To the Editor OF Tho Tribune.
Sir: The tyrannical and high-handed course pur-
sued by the Chesterheldian % Mayor OF New

lice Commissioners and Chief McCullagh induces
me TO express the hope that Messrs. Plat. Qugg Sc
Co are at last ashamed Of tho part they took In
placing New-York under Tammany rule. When one
reflects that but for the partisan and shortsighted
action Of the machine wing Of the Republican
marty under the dctaton OF its Tioga County
boss our city would be governed by an IN.
telligent and highly accomplished gentleman. ana

clusion becomes inevitable that the sooner vcnal

next to the Baltimore and Ohio offices.
Today Mr. l.. S. Allen. the local man
ager, was busy experimenting the ar
rangement of the rooms. which are fin
ished in blue. gold and white. Mr.. Allen
believes the present location, being more
central will be better for business.
The Baltimore and Ohio Company,
through its division passenger agent. Mr..
s b. Hege. was the pioneer in the West
ward Ho'' movement of the local railroad
offices. In November, 1sa'. that compa-
nv removed its Offices from Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, TO the
present location. Fifteenth street and
New York avenue, where ten years
lease was secured. 1t was soon follow
ed by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
then by the Southern. Now the Sea
board Air Line has Joined the move
ment and the result is that the offices oi
four leading railroads are in "A bunch in
the most admirable location. The Penn
syivania offices are at Fifteenth and Il
streets. and the Southern on FiIteehth
street. next To the Baltimore and Ohio
offices. the Seaboard Air Line being just
around the corner.
Mr.. lego said today. I'VE are much
pleased with the change and have had
sufficient time 10 discover that 1t was q
good move which brought us here. In
creased business has resulted and the
railroad offices are surrounded by a clus-
