From the las Vegas IN. M.j Gasette
Ex-senator 5. w. Dorsey, accompanied
by A. o. Hadley, arrived at the depot last
evening en- route to Santa~se. Duri0g
the interval which elapsed before the
train pulled out Of the depot reporter
approached the ex-senator, who said:
"Everything is pretty much at a stand
still In political circles. Both parties are
under cloud, and there seems to be no
means by which either parties can raise
the cloud. They have not a single issue
to quarrel over. Looking back, fail TO
see that the much talked of business de-
preston, which the different political Or
gans claimed would set in under
Mr.. Cleveland's administration has
been brought about. No political
party, and particularly no eXecu-
tive power, can in the slightest degree
affect any business interest in the cOun-
try, even If they so desired, and | think
il is absurd TO suppose that any man
could be elected President of the United
States who would try to bring about
any such change. There are limitations
OF the law that surround every act and
point out the duties Of every Official Of
the government, which cannot be
evaded or trenched upon. The course
Mr.. Cleveland has pursued in regard
to appointments is a matter 10 be dis
cussed between those who have secured
the offices and those who failed % get
them. There are fifty disappointed appll-
cants where one il made happy, and II is
IA queer fact that Mr.. Cleveland seems 10
have larger support among the Repub-
licans than he has within the lines OF his
own party. But he has three years yet,
and no one can anticipate what the result
OF his policy will be-"
"What Is your opinion OF Arthury'
IL know very little about him, but he
has his good points. His character is
equal only 10 the Obscurlty into which he
has fallen. Detested by those who put
him in power, Stunned by the ablest and
best men Of his party, he will have from
this time on in his mgudlin moments leis-
ure to reflect how expensive ingratitude
is. Arthur has not political influence
enough to make lean shadow, and he Is
scarcely remembered now by the masses
of the people as person who ever Occu-
pied public office"
"What has become OF Garfield's and
Arthur's CabinetsY
"YOu mean the personnel, / suppose.
AS TO Garfeld's Cabinet, Mr.. Blaine is
writing book with wicked thoughts
about the past; Mr.. Window IL building a
railroad In Mexico; Mr.. Lincoln IL boar
ing all he ever had-his name; Mr.. James,
who gave Vanderbilt $780, out Of the
United States Treasury Is running little
bank as the qaid pro quo, which Mr..
Vanderbilt PROVIDED for him, in
the upper part Of New York;
McVeagh, that moral, intellect
ual dyspeptic, having quarreled with
everybody that he ever knew, ~ now
dghtng himself. ! think IN the course Of
a year or two he will die Of "a morbid hate
of hla oVyu name ife H. "A little gou-iu-
law Of great father-in-law. As 10 Ar.
tnur's Cabinet, Brewster was lying drunk
In New Norki the last heard Of him, and
they were preparing 10 ship him %

Teller and Judge Gresham, you know All
