R. Act is not a disinterested and spontaneous movment, but is in a great measure inaugurated and paid for by the present city railway monopoly whose abuse of the Public is a disgrace to Chicago. Although residing two miles from my office, I walk four fifths of the time, to avoid riding in, or on a car crowded with forty to seventy persons, where thirty cannot be comfortably carried. I am not a party in interest in the charter now in your hands, but I believe that if it fails to receive your sanction, we shall be deprived of reasonable competition in city railway accommodations for a long time to come, and so enrich the present monopolists, that it will be almost impossible to escape from their crushing power.

We, the Union men of this place regard it as being a Secesh. Emblem, analogous to a Secesh. flag.

Emblem? (2) Should any one be allowed to wear such an Emblem in public? (3) If not what means would you advise us to take to prevent it? I am also requested to ask if you will grant a Commission to some suitable person in this place to raise a company of "Home Guards" Of course we would not expect any pay, but if you could do anything towards furnishing arms, we would be glad of it.
