To Supeyintendents Of Railrays and the
Press:
All passes issued to me on account Of
being an assistant to the President of the
GAINESVILLE, McCOnnelsville and Pomeroy
Railway Company please cancel, as the
company has no syndicate outside OF
Albert Z. Boone, Chase Andrews and Gen.
Brady, The Star Route Syndicate" Of
Washington, and the company having not
one foot of tract laid and no
prospects of having any. Please
cancel passes issued to the Pres
ident, Albert E. sBoone, and grant him
no favors, as he cant reciprocate. The
press will confer a favor by making him
pay for all articles inserted concerning the
Black Diamond system of Ohio. The entire
scheme is without any capital other than
the wind and assurance of Boone, Hatch
Foote, Wall street, New York, never

The report that the company had pur-

II is right that the boys should evince an
interest in political matters for he time will
soon come when they are to be the rulers
Of the land. In order that they may be
qualified for their soveignty proper pains
should be taken that they are educated in
correct political principles. While it is
proper that they should learn the principles
o;Psr'y from those in whom they eon6de
and should have lessons of loyalty to party
organization, it is of higher consequence
tha; they be indoctrinated with the grand

SARATOGA, August 25.-It is understood
here that Governor Cleveland will return to
Albany about September l, and that the
Democratic canvass will be pushed with
energy from that date to the closing of the
polls in November. The political army OF
visitors in Saratoga has been considerably
augmented during the past week. A large
representation from Tsmmy Hall is on the
ground. Among the politicians now in
Saratoga, in addition to the Tammany
Boss, are Judge Murray, Mr.. Martin B.
Brown, exJudge Quinn, eN-Aldermsn
Tuomey, Mr.. Bourke Cochran, ex-senator
Grady, ex-Congressmsn O'Brien, Commis-

man Dugro.
Tammany.
1t will be noticed that politicians of the
Tammany stripe prevail They are anx-
ious to get the WORD" as to what policy is
going to be pursued by the Tammsny or.
ganization in the great national struggle.
They are, to use slang phrase, afraid OF
being left in the great struggle for official
pap" and consequently come to Saratoga
for instructions. In the wake Of this army
Of otiee-holders and oficeseekers have also
arrived several political ''crsnks, always
found ready to shout for the side their bread
9 buttered on or to crisge to some petty
hos" Who may take care Of them for the
time being. This class Of individuals Is
now well represeuted'at the Springs. They
look upon nod from spOlitical leader with
the same reverence that pagan exhibits
standing before q wooden idol. Represent
atives of the lowest and most corrupt rtngs
Of Democratic politicians in Ne" York
eity. their loud talk and swagging manner
very much annoy the decent elements OF
the community who came here for health
and recreation. 1t is not at sll singular
that such men may be found continually
denouncing Governor Cleveland and Proph-
esying the sure election of Blaine. They
likewise are wildly enthusiastic over the
Butler canvas. The vulgar efronsery OF
these people and their style of argument

Speculation and Prophecy.

speculation and Prophecy.
Where so many politicians are congrega-
ted in one place it necessarily follows that a
good deal of speculation and prophecy are
INDUCED over the national contest. Gov
ernor Cleveland's friends are particularly
jubilant as to the outlook. Several of the
most active and best informed do not hesi-
tate to claim that the Tidal Wave Govern
or" will not alone carry New York but also
Ohio and Wisconsin. Here is one Of the in
teresting estimates as to division of the
