BUFFALO, Dot. CIV. r. Hearst has
cut loose from the regular Democratic

this morning he referred to Chairman
Coatsworth Of the Democratic county COM
mittee at that person. and said he had
not even the inclination TO talk with him
about the Erie county ~squabble.
Mr.. HeaFst's statement practically con-
hrmed the news which came out Of the late
conference at the IroQuois Hotel, held by
Mr.. Hearst, Kennedy, Fingy Corners,
Coatseworth and others, that the confer
es,Oe resulted in nothing n that Corners
had failed 10 Iron put the situation" The
statement is taken to mean that he intends
to put his les que ticket through here and
club the old Democrats into submission.
The statement follows:
Il arm not familiar with the details Of the
Buffalo situation and must decline to be
drawn into IL. A man named Coatseworth
called upon me to present his views OF the
situation. l had neither time nor inclina-
ton to listen 20 him. I have asked Mr..
Shearn to remain owe and 60 into the
details Of the matter with Mr.. Corners.
As I 1 ave said in relation to other localities,

For the last few days he has heen giving
all his efforts to this work. He has already
sent out thousands Of postal cards to en-
rolled Republicans calling their attention
to the necessity Of registering. and he has
directed the captains Of the election dis
tricts to make a personal canvass Of heir
districts after the first two registration
days to make sure that those who did not

Independence League convention was
nominated for Attorney General, and
stated, IL correctly reported, that he would
be IN the race until election day. He after

cised upon Senator Ford, and that 10 not

senator Ford were now made a candidate
Tor the Snpreme Court bench. as II there

That recalls the cause Of the downfall
OF one Of the typical bosses OF this State,
David b. Hill. He sought to reward sub
serviency in Nj Maynard by a judicial
place. Although II is long ago. the people
have not yet forgotten the terrible rebuke
which was administered to such a boss and
70 such an act.
This same Independence League con-
vention wss presided over by Judge Sea-
bury and largely managed by Mr.. Clarence
j.. Shearn and Mr.. GEleran. MIR. Hearst,
under his letter OF acceptance, would hardly
have the face to promote a City Court Judge
to the Supreme Court who had wrapped
his ermine about him and trsiIed il In the
city's dust from the City Hall to Carnegie
Han. and with the ermine on his shoulders
presided over a convention which has put
up candidates TO be subsequently knocked
down. The people of New York city are
intOlerant Of partisan activities on the
part Of any sitting Judge.
Neither will Mr.. Hearst. in my judy
ment, reward Mr.. Shearn, his faithful lieu-
tenant for many years and paid attorney.
nor MIR. Gillersn, Who has also long served
his personal interests faithfully and we'll,
by the payment Of n salary OF 81 1880 a year
from the city's treasury. II payment for
sich services is to he made, Mr.. Hearst will
make payment from his own pocket.
Oh. no. ] think the fair deduction from Mr..
Hearts, letter OF acceptance Is that there
can be no deal with Tammany on judicial
%Ofices; and that Teal or no deal Mr.Hearst
will not reward by high judicial Office his
partisan politics followers who AVE spent
much time in his service.
The law is a Jealous mistress and W i'll
brook no rival and the men who give largely
OF their time to- political activity are hardly
equipping themselves in the best possible
manner for the law and the bench"

welt coined another epigram to-day while re-
ceiving the Queens West minister Volunteers
rife team and the delegation and team
Of the Seventh Regiment Of New York.

The remark was made in the course Of
a brief speech acknowledging the presenta-
ton by Col. Sir Howard Vincent Of the

Union which had been int ed to him by
the executives OF that organization. In
presenting the medal Sir Howard said that
the medal only family expressed the sense
OF gratitude felt by friends OF peace for the
President 3 efforts in ending the Russian
Japanese war.
Responding, the President expressed the
hope that unbrOken peace might mark the
future relations Of the nations Of the world
and reached a climax in the expression
quoted above.
The visitors we're delighted with their re-
ceDtiOn by the President. There were some
expressions OF doubt in the minds Of the
British officers as to whether the President
would care to receive the enlisted men in the
team, which was promptly set at rest by Gen.
George H. Harries 81 Washington, who said:
"lno FrealdenJ may overlook some OF the
officers, but you ouldn build a fence high
enough to keep him away from the enlist ed
men.
This proved true. for the President showed
the keenest interest. in the medals worn
by the enlisted men. many Of whom were
veterans OF the Boer War.

President, greeting one beaminR English
man. -Ah, how NAM medals2 One, two,
