HON. FRANK c. GOUDY ISSUES
AN ADDRESS TO REPUBLICANS

ITO the Republicans of Colorado:
Now that the senatorial contest be-
for the Fourteenth General Assembly is
ended and the Legislature has settled
down to other business. 1t is but fair
to my friends that | state my position
in this controversy.
"One of my opponents is quoted as
saying that either Senator Teller or he
would be elected; that no one else was
in the contest. 1t has turned out to
be Teller. / do not believe that SEN
ator Teller's so-called election is legal.
but that is a question for the United
States Senate to decide.
II was a candidate before this as
sembly in good faith. and II my cleo
ton or the election of any other Re-
publican could have been brought
about in an honorable way and without
disrupting our party and endangering
the success of the state administration
l would have been very glad to have
seen a Republican chosen.
Much criticism has been INDUCED
in by certain factional parties and GER
tain factional papers because the eleven
| Arapahoe Republicans were not seated,
| but there never was a time when they
could have been seated without bring
ing about the unseating of the eleven
Republican senators and thereby max
ing solid Democratic Senate, with
power to perpetuate itself as long as
the Democrats have holdover senators.
If my friends in the Legislature had
recognized the Haggott Senate. about
the validity of which body there was
great and serious doubt. the result
would have been that all legislation
and all appropriations for state pur-
poses would have been held invalid and
the governor would have been COM
PEELED to call an extra session, which
would have resulted in putting upon
the people an additional great burden,
as this would have cost the people at
least $50 900 in addition to the expense
of the regular session. This neither my
friends nor | could afford to counte-
nance or be party to. Personally |
would like to have seen the Republican
Arapahoe representatives seated land
contributed as literally as | could tow
ards defraying the expense of their
contest, all insinuations and misrepre-
sentations to the contrary notwith-
standing). many of them are friends of
mine who have stood with me for de-
cent and orderly politics and assisted
in bringing about the adoption of rules
providing for open and fair primaries
and the doing away OF 'bossism' in Re
publican politics, but the seating OF the
eleven Arapahoes, as | have hereto
fore stated, would have resulted In
great wrong and irreparable injury to
the eleven Republican senators. by
causing them to be Immediately un-
seated by Democratic Senate.

It was referred to the committee on
finance.
AS sign that the war was over the
speaker ordered the gallery doors to
be opened and the House then proceed
ed With the regular order OF business.
which was the roll call for bills.
shortly after the Democratic branch
OF The Senate was called to order Lieu
tenant Governor Haggott and the nine
Republican senators entered the cham
Der. They came in without ceremony
ana took their seats. The lieutenant
governor sought the platform. where
President Adams greeted him with u
hearty handclasp. The gavel was de-
livered to him. and the assemblage was
raped to order.
BY this action the two rival branch
es of the Senate became united and
the factional war was closed.
A few minutes later a motion to ad-
journ until Thursday afternoon at 2
O'Clock was made and carried.
The recognition OF the Senate by the
House was formally made by receiving
the appropriation bill passed by the
upper house. to pay some of the ex-
penses OF the Legislature, amounting
TO about $4,000.
Inc certificate OF election OF Henry
NJ Teller has not been presented to
Governor Peabody for his signature,
II is to be especially engrossed upon n
sheet OF parchment in ornate style be-
fore the signatures are asked for.
Though the governor has not declared
whether he will sign 1t. there seems TO
be no ground for doubt that he will
do so. as attorneys seem to agree that
Teller's right to II, under all the cir
cumstances, is incontestable.

RAILROADS.
REDUCE PAY ROLL
Western Roads Will Lay Off EN-
ployes Wherever They Can e
Spared.
Ten Per Cent Saving to Be Effc>tSd
Without Cutting
Wages.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-"The railways
are about to present a united front to
the labor unions. Already there is a
move on foot to reduce the pay rolls
by 10 per cent
Such was the statement made by an
executive of a leading western line.
The plan at present does not contem-
plate a reduction in wages, 1T was
said, but the working forcesis to be re-
duced in every possible way. 4
:. That an agreement has been entered
into by the big railway systems was
not denied. While there are no for
NAL associations, the understanding is
said to be definite and binding. The
primary object is to present a solid
front to the labor unions, so that en-
ployes of one road cannot use another
road as a club to bring their own road
into submission.
Word has gone forth on all large
railroads that retrenchments are to be
made in certain lines where the COM
panies can most easily reduce forces,
such as car shops, repair shops, main
tenance of way department, and i'm
prOvement corps.
The passenger train service is to be
rearranged SO as to get along with as
few trains as possible. In conformity
with this policy, a number Of Chicago
roads have rearranged their train
schedules during the last few days.
The results will be much the same
as if wages were cut, as it matters lit
tie whether a railroad with a wage list
of S1,000,000 lays off one-tenth of its
men, resulting in a saving Of 100000
or makes reduction of that amount
in the wages of it's men and allows all
of them to remain.
But the men who are retained in
service will have to do more work.

Union Pacific Cuts Off Trains an<
Lays off Several Crews

Omaha, Neb., Oct. 24.-In spite of
the positive assurance a few days ag1
that economies in the repair and op-
Grating departments of the Union Pa
ciic railroad would be only those GUS
tomary in the fall, the officials of the
road have decided on a comprehensive
policy Of retrenchment. This IS the
information given by one who attend
ed the meetings Of superintendent at
the head quarters last week. It is Of
fered in explanation Of the trip over
the system of three superintendents,
Deuel., Buckingham and McKeen Of
the Nebraska division, the transporter
ton and the motive power depart
ments respectively.
In addition to the. discharge Of men
the first saving Of money by discon-
tinuing trains will be between Omaha
and North Platte Sunday when trains
9 and 10. requiring three crews, will
be taken off. The cost of maintain
ence Of these trains is about $1,000 a
month. Other discontinuances| on
both the main line and the branches
are predicted, soon as the superin-
tendents find departments where men
and equipment can best be:spared

stated that the one tie between the
two roads is the common interest Of
j. j. Hill in Erie and Northern Sc
curities. There appears to be no
ground for the reiterated statement
that an actual alliance between the
systems will be made. Erie has at
present exactly the same relationship
with Burlington that it has with the
Milwaukee, Northwestern and other
lines at Chicago, and little change is
contemplated in this relationship.
1t is natural to suppose, however,
that when the Hill fleet is in full oper-
alton on the Pacific certain ad-
ditional amount of thru business will
accrue to Burlington and the other
Hill lines both from Erie, Grand
Trunk and all other trunk lines. This
is the purpose of Mr.. Hill, and his CAL
culations are generally fairly correct
on matters Of transportation: He
curities lines and the big ships the line
Of least resistance for traffic flowing
from the manufacturing centers of the
eastern states to the orient. He be-
lieves that he will succeed, and if his
belief is correct additional traffic will
certainly follow that line. - -
From the orient eastbound the same
advantage will apply. In competition
with the route from the orient via
Suez the Hill ships will have the ad-
vantage after July 1, 1904, of certain
rebates notably one of Is cent per
pound on Manila hemp imported in
American ships. Under the American
flag these rebates will be collected by
Mr.. Hill but not by. the British ships
that now control the imports Of hemp
from the Philippines. The rates via
Hill ships and Hill railroads must be
made to meet the all-water route via
'Suez. =" Mr.. Hilr believes he can do
this and make the rates pay. On the
matter of rates there are few critics
who will differ from Mr.. Hill until the
experiment is completed. * #53s&

PRESSURE ON STICKNEY. ?
Officials of Minneapolis-Omala Lines
Hold q Meeting.

49,. f1Olu Il. McctlHS.
Chicago, Oct. 24.-The executive Of
ficials of the Minneapolis-Oma lines
held meeting yesterday in the Of
fees of j. c.. Stubs and it was decided
that efforts would better be made to
induce President Stickney to modify
the proportional rate Of 8. cents to the
Mississippi river and IA cents to Chi
cago and Minneapolis from Omaha
and with this object in view President
George B. Harris of the Burlington,
left st. Paul to confer with President
Stickney. -.
AS the result of this conference it is
expected that the roads interested will
be able to induce the Great Western
to change it's determination. Unless
the Great Westerns rates are modified
so as not to lower other rates 1t IS
probable that serious results will fol-
low and it is the wish of the railroads
that this be avoided if possible.
