WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Secretary Fol
ger is to-day engaged, in his private
room at the Treasury Department, writ
ing his annual report to be sent to the
House of Representatives next Monday,
and access to him is denied to every one.
His private secretary says, however, that
there is 10 truth whatever in the report
that Secretary Folger has rendered his
resignation.
In an interview with a representative
of the Associated Press at o'clock this
afternoon Secretary Foiger denied in the
most positive words that he had rendered
his resignation. and said further that tho
matter had never been referred to either
the President or himself
The rumor concerning Secretary foi-
gers resignation originated probably
| nom the fact that the lease of Secretary
| Folyer's residence in this city will expire
on that date. But whatever credence
the rumor received ON that account is
| entirely destroyed by the additional fact
that Secretary Folger has, within the
last few days, renewed the lease of his
present residence here for another yeal
| from the 10Th proX.

THE OFFICIAL UPHEAyAL.

1t is stated authoritatively that no
further removals in connection with the
Star Route eaSes are contemplated by
the President at present; at least no
further action of that character is pend
NO. This would seem to indicate that
there is no foundation for the rumors IN
circulation that Public Printer Rounds
and District Attorney Corkhill are to be
dismissed. 1t is known, however, that
several officers of subordinate grade
are to be removed. They are incum-
bents of offices filled by Presidential ap-
pointment. 1t is believed that the sus-
pected officials are in the Post Office
Department.
Senator Logan had an interview with
| the President at the White House this
afternoon in connection, it is said. with
the retention in Office of Public Printer
Rounds. District Attorney Corkhill had

SPEAKING of Buffers chances for the
Democratic nomination for President, the
New York Tribune says: ." We shall view
his wooing of the national Democracy
with great interest, and we say frankly
at the outset that he has our best wishes.
He is pertinacious and energetic wooer.
but he has won the consent of naughty
and unwilling Massachusetts. and after
that any success is possible. Rebutis de
not discourage him, and ridicule and con
temptuous observations he treats with
lofty Indifference. The Democracy will
do we'll to harden its heart and double its
Outposts. The siege will be rather a
quiet and stealthy Que at first, but it will
wax holder and more open as the end ap-
proaches. Massachusetts, was at first in
dignant; then disgusted; then thoroughly
frightened; and then there was a feeble
shrek and final surrender. 1t would be
IN immense joke to see the national Dem
"cracy follow this programme during the
next eighteen months.

LAST Winter General James r. Chalm-
ers, of Mississippi, was ousted from the
National House of Representatives. and
his seat was given to Lynch the Republl-
eau contestant, Chalmers having been
given the credentials by the Governor be-
cause Lynch's ticket had a printer dash
between the names which was declared
to be distinguishing mark and thus a
violation OF law. The pretext was so
flimsy that even the Democrats wouldn't t
stand up for Chalmers, whereupon he got
mad and at the last election ran as lnde
pendent. But it appears that he is beaten
by resort to similar game to the one by
which he got the credentials over Lynch
two years ago. The Secretary Of State
has awarded his credentials to his Demo-
cratic opponent because on the tally
sheet OF Tate county the tally keepers
report 14i2 votes for James r. Chalmers.
The tickets voted read James r. ChalnI-
er but the tally keepers spelled the name
wrong on the tally sheet. The pretex,
is even worse thau the one used by
Chalmers against Lynch, but any pretext
Is good enough for southern official t.
give the credentials to a Democratic
member. 1t is not believed that the Dem
ocratic majority in the next House will
let Chalmers in.

Attempt To Wreck a Train.

PITTsBURG, August 17.-An at
tempt was made TO night to wreck
an excursion train, with five hundred
passengers, on the Pittsburg and
Lake Erie Railroad. 4 short time
before the train was due at the de-
pot the dispatcher sent an engine
down the road on some business.
When about four hundred yards
from the depot the engine crashed
into a tie fastened to the track.
Neither engineer nor fireman were
injured, though the engine was slight
" damaged. Every effort is being
made to discover the perpetrators OF
the deed and the railroad company
has offered a reward of five hundred
dollars for information that will lead
to their detection. The obstruction
was placed on "A trestle twenty-five
feet high, with the river below.

THE MAN WILL REASON

Mr.. Stewart, who is running by
order of the Wolfe gang for governor,
seems anxious to have himself, or
the fact, us extensively advertised as
possible, and to that end has invit-
ed Joint discussion OF matters in
ISSUE in the campaign. If Mr..
Stewart is the republican he claims
we might imagine what there is TO
be discussed with Gen Beaver, who
holds the vantage of the regular
nomination Mr.. Stewards propo-
sition to discuss issues would have
been more germane had it been ad-
dressed to Mr.. Pattison, the demo-
cratic nominee. Or has Mr.. Stew
art no issue with Mr.. Pattison and
the democracy, and is he a confeder-
ate to defeat the republican party ?
He was not candidate before the
regular republican convention,
makes no pretence of having been
defrauded of hearing or considera-
ton iE that body, does not dispute
the regularity of Gen. Beavers nom-
ination, nor assert that he was not
the clear choice of very large ma
jority of the republicans ofihe state.
What is his grievance What issue
can he possibly have with Gen. Bea-
yer? Cameron Well, Cameron is
neither Beaver nor the republican
party. He is member of the re-
publican party, and as such can an
swer FOR himself for any misdeeds
be may be guilty Of or be charged
With. Whv should Gen. Beaver he
mallg,.ed and the republican party
defeated becaaee Charley Wolfe has
a persons: grievance with Cameron :?
What has the Republican party to
do with personal disagfeements
among its members? Mr.. Stewart,
if he is the republican he asserts
himself, should narrow his attorney
ship for Wolfe Il Co. to the individ-
f-ot controversy and not caa,- IN =,
vOivE shc whole party in a quarrel.
This is sc pisir TO the most ordina-
ry comprehension Gas coming to be
clearly realized that we ars pat sur
prised at the steady depletion OF the
so-called independent ranks as the
csaEess progresses.-Le,cistorn Ga

THE Observation-Disclosures
combination in this county is begin
ming to crop out. 1t is now current
ly reported that the Democratic and
Independent bosses have made their
bargain. The Democrats will not
put a county ticket in the field, but
will support the Independent ticket
TO be nominated in a couple OF
weeks. In return for this assistance
the Independents are expected to
vote for General Coffroth for Con-
gress. This is a repetition Of the old
glme played four years since, when
the Democrats and Independents
ran q mixed ticket. Coffroth was
elected and the Independents were
left.

One Hundred and Fifty Thousand
Dollars in Bonds Stolen.

ALBANY, n. Y, Aug. l7.-0ne of
the boidest crimes ever committed
in this vicinity occurred Ut West
Charlton, Saratoga County, about
ten miles west of Saratoga, about 3
O'Clock Wednesday night. At that
hour five masked men suddenly en-
tered the house Of Supervisor Thom-
as NJ. Gilchrist. a neat and well-fur-
nished residence, some distance from
his nearest neighbor. Mr.. Gilchrist,
his brother and MS sister were alone
in the house and were astonIshed at
the sudden entry of the strangers.
whose faces We're concealed by close
fitting masks. The truth at once
! flashed upon Supervisor Gilchrist,
and when the leader of the gang de-
nlanded that he keep silence, and
the same time seized him, he resisted
with all his power. He was struck
upon the head and body with re-
voiver, and was quickly shackled in
such way that he could move nei-
ther hand nor foot A part Of the
gang also seized the Supervisors S
brother, and without giving him OPP
portunity to resist shackled him and
dragged both men gagged and bound
to the cellar, where they were tied
secure with ropes to Il post, and left
helpless. Supervisor Gilchrist was
bleeding and suffering severely from
his wounds, but beyond offering him
glass of water he was left in misery
by the Villains. Mr.. Gilchrist's SIS
ter, who had been ordered to keep
still on penalty of death, was told
that no harm would befall her il
she would simply obey. Her hands
were tied and she was led into a
chamber and bound to n bedpost SO
securely that the shackies almost cut
into her hands.
s150,000 IN BONDS TAKEN.
A robber was left on guard over
the brothers in the cellar, and one
over the sister, while the other three
speedily opened an iron safe in the
house in which the Supervisor kept
his money and securities. Eight
hundred dollars and some valuable
papers, including Government bonds
to the amount of $4,000 We're
stolen, and the robbers warning the
family not TO attempt to escape,
quietly left. The whole affair was
soon over As soon as the thieves
had gone Supervisor Gilchrist's sis
ter made an effort to release herself,
and after very hard work got one
hand free and speedily loosened the
other. She hurried to find her
brothers, and quickly cut the cords
that bound them. The police al
Schenectady, Troy and Albany were
notified at once, but not a single clue
was left by the robbers, and it is
feared that the lead they have on
their pursuers will enable them to
escape.

Bold Bank Robbery q.

KEwANEE, H.. August l5.-Yes-
terday afternoon two men called at
the First National bank in this city
and asked permission to leave their
satcbels there short time About
6 O'Clock. while Cashier Pratt and
Miss Palmer, q lady assistant. were
closing up, the nen knocked at the
door and asked for the satchels.
Miss Palmer opened the door and
was seized by the neck by one of the
men who then kicked her ne& rly
insensible. The other man rushed
by her towards, the vault near which
Pratt was standing, and struck him
en- the head with u revolver, knock
ing him sel,seless. Pratt and Miss
Palmer We're then forced into the
vault. The BURGERS secured about
s20000. of which 5000 was COLA
and left the town. Miss Palmer and
the cashier, after remaining impris
oned over an hour, succeed in
breaking the lock and releasing
themselves. They are both badly
injured. Parties are securing the
country in every direction, but with
out result up to midnight.

THE Independent leaders cannot
deny, and the rank and file of the
Independent party are glad enough
to admit, that personally General
Beaver is a good and fit man to be-
come Governor of this Common
wealth. He is the nominee of the
Republican party. and the Inde-
pendents profess to have the success
of the Republican party at heart.
To those who know nothing further
of the matter than this, there would
be an unfathomable mystery in OPP
posing General Beaver by Republi-
cans. Those who are familiar with
the further purposes of the leaders
of the movement must be aware
that grounds upon which opposition
is founded are as untenahle as their
action is mysterious. The cry is
that the opposition is to boss rule. "
What did General Beaver ever boss E?
He bossed q regiment and subse-
quently a brigade until the loss of a
leg deprived him of his power to do
further military bossism. Since
then he is out of the bossing busi-
ness and the mystery of opposition
on this ground is not lessened TO
those who have not the real KEY to
de movement. If civil service re-
form consists in keeping men in Of
flee it has no application to this
subject because the present incum.
bent Of the Guhernatorial chair is
not candidate. Gf civil service re-
form consists in appointing satisfac-
tory subordinates. General Beaver
has not violated this prinGp.s, hav-
ing never made such appointments.
The truth is, put in very few words,
there is no ground OF opposition to
General Beaver, by any Republican,
than that certain citizen is said TO
desire his election. To saw that
sues u sufficient ground upon which
10 opposs = candidate in every wise
trustworthy sad lft for the office is
an insult to the intelligence of really
Independent and reasonspg men.
Only political fanatics, or men @s....n
pessonal interests st stake would
oppose < worthy candidate for such
reason. The question in Pennsyl.
vania is whether flalignity of per-
sonal nature shall be s;;sited upon
ore who is entirely innoces,. by
word or deed of any cause giving
rise'to it.-Piasbugh Telegraph.
