Reports of an oner Made to ingalls,
of the Big Four.

| NEW YORK, Aug Silt was said in
Wall Street today that the presidency OF
the Southern Pacific Railroad would be CT
fered to President NJ L. ingalls,. OF the
Big Four This came as shock to those
who had believed Mr.. Fl. E. Huntington or
Mr. Charles H. Tweed would be put in SUI
preme command. No one could be found
who would positively confirm or deny the
| ingalls, rumor, but it was declared with
some show OF authority that neither Mr..
Huntington nor Mr. Tweed would succeed
the late C. P Huntington. These two.
however. are provided for in the latest
deal reported. Each is to retain his pres

president and active manager in the West
and Mr.. Tweed as second vice president
and confidential attorney In this city.
The selection OF Mr., Ingalls, would be

by October 1. when navigation closes.
Their numbers are variously estimated at

enough money to land them there. Now

promise; he must rot attempt to attract
to his standard people who are not in sym

on the natural growth of the movement

respect for the character. of its advocates.
Thus he will attract to himself only those

How far such methods will succeed in

honesty, and when men begin to compro.

they can afford to tell the truth. or have

was due to the incorporating spirit OF
those who were in it. An individual can,
generally speaking do twice as much by
frankly standing up for his principles as
by concealing part of his convictions in
order to have the rest accepted. The end
usually is, in that case, failure to do any
thing. When a man admits that half loaf
is as good as the whole. in his opinion. the
world is apt to think that he can get along

his third term as the Representative of
the Second district, which is Democratic ON
everything but Congressman. His great
personal popularity. aided by the power of
a well organized machine, has enabled the
Republicans to keep the Democrats from
controlling this district in Congressional
campaigns. But it is claimed that the
Democrats this year have nominated
candidate in the person of the Hon. John
ME- Feeley who is even more popular in
the district than Lcrimer. Feeley has long
been prominent in Chicago politics. and it
is asserted that with the proper assistance
from the National Congressional Commit

Gratis in the Second district that the Hon.
