Why Harrison Is Interested.

Ten State elections are held next

the President evlnced any particular

and that the moro respectable Repub-
licaus refuse 10 accept the Reputation

Gen. Mahsne has promised that with
the Fed. raj Offices and money contrl-

that victory there will produce Ma.

The campaign Is ono not against SIN

Great Railroad Consolidation.
IN. o, City Itenl.l

OF the Union Pacific, Chicago and
and other great railroad
lines by the Vauderbilts discloses an
immense system, the main tracksge Of
which extends from ocean to ocean. It
is one of the greatest concentration Of
railroads under one management In
the world, embracing with its branches
feeders and spurs more than "a, 600
miles Of track. This combination
has been In contemplation for Soma
