Last night the Ohio and Pennsylvania op-
orators conferred, but, it is said, only got

the form of demand, that no differentills
be allowed to longer exist between the two
states. This proposition was at first bitter
long wrangle they are sad to have eX-
basis of a 4-cent differential in place of the
existing cents difference. But even this,
it IS said, was unsatisfactory to II. L..
Chapman of Ohio. In fact, it is stated that
the former candidate for governor became
pronounced in his oisapprovaI of the
compromise that it was agreed to prac-
tically ignore him in reaching a settlement.
MIR. Chapman, when asked VIII ther the
report were true said: IF the conference
has decided to disregard me or to throw me
out, am unaware of the fact; but we have
OF yet reached an agreement on the differ
