DEMOCRATIC VICTORY IN WEST VIRGINIA OHIO. BARNES’ MAJORITY ESTIMATED AT SIX TO SEVEN THOUSAND—A REVIEW OF THE FIELD AND ANALYSIS OF THE RESULT—RELIEF FROM AN IMMENSE BEPUBLICAN SCARE. . Coxvxsvs, Oct, 11, 1876. Although the returns are not as yet complete, severay Of the smalier and remote countics being still unheard from, the footings of net republican gains show the election of Barnes, for Secretary of State, by a majority Fanging from 6,000 to possibly as high as 7,000, ‘This estimate is based on the gures of the Western Associated Pross, and are admitted to be so far correct that even the most recalcitrant democrat conceds Barnes’ election by 3,500. REPUBLICAN Joy, A deep and quiet joy pervades republican circles oyer this complexion of the returns, which is much different from what it was at two o’clock this morning, when Hayes’ majority of last year was so badly demolished and Barnes’ prospects of defeat were so promising that the republicans seriously contem- Plated the ruse de guerre of substituting the returns for Supreme Court Judge for those for Secretary of State, and going before the country with the vote for Boynton, who, it was calculated, would bo elected toa Certainty, whatever might be the fate of Barnes, But, happily for theso gentiomen, the returns to-night have done away with tho necessity for this strategy, al- though in sending out the estimates of victory tho claim is made that the republican Stato ticket, oxclu- sivo of Barnes, is elected by 8,000 or 9,000. A REVIEW O¥ THE FIELD, It-18 comparatively casy at this hoyr to review the field ond account for the result of yesterday’s battle. Obiotrom the first had the advantage of Governor Hayes’ nomination for tho Presidency, and it took the full force and evory device of a most thorough democratic organization to make this advantage count for so little as it nas done, Barnes’ majority at best being only asmall percentage gain upon Hayes’ majority last year, when 1t is considorod that tho total ‘vote polled has been something like 600,000. An analysis ef the contest exhibits the following SALIENT FEATURES :— The democrats had inthe first place to overcome Hayes’ majority of 5,500-in 1874. On this point issue ‘was joined between the two parties. The leading feature of the democratic plan was to subvert the German vote and take it away {rom Barnes, This. was only partially successful, It was Successful enough to show its ingenuity, but it failed of its full expected effect. Looking aot the returos we find that the Shree counties of Hamilton, embracing Cin- sinnat}, Cuyahoga embracing Cleveland, and Franklin embracing Columbus, 8 just 6,600 of a democratic gain, or barely enough to neu- tralhze Hayes’ majority. The democrate confidontly expected a gain of at Teast 10,000 in the three cities mentioned. They went Into the contest with their calculation in error to the extent of over 4,000 votes. By the operation of a sen- timent which affected the country the roverse of the city Barnes gained in the rural districts, and with Hayes’ majority only balanced by the democratic gains tn the cit ry republican gain jn the country was virtually so much of a majority. E ‘TRMPERANCE VOTE. Furthermore the attacks on Barnes rallied to hima ‘umber of church-going temperance democrats, and enlisted so strong a partisanship for him in his own neighborhood that he carried his own county by 800 of again over last year, while Bell’s voto in bi home county fell off fifty two votes, THE GERMAN VOTX, ‘The democrats also counted too largely upon the Bupport of the Germans in Hamilton county, where | their majority of loss than 800 is a gain of only 2,000 or 2,500 less than they expected. At the last moment the Cincinnati German republi- cans fell into Hne and voted the Barnes ticket quite generally. The disappor of the democrats at the result in Cincinnat! is ‘tly poignant, nor are they Breatly consoled by the result in Cleveland and Cuya- hoga county, which went only 2,000 in their favor Against an expected 4,00U. These two counties were the koy to the situation, It was also an exceedingly ne day, with an indian summer balminess which in- vited out a full republican vote ‘THE GREENBACK MEN ‘were conspicuous by their absence from anything like B special canvass, but the result in Mahoning and Lucas counties shows that they voted according to their orig- nal party predilections and to the benefit of Barnes, as contrasted with Hayes last yer ho was given the go-by by many soit money republicans, who, on the eurrency issue, became partisans of Allen, and voted for him. EXCITEMENT SURSIDING. Tho city Is quict to-night and both partics have left the streets and gone home, the democrats consoling themselves with the chance of victory in Indiana and their opponents satisfied and huppy. TUR CHARGES OF FRAUD, ‘There isa lull if wots cessation of the charges of fraud. Some of the democrats were led early this morning into betting heavily on a victory for Bell aud they are quite indignant to-night at what thoy say was @eception practised upon them vy their leaders, and bhero is a good deal of ill feeling in consequence, but dtherwise the peace of Columbus is exemplary. WAYKS CONGRATULATED, Govornor Hayes, who got back hore last night from bis residence in Sanausky county, has been warmly congratulated by bis triends, and bad a host of callers to-day, among them General Stewart L, Woodford, who came #0 near being on the Presidential ticket with 1 Banks, General Conway and Judge Dit- In tho course of convorsation these gentle- men atiributed the victory of yesterday to tho fear of the people that TH “s0LID souTH’’ ‘was a serious and suspicious menace of the good un- derstanding between all parts of the Union, and, couplod with the preferment of so many southorn claims, threatened @ revival of tho old Southern su- promacy in the affairs of the government. THR CONGRESHIONAL RETURNS. The returns for Congressmen are quite meagre as to majorities. The ropublicans havo carriod the Third, Bixth, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Fifteenth, Bixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteooth, Nineteenth and Twenticth districts—quite probably being a gain of fave; and the democrats, the Firat, Fourth, Fifth, Sev: | the State in November, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, ‘OCTOBER 12, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET.. ene enth, Twelfth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth districts, the Second district being very close much doubt DETAILS OF THE CONGRESSIONAL VOTE—A RE- PUBLICAN GAIN OF FIVE.

The domocrats elect the balance of the ticket. The Gasette charges that the vote of this county of 55,996, against 48,597 in 1875, is an evidence of fraud, BANNING’S ELECTION CONCEDED—SAXYLER’S Ma- JORITY SIX HUNDRED. Cuxcixwatt, Oct. 11, 1876, There appears to be no doubt about the election of Banning (dem,) for Congress in the Second district by about Afty majority, Sayler (dem.) for Congress in tho First district has about 600 majority. ‘The official figures cannot be bad, but the republicans concede their election, WHY THE ISRAELITES VOTED THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET—CALCULATIONS BY THE LOCAL Pa- PERS. Cixcraxatt, Oct. 11, 1876. Tho Commercial says the most important single influ- ence has been that of the Israelites, who bave almost unanimously voted the democratic ticket and may bo credited with the result in the Second district, It is understood that the republican Isra have gen- erally succumbed to the argument that Cincinnati bas put her capital in Southern railruads and mast look out for Southern trade, OPINIONS OF THE LOCAL PRESS. The Enquirer says the result in Obio is so close that nothing definite can be given at present. If the re- publicans have carried the State their majority is not likely to reach beyond that of last year. The Gazette estimates the republican majority in Ohio at from 5,000 to 8,000, and Indiana republican by from 3,000 to 5,000, Holman for Congress is proba- bly defeated. The republicans claim a gain of, perhaps, ten and cortainly eight Congressmen in Ohio and Indiana. INDIANA, A DEMOCRATIC VICTORY SECURE BEYOND A DOUBT. InpiaxaPouis, Uct, 12, 1876, The situation now is thoroughly democratic. Returns from forty-five counties complete, and 150 precincts, abow a democratic gain over 1872 of 3,549, making the majority tor Williams 4,697, The Democratic State Central Committee claim the election for Congressmen in the First, Second, Third ana Twelfth districte. The State is claimed bythe democrats from $4429 to 7/000, and by the republicans by an invisible figare. THE RESULT STILL IN DOUBT—THE FEELING AT tHE VARIOUS HEADQUARTERS—REPUBLI- CAN IDEAS OF THE CONTEST. Inpiaxapous, Oct. 11, 1876. The spacious rooms of the Republican State Central Committee, on the scoond flobr of the Journal Byild- ing, are thronged to-night with an intensely excited body of republicans. They eagerly catch every spark of hope evidenced by tho momentary arriving tele- grams, In tbe streets in front of the republican head- quarters are gathered thousands of eager people, pa- tiently waiting each announcement of returns from the various counties and districts of the State. CHARACTER OF COMPARISONS, As most of these, compared with the October vote of 1872, show more or less republican gains, the seething, excited mass of men, beth within and without, io an almost constant condition of hurrah. The cheers are almost deafening when a county sends up a good Harrison report, showing gains over 1872, It willbe remembered that at the October election thet year the vote was very closo, the republicans clecting Baker Governor by less than 1,000 majority. ot course, gains on that vote relatively are good omons for the republicans, and hence the quick pulsa- tion of gratification upon receipt of news showing re- publican gains over 1872 All day through the meagre reports at republican headquarters gave no hopeful promise to the Harrison people, and their carnest faces were unnaturally elongated. CHANGM IN THE FEELING. Over at the Blue Jeans committee rooms on Wash- ington street the democratic crowds were in glee and corresponiing!y vociferous, but as the day wore on aud the smoke of battle gradually cleared away, relieving by degrees the enveloped mystery of the sanguinary battlefield and exposing both the points of defeat and trophies of victory, the republicans cheered up, and this cheerfulness hus now, in the early evening, devol- oped into hilarious hopefulness. Apparently their despondency has taken wings, not that they aro, by any means, out of the woods or at all sure of success, but the reports of gains are so steady and so anbroken by adverse reports that the expectation is tor a striking and solid republican victory. OPINION OF A REPUBLICAN. Meeting Colonel Will R. Holloway, Morton’s brother- in-law and-the Postmaster hore, a most astute poli- tician, I inquired his opinion, which he gave in forci- ble specch as follows:— “Oh! it will be close, very close. We can’t tell any- thing about it yet. It will take three or four days to get anything definite and certain, Perhaps the official count will be required to assure us.’’ I suggested to bim, “Inen, Colonel you aro not sanguine of having won a republican victory ?” “No; 1 think its ‘nip and tuck,’ with chances inst us, It ia repetition of tho October election of 1868. Then, as now, I got disgusted with the re- | turng and ebuified off home and early to bed. I'll do the same to-night” And with tnat despoodent observation Colonel Hol- Joway drow on his overcoat and disappeared injthe gloom in the rear of the Post office. AN EDITOR'S RXPRESSION. Meeting Enos B. Reed, a prominent City Fatber and editor of a leading Hayes paper, | requested his opin- ton, Re said:— “No doubt of Marrison’s election, sit; a0 doubt of it, If he wvlected by a score majority Hayes will sweep The independents will flock en masse to General Hayes, Even if Blue Jeans should happen to get in by @ small majority Hayes will carry Indiana sure in November.” VIEWS OF ANOTHER EDITOR. Georgo Harding, also an editor of a Hayes journal here, in response to mquiries said he result proves to be close, either democratic or republican, the contest tor the next month will be hotter'n topbet in Indiana.” “Then you think,” I suggested, “that botn con- testants will strive heroically to grasp the November Hoosier prize?” “That's it, precisely,’’ he responded. He added, “Tue republicans will win, however, as in 1968, when they barely oscaped defeat in October, but gave Grant 10,000 majority in November succeeding. The repub- licans are stronger in November than in the Ovtober fight.” I guess pudlican State orga “ Marrwon won the battle, but if he loses by a handful we are eure of a Hayes victory in Novem- ber. The independents will scatter and most of them come to Hayes In preference to going to Tilden.” PREMATURE EXHILARATION, Tho republicans are becoming hourly more jubilant. Ifthe pews to them is more roseate than the facty warrant they are at least enjoying the respite of se- curity, When the old Blue Jeans counties of the southern and southwestern sectious—the pocket—are heard from, perhaps the buge democratic gains will be a damper on the joyousness prevailing at republican headquarters. INDICATIONS THAT THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET 18 ELECTED. Inptaxarotis, Ind., Oct. 11, 1876. From all returns filed up to midnight the indications are that the entire demooratic State ticket is elected by a small majority; but it may require the offical vote to determinothe resuit tor Governor, The Democratic Btate Central Committee claims that Williams’ majority will be trom 2,000 to 3,000. CROWDS IN ATTENDANCE DURING THE DA¥ WAITING FOR THE NEWS—GENERAL SHIELDS ON THE PROSPECTS FOR TILDEN IN THE STATE—¥FAVORABLE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK. Ixpsaxarouis, Oct. 11, 1876 All day long the crowds have remained in front of the republican and democratic headquarters, cheering OF groaning as the various despatches were ap- Bounced, On the corners, in the hotels and every- where that men most do congregate the discussion of the resuit of the election was lively to a great degree. Last night it seemed blue for the democrats. Ax the returns come in to-night it looks different, and there is consequently much jubilation in the party. OPINIONS OF A VETERAX, Talking to the venerable G al James Shields to- night, whose mind is as clear as his body is feeble, he said he had given much attention to the canvass and had been all over the State making speeches, snd be thought that sbould Harrison elected there was sufficient intelligence left among the people to discriminate betw the defeat of a man like Williams, who was unaccepti ble to numerous democrats becauso of his want of polish and education, and the defeat of the principles on which the democratic campaign were conducted, Ho believed, in short, that Tilden and Hendricks would be elected despite the defeat of Bluc Jeans Williams. WAITING FOR THE NEWS, All day long despatches have been coming to the headquarters of both parties, small despatches with reports of small gains here and thero, in this little ‘township apd that. Those were read out aloud to the crowds, and they were desperately cheered or teebly indorsed according to their natwerical importance. INDICATION OF DEMOCRATIO VICTORY. Ixvianarouis, Oct, 11, 1876. The returns from nearly 500 election districts have been received and the gains indicate a democratic ma- jority. It will be quite a surpriso if the State has gone otherwise, The republican majority in this county is about 1,200, which ia a gain of 200, and the democrats account for this on the grounds that the repeaters and colonizers were too many for them. Mr. John C. New, ex-Treasurer of the United States, says he bolieves the State has gone democratic, THE EBB AND FLOW OF PARTISAN EXULTA- TION—GOVERNOR HEXDRICKS’ CONYIDENCE STIFFENS. InptamaPoi, Oct, 11, 1876, At this hour, 4:35 P. M., the returns from 407 dis- tricts give a republican gain of 1,732 and a democratic gain of 2,290, leaving a majority for the democrats of 668. Thero are still 693 districts to hear from. Gov. ernor Hendricks, who was in doubt of the rosult last evoning, 1s confident today, General McCandless, General Manson and other democrats {eel sanguine, General Friedley, of the republican committees, is still satisfied of Harrison’s ction by a smal) ma- jority. The republicans aro notas boisterous as tho democrats, who are cheering all the day, but they say the returns show enough republican gain to justity them in being assured of Harrison’s election. Tho ex- clement 18 at fever heat. ° LARGE 'NS ON BOTH SIDES, LEAVING A PROBABILITY OF WILLIAMS ELECTION. Inpiaxarouis, Oct. 11, 1876, The returns are to the offect that Allen county, which has invariably gone democratic by 3,000 votes, goes this time by 3,500—a clear demecratic gain. Clarke county g' 800 majority for Williams, which isa gain for the democrats of about 700. Wayne county has gone largely republican, Balancing on county with the other tue re t ig still apparent shat Blue Jeans is the coming Governor of this State, DEMOCRATIC GAINS IN COUNTIES—THE SITUA- TION IM PAVOB OF WILLIAMS. Inpianarouis, Oct, 11, 1876, Democratic gains aro given in the following count Laporte, 350, St, Joseph, 350, including a gain of 182 in Colfax’s own precinct, Miami county, 200, Palaski, 175. Vigo county has gone democratic by 700 majority. Floyd county, outside of New Albany, shows a gain of 109, Fountain county, 34, Davies: Montgomery, 132, Scott and Adame combined, 350. Decatur county, ys republican, gives Williams 160. Washington, a gain of 271 over 1872. ‘About Tippecanoe county there is considerable dis- cussion, The democrats ciaim a large gain there, and the republicans maiotain that this isa misrepresenta- tion, The truth 1s that the county has gone by a democratic gain, but not as large as the democrats rep- resent it, In place of 275, as they claim, it is about 150. The situation at this writing is decidedly in favor of the democrats. {THE ANTICIPATED DEMOCRATIC TIDE FROM THE SOUTHERN COUNTIES. Ixpianapous, Oct. 11, 1876. There are still considerable democratic majorities to hear from in the southern counties, where the count- ing has always been slow, and these will roll up largely for Blue Jeans, This city is not all in yet, but the republican gain will be insignificant and must ba overwhelmed by the democratic tide flowing in from tho southern counties. & DBMOCRATIC GAIN AND WHAT THE RATIO IN- DICATES—INCREASED EXCITEMENT. IypraNaPouis, Oct, 11—9:30 P. M. Returns from 456 townships and wards in eighty-one counties, which give a net republican majority of 1,348, gave a net republican matority in 1872 ot 2,166, a demo- cratic gain of 778. If this ratio be maintained Blue Jeans w elected. There is still, and, in fact, growing an enormous degree of excitement, but the State has gone democratic beyond « doubt. THE CONGRESSIONAL VOTE—A REPUBLICAN GAIN OF THREE CLAIMED. Tyotaxapouia, Ind., Oct, 11, 1876. The most reliable returns indicaté the following re- sult for Congress :— Foarth district—Dot Fitth distric\Browne, rep., over Holman, by 1,500. ‘Sixth distret—Robinson, rep., re-elected, th district—Hanoa, rep., over Landers. nth t—Hunter, rep., probably re-elected. Ninth disiriet—White, rep, DISAPPEARANCE OF ROUGHS AND DETACTIVES FROM THE STREETS. Isprasarois, Oct. 11, 1876. The roughs from the Eastern cities and from Chicago have all disappeared from the stroets and public places, and with them tho detectives from Washington, Baltt- more and New York, who were brought on here to watch them, RETURNS FROM 463 TOWNSHIPS, SHOWING A REDUCED REPUBLICAN MAJORITY— PARALYSIS IM THR BEITING CIRCLES. Inpiaxarowis, Oct. 11, 1876. The returns from 463 townships and wards in eighty- one counties gives net republican majority of 1,466. The same places in 1872 gave a net republican ma- jority of 2,347. This ought to be enough to juatily my earliest predictions that the Stato bas goue democratic, There is a fearful paralysis in the betting community. BEPUBLICAN LEADERS ADVISING THEIR FRIENDS TO HEDGE, IxpIaNaPouis, Oct. 11, 1876, The republican leaders ere sending cipher messages to their friends all over the country to hedge in their bets. WEST VIRGINIA, 4& DEMOCRATIC VICTORY CONCEDED ON ALL SIDES. Wueatixa, Oct. 11, 1876 ‘The State will go democratic from 2,000 to 5,000 sure, The majority may reach 10,000, E. G. ORACROFT, Chairman Third Ward Democratic Club, Wuexuina, Oct. 11, 1876. Tho returos are very meagre, but there seems no room to doubt that West Virginia has gone democratic. A. W. CAMPBELL, Chairman Republican State Committee, © MEAGRE RETURNS RECEIVED—DETAILS OF THE « YOTE FROM PRIVATE SOURCES. 4 Warsaiixa, Oct, 11, 1876, The ticket voted for yesterday was a long oae, and in most places the count was abandoped until this morn- ing. The roturns at this writing are very meagre, but as tar as received show republican gains, Broeke county gives about its usual democratic majority of 1¢0. Taylor county, heretofore strongly democratic, gives 800 republican majority. Two townships im Wetzel county show ropublican gains, Camerpn township, in Marshall county, shows a republican gain of 105 over the vote of 1874. Three townships in Berkeley county give 260 demo- eratic majority, a democratic gain of 250, Mason county—Partial returos indicate about 160 republican majority, Jefferson county gives about 800 democratic ma- jority. Greenbrier county gives an increased democratic majority. Mineral county givos a heavy democratic majority, Wood county gives about 250 democratic majority. No returns have been received from Ohio county, but it 1s supposed to be carried by Goff, republican. These reports are from private sources, and official Teturns may entirely change them, Adjacent town- ships in Ohio county show neavy republican gains. NEWARK CHARTER ELECTION. In the way of fact and figure there is very little to be added tothe report in yesterday’s Hxratp of the Newark charter election. The city went decidedly re. Publican, though by greatly reduced majerities as compared with the vote of last year. In 1875 the city gave Mayor Yates, republiean, a majority of 3,370 ana the republican Aldermen an aggregate majority of 3,430, This year the republican city ticket receives only about 1,600, and the aggregate republican ma- jority on Aldermen is only about 800, @ falling off of about 2600, This is undoubtedly due to great Jican defections in wards where the Germai merous, noticeably in the Twelfth, Thirteenth and Sixth wards The latter completely swung round from the republicans and elected « democratic Alderman. Tho Thirteenth, which ga¥e the republicau Alderman in 1875 about 700, barely escaped being captured by tho democrats, their can- didate being defeated by only some soventy vores, It ismoteworthy that, while the democratic total vote in- creased nearly 2,000 since lust year, the republican vote is increased only about eighty. Upon Aldermen the republicans this year gain the Firat, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Fifteenth, carried by the democrats two years ago. The democrats gain the Sixth and Tenth, garried by the republicans last year. While the re- pablicans bave really carried the city handsomely, the democi claim decided gains as above par- ANXIETY IN NEW YORK. It is some years since an election has raised an ex- eltement in this city equalto that now pending on the Obio and Indiana elections, The fact that tho result is Buppovedtaiyive a forccast ofthe vote tor the Presi- dency, coupled with tho immonse sums of money al- ready wagered on the different events, made all classes curious so find out how the tide was running. Tho national headquarters of the different parties were Oiled with anxious politicta: it a very early hour all thirsty for information. At the democratic head- quarters at nine A. M. they were informed by the com- mittee that a despatch bad been received giving tho democrats 12,000 majority in indiana. Mr, Hewitt spoke in a very encouraging tone, saying that ‘“‘the roturos are coming slowly, but favorably. Indiana is certainly ours and the returns {rom Uhio give promise of largo gains in that State. Whether we carry Onio or not, it is a great victory for us as the republicans have flooded the State with money, and now if they win it will only be by a small majority.” Shortly after noon Governor Tilden made his appear- ance and looked perfectly satisfied with the condition of affairs. Ho said that he was moro than satisfied with the result of the election in Ohio and Indiana, as it was better than they had any reason to expect, He had thought that it was next to an impossibility to fight in those States against the immense amount of money that was being so profusely scattered around, apd tho result, he was glad to say, had proved the falsity of bis convictions. At noon a despatch was re- ceived from Mr, Thompson, chairman of the Ohio State Committec, saying that he claimed the State of Unio for the democrats, During the mornin, lowing despatches were read :— Inptanarowis, Oct. 11, 1976, .

There was stiil some doubt about indiana, as the only despatch received during tue , + of the morning gave Harrison 2,518 majority in sown. ships in torty-#ix counties, Shortly atterward Shert- dan Shook received the following despatch :—''No cer- tain figures up to three o’ciock A.

The returns camo in very slowly, and about one P. M. one gentieman stated that Barnes would prov- ably be elected by about 7,000 majority, and the rest of the ticket by 10,000. He added that Harrison would probably be clecsed in Indiana by about 3,000 majority, The latter statement was soon alterward indorsed by ex-Governor McCormick, who stated he had received a despatch to the same effect. Ia talking over the situation Secretary Chandier stated that be thought there was no doubt but Obio would go repub- Hiean by 9,000 majority aod Indiana by 2,000. Among those present during the day were President Grant, Secretary Chaudier, ex-Governor McCormick, Kilpatriek, eral Hon, Carl Schurz, ex-Go Dix, General rpe, ‘Secretary Boutwell, Jobn C.

GRATIFYING GROWTH OF BUSINESS—PRESI- DENT GARRETT’S VIEW@ ON THE NEW YORE CENTRAL ROAD'S POLICY. Battimogs, Oct. 11, 1876, At the regular monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Baltimore and Obio Railroad Company to-day President Garrett stated that the revenueol the main stem and branches, including the Pittsburg division, for the month of September bad been $1,608,807 86, showing an increase over the, revenuo trom the same sources for August of $205,772 77. This large revenue was very satisfactory in view of the low rates which had been continued under the action of the New York Cen- tral roud. ‘he grain trade was still very heavy, and pussooger trafic showed also a large incresse. Mr. Garrett said that much interest bad been manifest tly of repre pathy country in deemed it Rrory te the facts so hio Railway was connected York, and far as the Baltimore and with that conference. It had been erroneously stated that he (Mr. Garrett) had participated in that m sponse to re- quesis from the leading office el al of the moss roads, be had requested Vice President King for the purpose of aiding in establishing remu re rates. As this request came also from the most respected and controlling officers of the prin- cipal connect of th w York Central road, it was reasonably supposed that that company desired to make such arrangements as would produce a result demanded by an almost universal public judgment. ‘Alter being thus invited to the conference it was found, although the representatives of the Canada lines, the New York and Erie and the Ponnsylvania were present, no parties “appearod who had authority to jing. In ee ropregont the wholo line between Chicago and Ld York. Statements were made on bebaif of the N York Central that tho representative ot! trunk lines bad been misinformed as to the suppesed demand of the New York Central road to make equal rates from the centres of western commerce to the seaboard cities irrespective of distances, but after consuming the time of the officers who atton this conference, there was no practical evidence that the Now York Central road had abandoned what wat understood to be its policy, the conference neces. sarily proved fruitless. It was clearly shown that the Western counections of the New York Central Road felt that the interests of their stockholders and bondholders were being literally immolated by a policy which time will certainly show to be capricious, as contrary to common sense as to long established principles, and impossible to be main- tained. It was evident that they were ontirely dissat- istied with the policy of the New York Central, and u plainly showed a wise anxiety to bring about @ restoration ot the rates to # remunerative st The folly of the present recklessly unremunerative established by the New York Cen! is shown by the fact that large quanti ot delayed at that city, from the inability id its connections to trau: tt. a Obio Compan for ita entire equipment in the transport grain and other morch: more.
