Are, and What They Have Been.

"what is all this going to amount to-this arrest
OF TweedYn
"wen, don't know. 1t looks like an clectioneer-
ing DODGE
"On, no: that won't do Those documents are too
heavy"
swell, why don't they arrest Ingerson and the
others The papers in the suit and the order OF
rest are against Ingersol, Garvey and Wood
ward as wei as Tweed, and you can bet II
any OF them running for State Senator
they would have been arrested just as the 'Boss"
was. Why, that arrest could just as well be made
the day after election yesterday 1t done for
effect, ana nothing else"
"l think you're wrong l don't think Charles
OConor would go into anything of the sort for
enect.n
"No don't suppose he would, knowingly; but
think he IS being made use or by some sharp specu-
lator, who knows how honest and earnest he is and
he has a sort OF superficial case gwen him, and he
goes to work TO do good. There's something behind
this that everybody don't see."
"There must be. But what can 1t pef l can't
believe that O'Conor is going TO drivel now"
"Oh, no. There is not much fear of that He un
derstands the business better tnan DO and know
II he thought anybody was trying to make use OF
him TO gain any private advancement on the
strength OF public excitement he would drop the
whole matter like a hot potato.
"What do you suppose the ooject can beg"
swell, mink 1t Is desperate attempt to
GET HOLD OF THE LEGISLATURES;
by that means get control the Central and Erie
roads, and finally get such power over the rail-
roads Of the country would make old Tom Scott,
Of Pennsylvania, paralyzed. Tom, You know, Is q
candidate for President. The republicans must have
Grant again or they are dead, gone forever. They
nre determined to get it by any means In their
power.n
.l must confess can't see through itn
"Oh, its q deep game. LOOK here Tom Murphy
b running ODonovan Rosa for Senator against
Tweed. Now no sane man thinks that -Rossa or
any other man like him can beat Tweed. Murphy Is
70 pay O'Donovan Rossa's expenses ana If the
Legislature is republican then they will 60 m con.
test Tweed's seat, find out some repeating or
false counting and have hun thrown out on
the ground OF fraud and ODonovan Rosa
declared q member. Then the Erie Directory bill
would be repealed Tweed, you know, is one OF the
preferred directors. There would be grand
Bplurge. By degrees the Erie people would be
squeezed down so that the Hudson River and Gen.
tral folks would come into power, Fisk Tweed.
Sweeny and the crowd would be swamped, and,
tell you, it would take many months before the
Grant crowd, through ConkIing and Murphy would
be making everything work to SUIT themselves and
CONTROL THE RAILROADS
Of the whole country"

young men-one wei known member OF the bar
and the other publisher. The theory Is given by the
legal gentleman and may be regarded as somewhat
startling. The conversation took place In Broad
way stage. The pal ties had teen reading the full
reports III yesterdays HERALD, and were naturally
interested in the SUBJECT which was uppermoSt In
mems minds. Everywhere the matter was spoken
OF, but the comments and reports IN the newspa-
pers formed the main texts ior their dscourses.
AT THE PUBLIC OFFICES
in the new Court House and City Hall there was not
1 q

orders 10 make any arrests OF the codeiendants
AT THE coMpTRoLLER's OFFICE
the ordinary routine was being carried out, but
there was no excitement All was quiet and

was applied by Mr. Green 10 a number OF attaches
OF the Court OF Common Pleas, supreme and
superior ana Marine Courts, and there was paid
100000 TO the Department Of Public Instruction Tor

At the Mayors ONCE ana the other of1ces and de-
partments there was nothing going on worth men,
