a special from Montreal says: Gen
eral Manager Hickson of the Grand
Trunk Railway has returned from New
York and it is understood has failed in
his endeavors to come to an under
standing with Commissioner Fink.
Traffic Manager Sergeant has been
instructed to inform the Commissioner
that his award to the Grand Trunk
was MOTTO bp accepted, and to demand
revision of the award. Should this
be refused, it is believed the Grand
Trunk, the West Shore and Buffalo,
ard the Central Vermont will imme-
diately form combination, and an
east-bound freight war will be de-
clared. The Grand Trunk is evident
ly anticipating such an event and is
making all preparations in the way of
increasing its rolling stock and getting
it into frst-class oder.

A STRANGE "PICKUP." One day
last week as Mr.. IL. 4. Fitzgerald was
out rowing, and when in the middle
of the pond, he was greatly surprised
at discovering grey squirrel endsa-
voring to get into the boat. BY the
assistance of an oar the little animal,
who showed signs of exhaustion and
had evidently been in the water for a
considerable time. was rescued. When
the boat reached the shore the squir-
rel showed no disposition to vacate,
nor did he until Mr.. Fitzgerald had
retired a short distance, when he made
off for the adjoining woods. A grey
squirrel is rarely seen in these parts,
but to find one in the middle of q
three mile lake is somewhat extra
ordinary circumstance.

For This Relief, Much Thanks.

In an interview at Des Moines Cover
nor Butler explained some of the de-
tails of his movement He admitted
that he was endeavoring to make COM
binations to defeat an election by the
people, and intimatcd that in that
event the Republican electors would
vote for him in preference to leaving it
to the Democrats in Congress, who
would certainly elect Cleveland. The
governor said:
''In the event of both Blaine and
Cleveland's failure to receive majority
in the electoral college, an event which
my candidacy has very troublesome
tendency to bring about, to which end
in fact every m ovement in my campaign
is being directed. l shall secure cleo
toral votes in Michigan, West Virginia
and probably Iowa. After the October
elections our party will have abundance
of opportunity to combine with the I'M
successful party, so as to get electoral
votes in New York and Illinois. The
combination will be made in the inter-
est of the people, so as to prevent
either of the old parties from obtaining
a majority of the electorals; then if the
Republicans want to see Cleveland
President, they can let it 20 to the
House,

The Chicago Times Story.

CHICAGO, special telegram, Oct. 4-Thcre is
not the slightest foundation for the report that
John r. Mclean has purchased the Chicago
Times. Wcl-informed persons ridiculc the
story and say by the terms Of the agreement
entered into at the time OF the appointment Of a
conscrvtor for Mr. Storcy,i is not possible for
any one to buy the paper while he lives More
over, Judge knickcrbocker assured Mrs. Storcy's
lawyers that he would not listen to any appica-
ton for the purchase Of the Times without first
giving notice to all interested parties. This
notice has not been given, and under the agree
mcnts above mentioned, will not be during Mr.
Storcy's life. There is syndicate here who
are very anxious to obtain control Of the paper,
and it Is probably At their nstigation that these
stories are sent abroad. the object being to
by the terms Of will in her possession the
Times property reverts to her on the death of
its founder.

The Chicago Times feels that there

The Chicago Times feels that there is
a great probability of the defeat of the
Democrats in Ohio in October. Its
alarm is well founded as the returns
this month will show. Ohio is not so
derclict in her duty as to go Demo-
cratic on a great occasion and one
more than likely to foreshadow the
result in November. But hard work
will be done in the Buckeye state by
both parties but, as the Chicago Times
says, the indications point to Repub-
ivan victory.

Ohio election. These men will be on
the watch for any violations of the
election laws, and for any attempts at
illegal voting. They will be paid for
every v;olator of the law whom they
arrest, and will thus have an incentive
to do their dutn faithfully. The Re-
publicans arc determined to have, if
possible, fair election in Ohio, and
they propose to defeat at any cost the
outrageous plans for illegal voting
which the Democrats are already pre-
pairing.

Following Hendricks Advice.

From the Indianapolis Times: What
evidence has Thomas A. Hendricks
ever given the American people OF his
wisdom and ability as a statesman?
What public measures did he ever form
ulate or propose for the public good9
What important state paper is he the
author Of? Where would the country
now stand If his advice had been fol-
lowed and his friends had been intrust-
ed with the control of the government
Of the United States during the past
thirty years?
The war would have been a failure.
The union would have been DESTROY
ed
Slavery would have been perpetual
The public debt would have been
repudiated.
The government would not have
been ALE to borrow money at less than
eight per cent, whereas they are now
to get it at three per cent.
Specie payments would not have
been resumed.
We would have had worthless tree
bank shin plastcrs instead of national
bank notes.
Manufactures would have been pros
trate under the weight of British free
trade.
Wages of workingmen would be
down to the level of the pauper system
in Europe.
"Blackmail'' would have been levied
on public officials to support Democrat
ic newspapers and supply deficiencies
in Democratic corruption funds.
Democratic pecnlation and stealing
would not be condemned or punished.
Every intelligent man in this country
knows that the record of Thomas A.
Hendricks points to these results, and
If he could have controlled this govern
mcnt during the past thirty years it is
plain to see what would have been our
condition TODAY,
