 His Defeat in q Philosophical Man

 Says, With Fairer Treatment fin the
 Caucuses-NOt Sorry He Entered
 Upon the Fight.
 Toledo, O., Oct. 11.-Joseph Ramsey, jr., failed completely to-day in his eff fort to wrest control of the Wabash system from. George Gould. Not only was he utterly defeated in all he hn- dertook, but he was forced from the directory of the road, and now has nothing whatever to do with its man agement in any manner. He put up a hard fight, and struggled gamely to the last, but was so hopelessly in the minority that he never had chance. He filed protests all through the meet ing, not with the reason as he after ward declared: of being an obstruc- tionist, but because he desired to lay the foundation for any contest that might hereafter be made. He took his defeat in a philosophical manner, say ing, T think that with fairer treat ment in the caucuses I might have made much better showing than did. In fact, l made a better showing than the returns credit me with.
 'there are several large blocks of stocks and bonds that should have been voted for me, but were given to Mir. Gould by the election inspectors. I believe that any court in the land would declare that those votes are properly mine. have have filed pro- tests in all of those cases, not because l desired to be an obstructionist, but because I desired to prepare for any thing that might come hereafter. l have not determined whether or not to commence a contest, but nothing of that kind will be attempted by me inn mediately. I am not the kind of a man to employ destructive or obstruct- i've tactics wantonly. I will say how ever that the meeting that has just closed is, not the end of this affair by a good deaf, but cannot say just now what the next step will be.
 There is one thing more that I wish to say, and that is that ann, not sor- Ty Lutt < GlIGEIEu upUll IIt4S 11Shbs have not regretted 1t at any time since I embarked upon it, The only thing I regret is that I was not elected
 MT. Gould was highly pleased at the outcome.
 "I am, of course, very glad that the matter has terminated as it has, he declared. There was not moment, in fact, when any other termination was possible. For all that, however, I feel happy that my administration of the road has received the emphatic endorsement that it has. Further than that I can say nothing. The result says morethan I can, and I think it is about plain enough for anybody to comprehend"
 When asked if he expected the election to be contested, MT. Gould replied:
 "Of course, do not know what other people may attempt, but I hardly ex- peet anything of the kind. I reilly do not see where it will benefit them, for l am sure our proceedings have been perfectly legal throughout. I certainly desired to have them that way and we have roomful of lawyers here who say we have done things in 6 proper manner"
 Just before the announcemeGI of the final vote electing the directors was announced Judge Doyle, speaking for MT. Ramsey, filed 8 formal protest against as election as directors of the Wabash road of Russell Sage and George J. Gould, on the ground that they are directors of the Missouri Pa cific road, which is competing line of the Wabash. His protest was placed on file.
