ANOTHER FoLGER DEsERTIoN.

ANOTHER FOLGER DESERTION.
ELMIRA. N. Y, Oct. 3.-Tbe Havana
Itemiser, a republican newspaper of
Schuyler county, started by the friends
of Garfield two years ago, refuses to
support the republican state ticket and
declares for the democratic candidates,
at the same time supporting the repub-
lican local nominations.
CURTIS ON FoLGER.
Geo. VIM. Curtis in letter to the
secretary of the New York civil service
association says: Judge Folger's
ability and character are not in ques-
ton, but his nomination is. That
nomination was procured by power of
fraud and patronage, and to support it
at the polls would be to acquiesce
in fraud and patronage as the
legitimate forces In the nominating
convention. Every good citizen is
bound to resist to his utmost to such a
wrong to free institutions, and the only
efectual way in which voters can
emancipate themselves from the cor
rupt and debasing roll of the machine
is defeat in candidates. This, believe,
will be done decisively by the republi-
can voters in New York and Penn
sylvanja at the election this
autumn. They will see their
party defeated rather than fraud
and corruption of patronage trium-
phant. Events in both states show no
graver political peril now confronting
the country than the complete subju-
cation of party by unscrupulous cabals
which bribe with public employment,
and pay their way by filching from the
pablo treasury. This evil which will
end in violence unless it is conclusive
ly rebuked by the people at the polls.
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS.
CHICAGO, Oct. S-rhe democratic
state central committee, in session here
this afternoon, decided to make push

lature by nominating two out of the
representatives in the districts where
heretofore, under minority represents
tion, they have been content with one,
and in democratic districts nominate
full representations there republican
primaries first district, south division of
Chicago, and adjoining towns held this
afternoon, indicate the nomination OF

ANOTHER trusted man has fallen.
John F. Burrill, late Grand Secretary
of the Grand Lodge of Masons in Illi-
nois, has been arrested for the embez-
Element of some $1,000 OF the Grand
Lodge funds while he was Secretary in
1879 and 1850. A Minneapolis dispatch
dated Saturday night, says; Something
of Il sensation was created here this
evening by the ground facts of what
was at first limited to te case of
mysterious disappearance. John F.
Burrill, of Springfield, Ill.,, had not been
seen at his desk in the Minneapolis and
St. Louis Railway office since last week
Friday, nor could his wife or family give
any account of him. 1t now transpires
that he was arrested and taken back TO
springfield on a charge of having en-
bezzled 5000 while acting as Treasur-
er Of the Masonic Grand Lodge of
Illinois. Burrill was taken before Jus.
tice Kane in Springfield, and, waiving
examination, was sent to Jail in defa ult
of $1,000 bail. - The arrest of Burrill
caused good deal of excitement, but
not much surprise, among the Masonic
fraternity. Some two years ago Burrill
achieved notoriety, through his divorced
wife stating, in a newspaper interview,
that he had obtained fraudulent di.
vorce from her without her knowledge
This sensation was Immediately follow
ed by an application for divorce of
Burrill from his wife. Burrill appears
to be "bad egg"

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET ENDORSED.
ALBANY, n. Y, Oct. 3.-The state
committee of the anti, monopoly party
endorse unreservedly Hepburn, the
republican congressman at-large, hav-
ing declined, and the entire democratic
ticket. In an address to the people it
is proclaimed that anti-monopolists
recognize capital as well a. labor, and
appreciate the benefits which corpora
tions and organization has conferred
upon the human race. We will labor
as steadfastly to maintain the right of
corporations as to enforce the observ-
ance of their duties, but the time has
come when the people must
organize and work to counteract the
malign influences which have become
so potent in all political parties to oblige
those parties to live up to their profes-
sions and restrain the power for evil
welded by few unscrupulous men
who have obtained control of the great
forces of the country, and who in their
use recognize no principles of action
but personal or corporate aggrandize-
ment. Samuel F. Carey was among
the speakers at the mass meeting to-
night.

party given at Delmonico's by some oi
the most distinguished republican resi-
dents of this city and its neighborhood
in honor of Stephen W. Dorsey's ser
vices in the presidential campaign OF
1880, the republican party has been
embarrassed in repelling the allega-
tions of its adversaries that it is impure
in respect to the application of money
to influence political canvasses.
The embarrassment arises from the
| fact that that gathering was a repre-
sentative one, and that it applauded
Mr.. Dorsey's pecuniary proceedings in
the October election of 1880 in Indiana
as a IL gitimate agency by which that
state was carried for the republicans,
with the success of the republican
presidential ticket the nexs month as a
consequence.
As to the representative character of
the gathering we have the authority of
President Arthur himself. He was one
of the after-dinner orators, and said:
If YOU look for the measure of the apprecia-
the ea ure of be regard in which his friends all
through this country hold him, look around you,
a you will see the m Jst distinguished gathering
of repub ic n aders and republican ntiment
that to my knowle e. in my b,lef life evee met
in this city.
The array of persons at the table will
confirm Mr.. Arthur's assertion to any
body who cares to turn back to the
press reports and inspect their names.
With regard to the wrestling of Indi-
ana from the democrats by the use of
money, Mr.. Arthur was equally explicit.
He said:
Indiana was really, suppose, a democratic
state but it had been put down on the books as
a state that might be carried by clese and per-
feet organization and great deal of - Mr..
Arthur here paused. and the conclusion of bis
sentence-if he brought it to a conclusion-was
inau liable through laughter. see the report
ers are present, and therefore [ will simply say
that everybody showed great deal of interest in
the occasion and distributed tracts and political
documents all through the state.
The corrupt uses of money which
possible in New York canvass are
evident without going far into details.
The same sort of medicine" which is
expected to cure "the political stomach
ache" of the republican party is ex-
pected also to buy over venal demo-
Gratis to the support of the republican
ticket.
The chances of Mr.. Cleveland's elec-
ton depend on the rebellion of the
moral sense of the people of New York
against a corrupt and revengeful re-
publican canvass.

FoLGEF AND THE PRESIDENT

| cOLJEit AND IhE PRESIDENT.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct 3.-A special dis
patch from Washington to the Times,
says: "The uncertainty which sur
rounds the movements of Secretary
Folger is the chief subject of specula-
| ton here. There is no doubt IN any
body's mind but that Folger will soon
er or later retire from the treasury, and
that it will not depend upon the result
of the election in New York. Presi-
dent Arthur is very anxious indeed to
get Folger out of the cabinet, and all
the pressure possible is being brought
to bear to get him to resign. 1t was
believed that the nomination for gov
ernor would make the desired vacancy
without any further bother, but Folger
is in peculiar position, and does not
like being driven out.
POSTOFFICE REFORM.
The postoffice department is indeav-
oring to stop the practice of the post,
masters using money from the sales of
| stamps in their own business, while re-
| porting to the department they have
stamps on hand. One postmaster or
dered $4,000 in stamps and sold al
most Immediately 5000 worth, but he
| reported to the department he had
only sold about $500 worth.
DIsGUsTED REPUBLICANS.
The position of the administration
towards southern politics Is creating
much Comment here. The clean re-
publicans are very much disgusted
and feel that the party can but suffer
through President Arthur's ill-advised
policy. 1t is the policy of the machine
and not policy pursued from prin-
ciples.
E. B. Cash, 0. South Carolina, the
professional duellist who provoked and
kllleL Mr.. Shannon two years ago, is an
independent candidate for congress
under the special patronage of the ad-
ministration.
In Virginia the party of moral ideas
has adopted Malone, the repudiator,
to illustrate its devotion to honest
money. In Mississippi it has adopted
Chalmers, the hero of the Fort Pillow
massacre, to prove the sincerity of its
past denunciatiou of that crime. And
now it adopts Cash, the blood-stained
duelist, to show its horror Of that relic
of barbarlsm
Malone, Chalmers, and Cash are
taken up and favored by the admins
tration, while upright and honorable
republicans in the south, who never
wavered in their political fidelity, are
discarded as unworthy OF trust. This
is the policy which we are told is to
degenerate the SOUTH"
When Mr.. Dezsndorf, the present
republican member from the Norfolk
district in congress, and the actual
candidate of the regular republicans
for reelection, called upon the presi
dent to demonstrate against the use of
federal patronage to defeat him, he
vas informed that the bargain with
Malone must be carried out. Dezen-
dort refused to wear the collar of the
repudiator, or to join the corrupt coali-
ton. For this, and for no other rea-
con, he is prescribed by the admins
tration, which processes to stand Tor the
republican party and to represent re-
puslican principles.

Begging for More Money.
HuBBELL OVERWHELMED WITH IMPLoR
ING Grsorrrs7S rop c.sxY

Il
| ING REQUESTS FOR CASH.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Jsy Hubbel re-
turned yesterday. He brought hack .
troubled spirit and q beard that has
whltened perceptibly during his alb
sence. He pretends not to mind the
comments that his blackmailing sys-
tenn of levying assessments has caused,
but he has learned that something or
other has set the tide against the sue
cess of his efforts as chairman of the
republican congressional committee.
1t was this knowledge that brought
him back so unexpectedly yesterday,
and caused him to hold very late
I conference with some of his assistants
| 1t the room of the committee last night.
This morning Hubbel looked even
more grim and stern than usual, and
he answered questions in manner
that showed that his mind was far
away.
The fact is, the committe has been
| receiving some very distressing reports
OF late, and is overwhelmed with i'm
ploring requests for money. The pros
pect is bad. Districts that were count
ed as surely republican now report that
1t will take sweat and money to carry
them, while the doubtful districts be-
seech HubheR for aid of his peculiar
kind to save them. Here are letters
from Connecticut, in which it is plainly
stated that the states delegation will be
reversed, so that it will stand three
democrats 10 one republican unless
Hubbell helps literally Not so many
demands come from New York, but
Pennsylvania holds out both hands, and,
although It has already received = big
proportion of the money, begs for
more. Hubbell frowns as he learns
that the chances are that the demo-
Gratis will capture Harmcr's district in
Philadclphia, unless sum of money,
and not paltry one, is furnished.
In Virginia it looks very squallv.
The latest reports indicate that Ma
hone is losing his grip, and if the demo-
Gratis had not nominated Massey. who
was an original repudiator, and is one
now, they would have elected their
mali But Malone is not going to de-
liver any seven administration con-
gressmen, rs he promised, un-
less Hubbell furnishes more money.
Elsewhere i'll the south the reports in
dicate that the bottom has fallen out Of
the Chandler Chalmers style Of break
ing down the regular democracy, and
the call is for money.
But from Ohio come the worst re-
ports. Hubbell is brought face to face
with the truth that there seems to be
great danger there of an 1874 tidal
wave over again. Amos Townsend has
run on here to tell the truth, and be
frankly admits that both of the Cincin-
natl districts are lost, and probably the
Marietta district. He also says that
Frank Hurd will be elected in the To-
ledo district. Hubbell is urged by his
love for the party to do all he can to
prevent democratic delegation from
coming here from Ohio. There are
better reports from Indiana than from
some other states, but it is the same
story all along the line.
