In affairs at Albany, We have had 20 many
things to bother us in Washington this
winter, that have not had time to look into
matters In this State but on my return In
tend to take my old-time interest In matters
affecting the Republican party in the State
There is good deal Of concern manifested
by Republican as well as Democratic poll
ticians in Senator Elsberg's bill which would
abolish the Coroners Of New York. The
Coroners who would be abolished would be
Gustav Scholer Solomon Goldenkranz,
Moses j. jackson. Nicholas T. Brown,
William O'Gorman. Jr., and Joseph I. Berry
of New York county; George F. Schaefer
OF Richmond county; Philip T. Williams
and Michael j. Flaherty OF Kings county;
and Leonard Rouf and Samuel d. Mutt
OF Queens county. These eleven Coroners
and their clerks, numbering about thirty,
would be fired out Of Office by the bill.

circles every day as TO the motives Of Sena-

time. and The SUN has received state
