GOVERNORS OF NEW YORK.
Control of State Has Been Equally
 Divided Between Parties.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 The republicans and democrats since the formation of the republican party have each had control of the governor ship of the state of New York for 9 years, the terms of Governors Robinson, Cornell. Cleveland, Hill and Flower be- ing for three yesrs. The election this fall will break the tie between the two great political psrties. The republicans have elected nlne governors, as follows. John A. King. Edwin D. Morgan, Reu- ben 2. Fenton, Jonn A Dix, Alonzo B. Cornell Levi ?, Merton. Frank s. Black, Theodore Roosevelt and Benjamin B. Odeli. Jr. Morgan and Fenton served two terms. No republican governor has been reelected since Fenton, in 1866. It remains for Governor Odell to break the record. The republican governors, with the exception of Fentons and Roosevelt, were all elected by big majorities. Black heads the list with 2120o0. Morton had 146,O00 and Odell 111O0O. Dix was defeated for reelection in 1874 Morgan ran for governor again in 1S76 but was defeated.
 The democrats during this period have elected seven governors, viz: Horatio Seymour. John T. Hoffman, Samuel Tilden, Lucius Robinson, Grover Cleve- land. David B. Hill and Roswell P Flow CT. Hoffman and Hill were both re- elected Seymour and Robinson were de- feated for reelection. Cleveland had the largest majority. 1s2,OOO. Hill had a close call in 1885, getting in by 110O0 plurality. He ran again for governor in 1894 and was showed under by 146,0OO adverse ma jority.
 Each party has reelected two govern ors while two democI ats were defeated at the polls for reelection and only enc republican. It will thus be seen that Governor Odel's chances for reelection are good this fall when viewed from a historical standpoint.
 Of the democratic governors only Cleveland and Hill survive while of the republicans Cornell, Morton, Black, Roose- welt and Odell are living. Governors Cleveland and Roosevelt became presi- dents of the United States. Governor Morton was yice-president before he became governor. Governor Dix was democratic United States senator Before he became a republican governor. Gov ernor Dix was a democratic United States senator before he became a re- publican governor. Governors Morton, Fenton end Hill became United States senator's the latter holding for a while both offices at the same time.

COMMISSIONERS.
1t is Now lntmated That They viii
Make the Ruling Cost the
Shippers by a Different
Procedure.

Discussing the recent switching

sion the Atlanta Constitution of yes
terday, says:
Railroad men are greatly dissatis-
fed with the change made in rule 25
oy the railroad commission, as they
mold that by it an injustice has been
done the ioads in allowing them TO
collect only a switching charge for
what they consider transportation
movement
However, it is the opinion o. a num-
per of Atlanta railroad men that the
shippers on whose complaint the
change was ma, e, will receive little
benefit from IT, If the opinions of the
railroad men are correct, the shippers
may have cause to regret tnat they
were instrumental in having the rule
changed.
1t seems that switching movements
neld a different pace under the law
from transportation movements in the
respect that roads are not obliged to
make them unless they want to, waile
all common carriers are compelled to
receive and forward all traffic deliy-
cred to them for transportation
Some time ago, it is understood,
one of the roads entering Atlanta, an
ticipating the action of the commits
sion, asked rs counsel to investigate
the matter, and the opinion rendered
was, tnat If the commission declared
the movements in question switching
movements, the the roads could not
be forced to make them.
The roads claim that where ship
ments originated and terminated with
in the switching limits, shippers were
quite fortunate in getting them moved
Tor SIS per car, as it woula cost them
much more to have tner traffic dray
ed. The roads claimed the right to
apply the minimum tariff, but did not
do so, making uniform charge of $5
per car Tor sucn movements
Now it is understood that the pres
icy of the roads will be to decline al
together to move shipments within
the switching limits, and shippers will
in consequence have to nave tneir
goods drayed.
Tne matter may come to be one of
great interest and may eventually ter
inmate in the courts. If it does, the
railroad men express themselves as
being sure of their ability to win out"
