He Fails to Convert the Rock Island Mag
nate to His Views.
NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-Mr. Jay Gould
spent the greater part of his Thanksgiving
day in missionary work. He devoted two
hours trying to convert President r. r.
Cable, Of the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific road. to a belief in the big railway
trust by which it is proposed to remedy
all the evils and Decentralization that
abound now in the shape of rate cutting
wars. Mr.. Cable stated plainly the
weakness he saw in Gould's propo-
sitions and pointed out objections
that he believed would be raised by
as rallying cries for fur
Their legislation adverse to the railroads.
He told Mr.. Gould frankly that he was far
from convinced that a trust such as is
proposed, could be operated for any long
time, or even while operated be equal to
the tasks prescribed for it. When the two
magnates parted, however, Mr.. Gould was
reassured by receiving President Cables
promise to give the subject further consid-
Grafton with view to its acceptance and
Endorsement if possible.

here that the platform of the Grand Army

will stand elbow to elbow in defense of
our comrades in the exercise of their
functions, whether we agree on ques-
tions involving these principles or not
But though you wear this badge, and

your organization was founded-frater.

rades, as this country shall remain faith
full to the principles for which we fought,
so long shall the right Of every American
citizen be respected before the law. And
the comrade who can not stand upon this
platform is entitled to our profound SYM
patty, for he has read wrong the lessons
of the Grand Army Of the Republic"

that the ones who had joined the organ
