Mir. Henderson, is This Rate Compromise a Sample of the Peace and Confidence Which You Assert Your Election Will Bring About for Alabama?

 Will manufacturers, merchants and all other classes of shippers on the lines of the railway allowed charge the higher rates be peaceful conened or prosperous while their competitors located other lines are ship ping goods at rates which are 35 to 75 per lower?
 Can there be concerted action by the railroads for the development of Alabama long this injustice ex ists?
 Can there be an cessation of the agitation which you depore when the regulation of in Alabama will have to be taken up anew and again the very beginning?
 Will the fact that the clock in Alabama has been set back by you nearly years make the people quit talk Ing?
