STATE ASSOCIATIONS.
Judge Lawrence Differs With Mr.. Eaton About
Tlieir Banefai Influence.

"Mr. Eaton has put up man Of straw and
then knocked IL down again." said Judge Law =
renee to REPUBLICAN, reporter yesterday
His letter on state associations does not apply
to any that l know of, and / have q pretty
good acquaintance with the constitutions and
bylaws of most of them, think. OF course
no one suppoSes that a state association could
levy assessments on its members for political
purposes, nor do they do SO. The Ohio asso-
citation amended its constitution when the
civil service law was passed, so as TO conform
to it, There Is nothing in that law to prevent
members of Il political party, whether mem
bers of the civil service or simple citizens,
from associating for the discussion of politics
and of the interests OF their party. They buy
no documents, they pay no railroad fares for
voters, and unless the constitution itself shall
be amended, there is no means of preventing
such exercise of the right of free speech and
free thought as these associations alone call
for"
"But Mr.. Eaton is afraid that the infusion of
democrats into the departments, which his
commission is accomplishing, may lead TO the
formation OF antagonistic associations"
suppose 1t does what then? There are
constant appointments OF democrats TO Office
under the new law. We have two in this
Office as the result of the latest appointments,
and they, with many others in the depart
ments, will be at the ratification meeting to-
night, just as was at the republican one
lately, yet We shall not fight a duel about II
iluT Will tut
ing here be in the least injured. The time
was when men hanged and burned each other
for opinions sake, but that Is happily past
81 shall go to Ohio next week TO make re-
publican speeches, the first time / have left
the department for year and for q less time
than am entitled to. Neither the civil-service
commission nor anyone else has any right to
say whether shall lie under a tree and sleep
or stand upon stump and talk while / am
taking my vacation. Blaine is going to have
almost walk over, and don't you forget it,"
The reporter said he wouldn't, and, wishing
the first comptroller pleasant and profitable
Journey withdrew.

A TRADE IN TICKETS,
1t Was Very Pleasant for One Man, but the
Other One Hates TO Think About II,

Two-fifths of the ticket which drew the capt.
tai prize of $4,000 in the Louisiana lottery last
Tuesday were sold in Washington. The agent
who sold them knows nothing about the man
who bought one-flth, but he has a very dis
tinct and unpleasant recollection of the de-
partment clerk who bought the other, although
he does not know his name. The agent had
put away some tickets for himself. 1t was
almost o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, the
day of the drawing, when department clerk
came in and asked him to give him ticket
with an even terminal number in place Of the
one with an odd number which he had 1t
was frequent thing for men TO be super
sttious about such things, or TO have dreams
and want to change tickets on account Ofthem,
and the agent very willingly took the ticket
which the clerk had and gave him in return

If the department clerk had not made the
exchange the agent would have won the sl5,.

that circumstance, and the reflection does not
make him cheerful.

Alleged SwindI;ug.

Yesterday the police arrested a man who
gives the name of James M. Coffin, for alleg-
cd swindling. Mr.. Whitney, of the firm of
Kendall & Whitney, sold the man a cultiva-
tor for $lO few days ago, on credit, as the
stranger represented himself as MIR. James E.
Coffin, of Shapleigb, man with whom the
firm has dealings, and who is a responsible
party, but man also who the firm has never
met Yesterday the firm heard that this Mr..
Coffin was seen about town drunk, and hunt
ing him up they found him at Daniel Frieps
boarding house where the police arrested him.
Coffin was intoxicated and could not give
an intelligent account of himself. In his Dos
session were found bills, unreceipted for tackle
ana blocks, to the value of $3.50, from T.
Laughlin & Son; for rubber goods to the
amount of $3.50 from the Hall Rubber Com.
pany; and from III. Ell. Nevens & Co., to the
value of $4 80 for spices. T. Laughlin & Sons
bill was made out to j. M. Coffin, the Hall
Rnbber Company's to Charles f. Goodwin,
and I'll. FL. Nevens s. Co.'s also to Goodwin.
There was also found in Coffin 8 pocket a mem
orandum book, in which he had inserted en-
tries, and this book bore the name of B. G.
Aimball, Scarboro, Oak Hill. Coffin tried to
explain that Charles f. Goodwin was his son.

I'm is locked up to await further DEVELOPMENTS
Friel says he took the goods mentioned above
in payment for Cofin's board.
