Show . RAILWAY KINGS AT WAR. Senator Stanford1, Friend Afraid Huntington Hunting-ton Will Oppose His Re-election. Sax Fbascisto. Aug. 8. Everv one at the Southern racilic company's headquarters head-quarters is hoping President Hunting, ton will not return here next mouth, as ho promised when ho went back to New York, because if he comes ho is suro to antagonize Stanford and raise a row in the republican camp. Kfforls have, therefore, been made to induce him to remain cast until after the election of a United States senator, hut it is feared without success. Said a prominent railroad rail-road man who wants peace: "If Huntington comes here next month he may or may not talk to newspapers. If ho does, whatever he may say will bo against Stanford, for he has not yet publicly given expression to half the mean remarks ho makes to intimate friends against Stanford. The minute ho does say anything there will be trouble in the railroad camp. Huntington's Hunt-ington's appearance here before election elec-tion will be regarded by the public as the commencement of an active light against Stanford's re-election to the scuatc. even if ho has no intention of thwarting Stanford's ambition." Huntington's hatred of Stanford has been iutensitied since one of Stanford's newspaper organs here made a savage onslaught upon him, and it is understood under-stood ho swore a mighty oath that his old partner should never return to the senate. Certainly a number of Stanford's Stan-ford's enemies aro eagerly awaiting Huntington's return, as' they count on lus opening a barrel and making things very lively in tho coming campaign. , |
