Governors chair, 50 as TO keep his name
before the public IN prominent way Inut
lsgl when his yaulting ambition prompts
him TO hope he will be the Democratic
nominee for the Presidency. This litil"
scheme il not a secret. IL Is known all over
the state. lie has been taking an interest
unusual for "A Governor in the Legislative
Elections OF the year. His lieutenants
! throughout the state have been instructed
10 see that only lIill men are nominated Tor
| the Assembly, and to make extraordinary
efforts in close districts. II appears that Dc
has Tammany Hall on his side anyhow.
| Richard Croker. who was quarreiing with
! The Governor year ago. - now an out-and-
aut Hill man. Ills followers have also
,rcat admiration for the Governor.
ruE Nrw BALLOT LAW.
Naoue apprehensions disturb The political
managers here on both sides. Democrats
and Republicans alike are afraid OF the
new ballot law. They do not know Just
! how il will strike them on election day. 10
meet its requirements the Democrats de-
/ peud on superior part, organization anu
! discipline. The Republicans base thelr re
| lance on the alleged higher intelligence ot
| The mass of their voters. Yet neither par
| ti.an camp is confident While much has
/ been done 10 simplify the methods
Of voting under the act passed this
year. il il conccdedly more complicated
| fnan the old system. II confusion ana a.
| Ian does not occur at the polls the commit
nity will be exceedingly fortunate. 10
certain degree each party has entered on an
| educational campaign Inc pemocra'S'
| in this relation, have taken more vigorous
| .tsns than their adNersaries. The Eepubli-
cans. ever busy with wrangles over The fed-
rral patronage. have done little. MI mat
they have accomplished is IN the appoint
| mont of rsuh-commiitees in a few wards 10
! look into the matter. These committees
| have thus far rofrainCd from eNertlng thenl-
selves.
SCARCITY on MEAT.
one Of the indirect effects OF the New
.ork Central strike is the scarcity and con-
| .nnttont high price Of meat. Live cattle ia
treat numbers are shipped over this road,
! and many were detained along the route.
! ghe recent sNitchmen's strike IN the 'hl-
/ capo stock-Varls still further decreased the
suuply of Western beef. This has necessi-
flted the unusual drafts on the abattoifs,
and a. result meat in the carcass now
sells for from Ia / cents more thah tne
| price OF several weeks ago. The abattoif@
| are well supplied. as thct made arrange
ments with the other lines for the iranspof-
| tation of cattle when the Central railroad
| trouble began. some Of the abattor men
are said to have made some profitable spec
ulati0ns. Retail prices Of Deei nave gone
up from 90 81 cents pound wlthin ths
,ast few davs. Other meats nave been al
| .ected less but show slight tendency !"
higher prices.
