encouraging for the republican ticket The
election OF the entire ticket is enthusiastic
cally claimed by the republicans and is

independents are equally certain of the cleo
tion Of their candidate for county attorney,

ney is very popular in the county and ciuy,

Excessive Freight RITES.

The following communication, signed
by IA number of the members of the
Commercial Exchange Of Philadelphia.
was recently forwarded % the President
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad Company:
The undersigned members of the
Commercial Exchange of Philadelphia
and receivers of grain at this port, re-
spectfully submit that the rates of freight
charged on the grain from points on the
line Of Pennsylvania railroad and its
connections, from numerous places in
the State Of Pennsylvania, to Philadcl-
phIa, are excessive and quite out OF pro-
portion to the rates Of freight charged by
the Pennsylvania railroad from far dis
tant points to Philadelphia From nu-
merouS places within POO miles cor les
Of Philadelphia YOU charge eight cents
per busLel or over on wheat to Philadel-
phia, whereas the netratc you are charg-
ing on grain from Chicago To Philadei-
phia-distanJ, say Sol mies-is only
twelve cents per bushei.
Immense stocks of grain are held at
this time 10y farmers throughout this
state, and We believe that prompt and
equitable reduction in rates on grain
from interior of state to Philadelphia
would undoubtedly result in resump-
uon OF the movement of wheat, which
for some time has practically ceased
from many points naturally tributary to
Philadelphia
