ex-senator Powell Clayton. The question Of
thorough organization of the party. and a
vigorous and aggressive campaign, with q com
plete ticket from Governor to Township Con-
stable, was warmly discussed and enthusiss-
tically indorsed. The prevailing sentiment
was that the ald-timers, men with a record,
must take back seat and allow younger and
less objectionable leaders to come to the
front. 1t is claimed that ample fnancial as
sistance has been promised the new move
ment from Washington. The objec. of the
leaders will be to plsce ticket in the field
composed OF conservative resident citizens.
and by whatever means possible draw around
it the support and cooperation Of all the dis
! affected political elements. Hon. L0gap HI.
Roots, President of the Merchants National
Bank of this city, has been selected as leader.
1t is certain that the Republicans propose to
make vigorous fight during the next cam
paign, and it may be equally positively as
| serted that some one other than Senator
Powell Clayton will lead the movement, or
that there will be war in the camp Of the
Republicans. A telegram was sent last night
to President Arthur by unanimous vote,
denouncing Powell Clayton and some of his
recommendations.
The Star Route Cases.
| WASHINGTON, January 2Oth.-Ihs cause
Of the delay in the straw bond star route
cases thus far has arisen from the defense in
sisting upon the Identification of every bid
and contract introduced as evidence The
prosecution, By clever manenver, had all
these papers examined and identified privately
by Notary Webster, who originally witnessed
them, and this morning created rather SEN
sation in Court by calling Webster and
| Blacknan to the stand and proving the
| papers in bulk. A strong obj ectior was made
/ by the defense at this action, but it was over
ruled by the Court. The examination, in
consequence, will be much shortened. The
defense denounced this private examination
as "a star chamber proceeding" and mani
tested much feeling on the subject.
