This IS tho work OF the PcnnsyyanIa road 1t forced
him to vote for himself when his vote was needed 10
got tho caucus majority the last time he was elected sen
ator and now 1t is undoubtedly forcing him TO this
fresh disgrace. To see honorable man forced into
these straits to keep his situation only makes me the
madder with the Pennsylvania road. 1t ought not TO
control our legislation and candidates Tho Eric
doesn't nor the Central, nor the Lehgh Valley Why
couldn't tho Erie keep Of its superinendenfs as
United States Senator for six years the Pennsylvania
road kept sewelll / know that the Pennsylvania
road keeps all tho year the largest room In ono OF
tho Trenton hotels, and that during the sessions IL
always has an employc there either Sewel or some one
ese to take care OF the Legislature. And hear all
sorts Of stories from politicians OF the rec passes anu
from there to the faithful who will return what IS
known Pennsylvania men, to the assembly,;
think this ought to stop. PANONIA.
Newark, Aug. 81, 1883.
Our Erie fl end gets " mad" too quickly The
Pennsylvania road would prefer to see General
Sewen out of politics and attending TO their busi-
ness AS to the story that General Sewell intends
to be a candidate despite his promise to the
chairman of the State Committee and dozen
equally prominent politicians. we take no stock
in that story nor have we seen any one who does
except Payonia.-Ed)
