ALBANY, n. Y, January 17.-The contest in the
republican party, which has been virtually brought
to close by the withdrawal of both Congressman
Hiscock and eX-Attorney General Russell In favor
OF VIM. NJ. Evarts, has been not so much a contest
Tor present hOnorS as Il has been for vantage for
the future control OF the republican party. Two
results now seem TO have been achieved, the first
pelng the retirement OF the Artuher stawGrts from
a position or influence in the party. So long as
President Arthur was even remotely connected
with the contest, the opposition TO Morton was
handicapped. It was not Mr.. Arthur'S so-called
1ree-trade notions that aroused popular feeling
against him. Mr.. Warren, Mr.. Draper and others
may write any number OF letters to prove that
President Arthur contributed to the Blaine can
Vass. The rank and nle of the republican
party DO not believe IL, and cannot be
made TO believe 1t. The great bulk OF the republi-
can party wanted to win, and fn this wish they do
not pelleVe MI. Arthur participated But although
lHey desired Blaine TO win after he had been
nominated, they do not care TO have him nomi-
mated again. The retirement OF PlaJt, Payn Cor
or the forces which were seeking to pave the way
for BlaineS denomination In 1883 Its leaders made
no concealment OF this fact, and have all along
counted On 1t as winning card. This fact has
been appreciated at its true significance by the
republican politicians OF the state and all elements
have come to Albany for the express purpose of
breaking the Patt-C Cornell combination. II Mr..
Arthur has been removed from politics 10y the
events In Albany during the past fortnight, his
IrlendS nave taken care that far as this state is
concerned MI. Blaine has gone down with him.

Did not Know Her.


A WOMAN HoNoRED By GEN. SHERMAN WITH KISS
BUT HER NAME uNKNoWN-A SCRAP OF A STREET
CONVERSATION.
One morning while Gen. Sherman was visiting
Washington lately, he met Gen. Schenck on the
street.
"How are you, Schenck?" said the blur old war
rior. "You are looking splendidly."
"Yes;" was the reply. II am first rate haven't
felt so well in the past seven or eight years But
tell me, general, who was that very pretty woman
you kissed after the reception the other night?"
The war horse pondered moment, and ex-
claimed. "Oh! remember, but blessed IL know
who she was"
.'Did you know she was married woman7"
asked Schenck.
''No, indeed" said the general laughing. sand I
haven't seen her since. You see they ali stood up
there In line and just waded in, but remember
the one you mean"
The two old friends tried to figure out the pedi-
gree OF the kissed woman, but The one only knew
that She was married, and the other that she was
k1SSaOle. Finally, Gen. Schenck said, swell, any,
how Sherman, admire your TASTE"
"ies;" remarked Gen. Sherman with twinkle In
his eye, "she was fine, certainly. Did you notice
how well she stood upon her fetlock joints? She
was fine woman"
The two old friends agreeing we'll upon the point,
shook hands and separated. Judging from the
above the stories about Gen. ShermanS kissing pro-
clivlties are not entirely imaginary.
