EVERYBODY has reached the point
wnere they say Cleveland's election
depends upon the state of New York,
and the state depends upon the city
and the city npon Tammany. Well,
Tammany is all right to begiu with
and will give him bigger vote than
it gave him in 1888. There seems to
be no break in New York. The state
is unquestionably safer than other con.
tested States. If his election depends
on New YORK, it is certain, and Dir.
Cleveland will be the next president.

A LONG time ago The NEWS said
if Senator Mcconnell were to ask the
nomination for governor it would be
for the purpose of making the office
a stepping stone back to the United
States senate. Everybody accepts that
statement as a true one. Ii Dir. Nc
Connell is elected nobody doubts but
the entire state government will be
used TO help him on in that direction.
But THE News feels inclined to add
now, if Mr.. Mcconnell is elected he will
not have a smooth road to travel on
his way to promotion. Mr.. Hepburn,
of North Idaho, may have an eye on
the same honor, Congressman Sweet
might not object to stepping up into
the other chamber of the capitol build
ing and Capt. Wells, if be succeeds
with his Worlds Fair commission,
might not be averse to senatorial hon.
ors, while Senator Shoup may, by that
time, like Washington City life well
enough TO ask six years term of
continuance at the capital. No, Senator
Mcconnell will not sleep on bed Of
roses while seeking gubernatorial and
senatorial hohors. There are many
rough places in the way and the sena-
tor will find that there is more fun in
initiating the "unInitiated" into his
granger lodge than in running for
governor. 1t strikes US mildly, sena-
tor, that little later ON you will wish
you hadn't.

tnat he (Lazard) could not have an Impair

he thought the document impairment He
had never heard Of LaZard and knew no
reason why he should be prejudiced.
Charles HeggeTly was Lizards attorney.

he surprised the court by announcing his
withdrawal from the case. He had heard
whisperings in one place and another that
LaZard was boasting of having liked" the

fuse, under such circumstances, To have
anything TO DO with the case. Instead Of
proceeding TO trial the Judge postponed
matters until March 10.
LaZard, it will be remembered. was tried

convicted of an assault raised storm In

the prosecution by giving the Assistant

have been this charge, which by the Way

The aggregate strength OF the force on

takes place at s o'clock in the morning.
There were three troops of cavalry, two
light and four heavy batteries in line The

CITY HALL WORK.

Commissioner Smiley Oyerhauled a Con-
tractor for Greediness.
The City Hall Commissioners had brief
meeting yesterday afternoon at which sew
eral progress estimates were passed upon.
In the one submitted by MEGA mn & Nc
Kay. Commissioner Smiley said there had
been a considerable change, and it would
always make him suspicious of those
contractors in future. The estimate as first
prepared called for the laying of 140, 600
brick. Mr.. Smiley questioned it at once,
and found on inquiry that only $4,000 had
been laid. He characterized this as dodge
of the contractors to secure more money on
first payment than they are entitled to. Com
missioner Smiley fought against awarding
the contract to this firm originally because,
as he said. faulty work WAS found on its
contract once before. The walls were dis
covered to have been stuffed with rubbish.

=. :. Appeal and His Positive Denial.

That the police are making strenuous
efforts TO retain Hedgepeth in their clutches
should he escape conviction tor the Glen
dale train robbery. was shown by the arrival
Of Mrs. Gore in St. Louis few days ago.
She is Arkansas City woman and believes
that Hedgepeth was the author of robbery
by which she lost $500 worth of diamonds
and jewelry:;
According to her story the prisoner was
introduced TO her as Sam Wood in January,
1891. They were. much in each others
company for time and he got to know of
her diamonds and q large sum of money in
Der possession. Three days later she was
attacked in her house by number of per-
sons, who, at the point Of their pistols, de-
manded her diamonds and money. They
got the former, but as she had deposited the
money In bank it escaped From the
knowledge the men displayed in locating
her property she came to the conclusion
that Wood had posted them, and she was
more convinced than ever of this when she
tried to find him and learned that he had
skipped.
When the chief of the detectives brought
Hedgepeth into the woman's presence she
Immediately addressed him as 'Sam," and
made quito an appeal to him for her dia-
monds, promising that she would not pros

HedgeDeth, still laughing. assured Mrs.
Gore once more that she was mistaken. He
hoped she would get back her diamonds
and was sorry that he couldn't help her
any. This closed the interview and Mrs.

where she said she was still Of the opinion

likes the Central Park location.
Solomon Tesmore, an insurance agent,
residing at 1918 Fulton street, after being
duly sworn expressed his admiration for
the site at Seventh and Mission, which he
said was on sand bank, not a marsh,

examination he admitted that he owned
property on Mission street. near Sixth.
