| Railroads Give In.
Railroads terminating in the Twin
Cities have agreed to honor for return
| passage the tickets of the delegates and
| others attending the convention from
Minneapolis. The original agreement
was from the 10th of the month, but in
view of all circumstances the railroads
have decided to honor them two days
earlier than the time agreed. This is
| the result of a lively complaint made by
| the visitors who objected to being held
here two or three days for the good of
| Minneapolis. The original agreement
| was made by the railroads to hold visit
ors here until Friday, whenever the con-
vention might adjourn. But the protest
from people who wanted to get out of
| town was too heavy for them. Wednes-
day and Thursday mornings they pub
lished the announcement that tickets
would be honored henceforth.
