Eight among the railroads is likely to dc.
yclop regarding the paying Of commission
tickets
A meeting Of the passenger department
OF the Central Traffic Association is to Ice
held in Chicago next Tuesday, aud the
most important business To come before
the meeting is the paying Of commissions.
There have been various rumors nnoat
about commissions for months past and
these will bc investigated. Originally the
Traffic Association decided that none OF it,
members should pay commissions nor sell
tickets over connecting Western lines that
did 80. This resulted In the we'll rrmcm-
bcrcd IN called "hoycptt' Of the Western
lines about two years ago. in which the
Pennsylvania Company was said 10 be the
prime mover, though the officials VI that
company explained that they were doing
no more than what many other members
Of tho Traffic Association were expected
to TO-
Since then a number oi roads, II il said.
have broken the agreement Attic meet.
ing next week an effort will bc made to
cnlo,,c Il. In speaking Of the matter to-
day, prominent railroad official said the
matter would probably be referred 10 the
executive officers ol the different roads,
and after that to the passenger department
Of the Traffic Association, which will prob
ably outline what course it, members shall
pursue.

announced that in case the police should
interfere with the meeting an adjournment
would be taken to Haymarkct square, the

and that an opcn-air meeting would bc
held there. This is the boldest utterance
by the reds since that Hateful night, and
trouble is anticipated. The best evidence
OF the truth of this statement is shown
in the fact that Chief OF Police Hubbard
today issued an order holding nearly the
entire city police force Of 1900 mou in
reserve at the various stations ready TO be
concentrated at any given point ON short
notice. When asked what he proposed to
do, Chief Hubbard said:

CONCERNING "CARpET-BAGGERs.
Coming down to home affairs and your
own State, do you not think that the white
leaders OF the Republicans in Mississippi, by
reason OF the tact that most of them are
carpet-baggers, and by reason of the fur
ther fact that the Republican administra-
uons heretofore had distributed patronage
among those carpet-baggers to the neglect
OF native whites, have thereby prevented
young native white men of ability and
ambition. from joining the Republican
column"
II don't think so. In the first place il is
not fact that most OF the white Repub-
llcan in the state are carpet baggers.
Very few or them are carpet-baggers. Ny
opinion is that not less than two-thirdS,
perhaps three-fourths OF them, arc South
ern men aud ex-Conlederate soldiers"
Mr.. Lynch, it is claimed by some Re-
publlcans OF this State that the wholesale
counting out OF Congressman could have
been in Il great measure prevented had the
United States Judges and District Attor-
neys used more yigor in bringing the par
ties violating the ballot law, intlmidating
the United States Supervisors aud Mar
shals, to justice. As believe YOU have
had experience in being counted out, what
Is your opinion on this subject? DO YOU
not think that more vigorous exercise of
the Federal law in relation 10 elections in
the punishment OF such offenders would
have ut least secured three OF the districts
In this state TO the Republican party?"
There is much force in the suggestion,
and / am sure that, under q Republican
Administration, much good can be accom-.
plished in that direction. Under Demo-
cratic Administration it WIS not 10 be ex.
pected that anything would be done or
that any steps would be taken TO maintain
the purity OF elections. | do not think,
therefore, that We could have reasonably
expected any action on the part OF officers
under this Administration which would
have resulted in having any one OF the
Republican candidates for Congress re-
turned elected. In fact very little can be
accomplished by such prosecutions unless
they are supported 10y public opinion.
Whenever We have public sentiment
that will not justify election frauds we
Will be able TO punish those who may
commit them"
