TUCSON, Sept. 27th.-Sefior Leo
poldo xamora, Inspecting Engl-
neer of Public Works of Mexico,
arrived last night from Boston,
where he has been interviewing
President Nickerson and the Dr.
rectors Of the Guaymas railroad,
A Star reporter called upon him
and learned that complaints had
been made by several parties that
the Railroad Company had aban-
doned the contract they had made
with the Government of Mexico to
construct Its line from Guaymas to
HermosillO, and from thence to FL
Paso, and that 1t had abandoned
the Ell Paso route from Hermosillo
and was building via Magdalena,
q short route to connect with the
Southern Pacific Railroad. The
construction was at ence ordered
stopped north of Hermosillo, and
he was sent to inquire into the
matter and upon inquiry with Mr..
Nickerson UDd the Directors, had
learned that the Company had not
abandoned the El PasO route, but
found the Sonora river route al.
moet imprscticable on account OF
box cations and heavy grades; that
they were building the Magdalena
route with q view of constructing
the shortest practicable road to the
Southern Pacific Railroad, which
would enable them to carry their
material and open up business at
once. In reply to the question az
to whether his Government would
prohibit the building Of the Mag
dalsna route, he answered most
emphatioally no. He said there
was nothing In the Governments
contract with the company to pre-
vent them from building this
route; that all they insisted on was

A Lucky Ohio Man.

Luck still stands by the Ohio man.
The latest instance tending to prove
the truth of this assertion is the ex-
plOsion of the story that Jesse Bald
win had been robbed of the $17 900
in gold which he took in Washing
ton recently in exchange for govern
ment bonds. AS Mr.. Baldwin
leaves it, the story is utterly divest-
ed of its romantic features. The
robbers did not get a dollar of the
gold which he brought with him
from Washington. He did not lose
any registered bonds or any railroad
bonds. His gold is all in the bank;
and he had not see the inside of
the famous old safe for
three years at least. The amount
of money secured by the robbers
vas not nearly 80 large as has been
currently reported. Therefore SYM
pathy for the victim of the clever
cracksmen is no longer called for.

Political Notes.

Another ''star-router' has been
arrested in Washington. Now let
us watch the course of justice as un-
derstood and practiced at the ma
tional capital.
Sunset Cox, who has just returned
from Europe, says he can not get the
hang of politics in New York, par
ties are so split up. Sunsets be-
wilderment is not to be wondered at.
An Indiana paper says: "Sonator
Voorhees,, of this State, will be a
candidate for the Democratic NOM
ination for President in 1884. This
is settled"
The Germantown (Pa.) TELEGRAPH
scouts the idea of the nomination by
the Democrats of either General
Hancock or Hon. Samuel j. Tilden
for the Presidency in 1884. 1t says:
1.-The next Democratic candidate for
President will be Thos. +. Bayard
of Delaware. He is the strongest
and least Objectionable man in the
whole catalogue"
The vote for Attorney General in
Virginia shows the following result:
Frank 5. Blair, Readjuster, Ill 900;
Philip w. Mckinney, Democrat,
l00, 1927; Blair's majority, 1928. Re
turns of the vote for Governor and
Lieutenant Governor will not be
canvassed until the meeting of the
legislature, when it will be done by
a joint committee of both houses.
The Readjusters will have % major
ity in the legislature on a joint
ballot.
The Democratic leaders in Indi-
ana are engaged in a struggle that
bids fair to end in a regular fight
over the nomination for Governor,
and for Senator to succeed Mr.,
Voorhees,. The speech of the latter
at Atlanta, though supported by
many Democratic newspapers, is
considered as having ruined his
chances for being his own successor.
Isaac =. Gray, who was the party
candidate for Northumberland
is man9uvring for the United States
Senate as a stepping-stone for the
Governorship. Jeptha ID. New is a
strong candidate, but Mr.. Mcdonald
appears to be the favorite. AS for
Mr.. English, he is thoroughly de-
spised, because he led the party to
defeat in the presidential campaign.

Sunset Cox ON Judge Cox.

Sunset Cox says Judge Cox, the.
presiding judge of the Guiteau
trial, though no relative, is a dis
tant connection of his. In an in
terview in New York, he stated
that the family is one we'll known
in Maryland, and his father, a
much esteemed lawyer, for ears
practiced at the bar of the United
States Supreme Court. "The
present Judge l consider an intel
ligent, capable and impartial
man. If l was arraigned as an in
nocent man l should wish to have
him try me. If was arraigned
and was guilty, l should prefer
some otherjudge. / have a great
respect for Judge Cox, and believe
he is doing all in his power to pre-
serve order in the court-room."

THE Washington National Repub-
lican, in a recent carefully written
editorial on the future of politics,
says:
southern rebels and Stalwart Re-
publicans will combine and lead the
anti Bourbon elements of this coun-
try"
The editor of the Republican is Mr..
George G. Gorham, the adviser and
bosom friend of Senator Malone.
Mr.. Gorham is a shrewd politician,
and like Malone, one of the ablest
organizers in the country. But, if
we rightly interpret his scheme, as
foreshadowed in the above, we are
inclined to the opinion that he and
Malone have mapped out a much
more extensive campaign than they
will be able to manage. The idea of
Mr.. Gorham is, to leave the Blaine
men out of the combination. In
fact, the suggestion of theEcombina-
tlon is intended as a threat against
the Half-Breeds, or Garfield Repub-
licans, and aimed.especially at Secre-
tary Blaine. If Mr.. Gorham, who
processes to publish an administra-
ton organ, is permitted to inaugu-
rate such a programme, he will sue
coed only in splitting the Republican
party, and insuring its overwhelm-
ing defeat. Secretary Blaine is not
the kind of a man to be so easily dis
posed of, He is to-day the most

popular man in the Republican par
ty-perhaps, in any party-and a
dangerous leader for the ''bosses" to
attempt to throttle in that way. This
will be made quite apparent to Mr..
Gorham and Senator Malone when
they attempt to carry out their pre-
posed programme.

THE IRONY OF FATE,
Brooklyn Eagle.
1t is part of the irony of fate
that two attempts to take the life
of Guiteau, a worthless wretch,
have failed, while he, at the first
trial succeeded in killing the Pres
ident of the republic.
HOW LONG WOULD He STAY BUR-
Nashville American.
Buried in an asylum for the in
sane, he (Guiteau) would be a
standing monument living, and
after death, to the calm justice and
self-control of the American peo-
pie.
THE BLAINE CAMPAIGN BEGUN.
Baltimore American.
There is a little risk in prophe-
sying that the day is not far dis
tant when Mr. Blaine will be again
called upon to bear the burden of
high public trust.
A DIFFERENCE OLE OPINION.
Elmira Free Press.
There is a difference between
Rochester Democrat and the Buff
falo Express as to the proper meth
cd of treating Stalwarts. The lat
ter think that they should be kill
ed outright, and the former that
they should be merely roasted.
DRINKS IN SIGHT.
Chicago inter- Ocean.
There are 1850 rivers and small
streams in the United States, and
$4,000 lakes, according to the last
census. Add to these the number
of breweries, distilleries and soda
fountains, and it appears very
plain that the inhabitants of this
land of liberty need not worry
about their drinks.
THE NEW COALITION.
Vicksburg Commercial.
The next canvass in the South
will be between the Democratic
party on one side and all the ele-
ments of opposition combined on
the other. 1t will be fierce in some
sections, and everywhere it will
be exciting. The coalition with
Malone was in accordance with
the programme mapped out by
the Republican leaders,and it will
be carried out to the letter in every
Southern State.
1T WASN'T THAT WAY FoRMELY.
New York Sun.
The Republican majority in the
House of Representatives will not
avail the party much unless it has
some sort of a leadership. The
fact that eight second-rate Con-
gresham are candidates for the
Speakership and that no one mem
Der is pre-eminent above his fell
lows, is not a promising sign. 1t
wasn't that way in other days.
