Rensselaer Union, Volume 8, Number 46, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 3 August 1876 — Proposed Adoption of the I., D. and C. as a Link in the Narrow-Gauge Through Line. [ARTICLE]

Proposed Adoption of the I., D. and C. as a Link in the NarrowGauge Through Line.

There is a rumor which seems to be well founded that the Washington, Cincinnati and St.- Louis, Railroad Company, now budding a road from Baltimore to Chicago, is proposing to adopt the line of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railroad, from Indianapolis to Chicago, as a part of its line, in looking over the map this company had, without knowing anything about the I. D. and C. railroad, virtually selected the name route for its road. They propose, if negotiations can bo satisfactorily made, to take the uncompleted 1., D. and C. road and finish it, and pay off all unsettled claims. If the arrangements are made, the new company will proceed this, season with the work and complete as much of it as practicable. “The Washington, Cincinnati and St. Louis is to be a first-class narrow-gauge road, and is expected to be iheshortest route from Indianapolis to tide-water. Its construction will not militate against the building of the pro-, posed Chicago and south Atlantic railroad to the deep-water harbor on the southeast Atlantic seaboard, but will necessarily, if the agreement alluded tt> is made, cause the last named road to adopt the same gauge, and will probably end in the construction of a double track between Indianapolis and Chicago.. —lndianapolis Journal. The true course for independents everywhere is to nominate their own candidates and vote for them. Peter Cooper is the independent greenback party candidate _ for president. In Jndiapa there is a lull state ticket in the field, and each congressional district will have an independent candidate for congress and eac)i county a full county ticket, all of whom are to be supporters of the independent cause and the pandidates representing that cause. It is suicidal to be supporting a candidate lor any office who is not supporting the cause for which you are laboring* —lndianapolis Sun. : r
