Roadmaster OF the village Of Highland Mills In
Orange county. He has summer house at

Roadmaster. Every now and then he notifies
his constituency OF breaks in tho roads, and
then all hands turn out and patch 'em up.
Senator Saxton, so say Republicans near the
throne. is as politically dead as Fremont Cole.
Leading men in his party went to Albany last

Reform question. This was after they were
convinced that Gov Hill would sign decent
bill. They told Saxtop that he must take q
back track. Ho replied that he could not, and
his political death. Then his visitors ripped
out language at him that was plain. and closed
the Interview WIZ the deeaart 9 tho better b
should become u law IL Is now SAID that
every effort will be made TO retire Senator
Saxton to private life.
