in sight; this at the close Of one Of the most ex
citing railway fights ever carried in this
country Remsey's defeat was severe and de-
cisive but he bore it gamely and fought every
inch of the contested ground and as Judge
DOYLE said tonight. he would have had no
show If he had had all the votes, with the de-
,isions Of the telers as they were. The teIlers
ire not supposed to gauge their decisions on the
legal points and technicalities, but must look
into the matter from the standpoint of ordinary
business methods.
On the vote OF the stockholders for their six
men Ramsey cast no ballot and the meeting was
run Of like clockwork.
Judge Doyle made the significant statement
that he could get a court decision in thirty days
if he wanted il, and as he mas done all along, he
led all who talked with him to believe, not by
direct statement, but by inference. that within
two weeks proceedings OF some sort will be
started against the Gould interests.
After the battle Of the giants had cleared
away Joseph Ramsey, jr. who was standing
al the door. walked TO Mr.. Delano and with
ourstretched hand greeted him.
Allow me to extend my heartiesr congratula
tions and sincerest wishes" he said, with just

Mr.. Delano accepted the profered hand and
replied This IS more than kind OF you, Mr.
Ramsey"
George Gould said. Tt has always been my
policy 10 say nothing. but you may quote me
as saving that I am more than pleased with
this result. It is gratifying 10 get this hearty
Endorsement from the security holders. and 1t

z-bich I can assure you viii he continued in the
'Jrure The policy Of the company will not be
changed IN the least"
Ramsey took his defeat IN q philosophical and
manly manner. saying: I think that with
ssirer treatment in the caucuses might have
made much better showing than I did. In
fsrr I made better showing than the returns
credit me with. There were several large blocks
