Roscoe Conkling for Secretary of State.

ALABNY, N Y, Nov. lS.-A special to the
Albany Journal gives political gossip in New
York to the effect that Roscoe Conkling is to be
Secretary of State in case Cleveland is inaugu-
rated This, the dispatch says. is to be receipt
in full for all the boiling Republicans of what
ever name and nature, did for the Democrats in
the late campaign. Governor Cleveland was
asked by a correspondent if there was good
ground for the runnor He replied that he had
not before heard that Mr. Conkling's name had
been determined upon for the first place in any
Cabinet he might have to construct Il think"
said he, ''it would have been appropriate to con-
suit me before the final decision was made"

THERE is a chance of escape for those
negroes of the South who are in a state of ter
ror since the election for fear of being thrust
back into slavery. A California man is now
in ST. Louis for the purpose of arranging for
the conveyance of 1,500 Tennessee negroes to
the Pacific coast The intention is to employ
them on farms instead of Cinnamon. There
seems no good reason why the plan should not
be success, although it is spoken of as a
somewhat doubtful experiment Should the
negro labor prove satisfactory, it is expected
that many California planters will make the
change, and thus drive out Cinnamon, the
coast buebear

The Great Lake Misstassini.

QUEBEC, Nov 1S-F. H. Bignel, of this city,
who left in June last in command of the trans
port expedition to lake Nlsstassini, has returned.
He gives few particulars taken en- route. The
party, with great difficulty, reached the prov
inces northern boundary. They then crossed
into Rupert's Land, and at distance of $50 miles
from Lake St. John they reached the south
western extremity of the great lake Misstassini.
He states that the general trend of the lake. az
far as known, is from southwest to northeast,
stretching away from Foam bay in the southwest
to an unknown distance towards the east main
land of Labrador The waters swarm with fish
of all kinds, and fur-bearing animals are
abundant The climates agreeable and suitable
for agricultural purposes 1t is stated that
the Hudson Bay Company have had their agen-
cy there for upwards of one hundred years, but
have held it secret that lake of such dimen-
sion ever existed. 1t is supposed to be as large
as Lake Superior

THE Smoking hogs have again taken pos
session Of the late street cars. There was a
little lull in the indecency, caused possibly by
the steady attacks of the papers, but all re-
straints are now relaxed, and the
"hogs" have things again to them
selves. On Monday night the last car
was made practically uninhabitable. The
weather was cold, but the doors of the car had
to be kept open in order that two or three
passengers could keep their stomachs right
side up, tie driver laughing at the poor
people and keeping up a fire of jokes with
the "hogs," who greatly enjoyed the discom-
future of The decent people. We presume this
scandalous, shameful outrage will be~con-
tinued until we have Council and city officers
who are either not afraid of OF are not in the
interest of the street-car company. Some
time councimen and city officers will be
chosen to pay more attention to the rights of
the general public. In the meantime, the
journal will do its share in trying to create a
sentiment in that direction.

THE public has not heard much about Col
onel Lamont for several days, and must nat
urally wonder if he has got lest, or if any
accident has happened to him. Nothing
serious has happened Colonel Lamont is pos
sessed Of great mind but even great minds
tire, and he has gone away to rest his for a
brief period. The Colonel who, by the way,
gets his title by courtesy, is described as
sagacious, intellectual judge Of men, and
as having great executive ability. Indeed,
his requirements and abilities are so many and
varied as to cause surprise that he was not
nominated instead of Cleveland, who has
never been accused of possessing any of the
above qualifications However, it is supposed
that he will not desert his Micawber at this
critical point Of his career, but will continue
to be private secretary to Mr.. Cleveland dur
ing the presidential term, and will humbly
hide his own light by privately loaning it to
his master. The country is likely TO owe
something to Lamont if he has the massive
brain his friends claim for him AT all events,
it is qualification to know that the White
House is not to be without brains.

WHAT MIR. G0RHAM SAID,
Was Mr.. COnkling in a Conspiracy Against
Blaine as Early as June Last?

WHEELING, Nov. rs Mr. c. B. Hart. editor
of the Intelgencer prints interview he had
with George c. Gorham at Chicago last June in
the course of which Gorham said: 81 am Just
from Mr.. Conkling, and l am here to say for
him that he desires the nomination of Mr..
Blaine. He does not want to see another Hayes
nomination. 1t is his idea that the Republican
party ought to be just to its leaders, and coura-
geous enough to put forward one of them for the
presidency. 1t is evident that the popular ele-
ments of the party favor Blaine and we are
going to do what can for him."
But some of the New York stalwarts are
saying that Blaine can't carry New York. and he
would be beaten by 900 majority, and they
assure me at the business mems headquarters
that Arthur can carry the State by more than
that"
THAT is nonsense, said Mr. Gorham scarcely
giving me time to come to a stop. There are
no longer stalwarts or half breeds in New York.
You know it was Arthur's appropriately that
overwhelmed Folger and made Cleveland Gov
crnor In our judgment Blaine is the best man
in the field for New York Arthur is an absurd
suggestion You might well run Folger But
there is no use talking, Blaine is the man. This
convention is going to nominate him"
"Will Mr.. Conkling take active part in the
campaign2 1t has been said that he is through
with politics, and devotng himself to the pur-
sui OF lame ana money at the bar
81 can't say just what Mr.. Conkling will do,
but he wants Blaine nominated, and l think he
will find time to give some attention to the Re
publican canvass
Mr.. Hart continues Mr.. Gorhams manner
conveyed the impression of sincerity and en-
thusiasm, and he did go to work in serious
earnest for Blaine There was nothing to indi-
cate that there a conspiracy. l did not
suspect that Mr.. Conkling was engaged in a
last effort to assassinate Mr. Blaine as public
man.
The present talk about the treachery of Mr..
Conking and his friends recalls another CONVEX
sation this time with friend of Mr.. Conkling,
who had visited him after the moral character
warfare began Mr. Conkline said the present
situation was peculiar one. One nominee had
found it necessary to obiterate the record of his
childs tombstone to prove that his offspring
came honestly by his name, and to get the rec
ord of the other nominee the opposing party was
searching the registers Of certain low resorts in
Buffalo There less circumocution and
delicacy of phrase than this. but this will serve
the present purpose. Conklng justified Cleve-
lands private career aud quoted history to show
that great rulers had been strong in their ami
nalism. My friend told me that he had never
heard Mr. Conkling so eloquent, and, though he
did not like what lie was saying, he would have
listened for a week. He thought that Mr..
Conkling was glad to have an audience, though
a small one, to listen while he raked Mr.. Blaine"

Baden may or may not have done cuts no

criminal intent, did it precisely as the Demo

steal the franchise from better men than they
are. Unless the law is a farce, and the suf-
frage not worth protection, District Attorney

an A H., in a letter in the Cincinnati
Enquirer, very properly sizes up the war of
the roses now in progress between the rival
Indiana Democratic leaders. AS usual, the
Journal predicts that Mr.. Hendricks, the
most selfish, cold blooded, grasping politician
in the country, will outgeneral bluff blunt,
good -natured Joe Mcdonald. Read the his
tory of the Democratic party in Indiana It
has been Hendricks-ridden from 1860 to the
present time. Not a young man or a new
man who would not bow to him and give his
personal and political allegiance to him has
ever been allowed to show his head above the
general level. This is the calm, cold fact
and every Democrat in Indiana knows it. 1t
is not new thing or strange thing for the
Journal to say, and it does not spring from
any disrespect for Mr. Hendricks. Even the
Democratic State organ declined to print a
eulogistic editorial regarding Mr.. Hendricks,
because it knows him in just the character
here depicted

ecutive in the person of mayor who

directly responsible to the citizens and
taxpayers indianapolis has entered, or
is entering, upon precisely the same path of
misgovernment which has made New York a
by-word and kissing. There is but one end
toit-whether that end come soon or later
and that is the institution of a strong direct,
responsible executive, Board government is
inefficient, and tends TO corruption, no matter
whether the boards be city boards or State
boards. In the latter, however, the evil is in
tensi-ied because the responsibility is further
removed. We sound the alarm here and now,
and say to the Taxpayer and people of Indi-
annapolis that Democratic supremacy means an
era of high taxation increased debt, and in
efficient and corrupt administration. This is
the teaching of experience where Democracy
has been in power; it is the philosophical out
come of such principles and methods as mark
its purposes and work in this State.

''There we're not Democrats enough in the
country to elect a President, and there will
