The roads they built
they paid for. They had made money
by buying poorly managed roads,
putting brains into them and making
them profitable. Their gain was legiti.
mate. They made money In another
way, not from the laboring men, but
from the men who went into Wall
street and then thought they were
smarter than "those old fellows !"
III II could be proven to
him that the railroads were becoming
prosperous by extortionate charges, he
would so as far as any man to correct
the evil.
Mr., Boyle of Pennsylvania, after at
lacking the various provisions of the
substitute, criticised the committee
bill and announced his opposition to
the commission feature as being alto.
gether without value and amounting
to nothing whatever.
Mr.. Weaver of Nebraska favored the
substitute bill.
Pending further debate, the house
adjourned.
