DEADLOCK IN ILLINOIS.
Very Embarrassing 10 the Newly Elected
Omeiala.

SPRNGFTELD ILL.,, Jan. 26.-The delay In
making the official canvass OF the vote for
State officers consequent upon the failure Of
the House to organize has kept Governor Og-
lesoy and the otoer officials elect who are not
their own successors out of their respective
positions for two weeks. At the outset the
natter was only a source of a little vexation,
but ID has now become expensive. The men
who they are to succeed are not only in posses
sion Of the offices, but OF the salaries as we'll.
The newly elected officers are most anxious to
compromise this trouble to an extent at least
that will permit them to get into their posi-
tions. They propose that resolution be passed
recognizing the House as being under tempor-
ary organization only, yet inviting the Senate
to meet with 1t for the purpose Of conducting

MASSACHUSETTS.


BOSTON, Jan. 26.-Complaint was made some
time ago by the State Inspector General of
Leather against the firm of Proctor, Hunt &
Haskell for alleged violation of law which pro-
vides for inspection OF sole aud belt leather
To this complaint defendants demurred, claim
ing the sale of uninspected leather was not an
ofense under the laws of the commonwealth,
and that the court had no jurisdiction. A pro
formal decision was given for complainant in
the municipal court that the question might be
passed upon by 2 higher court, and the case
was argued before the superior court last
week, and that court has now sustained the
demurrer, thus deciding in effect that the in
spection Of leather is not compulsory in this
State. This was test case and one Of much
interest to the leather trade.

gate OF 1902 South Juniper street, this city, so

MIR. Evarts as Presidential Candidate.
A Washington special to the Sun says:
Prominent Republicans who have surveyed
the political battlefield since the November
defeat, are beginning to LOOK upon Mr.. Evarts
as possible presidential candidate iD 1888.
The relentless war between the Blaine and Ar
thur factions they believe will destroy the
chances of both of the leading Republican
candidates of this year, and Evarts will loom
nm as the great compromise candidate The
CanitaI today says: "Mr. Evarts, so his best
friends say, is not satisfied. He is aiming at
the Presidency. He thinks he will get it. He
thinks New York will be the pivotal State in
1888; that he will be the choice of the Repub-
lioans of New York; that he will be The Re-
publican candidate and that he will be elect
