the price paid for the lot, brought 1928 Their

"A breeze was stirred up at Albany, N
Y, last week, by charge made in the House
by Assemblyman Bradley that Mr.. Sessions
another member, had attempted to bride him
to vote against Conkling, by giving him
$4,000. He produced the money and handed
it to the Speaker for safe-keeping. The mat.
ter is under investigation. Sessions has made
oath that he did not offer the bride, while
Bradley stoutly swears that he did One OF
the other has pcriured himself The charge
is serious one, but the contest over the sen
atorship is SO warm that il would not be safe
to draw any conclusions until all the facts
are known. The Conkling men are in high
spirits, while their opponents assert that the
whole affair is a conspiracy concoctcd by
some of Conkling's friends.

The Republican party can scarcely claim
any longer to be opposed to reputation of
public debts, since II has joined hands with
Malone and his Readjusters, in Virginia. 1t
is no longer doubted that President Garfield
will use the power of his administration to
aid in the election of the Readiuster ticket,
and even ex-senator Conkling pauses in the
midst of his own fight to telegraph to Ma
hone his sympathy and good wishes. Con-
sistency is jewel, rare everywhere, but
especially so among the Republican leaders
of the present day.

GEN. GRANT SPEAKs-While Gen. Grant
was known as the great Silent Man, he had
the reputation of possessing great WISDOM
Since his return from Mexico, however, he
speaks freely and as n consequence his fame
for wisdom is departing The burden of his
theme seems to be the wrongs that President
Garfield and Mr. Blaine have pcrpetrated
upon his friend Mr. Conkling. He thinks
the President and the Senate have treated
Senator Conkling in an outrageous manner ;
that senatorial courtesy ought to be respect
ed-that is, if the President makes an ap-
pointment and the senators from the State
to which such appointment appertains are
opposed to it, all the other senator's should
acquiesce in rejecting it. lie declares there
was no arrangement at Mentor between
Conkling and himself with Garfield by
which the third termers were to come to Gar
fields support. He bames Blaine for all of
Conklng's troubles, and accuses Garfield of
ingratitude.
