WHAT ABOUT
Tho trouble Is about the very important ques
whether Mr.. Bigelow and his assoJ.-. =, who wesS
elected years ago. shall tho State for two
years longer whether other persons shall take their
places. THIS would to be small matter for
a great party to squabbo about; but 1t has been
brought into Importance by tho unfortunate fact
that all the in tho state who oppoed to Mr..
Tildcn, and all who wore in any way injuriously
affected by the reform movements prosecutions
inauguratcd under Governor Tden and carried for
ward under Governor Robinson have been indiscrete
enough to mako an opon and vindictive war against
the present State officers
MEDIUM COURSE
There are somo persons hore who, whilc thcy would
rather support Bgelow and tho whole list Of State
officers than allow the absolutely antagonistc clements
to select ticket OF their own, yet favorable to
nominees, AT all cvonts for Of the positions
under certain circumstances. They say. 1--WE care
nothing about Bigelow, Farchild tho rsst and bo-
lieve that there are as good and bettcr mon In tho

TO Governor Robinson, would be unicd.
FAlRCHILD's WEAKNESS.
Tho fact is evident that the present state onicers
have damaged their cause by thcir wavering, timid
and uncertain policy. Tho recent Tweed invcstiga-
tons have been noorousiy designed njure tho old
ticket and all It's supporters No questions have been
asked OF Tweed but in relation to mon who are known
TO be in opposition ticket policy asso-
catcd with tho ansi-Tammauy movement In New York.

and mature consideration, which would show
that many OF the stories Tweed has
told under the influence OF Tammany sxamina-
tion wore IN the original, while far grayor charges
affecting men who are in ibvot OF a new ticket
pthcrwsc friendly to Tammnny have becn suppressed
