Plaisted ■ Senator Sabin, of Minnesota, is out for Arthur and Harrison as a Presidential ticket New York and Indiana appear to have the attention .of both parties The Governor of Missouri, before leaving for Utah, wrote to the St Louis Police Board that the Sunday provision of the High-License law must be enforced to the letter. While in the East recently, Gov. Foster, of Ohio, was interviewed to the effect that Judge Hoadley's nomination for Governor had cost him $50,000, and on this subject quite a correspondence has since been carried oil Judge Hoadley addressed a note to Gov. Foster, asking him to give his authority for the statement. Foster replied that he said it was alleged that Hoadley had so admitted, half the sum being paid duripg the convention. Foster added that the delegates from Cincinnati openly soid their votes, and it would be well for Hoadley to state what the nomination cost him. Hoadley then telegraphed to Foster: ”1 repeat the statement is false in all its parts. Now produce your informant and let me confront him.” A Boston dispatch says the Massachusetts Senate accepted the majority report of the Tewksbury Alm-hsouse Investigating Committee, and refused to admit the House to regulate the disposal of bodies of paupers. This ends the Tewksbury business as far as the Legislature is concerned. A special correspondent of the Chi-

ago Herald, sent out to New Mexico to interview Stephen W. Dorsey, telegraphs from Chico Springs, that Dorsey denies that he wrote or inspired the recent long statement {Which appeared in the New Ybrk and attributes the authorship of the statement to Dana's Washington correspondent Dorsey told the correspondent that if he were to expose the campaign of 1880 something more substantial than the allegations which appeared in the Sun would be furnished the public. He avowed that Indiana was carried by the lavish use of money, that Senator Platt and Whitelaw Reid, know all about the matter, and expressed the opinion that Garfield was more the fool of his fears than the knave of his desires. The Legislature of Massachusetts has adjourned sine die after a session of 206 days, the longest on record. Allan Campbell, Comptroller of New York city, has been compelled by ill health to resign.
