A CONFLICT IN NEW YoRK.-The rea-
tons between the republican national COM
mittee and the State committee OF New
York are greatly strained. The national
committee is in full control of the Blaine
managers, who are all half breeds. On the
other hand, the State committee is in full
control of the stalwarts, Arthur's particular
friend James D. Warren, of Buffalo, being
the chairman.
The Blaine bosses are unwilling to leave
the management of the canvass in that State
in the hands of Mr.. Warren, and his friends,
who they say is not enthusiastic for the
ticket.
For sometime, it is said, E1kins and his asso-
ciates have been trying to shield Mr.. Warren and
his friends BY endeavoring to secure the appoint
ment of subcommittee to have sole control of
the State canvass. This sub committee was to
have been com posed entirely Of dyed-in- the-wool
half-breeds.
So far the efforts of Mr.. Elkins have proved
upayailing. Dir. Warren and his friends, hav
ing majority of the full committee, intend to
stick whether the Blaine bosses like it or not
This trouble has very nearly led to open rup.
ture several times within the past few days, and
has seriously blocked the carrying out of the
programme which the national committee had
laid out for that State.

WEBSTER SAW THE SEA-SERPENT.-Tho
reau in bis Summer tells this stoly: B, NJ.
W tells me that he learns from pretty
good authority that Webster once saw the
sea serpent. 1t seems that it was first seen
in the bay between Mauomet and Plymouth
Beach by perfectly reliable witness (many
years ago., who was accustomed to look out
on the sea with his glass every morning the
first thing, "a regularly as he ate his break
fast. One morning be saw the monster,
with a head somewhat like a horses, rise
some six feet above the water, ard body,
the size of cask, trailing behind. He was
careering over the bay, chasing the macke-
rel, which ran ashore in their fright, and
were washed up and died in great numbers,
The story is that Webster had appointed to
meet some Plymouth gentlemen at Mono
met, and spend the day fishing with them.
After the fishing was over he set out to re-
turn to bury in his saiiboat with Peter
son, as he had come, and on the way they
saw the sea-serpent, which answered TO the
common account Of this creature. 1t pass
ed directly across the bows, only six or sew
en- rods off, and then disappeared. On the
sail homeward Webster, having had time to
reflect on what had occurred, at length said
to Peterson, "For Gods sake, never say a
word about this to any one for lift should
be known that I have seen the sea. serpent
I should never hear the last of it. but wher-
ever / went should have to tell the story TO
every one met" SO it has not leaked out

CLEVELAND SENTlMENT.-Mr. James
O'keefe, an intelligent Irishmap, who has
lived in Richmond for more than quarter
of century, has returned from visit to his
birthplace in county Dublin, Ireland. During
his stay in Ireland Mr.. OKeefe visited in Queens
town, Cork, Dublin, and the county Cork and
others. He left this country few days after the
nominations of Cleveland and Hendricks, and
took some pains to ascertain what his fellow
couutrymen thought of the selection of these gen
tlemen OF the hundreds he met, Mr. O'Keefo
says that the sentiment was almost unanimous
for Cleveland. He met on his journey many OF
the most influential and representative Irishmcn.
and he states unreservedy that Cleveland is tho
choice of the Irish people. not only because he is
recognized as the embodiment of all that is hon.
est i'll politics, but also as the candidate of the
democratic party, and therefore opposed to the
republican party, the enemy of citizens of for
eign birth The republican party is considered
as the successor of knownothngism, and is really
that party in disgu So with few clap trap issues
