CINDIDATEs AND PLATFORMS.

A despatch from Chicago says
president Adams of the Union Pacific
Road, who was in the city on Thursday
on his way East, said TO a reporter tnal
he thought the Interstate law is greatly
responsible for the decentralization 10
railroad affairs, and experience has
shown that it Is not based upon sound
principles. The inability Of roads tc
make lower rates on traffic between
large commercial centres and luterme-
diate local points, he says, has the effect
of driving the business away from large
points and the prohibition Of pools Ii
leading to a general consolidation OF
roads. The weaker lines, being unable
to compete against strong lines on ever
terms, will be forced out of existence
and the strong lines will absorb them
Which being interpreted affirms thai
Granger Railroad craftsmanship in Ell
feet will destroy competition and event
ually build up great monopoly an'

pride in having the chief of this large
