A dispatch from Wheeling, West

Grover Cleveland, in his letter ac-
cepting the Democratic nomination for
Governor of New York, refers at some
length to the paramount necessity of
purity and fairness at primaries, that
candidates when nominated may bear
the impress of the peoples will. He
says subordinates in office should be
retained for efficiency, not for partisan
ends, and should receive the same pay
and do the same amount of work as in
corresponding positions in private EN- !,
ployment. He declares against politi-
cal assessments; asserts that when cor
porations, by combination or otherwise,
Cypress the people they should be re-
strained; that labor should be pr detected
in peaceably asserting it's rights against
capital. He says the expenditure of
money to influence the action of the
people at the polls, or to secure legisla-
ton, is becoming so common as to ex-
cite the greatest concern.
The following is indirectly from the
President himself: President Arthur
is not troubled with Bright's disease, or
with any other kidney complaint, so
far as he knows. There has been no
consultation of physicians, or any real
or immaginary sickness affecting him.
He had cold some time ago, and his
physicians prescribed for that. When
he left Washington he was troubled
with malaria, but not in a severe form.
His physicians advised him to 60 inland
to get rid OF it. This was the reason of
his trip to the Thousand Islands. He
enjoyed himself very much while there
and has come back fully restored to
health. Any stories of the President
having chronic disease of any kind
are pure fabrications.
Sultan Pasha, President of the Cham
Der of Notables, thinks Turkish inter
vention in Egypt would mean anarchy.
He maintains that the cost of joint con-
troll is extravagant. and that f40O, 900
might be saved annually by the substi-
tuition of efficient native for foreign
officials. He admits that tie mass of
the population are unfit for represen-
tative government.
The breach between the Khedive and
the Sultan is widening, and is likely to
lead to an open rupture. The Sultan
has forbidden recruiting for the Khe-
dives body guard.
The Mormons, who are noted for
being fighters in Western politics, are
now using their entire energies and
considerable money to defeat Cassidy's
reelection to Congress, as also to pre-
vent the reelection of others who voted
against Cannon. A prominent Mormon
says: "You can rely on one thing.
We will beat Cassidy for Congress and
thus show that it is dangerous for out
siders to meddle in our matters. 1t
will take, probably. plenty of money.
A Republican Congressman from Cali
fornia will share the same fate. We
must protect ourselves"

Ward were arraigned before United
States Commissioner Bundy, charged

ant. They were accordingly commit

Jury.
