tLe minor ills is a letter addressed by
 two Massachusetts, Senators to Sec
 retary Folger giving Collector Worth
 iugtOn severe hauling over the coa4s
 for helping the Democrats to elect their
 candidate for governor. Another letter
 more irritating to the President be- cause more personal, Is from Messrs
 Herriek, Kerr & Bliss in regard to ex-
 Senator Spencer during the late Star
 Route trlal. Spencer a government
 official, was wanted as government wit
 ness, but could not be found. The
 time of a second trial draws near and
 Spencer has not yet been found. He is
 wanted very much. The government
 counsel sent another letter to the Presi
 dent calling Lis attention to all the
 facts in Spencer's case. The President
 does not exactly like to have his atten-
 tICn called to this thing. It intimates
 that he wants to screen Dorsey. The
 President wants every violator of the
 law punished, but he Is not very anx-
 ious to see useful Republican states mGn-the Secretary of the National COmmItte a man whom he has trusted
 as the saviour of Indiana-between the
 gratings of the penitentIary.
