II Robertson, who has so often SHOWN HIS >,
:.aonondcnce and courage, can be controled py
os 5enrvnc him of the Collecorship. Ac-
n-S;ng,v Mr. Robertson will be amused to learn
- do, that his name was seriously put down by
ConLling men on the list of members OF the State
Conm,ttee who could be relied upon to place IL
rnder the orders of the Administration
Tho hoast ia made that even without Mr.. Robert
- vote enough other votes for the Administra-
ION have been secured to control the committee
ne of these votes said to be that of Albert Dag
cctt of the Ill District. Mr.. Daggett has valua-
SIe contract for weighing which he naturally does
NOT desire 10 lose His serenity has doubtless been
SLIGHTLY disturbed by the rumorS set afloat at Wash
;ncton that he is to be superseded by john j.
OBren or Bernard Bgln. well known as ardent
followers of the Administration. Politicians mere
have been surprised that Daggett has not Oeeh re-
moved but they now think that President Arthur
believes he can control Daggets vote III the State
Committee by allowing him to retain MS place
Daggett it is reported, controls the vote OF hu""'u
H. Hobbs of the IVth District, whose vote Is there-
fore added to the Administration column.
The boast is also made that James Low, OF the
xYXlst District, thus far the only Garfield Re-
publcan appointed to Office in the State Will also
vote with the Administration men. Mr. Low was a
supporter of Richard Crowley in the Senatorial
contest in January 1881. Mr. Crowley was also
earnestly supported for Senator by Mr. Folger then
n iudge of the Court of Appeals The argu-
ment Is made therefore, that in any
contest for the control Of the State Committee. II
Folrer isthe Administration candidate Crowley can
induce Low to vote with the Administration COM
ritteemen If the contest should become heated,
MIR Low at least will have 1t limited to HIM that his
Consulship at Clifton would be endangered by
vote hostile to the Administration IN the com
mittee.
In other directions, also, the Administration Is
reaching out for votes. General ~ NJ. Curtis OF 81
Lawrence County. who represents the AlAtD DIS
irict is assured that his indictment was
Joke; that nothing offensive was meant
by it. and that actually the Admin
lstration is friendly to him At the same time
preparations are making for an offensive Admins
lration campaign in st. Lawrence County, with
view of getting Administration delegates to the State
Convention. W. H. Daniels the Collector at
Ogdenshurg has just been reminded that charges
were made against him some time ago which may
be pressed. 1t does not matter that these charges
have been disproved, Mr. d lnel>s place is wanted
Politicians here say that the Garfield Repu bicans
are in such an overwhelming majority in st.
Lawrence County that any attempt to secure
Folger delegation by the Administration By putting
in new collector at Ogdensburg would meet with
utter failure ,
