A Proposed Change of limo

Several rumors respecting the course
which would be pursued by the Central
Pacific Company with regard to the
shortened time BY raj! to Omaha, have
been aiiont: some claiming that the speed
OF the express trains would be increased
to compete with the fast time about TO
be adopted by the Northern Pacific,
while Others claimed that n special fast
trnin carrying the mail alone. would be
put on. The statement from General
Manager Tuwne, made in San Francisco
Monday, "thnt the company is consider
ing the putting on of a trim TO conncct
with the East fast-time Mail Service"
is pretty clear evidence that u change OF
some kind will be made before long.

his asSailant and pounding the life
from his miserable body, or filling his
carcass with holes. Would not any
gentleman be content when his adyer-
sary was disarmed and lay bleeding at
his feet, or does Drake not claim to be
a gentleman? We have to accept
either hypothesis, and either places the
"bold, fearless and aggressive" Drake
in anything but an enyiable position.
Spence is unworthy the least sympa-
thy whatever capabilities he may have
once possessed have been destroyed by
intemperance, and even after making
the assault he had not sand enough to
shoot. How much less credit then is
due the other for not acting otherwise
than he did when, in the first place, 8
third party held his assailant that he
might knock him senseless?
The Warner weekly sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1885, 1884-10-31

acter we doubt very much that he will
accept, in fact many of his friends
assure us that he will not. Mr.. Stew
art did not attend the convention nor
have representative present, and we
think him altogether too good man
to have anything whatever to do with
such a ticket.
Since the above was iii type we
learn from Mr.. Stewart himself that
he has decided to run. He says he
was not made acquainted with the fact
that he was nominated until Friday
succeeding the convention, and that
it was then too late to decline. OF
course Mr.. Stewart knows his own
business best, but we miss our guess by
several degrees If he will not always
regret his action in the present cam
paign. We take it that the placing of
his name upon the ticket without his
consent was nothing more nor less
than bid for the southern vote.
The remaining nominations are of
minor importance and will have little
if any influence with our citizens.
Bad as is the principle upon which the
regular ticket was gotten up, its nomi-
nees are indisputably good men and
capable, and between the two we think
the voters of this portion of the county
at least will have little hesitation as tc
which will be their choice.
