This Justice Howard refused TO grant on the
ground that Potter asking than he is
entitled to- and that attempt to reinstate him
in a condition in which it is at least doubtful
whether he was. and which might result in
mixing and complicatng the situation, is unwise-"
Justice Howard continued:
Il also occurs to me that this is contest over

statements add to the doubt. This is an unusual
lawsuit, and the plaintiffs rights, TO mind, at
least. not entirely clear. Therefore the tenn

may be entered accordingly with s1e costs.

CANAL WORK WOULD COST MORE NOW

Albany. Feb. Il CSpeciaD.-Governor Odell was
busy at his desk at the Capitol to-day disposing
OF correspondence that had accumulated while
he was absent in Washington earlier in the
week When INQUIRY was made OF him about
certain appointments that it was reported had
been talked over in Washington, he said that
his visit TO the national capital had not been
in relation TO any petty matters of patronage
Then, reference having been made 10 reports
Of differences among Republicans. the Governor
e-nphatically said:
There viii be no quarrel in the Republican

OF improving the canals should be known and
revealed to the people, he asserted
The Governor expressed the opinion that the
proposition 10 improve the canals ought TO be
submitted to the people at the polls the present
year at the November election. His attention
was called 20 the circumstance that there were
several proposed amendments TO the constitu-
tion pending. and that these amendments and
