Especial to the SENTINEL
New YORK, May 28.-The Posts WASH
ington special says Blaine says the story
of his connection with the Star route
frauds was made by the Suns correspond
ent, and is a pure invention, started, he
believes, to affect the Albany contest.
During his stay in New York he saw no
political leader, o~ffice-holder, editor or re-
porter. Macveagh also absolutely denies
the story, saying that they might as truly
connect him with the frauds as Blaine.
Postmaster General James corroborates
this.
Behind i'm His Money Accounts.
WASHINGTON, May 28.-John G. Thomp-
son, Sergeant-at-Arms of the House Of
Representatives, is behind in his money
accounts with Congressman. He has been
in the habit of drawing pay for Congress-
men and holding it subject to their order
or check. He went beyond his means and
is now unable to meet the checks. He has o
bond, but the law is such that the bonds
men cannot be held. 1t is claimed that
some Congressman have been accommo-
dated beyond what was due them, and that
he will pay every dollar.
CoLUMBUs (Ohio), May 23.-John G..
Thompson denies that as Sergeant-at-Arms
Of the House of Representatives he is
short. His business manager is q careful
man, and would undoubtedly have notified
him of any shortage, not having done 30,
none could have occurred.
The Star Route Sterm to Burst.
New YORK, May 28.-The kilograms
Washington special says: There are NUT
terings to-day of the Star route storm to
burst mex week. Macveagh and James
are working steadily, and hope to issue all
the warrants and have the arrests made
early in June. They expect to prove q
huge conspiracy, and show to whom most
of the stolen money was paid. Appeals
and threats are going up to Garfield to
stop the investigation.
New Names Must b. Presented.
ALBANY, May ga caucus Of the DEM
ocrats is called for Monday. The general
opinion among them is that new names
must be presented, and that Seymour, Rob-
inson and Tilden are out Of the question.
Clarkson N. Potter will probably be one of
the candidates. 1t is reported that the ar
rival Of ex-Speaker Randall will have con-
siderable influence upon the selection Of
candidates, and also upon the conduct Of
the Democratic campaign.
Incorrect RumOrs-.The Readj listers.
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The rumors Of
T~hompson's shortage are evidently incor-
rect, as his chief clerk shows by the books

ceived are adverse to the Readjusters.
