cal inspection reports that the Republicans
in ST. Lawrence and Franklin counties are SO
indignant over the sharp practice at Saratoga

jority. Franklin county gave him nearly fit
1 teen hundred majority. This year it is esti-
| mated that Mr.. Folger will have less thanfve
| thousand majority in St. Lawrence and less
] than one thousand in Franklin county.-N.

! correspondence. Malone in one of these let
tiers says of Delegate Bailey, of Washington
| county, now one of his most earnest support
ers, ''He is an arrogant ass" In another
place Malone says of Bailey that he felt
''oblged, at the risk of offending the jackass,
to do so and so. The General touches up Mr..
N. B. Meade, the present Readjuster corpo-
ration Judge of Alexandria, and Col. Robert
| NJ Mayo, now the Readjuster candidate for

we'll pleased with the nomination of Mr.. How
ard Carroll, young Journalist as the Repub-
! lican candidate for Congressman at large in
that State Mr.. Carroll having Indignantly
denied a report that he had paid the Repub-
lican State Committee $4,000 for his nomi-
nation, the Tribune responds editorially that

roll ''could pay $4,000 or any other sum. =
but it adds that 1.-THE youth only offered to
pay it when he was hanging about the State
committee rooms begging for the nomination
and button -holing acquaintance to intercede
with the committee for him." and offers to
produce affidavits to prove this assertion if it
! is denied. .. 49,. 4-ss....,.
