Enclosed you will find copy of a letter addressed to one of our oldest heads of Department at the Sacramento Shops, now temporarily absent from the State. It accidentally came into my possession. Doubtless other and similar letters have been addressed to various employees of the Company. This one bore date 23 Broad St. New York. June 3rd, 1890. and honestly came into my possession. As you will observe, in the second paragraph of his letter he could not fail to exhibit a characteristic which has become habitual with him, - to contradict himself. He says "In many cases" you had "sacrificed the interests of the railroad for which he has received personal benefit". and he closes the paragraph by saying "but at the same time I think the number of such people are very small". This is so characteristic of the man that you will know to whom I refer without seeing the signature thereunto attached.
I am working in perfect harmony with our friend on California Street, and my friends in Santa Clara County are doing likewise. There is no lack of harmony, so far as I am able to discover, in the object for which we are all working. I have no recollection of ever seeing politics in California so quiet immediately preceeding a general election. I hope this does not portend a great political storm which is to follow.
