Reform policy WAS made to yield to
the dictation of the radical Senate eau
Gus which declared the Potter bill should
become law. Sothe Potter bill viii be-
come a law. The Potter act violates in
all its terms the form of railroad legis-
lation which the Reform party pledged
to the people. IT is, SO far as it creates
control over the railroads, unconscion-
able, impracticable, a nuisance and a
fraud.
The NeaUs will not be party to any
of the tricks OF any of the demagogues
who propose to run Potter into Sawyer's s
seat IN Congress, by praising OF comte-
nancing the 1nonstrosities Of the asinine
Potter railroad law.


From the News, of May 21st.


It is the position, early assumed by
the Neacs, that the rates fixed by the
Potter act are such that the railways
cannot run their trains under it without
loss-and therefore, the Potter act does
not come within the scope of the admit
ted power Of the State to regulate rail
| roads and limit tolls and rates of trans
portation. 1his IS also the opinion of DR..
Wioht, and of the best thinkers on the
subject.
