in any event the decree of court announc-
ed ON the Sth instant will not be set aside

another argument. Should there be such
a reversal of the courts position. it will

UNION PACIFIC.
SAN Francisco, Oct. 16.-United States
Senator Thurston, counsel for the Union
Pacific, is in the city, and was asked
what he thought OF the report that the
Wander bilts were endeavoring to secure
control OF the Union Pacific. cit is quite
apparent to the most casual observer"
said Mr.. Thurstop, "that the Vanderbilts
must be having say in the Union Pacihc
when such men as Chauncey nj. Depew
and Marvin Hughitt are two OF the COM
mittee of five who are to rsorganize the
roads present indebtedness. l cannot
swear that the Vanderbilts are going 10
take the Union Pacific, but would not
be surprised il the Vanderbilts should
sooner or later be found to have an ipfiu-
entail voice in the proper ty's direct man
agement.
"It is generally understood that the
Wander bilts have a strong influence In
the Chicago & Northwestern. The ATeses
of Boston, and the Goulds, billions and
Wander bilts Of New York, probably own
the bulk of the Union Pacific stock and
many of its bonds. i do not know what
derstanding these people have among
themselves, but 1t may or may not be sig
niticapt that Marvin Hughitt, president
of the Northwestern, is a Unioi| Pacific
director, and that the two roads are now
being operated under a close traffic agree
ment.

The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1895-10-01

DEMOCRATS in this county are not very
hopeful of success this year, but they are
determined to make an effort, and on Sat.
urday placed a ticket in the field. For
assembly they named William R. Lippin-
colt, of Mount Laurel, and DR.. Abram E
Conrow, of Chester.
The name of Mr.. Lippincott was forced
upon the ticket after that gentleman had
stated that he would not accept the nomi
nation and in face of the announcement ofa
delegate who, by authority of the gentle
man interested, said he would not take a
place on the ticket. But the bosses would
not have 1t 30. They saw the necessity of
putting strong man on the ticket, not
because they had any hopes of electing
him, but to aid in keeping the vote up
for the Gubernatorisl candidate. Mr..
Lippincott is good man, but he has not
a particle Of show for election this year,
and he will be very foolish if he enters
this contest merely to be used as a cats
paw.
In DIR. Abram E. Conrow the Demo-
Gratis have no element of strength. 1t is
the same old Abe, on the same old plat
form. He spoke the truth when he said
he did his best last year. Then, after an
untiring canvass, in which he secured
the county from one end to the other,
Abrain came out just 1859 votes behind.
If he 'did his best" last year, what in the
world does he expect to do this year
Our idea is that he will get there in just
about the same way.
Budd R. Hancock, candidate for auditor.
is a young man, possibly we'll suited for
the position, but with no special qualifi-
cations for the office. He is farmer.
with business that Is paying him well,
and does not need the Office.
The candidate for coroner, James c.
West, is a young law student That's
about all anybody could say for him at
the convention.
The ticket is not one that need cause
special dismay. 1t starts out rather un-
favorably. One of its chief candidates,
If he accepts, will do SO against his good
judgment, and will start in the race with
mill stone-in the person of Abram E.
Conrow-around his neck. while the tail
end of the ticket has no strength what
ever. The nominations, the convention
and the organization of the county ex-
ecutiye committee were all controlled by
the i-Hendrickson faction; but, as
Prosecutor Budd, in the state convention,
said the party in this county was in har
mony for the first time in thirty years,
the point of control will not be of any
Importance.
