About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ... WE NOW got a bill introduced in the Jersey Legislature which was then in session, incorporating the Erie Railroad under a New Jersey charter, with headquarters in Jersey City. The bill proposed to give to the road all of the rights which it held as a York State corporation. Vanderbilt, as soon as he heard that such a bill had been introduced, got a lobby to work at Trenton and fought the bill tooth and nail. So long as we were in Jersey as a visitor, he knew he would have a handle on us. The Erie charter was a York State thing, and didn't look to any moving of the headquarters permanently out of the State. So if Vanderbilt could defeat us in getting a home in Jersey, he would be able to get us back onto York State soil soon or late. But we also set a lobby to work. And here we had two or three things in our favour. We were nearer Trenton than he was. In the next place, we had a lot of ready cash, whereas he was scant of cash by precisely the amount which had been put into our Dockets. And in the third place, it was a welcome thing to Jerseyites, this prospect of moving the headquarters of the railroad to their soil. We worked this last lever all we could. We wanted at least the appearance of a settled abode in Jersey City, so that the Commodore would give up the job of waiting for us to come back, and go to something else. We made believe that we liked it in Jersey even better than we had over in New York. In fact, we even went so far as to get Jay to buy a beautiful house in Jersey City, and to give out that he would move his family there shortly. With these helps we got the bill jammed through both houses of the Legislature at Trenton. The Governor signed it. This was notice served on Vanderbilt that we were in this fight in earnest....
