Fridays Philadelphia Prem the following
Item appears: In the corridors Of the
Senate met gentleman from Delaware,
who is an ardent Admirer of Senator
BAysrd, and who did good work for him
at Chicago. He did mot believe that
Cleveland would give the construction
Of his cabinet serious thought
until the 9Th Of January, and
then-wsll, he oouldn't say whether
BSyArd would be In the state
paper paragraphs coupling the treasury
Herman Of New York. "Well," replied
the BaySrd man, ~ don't know whether
he will get II or not, but he deserves It for
there was no ore man in Chicago, who
did more to defeat BAyArd's nomination
than this same Francis Herman. Cleva-
land should be grateful"
DROPPING THE IBRL SUIT.
II was said In New York, Thurrday,
that Mr.. BlAine's libel suit against the
Indianapolis Sentinel is likely to fall
through by reason OF an informality in
the proceedings, orrA.her the prooesed
iugB will be barred. II seems that the
Sentinel people, In one OF the motions con.
tanning Undergraduates, asked that, IL Mr..
Blaine failed to answer them, an injunc.
ton issue egainst his further pursuing
the case. The judge directed the ques
lions to be forwarded to Mr.. Blaine. II
was not understood that ne ordered the
| injunction In case Of refusal to answer.
No replies were made. 1t ia now asserted
that the order OF the judge transmitting
the interrogatories was also an injunction
In case OF refusal.
sLERP1EG CARS FOR DEMOCRATS.
The Philadelphia Record has the fol.
lowing "It all the Democrats 90 to
Washington on the 4.h Of March who
declare their intention Of doing 30 there
Will not be cars enough to carry them"
said an official Of the Pullman Palace Car
Company. "We have received bushels
Of applications for our cars, and II the
thing keeps up we must order more cars
built. To merely transport the people
from PhilAdelphia would make train
great many miles long. And everybody
Is willing to pay good prices for cars
The Cleveland men are bowling for
sleepers sill over the country to take
them to the inauguration and back.
am afraid many Of them will howl in
vain, because We muat soon stop taking
orders"
BULLDozING DEPUTIES SCARED.
Now that 1t is apparent that the con-
duct Of the deputy mArshals in Ohio at
the October election will be thoroughly
investigated, some Of these same deputies
are beginning to sqirm in very amusing
way. They assert that they were not ap.
pointed; that they wore the badges OF
deputies 'just fol- fun," and did not
make use OF them at all with official
authority. Members Of the committee are
making note Of these funny
gentlemen and will bring 10
bear upon them a law approved
April 18th, 1884, which provides that any
person who, with intent to defraud the
United States, falsely assumes to be an
officer or employe acting under authority
Of the United States, shall be guilty Of &
, felony and liable to q fine Of not more
than 81 900 or imprisonment not Longer
than three years, or both. Lawyers O
the committee say this law renders liabl,
those persons who wore deputy badgei
but who say they had no appointment.
