rExas TRArFII ASSOCIATION

ANOTHER DAY OF HARD WORK FOR THE
MANAGERS WITH POOR RESULTS.
The general managers OF the Texas
Trsffi; Association were In session at the
Ceates all day yesterday aud far into the
night wi huut reaching form OF sgree-
ment that would suit all parties. The new
| Fort Worth and DEW line, reprs scented
| ny Assistant General F.eight Agent Nav
| n, Is the principal disturbing ele
ment. Thi- new line proposes 10 transport
goods BY sea from New York to Gslve &c n
or New Orleans, aud the carry them 10
Denver at q rate far below the present
tariff, virtually sDuttiDg q the Kansas
City line, or forcing them to do business
at ruipous q lures. The represents ives
Of the latter lines do not FL like giving
the Fort Worth and Denver people
what they ssk, but are Wiling to allow
the usual water diff rental, which Is gen
orally fixed at insurance rates. The mat
ter does not come wholly WITHIN the Iri,-
dic,ion Of the Texas association, buI also
affects the Colorado as ociatlon. TIE
members of the latter have been notin d
Of the situation by the Texas general
managers, and Rave been asked to meet
here Thufsday to help adjust matters.
The Kansas association IS also al cted,
and a meeting of its memhers will also BE-
called t. be held in this city the latter
part Of This week or the first OF next
week. Taking 1t altogether there is a
strong probability of 8 very bitter fight

thought lsst NIGHT that the Fort Worth

s ront ly cont ed lots before the
meeting adjourns, and that Its officials
will sign any reasonable agreement
rather than indulge in severe freight

The Bitter Fight Between Contending
Democratic Factions.

Democratic Factions.
NEW YORK, October 30th.-Tbe twin SEN
sations of the day here are the throat cut
ting and demoraliziDg attitude the warning
Democratic factions have assumed within
the past twenty four hours and the proposed
attempt OF the Tammany people to bar out
majority of the votes or the other parties
if possible. In each of these schemes the
Republicans are deeply interested If fac
tional differences of the Democracy can
only be kept 10 pitched point, which thev
are now touching, Republican victory in
this city is assured beyond any doubt
Hugh Grant, the Tammany candidate for
Mayor, is raving mad over the scathing
letter which General John Newton ad-
dressed to him through the papers last
night. Richard Croaker, the Tammany
successor of John Kelly, who has also been
dragged into the fight by Newton, will do
anything now to down Hewitt, and conse-
quently Newton, and the result is that the
battle is TO be carried into precincts with all
the bitterness their leaders are capable Of
There will be charges of murder, bigamy
and other crimes among those interesting
gentlemen.
In some of the populated districts il
is said that it will require steady stream of
voters dropping their ballots at the rate of
one per minute for ten hours to get them
all polled. 1t has been urged by some of
the frightened Democrats that the Governor
call special session of the Legislature at
once to have action taken to increase the
number of polling places. They profess to
fear that the Republicans may hinder and
delay the balloting, and thus cheat some
Democrats out of their votes. He says
there is no reason why every citizen should
not vote if proper measures were adopted
Captain John Delaney, who is in charge
of the Irish bureau at the Republican head
quarters, discussing the Sackville letter,
said: Il don't think it is going to win the
fight for US in this State. We had it won
before Sackville made fool of himself. Its
effects upon the campaign will be simply to
increase our majority"
