That Governor Hughes, of New
York, is to be Squarely attacked by
the third-term forces, and charged
with playing the game Of the cor
pOratiOnS while assuming to be the
particular friend of popular interests,
has been developed in connection
with the sudden growth Of demand
that the President become a caadi-

1t is charged that Governor
Hughes veto of the 2-cent fare bill
in New York last winter was wrong,
untimely, and a huge service to the
railroads, because it gave them a
weapon with which to fight like bills
in other States, and in several cases
to kill them.
