AN ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.


Reported Wholesale Robbery by Railroad
Agents and Conductors.
DENVER, Col, Sept. 2.-Some time ago
the Union Pacific began a series of inves-
LEGATIONS which resulted in the retirement
of few train men and other employees.
The Information has been obtained that a
conspiracy for systematic robbery had
been discovered upon one of the Colorado
lines, in which several employees of long
standing were said to be implicated.
United States Marshal Hill has been work.
ing up the case for some time, and it is
claimed that he has connected three or
four conductors and two or more station
agents with the robberies. One of the
conductors is said to have been located in
Illinois by the marshal, one in Missouri
and the others are still in the State. The
station agents named in the conspiracy
are yet at their posts, unaware of the in
vestigation.
1t is claimed by the discoveries that one
of the agents has pocketed the proceeds OF
200 cars of coal within the past year by
making false returns to the company, re-
porting it as used on LOGON olives or having
been sold to customers. Overweights were
charged or part of the weight kept back
and the amount representing the surplus
pocketed by the agent.
|. 1t is also stated that conductors and
agents have been engaged in q conspiracy
on the old ticket racket. 1t is claimed
that as high as sixteen tickets have
been held out by one conductor on
one trip and returned to the station and
again placed on sale and the proceeds di-
vided between the conductor and the
agent 1t is reported that one of the agents
has been carrying on this business for a
year, and the evidence now in possession
of the United States Marshal is sufficient
to send him to the penltentlarV.

WASHINGTON, JUNE 25, 1888.
CANDIDATE HARRISON.

Ex-senator Benjamin Harrison of
Indiana, the Republican nominee for
the Presidency, is n respectable and
fairly representative candidate.
Though his name has often been mem
toned in connection with this Office,
there is nothing in his record to show
that he is above any of his competitors
in ability or popularity.
lie was a candidate for Governor Of
Indiana in 1876 and was defeated at
the polls by "Blue Jeans" Williams.
This is the only time he ever was a
nominee for State office, except in
1860 and 1864, when he was chosen
reporter of the State Supreme Court
with the rest of the Republican ticket.
In 1880, -four years after his de-
feat for Governor, the Republican
State ticket was headed by Albert G..
Porter, who was elected Governor.
The Legislature was Republican and
Mr.. Harrison was sent TO the Senate.
His term expired last March, and a
Democrat, David Turpie, defeated him
for reelection.
There may be some votes for him as
the grandson of President Harrison,
but that is doubtful in this practical
age. He.will poll tho regular party
vote, but is not likely to gain the sup
ort of any Of the elements which so
ccessfully opposed the party nomi-
in 1854. Indiana, however, is
lys close and doubtful State, and
G Republicans nominate ex- Gov,
Porter for Governor, the result
cannot be foretold by the most
need politician.
mpaign bids fair TO be fight
nciples rather than, as in
men, and the party news
perhaps be decent enough
ed into the family with
mination.
