made a speech, in the course of which,
after praising the tactical knowledge

has taken her place in the world.

The Story Credited.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE Post says:
Although authoritative announce
ment of such a transaction is withheld
the reported railroad deal connecting
James J. Hill, of the Great Northern
railway and prominent Chicago men
with the reorganization of the BaIti-
more & Ohio railroad is credited in
some quarters. Norman B. Ream was
the only interested representative in the
city, as the members of the conference
held yesterday had left Chicago late
last night.
Mr.. Ream did not venture to affirm.
the current reports, but man in close
touch with him said to an interviewer.
He is head over heels in railroad
matters It may be accepted that there
Is something in the reports or Mr. Ream

road said that Mr.. Hill would be identi-

What J. J. Hill Said.
St. Paul, Mimi, Sept 17.-President
J. J. Hill of the Great Northern. railroad
returned from Chicago today and made
this statement to an Associated Press
representative regarding the Baltimore
& Ohio story:
Any connection which I may have
with the Baltimore & Ohio is simDlv
for the purpose OF putting that road on
its feet and making it what it~was at
one time-one of the most important
roads in the country. Recently it has
failed to such an extent that it was an
incubus. Any intention I may have with
regard to the B. & o. has no connection
with the Great Northern. Neither has
the Great Northern or myself any con
nection with any railway between St.
Paul and Chicago and Furthermore.
neither did I expect to have any such
connection. Some one who is respOn-
Eible for statements to the contrary has
an imagination that it is altogether too
vivid"
Further than this Mr. Hill had moth
ang to say regarding the matter.

BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE,

A writer in the Southwest Wis
consin assumes that the letter in the
TRIBUNE of June 30th, signed "citi-
zen, "..was written by the senior edi-
tor of this paper, and upon that as
sumption proceeds to belabor the
said editor. The author of the screed
in the Linden paper, from long ac-
quaintance and frequent collisions
with the senior Of the TRIBUNE,
should have known :hat whatever
his. faults, shirking the responsibility
of his opinions is not one of them.
While il seems scarcely necessary,
we,will say for the Information of
the few who may be deceived, that
the. e..letter was sent to the office by
the writer. without consultation be-
tween him and the editor. Its sub
stance and purpose, however, were
heartily approved, and given pub
licity with great satisfaction, and for
Our assailant in the Linden Bah
cock organ might as well have
signed his name, or headed it with
a picture of the Dodgeville Bank,
His identity would have beer no
more readily discovered. His as
sault upon the TRIBUNE's senior con-
sists of n grossly false and ridiculous
statement of public positions held
by the said editor and his relations,
extending back for about 40 years.
To illustrate the character OF his rep
reservations we will quote few.
He says of the editor:
"He held the office of Internal Rev
enue Collector for six years at ST.
10000 per year, S9,600m."
This is false to the extent of 5000.
The editor was deputy collector for
about 3 years, on salary of 81 400,
making "A total of $4,000, out
OF which he paid S400 per year eX-
penses. This Office he received with
condition that he support certain
candidate for nomination for CON
gress.
"He was also clerk for Indian
agents for two years at $500 per
year, $4,000
This il false TO the extent OF S2,- |
100. The editor was clerk of Indian !
agency nine months ut 800 per |
month. After paying expense Of go
ing and coming, for himself and |
family, he was loser by the move.
"He was also in the Office Of the |
Sec'y OF State for one year at sal
airy Of, 81 200"
The, net falsehood OF this is $500. |
The editor was temporary clerk in
the Secretary's Office for three
only.
"He was also Adjutant in the |
Grand Army one year with salary |
of $1,000"
Positions in the Grand Army are
no more political than running a
bank or practicing law in Dodge
vile, but it was proper to bring it in
the other misrepresentation
to serve the weak cause Of the "organ
grinder" Deduct these items from
his string Of falsehoods, and we find
that Babcock's Iowa county Boss
lies statistically to the amount Of
80, ,490, in an aggregate Of 1880, prov
ing him to be liar by over rs per
cent. While be was about 1t why
did not this statistical falsIfier com
pute the salary Of the editor for be-
tween three and four years that he
was in the public service as soldier
at sl3 per month?
Citizen" speaks for himself in this
paper, and his remarks are those Of
an honest, fearless man, such as the |
people need to hear.
