ATTENTION DEMOCRATS!

Next Tuesday, November 3rd,
you will be called upon to cast
your ballots for Conrad B. Day,
our candidate for State Treasur-
er. If you wish to elect him,
see that every Democratic vote
in your district is polled. Do
not leave a single Democratic
vote at home. Stir up those
who are Indifferent, provide
means to haul old men, and
those who live some distance
away, to the polls. If you do
this, the day will be ours. DO
not neglect the county ticket in
your zeal for the State ticket.
We have good men who are wor-
thy of and deserving of our sup
port. Once more, go to the polls,
and vote the Democratic ticket,
the whole ticket, and nothing
but the ticket.

The Corporations and the State,


From the Christian Union.
Men who get charter from the
State for the purpose of building a
highway ought not be able to keep 1t
for the purpose of preventing the high
way from being built, and in this par
ticular case this attempt to prevent
competition appears on its face to be a
palpable violation of the state Consti-
tuition which provides that ''no railroad,
canal, or other corporation, or the
lessees, purchasers, or managers OF any
railroad or canal corporation, shall con-
solidate the stock, property or franohis-
es of, or in any way control, any other
railroad or canal corporation owning
or having under its control parallel
or competing line" Legal proceed
ings have already been commenced
under this clause to prevent the con-
summation of the SALE The defense
is probably foreshadowed by Mr..
Chauncey M. Depew, the President of
the New York Central, who claims
that "a charter, lot of holes in the
ground, some culverts, some grading,
and partially purchased right of way
do not constitute competing line.
We should suppose that they do con-
stitute "stock property and franchises" "
and though the State cannot compel
the stockholders or the purchasers to
build the road, it should have the pow
er to declare the whole forfeited to the
State for violation of law in the
attempted sale, and to sell it out again
to the highest bidder who will com
plete it. The Democratic Convention
has hal the political sagacity to de-
nounce this attempt and to commend
the proceeding of the Governor and
Attorney General to prevent its con-
summation, while the Republican Con-
veution had the unwisdom to refuse to
make any utterance on the subject.
That party which shows the greatest
promptitude in compelling the great
corporations to act as servants, not
masters, of the people will have the
popular vote in the near future and
the Democracy are ahead of the Re-
publicans on this issue.
