wOODFoRD's OPINION.

NEW YORK, Sept 28.-Gen. Woodford,
| United States district attorney for this sec
ton, has been interviewed by the Brooklyn
Eagle on the political situation. Gen.
Woodford said it is time for plain speak
ing, as there are issues at stake in New
York at this moment far reaching in con-
sequence. 1t is impossible to reach any
other conclusion but that fraud entered
into the nomination made by the repLbli-
can party at Saratoga. 1t was unfairly
effected.
1t is VAN for any republican to pretend
to be blind TO the facts. / cannot conceive
how | can serve my country or my party
by shutting my eyes to them. Fraud and
forgery were resorted to in order to influ
ence the action of the state committee and
the Judgment of the state convention
This wrong doing vitiates all the conven-
ton did. / have denounced the use of It's
sue ballots in South Carolina and of
rifles III Mississippi. Fraud is fraud,
whether committed in South Car
olina or in New York. Voting in the
name of others is as much fraud at Sara
toga as in Charleston. Honest men can't
submit TO it or tolerate it .anywhere. If it
triumphs in New York can we secure any
guarantee against 1t in shaping the action
of the Republican national convention?
Right and party safety are on the same
side. The best place to contend against
wrong is where it first makes it's appear
ance. In answer to the query. what is
the way ont of the difficulty" Gen. Wood
ford answered.: THE direct and honorable
way out is for Judge Folger to refuse TO
accept the nomination made under the
circumstances. He served in the senate
when had the honor of presiding over
that body, and have an affectionate, per
sonal regard for him. | admire him for
his ability and for his purity of character.

can party viii not indorse the methods

nomina ton"

THE NEW YORK CAMPAIGN.

BUFFALO, Sept. 29.-Political circles are
all agog over the visit of Gen. w. t. Sher-
man, who came yesterday to inspect the
military Notifications. 1t has been under
stood here for some time that the military
companies stationed at Fort Harbor were
to be ordered elsewhere at an early day;
but some officers are giving it out that sew
eral more detachments are to be
added to the forces now in garrison in
this section of the country. Last week the
Twelfth regiment was brought here from
Arizona, in number 500 men, most
of whom had enlisted in this state.
Another regiment came from the west
at the same time. They were sent in
detachments to Fort Niagara, Pittsburgh
and Madison barracks, although there is
not the slightest need of soldiers at these
points. To-day gossip has been busy as
signing a cause for all this material activity,
and it is not surprising that the political
twist takes part. The democratic cam
paign is going ahead with dash, carry ing
CONSERVATION into the enemy's camp. The
government at Washington will not scru-
pie in employing the best known means to
stem the tide. It is believed that the Mill
tary element will be manipulated in the
interest of Folger and the stalwarts. In
aggregate, the army vote is important, and
its influence is considerable. The clubs
are animated, after the discussion, and the
political managers have been studying the
chances with intense ZEAL since Gen. Sher-
man put in his appearance.

monds for pin. Above it all was one of
the huge English Derby hats with a great
curling brIm and heavy crown. He wore
yellow gloves, and carried stick with
twisted handle by its lower end, so that the
handle dropped nearly TO his feet. The
vacant stare completed the effect, and he
limped along while others envied him!

THE DRESS OF A SOCIETY MAN.

A New York letter writer describes the
appearance of young Belmont, brother of
the Congressman, who has just returned
from Europe, with an entirely new and
absolutely correct wardrobe
When saw him he was coming around
the corner of Twenty eighth street into
Fifth avenue, and the windows of the
swell little Kniekerbocker Club were
alive with weak-looking faces. eonvulsive-
~ holding the single eye glass, and gazing
eagerly at the latest imported clothes. The
young man Che is about 800 did not walk
easily. He had ON a pair of dead black
shoes, with untanned leather tops. They
were decorated by fancy stripes along the
side of the foot and over the toe, and were
so absurdly narrow that they looked like
deformed feet, and rendered the move
ments of the young man far from graceful,
though he struggled hard to preserve APP
pearances. His legs were covered by a
pair of trousers that were simply amazing,
so tight were they cut. It would be al
most impossible to sit down without split
ting them across the knee, as far as can
be judged from appearances. They were
as tight as eel skin all the way down, fit
ting around the ankles as suugly as
stocking. This remarkable expose of a
mans developments is not advisable when
his legs are not up TO the standard. The
trousers nquestion were very light green

THE GIVE SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-The New York
Herald this morning. in an editorial, after
alluding to the fact that President Arthur
has accepted an invitation to attend the
memorial service in honor of Daniel Web
ster, at Marshfield Mass, Oct 12, calls
attention to a letter written by Mr. Web
ster while secretary of state in President
Harrison's cabinet condemning the use of
government patronage in elections. 1t
then quotes the letter as follows:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE, March 20. 1S41.
To the Hon. Thomas Ewing. secretary
of the treasury-iSir: The President is of
opinion that it is a great abuse to bring
the patronage of the general government
into conflict with the freedom of elections,
and that this abuse ought to be corrected
wherever ii may have been permitted to
exist and to be prevented for the future.
He therefore directs that information be
given to all officers and agents in your
department of the public service that
partisan interference in the popular cleo
tions whether of state officers or of
officers of the (FederaD government for
whomsoever and against whomsoever it
may be exercised, or the payment of any
contribution or assessment or salaries or
official compensation for party or election
purposes, will be regarded by him as
cause for removal. 1t is not intended that
any officer shall be restrained in the free
and proper expression and maintenance of
his opinions respecting public men or
public measures, or in the exercise to the
fullest degree of the constitutional right of
suffrage. But persons employed under the
government and paid for their service out
of the public treasury are not expected to
take an active or officious part in attempts
TO influence the minds or votes of others,
such conduct being deemed inconsistent
with the spirit of the constitution and the
duties of the public agents acting under it
and the president is resolved, SO far as de
ponds upon him, that while the elective
franchise by the people shall be free from
undue influence of official station and
opinion shall also be free among
the officers and agents of the government.
Similar letters have been addressed to other
heads of departments. / have the honor
to be, sir, your obetlient servant.
DANIEL WEBSTER.

DODGING THE POINT.
State Register.

The State Journal refuses point blank to
define its position on the question of pro-
hibition. 1t says that prohibition is not
an issue-that 1.-The temperance people are
not asking for any additional legislation on
the liquor question" and therefore that the
Register is setting up man of straw when
it asks the Journal whether it is in favor of
prohibition. This is the most impudent
attempt to wriggle out of a tight place that
we ever heard of. The idea that the pro
hibitionists are not fighting for prohibition
is absurd. The Journal should not misrepre-
sent them. 1t is event to the Register and
doubtless equally SO to the public, that the
journal is, like the republican party, in
favor of prohibition, but afraid to say
so. 1t is trying to get prohibition ma
iority into the Legislature under false pre-
lenses, and when this is accomplished will
unmask and declare that there is no use
to wait for two thirds of legislature to do
what a simple ma ority can much better
accomplish. If, not, why not2

Jay Gould secured the nomination Of
his candidate at Saratoga, but he was not
successful in nominating his man at SYRIA
cuse. Mr. Gould is not politician or a
party man. He is a republican at repub-
lican conventions, and democrat at dem
ocratic conventions. 1t is his policy to
have reliable Gould man on both tickets
so that in no event can the result of the
election be unsatisfactory to him. Mr.
Flower, his democratic candidate for COVER
nor, however, was defeated, and Mr.. Gould
will, therefore, be likely to take an active in

the head of each ticket, he might have de
clined to contribute to the campaiea on
the ground that he would be equally as
well satisfied with the election of either.
But as the case now stands, the democrats
will probably be obliged to contend
against free use of monopoly money,
and it is known that Mr.. Gould has for

WhitlnWS,

Whitlows are among the most painful
ailments TO which we are liable Mos,
of the suffering, however. could b,
avoided if they were properly treated
and attended to at once. There are three
kinds of whitIows.
The least troublesome is an innamma-
ton of the skin on some part Of the fin
ger, generally due to an animal poison
absorbed in some slight scratch or abra-
sion. Cooks and poultry-dealers are
specially subject to it, from the hand
ling of ''high'' game. There is not
much swelling, but the inflammation
tends TO spread up the finger and the
hand. 1t is readily checked by apply
ing to it, and little beyond the rcddcn-
ed part. pretty strong solution Of
nitrate of silver.
The second kind of whitlow usually
appears about the nail. or the tip of the
finger, and is due to some slight. per-
haps unnoticed, injury. Pus forms
rapidly under the skin, and there is
severe, throbbing pain. This can be at
once and easily relieved by opening the
skin above it. If-as is sometimes the
case-it is under the nail, the pus NAV
be reached and let out by carefully cut
ting away the edge of the nail; or, if it
is near the roots, by pairing down the
nail with a sharp knife.
