statement was that the Mills Club mad supplied
speakers for leo meetings within our county "
Our" county, OF course, meant Albany County
The Albany delegation in the Assembly or 1877
consisted Of three Democrats and one Republican.
After the Mills Club got through supplying
speakers for 100 meetings within our county"
and after these goldentongued Mills speakers had
exhausted the resources of their oratOry. the
electors of Albany proceeded to the polls and
elected to the Assembly of 1893 three Republi-
cans and only one Democrat. II Roger z. Mills
was aware Of this interesting little incident he
must have turned aside to drop scalding tear Tor
TO wink wicked wink before the genial ana
accomplished Judge sat down.
If this proves to be happy year for the
State of New-YorlI 1t probably will not be owing
in any great degree to the Legislature which meets
today
IL looks to-day as though the Democrats OF
the Legislature in their choice of United States
Senator would pay no attention 70 the advice ana
not ask for the consent Of the Hon. Grover
Cleveland.
Mr. Cleveland whenever he has made public
address since the election has called upon his
marty 70 unite and labor one man for the
his proclamation against Murphy what his idea
OF harmony really is.
Tho theory that the captains OF the Umbria
ard tho Galla did not understand each other Is
more or less plausible But it is not 50 inherently
probable rs the theory that they were not dnX-
ious TO understand each other 1t looks as II
the captain of the Galla when informed that
the I-mbria's shaft was broken fastened on his
voyage without waiting for definite information,
and that lie justified his conduct by the failure
of Captain Mckay to ask for assistance. 1t also
seems probable that the captain OF the Cmoria,
while surprised by the abrupt departure OF the
Gallia was relieved in his mind because he really
felt confident Of the ability Of the chief engineer
TO repair the shaft and preferred to take his ship
into port unaidcd. The official statements VIII
probably 10 final, since the two captains VIII not
care 70 criticise each other or 10 contradict what
the managers in London choose to say about the
affair which tn say the least is a mysterious onc
Tho Senatorial toga will not fit Murphy, but
inasmuch as it will be too large instead OF too
small his personal comfort VIII hot DE en-
dangcrcd.
In the course Of an blc-bodied culogy of " Boss
McIauchIin Mr. William G. DE Witt says:

Fran which it appears that Nature got just

then would have jumped at the chance 10 put
o head on him.
An unexpected development was made last
week in connection with the BIsl-Lounsberiy con-
,es. in lister County. and it throws a small flood
of light upon the methods by which the Demo-
that the Democratic County Committee distrtb-
n,cd a large number Of blue tickets, or checks,
which were given 10 men voting tic Democratic

esting lead that ought 10 he followed up dill
gently. Travelling expenses for voters seems
10 bc o new dodge. Mr. Lounsberry VIII doupI-
less probe it thoroughly.
Tho Umbria declined two towing offers outright
and then WAS unable TO make sister unuer-
stand what she wanted The system OF marine
SIGNALLING appears TO be remarkably defective
Like diplomatic language, its CHIEF junction
seems to lie to conceal thought
