That ominous crack in the organization
Of the Grand Army of the Republic, Of
which we heard 50 much some weeks ago,
saws the Boston Advertiser, seems to be
closed up like the mouths of the prophets
Of evil. The great rival organization of
veterans, that was to be distinctly Demo
cratic, because its members objected to the
strong infusion of politics in the present
organization fails to materialze. The plan
was doomed to the extent Of the ability of
the seceders and their hackers, but the
veterans did not take to it, After groping
for recruits in various parts of the country
it was learned that there was no reasonable
hope Of any secession of Importance Hence
1t is now announced that the plan has been
abandoned. The Grand Army has no de
serters worth mentioning.

A little girl called on Gen. Harrison last
week with one of the numerous blanks cir
culated by newspapers Offering 500 to amy
one who names the new cabinet by given
date. She asked Mr. Harrison to help her
win the prize and when he refused, say
lug pleasantly that it would be unfair to
other competitors for him to fill out the
blank, the child almost cried. Numerous
letters have recently arrived in the Gener-
ais mail containing these prize cabinet
blanks, the writers urgently requesting the
General to kindly fill them out and return.

Mrs. Cleveland told a friend the other
day that she and her husband intended tc
go to Buffalo for visit of few weeks i'm
mediately after the close of the President
term, and then take a house in George
town for permanent residence. George
town is the pretty suburb of Washington
from whose heights one has fine view Of
the winding Potomac, and is an easy drive
from any part of Washington. The OAK
View house has been placed in the hands Of
a real estate agent who is quietly looking
for purchaser, and Mrs. Cleveland is al
ready making her domestic arrangement,
for the change.

"a lot of land on Trinity place, not far from

Harrison, son of the President elect, told a
friend when he was in New York the 9th
er day. that the story that he is to hold an
important office under his father is all

pany in Montana. and he intends to 20

the presidential chair and resume the man
agement of the business He likes his
place, is making money, cares little for
politics and sees no wisdom in giving up
the opportunities of the West for public
place with no opportunities in Washington.
The committee in charge of the $2j, GOO
offered by Chairman Quay for evidence to
convict persons of false registration in New
York city, met last Saturday and heard
claims. Twelve applications were received,
but two were thrown out, as the convic-
tons were not secured from the evidence
of the claimants A Republican inspector
of elections secured the first reward OF
$500, another election inspector secured
the second of $1,000, patrolman the third
of $500, and seven payments of $3.50 each
were made to officers and business men.
The ten prizes, aggregating $3.50, were
paid out and $40, 40 remains in the treas,
