ST LOUIS, Nov. z Stephen W. Dorsey,
ex-senator, was interviewed by q Chronicle
reporter Saturday morning:
What do you think of the election result,
senator" "Oh, it won't effect business or
hurt the country in any way"
What defeated Blaine" That's wide
question. He's beaten, and there's no use of
abusing him now. Conkling didn't work
against him personally but his New York
friends knew what he wanted and acted
accordingly. But with Cleveland's behavior
toward the Democrats since he has been
governor of New York and since his nomina-
ton for..the presidency, putting half breeds
and independents into Office and ignoring
his party, am surprised at the vote he got
in the state"
what is your idea Of Clevelands future
policy' Hes going to surprise the Demo
crats, and the south especially. He'll be
Republican president as he has been governor
Dan Manning viii he his principal
adviser but he won't have around him any
such positive Democrats as John Kelly who
is one of the most honest, straightforward
men in the Democratic party, or any other
straghtout party man. Cleveland will fill
his cabinet with non-cOmmittal, half-breed
politicians Schurz will not go into the cabi-
net, but viii get some important Office.

to England and he will go thera

The New York senatorship.

New YORK, Nov. l7.-Anent the next
senatorship from New York, The Sun says
speaking of Arthur: But now he is regarded
as the best president who has been in The
White House since Abraham Lincoln. He i.
moderate, conservative, dignifed, judicious
and patriotic. We are not anxious t.
see Arthur elected to the senate II
fact, so far as he is concerned We SHOULD
be glad to have him take his place here il
New York again after he leaves Washington
He is a good lawyer, and would have grear
advantage in coming back here to practict
law. President Arthur should come bacl
here to New York and take his turn along
with the rest of US, the workingmen OF thi.
metropolis That is the right sort of thing
for president to do, and up to the present
time the right sort Of thing is what Arthur
has generally done"

wrecked by tramps Friday, consisted of two
baggage-cars, a mail and an express, two

and flames licked the finder like material
that had piled above the surface Of the
water, cutting off what retreat the
imprisoned passengers had. Everybody at
once became palSiod with fear except Charles
Brown, colored porter, who dipped up
water an threw it on the flames in time to
get them under control. He tben found the
train axes and placing them in the hands of
strong men, holes were cut for egresS, and
men escaped to set about preparing for the
rescue OF the dead and wounded. That work
was soon accomplished The mancled
bodies were placed upon improvised benches
and hunks, and a special train was ordered
from here. 1t hastened TO the scene and
soon returned with the dead and injured.

be, and ought to be made for perfectly legit-
innate reasons, he will respect the letter and
spirit of the reform law. and that non
political officers who have been honest and
effective in discharge of their duty, and who
have not missed their positions for party or

his character and convictions
