Nj St. John is out IN another denial OF all and
several OF the charges against him of having bar
gained Or sold oct during the last campaign. He
denies that he made an agreement with s. L.
Eikins not to attack Elaine in his speeches. o. that
he ever proposed for consideration or otherwise
to withdraw from the canvass, or hy act, word or
deed 10 do anything for the purpose of lessening
the prohibition vote or increasing the vote of the
old parties. Nor Gid he ever receive q single
penny, pledge or promise of any kind in colnec-
ton with the campaign, except his expenses paid
by the national prohibition committee.
OF the charge that he sold out, MIR. ST. John says:
"I have no personal acquaintance with either Mr.
Cleveland or Mr.. Hendricks or any member of the
national democratic committee; nor did ever have
any Transaction, communication or understanding,
either directly or Indirectly, with either OF said
committee or any person Claiming 10 act for or IN
any way to represent the democratic party either
state or national In relation 70 the campaign lust
closed or any other subject whatever. Nor did the
democratic party, so ar a know, ever attempt 20
communicate with me"
These den1als are specific and positive, 1t VIII be
seen, and in the absence of anything more definite
In the way OF proof than tie vagu- charges a1oat
against him ought TO be accepted as the truth.
IL Congressman Robinson's Jerrersonian fnaugu-
ration plan Is carried one OF the rst duties OF
the newly appointed Inauguration committee viii
W.
Cleveland where they may be found on the 4th OF
March next at noon. He VIII then take the stage
at Albany and come down the turnpike 10 New
York, and thence by slOcp to Alexandria After
resting at the tavern in that city, he VIII put on
new pair OF AMI black silk stockings
and with cocked-hand under his left arm, Will he
fowed up the river to Georgetown. The police, or
rather the watch, will now clear the streets OF all
citizens and pull down such American flags and
notices OK rejoicing and welcome as may be dis
played The mOiern wings OF the Capitol and all
the public buildings save the city hall and a few
others that cannot by any construction be accused
or savortng Of monarchical grandeur win then be
removed by dynamite. Mr.. Cleveland Will then
call on the chief justice, and, with that gentleman
VIII proceed to the Capitol, take the oath OF Office
and 50 home. But probably that plan woat be
adopted by Congress or the committee.
Although Mr.. Blaine is immersed IN literature
and President Arthur Is Tot q candidate 1t Is s,ls
pected that both feel and are taking an active per-
sonal interest in the present canvass Of the New
York state legislature for the senatorship. AS it
happens the tar!n, which, like the "vexed Ber-
moothes" lives in very stormy latltudes, comes In
70 aggravate the fight, though It Is not likely that
the average New York legislator Will hinge his
vote on whether Arthur, Morton. or Evarts is the
best protectionist. Protection. with the average
politician, begins at home. 1t Is distinctly 'local
tsue," and the locality consists Of himself.
lt IL broadly intimated by the knowing ones
that the action taken By Judge Macarthur toward
preventing the proposed fox hunt to-day, though
apparently In behalf Of Reynard was really in the
interest OF those who announced their intention to
tide after him The Judge Is one Of the kindest
hearted men IN the world and does much good by
stealth.
In the same breath the agitated London Times
announces that there is not the slightest clue to
the authors Of the dynamite EXPLOSION at London
