president $4,000 men, and 10000 of them
are Democrats, and every man of them
would vote for me. Why? Because ever
since my presidency the Office door has
been open always to any employee of the
road-the yardman, the conductor, the
brakeman or switchman. If the Wander
bilt's were present and L was told
that a committee of working men
had something to say the Wander
are admitted. What they want would
be granted, denied or compromised. In
other roads the subordinate complains of
his next superior, and his complaint is
hung on nail, and that is the end of it.
The charge is that as a railroad man / am
not to be trusted. That having worked
for salary for railroad companies, for
do not own the one-thousandth part or Der
cent of the properties | manage, | have
become so imbued with devotion for them
that when quit their work and the salary
ceases | will continue to favor them in
every possible way to the detrlment of
the public service. That is when | leave
the service and enlist in the public ser
vice | will continue to render them service
for which | am not bound to the
injury of the service for which | am paid.
That is the charge. 1t means that the
railroad men of the country are to be dis
franchised; that to be a railroad man is to
be bar to the public service: that rail-
road men are not to be trusted, and they
are to be denied the right belonging to
the humblest citizen in the land.
Is not the brakeman on the road engaged
in as honorable work as the farmer in the
field? Is not the machinist in the railroad
shop as worthy as the machinist in any
other shop? Is not the railroad official as
deserving and trustworthy as the
man in any other position requiring
equal honesty and equal intelligence?
Representative of five of the western
states came to me this evening just after
the convention. They told me that my
would be a very serious thing
to the Republican party in Kansas, Iowa,
Nebraska and Wisconsin. No, not Mime
sofa. Minnesota repudiated it. They
told me it would permanently en-
danger the Republican party in
those states perhaps disrupt it because
l was a railroad man. That it would
identify the Republican party with rail
road monopolists Some of them were
very sorry chat that was so. They thought
il was revival of the same prejudices
that young witches branded Baptists and
drowned Quakers. They said it was a SEN
timent to be stamped out, but that five
months of campaign was not time
enough to do it in. l said very well, will

PROPOSED COLONY OF FOREIGNERS

PROPOSEO COIONY OF fOHElGNERo.
SAN MARCIAL, N. NJ, June 22.-It is now
known that the immigration department
of the Santa Fe railroad have on foot a
scheme which purposes to create a colony
some place in the Rio Grande valley of
foreigners. Col. 4. II. GriersOn, special
agent of the Santa Fe immigration de-
partment, has been in the city for the past
couple of days in the interest of this col
onization enterprise. He has just returned
from trip to Europe, where he has made
the necessary arrangements for the people
who are to form the colony. II is under
stood that about 5000 Belgians have been
secured, who will leave for New Mexico as
soon as arrangements can be completed
for purchasing the land necessary for the
colony Colonel Grierson was today
visited by reporter and interviewed on
the subject
"Have any definite arrangements been
completed as TO the site and location of
tlis proposed coIonyf" asked the reporter.
The colonel replied
None We are desirous OF locating the
colony in the Rio Grande valley, but as
yet no particular point has been decided
upon"
"Is it probable that the site may be Sc
lected near this city,"
Such thing is possible" replied the
colonel. Eve find plenty Of good availa-
bic land in this vicinity, but the whole
matter depends entirely upon such induce
ments a. the people here may offer. We
propose to locate the colony where the best
inducements are offered"
He said that the people in Europe whom
he had interviewed on the subject were
anxious TO come. He also stated that II
the first colony proved success others
would be started, and that il would only
be a matter of a very short time before the
whole Rio Grande valley would be thickly
settled The scheme is one that viii be
watched with interest by the people gener-
ally who are interested in the Rio Grande
Valley and the inhabitants OF this city and
vicinity will put forth their best induce
ments 10 have the colony located near here.

POLITICS IN ARKANSAS,

HELENA, Ark, June 22-The Political
outlook OF this county (Phillips) presents
a very complicated state Of affairs. The
complications have arisen in the Demo
cratic ranks, and bid fair TO split the
forces so that it will take many years for
the breaches to be healed. The cause of
the difficulty is the formation of another
wing of the Democracy at Poplar Grove
yesterday. This new departure styles it
self the True Democrats of 1884" and
has for platform q fair divide. Since
this split in the party, which took place in
1884, there has been considerable hard feel
ing existing between the leaders and the
followers Of the then opposing factions
since.
In 1886 the successful wing of the
Democfatic party conciliated the
Republicans by fusing with
them and giving them the offices
Of coroner, one member of the legislature
and county treasurer. This year, at their
county convention, the Democrats offered
the same proposition. but up to date the
Republicans have not signifed any inten-
tion of either accepting or refusing their
proposition. The new wing. however. are
disposed TO make n more liberal distribu-
tion of the Offices. and in addition to the
offices previously offered by the other wing
tney oHer an auultlohal member OF the
legislature, circuit clerkship and state
senator. The situation is being viewed
with some anxiety by some of the polite
ians, as they do not know whether the Re
publicans will accept either proposition or
put out whole ticket of their own. The
new ticket has not yet developed a very
formidable appearance. The gentleman
chosen TO act in the capacity of chairman
or their executive committee has no inten-
