NEW York. August 23d.-Ike eKcitemeuS
q political circles over the so-called "revela-
ions concerning Governor Cornells stock
'perations continues, and the newspapers,
specially the Herald, are doing all they can
o exsggerate the matter. Governor Cornell
vas an officer of the A. d. I. Company, and
according to the statement took advantage of
lis position to form I. blind pool for the dis.
oosal of a large holding of the stock. Gov
.rnor Cornell was not alone in the scheme, I
having associated with himself such men as
Gould, Ssgs, Sydney Dillon, Galloway and |
others, who largely control the stock market, |
and can influence stock either way they de- |
sire. These men were to become responsible |
for the stock, and share the profits of such |
sales as Cornell might make, he having con.
troll of the affair. 1t had become necessary
TO make sale of a. ID. L. stock, as o new
company was being organized, and the stock
of the old one was likely to decline in prize
in consequence therefore how to get rid t +
the old stock at fair profit was the question.
Governor Cornell organic I'd blind pool, 1t is
stated, and capitalists, who of course were
their appreciation of the fact that they were
likely to reap a rich harvest of profits as well
SIS would Cornell, came to the front hand.
somely. The par value of the stock was then
S25. 1t was quoted at SIS. The price st
once went to $50, marked by the pool
at that point This gave it the value per
share of $50, as stock is quoted on
Change, on basis of 500 par.
When it got into the vicinity of SO, the Gov
ernor is said to have unloaded and put out
large lot Of shorts. Then the new company
has since gone much lower. How much the
Governor cleared by his short sales at SO is
not known, but he being good fnancier, it
is to be presumed that he cleared handsome
return. One trouble, apparently, with the
associates of Governor Cornell in the blind
pool is that they have not received their
share OF the profits III the operation that they
believe belongs to them; but this is not the
primary cause for the statements relative to
Cornell His course towards the elevated
railroad tax bills, as well as his course in the
blind pool, are the chief reasons for the de-
sire that is felt to kill off the Governor in his
attempt to secure a denomination, The men
to do this are Jay Gould and Roscoe Conkling.
Gould, because the refusal to lift the tax took
somuch money out of his pocket, and Copkliug,
because he has a score to settle with Cornell
Tor the latter's course in the Senatorial con.
test a year ago. These two men, then, are
posing themselves in front as the virtual d.
rectors of the Republicans of New York
State. Gould also sees ahead, and no doubt
desires to have his potency felt in the choice
of the new Railroad Commission, which the
next Governor will name. These considera-
tons have much to do with his present course.
1t is more than likely. however, that the
rural voters, who do not want to be cheated
with their eyes wide open, will take some
special psins to elect delegates to the County
Conventions who fairly represent the ssnti-
ment of their districts. So far the endeavors
to injure Cornells chances have not gone, it
is safe to say, beyond newspaper agitation.
OMAHA (Neb), August 23i - General
Crook returned home this morning, and upon
being asked his opinion as to the Sioux
trouble, said that at this distance from the
agency he could not tell much about it, but
that it looked as il there must be something
in it. 1t simpossisls to always tell about .
general outbreak. 1t is better to check any
trouble in its incipiency than to allow it to
grow. Ii the present trouble is not thor.
ougbly checked, and if they have cause of
dissatisfaction, although an outbreak may
not occur now, they will find other causes Of
trouble TO add to the present grievances, and
then it is only q question of time when the
Sioux will break out. Affairs OF this kind
generally culminste in this manner. General
Crook has no idea thst he will be sent
to adjust the Sioux troubles, as he has
