Delano, who has superceded Mr. Ramsey in the management of the western lines, were shown in a letter from Mr. Ramsey to Mr. Delano, made public here today. The letter is a reply by Mr.

Ramsey, who is now in Europe on a six months' leave cf absence, to an interview by Mr. Delano, published several weeks ago and I in which the vice president takes credit for changes he has made in the management of the road since superceding Ramsey. A reference by Mr. Delano to former rules as "forms" seems to have touched Ramsey for he comes backing with a declaration that Delano does not know enough about the management of the road to speak intelligently and that he is not sufficiently posted on its present operation to present the facts truthfully. The criticism of the president's methods by Mr.

Delano, Mr. Ramsey. cals a breach of good manners and charges Delano with "advertising and "playing to the gallerles." This he declares is common and he cares nothing about it, but says the misstatements are such as to require a public answer and correction. Delano's Reply. CHICAGO, Aug.

-F. A. Delano, vice president of the railway in a telegram from Charlevoix, annent the letter of President Ramsey says: "Have not seen Mr. Ramsey's article. feel sure that Mr.

Ramsey, who 18 In Europe, has been led through some misinformation or misunderstanding to assume that I have attacked him or his methods in the public prints.

While I hold different opinions from Mr.

Ramsey on certain questions of policy, I should prefer to let the public judge of my work by results rather than by an exploitation of my views in the newspapers." FOOT AND ANKLE CRUSHED.

Political Gossip August M. Schmidt, the present city clerk, has announced himself 88 a democratio mayoralty candidate and has already begun an active campaign for the nomination.
