Riddle announced, " I know I am not an officer of this road now, but I am a candidate for chief superintendent, and if I am elected how can I exact proper discipline from those who have so gen- erously contributed to purchase these presents if I should accept them? I thank the men for their kind intentions, but I cannot receive their gifts." The watch and chain were disposed of by raffle, and the tea-service re-melted. He served acceptably as general superintendent of the road for several years, and was offered the vice-presidency, which he declined. He removed to Chicago, and filled the important offices of general superintendent and vice-president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad. He was a man of keen wit. It is related that at the time of his first marriage, he asked leave of absence to go to New Hampshire, as "he had some business his father couldn't attend to." He returned with his bride. As he was promoted from lower to higher offices, his employees frequently alluded to him as if his given name ended with a final e-" Huge " Riddle.
