"Whitehall, N. Y.. May 11.?On Thursday Waahin**
ton County Republican?? will witness here th?* dose
?Of one of the fiercest struf?gloe for politicai suprem?
acy that has ever occurred In this part of the
State. Ex-Congressman Henry Q. HurleUfh, of this
place, and ?x-B"nator Isaac V. Baker, of Com
Stock'S, with their supporters, will contest the con?
trol of the machinery of the Kepubllcan party In
this county. The test will occur on the nominations
for Assemblyman. ?Sheriff, County Clark ?nd Super
tntt-ndent of the Poor.
A year ago Mr. Burlelgh and hie friends pained
control In the county and renomlnated Mr. Hobhle
for Assemblyman. Mr. Hobble was elected. More?
over, Mr. Hurloljrh took a conspicuous part In the
nomination of a Congressman and tiio elation of
delegate* to the National Republican Convention.
Mr. Baker, who had been prominent In State poli?
tics owing? to hi? position of KapntlMnSB leader in
Washington County, seemed to livse political
strength, and In vain sought appointment as a
Btnte Railroad Commissioner from Oovernor Black.
His effort? to regain control of the party machin?
an* may therefore be considered an attempt also to
regain hi? former Influence in the Republican party
?utslde of the county of Washington.
Mr. Burlelfths friends say that he 1b contending
?with more people than Mr. Baker and bla fiienda;
that Charles "W. Hackett, ohairman of the Repub?
lican State Committee, haa arrayed himself against
Burlelgh In consequ?ince of some criticisms lately
attered by tho latter at Albany. Mr. Burlelgh espe
Olally ?ppose-d the passine; of the Greater New-York
?aharter ovor the head of Mayor Strong, d-sclarlng
that It wa? altogether too likely that Tammany
Hall would sweep the city of New? York at the elee
tlon thla fall., and thus put the Republican party
at a disadvantage In the State. He was also hostile
to the bill which Governor Black had framed con?
demning lands In the Adirondack ioreets desired
for tho use of the State A? an owner of land in
the Adirondack region, Mr. Burlelgh considered the
bill an unjust on?, ?and therefore oppo*??d Its p*ls
sa?*<\
The demonstration of the Republican machine
again?t Mr. Burlelgh may be considered a part of
It? general plan to deprive Warner Miller and all
hie followers of Influence In the Republican party.
Mr. Burlelgh is one of the ex-Sf-nator's most Inu?
mate friends, Mr. Miller was robbed of his seat
In tbe State Convention of 189.?. If Mr. Burlelfh at
Thiir-idaV?* convention hero should be eleeted a
delicate'to the Stai? Convention that may he hell.
It can now be predicted that hi? seat in the con?
vention will be stolen from him. Nevertheless he
and bis friends Intend to mske an enrnen effor,.
to roinin control of the machinery of the Republi?
can party In Washington County.
The renewal of hestllltlee betwoen the frllowers
of Baker and Burlelgh recai*.? one of the ner?-e?t
factional conteste ever witnessed In any county of
this State. It winced for months with unabated
fury, ?vary STe of territory waa fought for
vigorously and bitterly until the final day when
the Whit-ball statesman triumphed over hie ancient
enemy.
For yeara the two leader? have been rival aspi?
rants for the control of Republican affairs in
Washington County. Baker, who was formerly
Superintendent of State Prisons. Is a resourceful
but quiet work? r. Ho resembles Francis Hen?
driks, of Syracuse, In his political methods, and,
like Hcnirlcks. has managed to obtain a powerful
grip on the local machine. Ha waa consider? d
"Plan's lieutenant. 1'r.cloubtedly he was loyal In
his relations witn the Bos?. Burlelgh, on the other
hand, wa? an avowed adherent of Warner Miller.
A Half-Breer?, of Half-Breeds, he had fought with
singular effectiveness, a fact conspicuously Illus?
tr?t"! at lrrcKUlarly recurring intervals. Natural?
ly, "?hen the fight broke out in Mil, Baker turned
to I'lritt for ai?'. It was promls.-.i. bat never mm??.
for Burlelgh, with characteristic audacity, lmsls'cd
that Platt ??hould keep his hands off. and succeeded
In using Frank T. Wltherbee to such good pur?
pose that Platt actually allowed Baker to make
the tight practically alone, to the latter'? utter dis?
may and discomfiture.
M bey was polirei out in every town of ?he
county. The ???--?? was ??G??** the election af
{. !??- ro the Btate Convention, but if the Presidency
hat depended on the resul? the iientmg could not
ha\e been mur?-? desperata or re lenti ? ?. Burieigh'e
friend? say that he ?pent ?:??.????. 11.? has never de?
nied 1:. Baker la tacirurn on ths Subject, of course,
but if he did BOI ?pen i so mu.ii as his rival, it was
.?.ri ?ly because he dl 1 boi have it to spend, for he La
a ?I .ghly gain?; contestant in political warfare.
1- tiler's defeat wu a severe trial to him. H? felt
eur? of victory, an.l would trave won. probably, bad
11.. ? .helped him. He could not aft 3rd to quarrel
WJ ? tne Stite machine, even when h:? delegates
wer?- thrown our. a: Saratoga. He Dursed his wrath
and waited patiently for revenga, which ne hopes to
ger to-morrow.
Burlelgh'? ?irons: ally Is Frank Withorbee, the
wealthy young ir.m manufae-'irer of Port Henry,
who has ma 1<> himcelf so useful to Platt a? to have
Bufflclent !-.fl .-i. " at court to keep the whole forr<j
cf ihr Sraie machine from be.ng thrown against
Burlelgh, wt'h w'nozn h? is associated In various
business eri'errir;.?es. Baker vow? that he will drive
Burle.gh out of YVa?hmj;ron County. He admits,
however, that he has a big Contract on his hand?.
He discovered long ago that his hated rival has
many ?analitica In common with a rubber hall; that
1.? why Ticonl.;roga people call him "Bounding Bur.
leigh."
COXFFRKNCE OF REPUBLICANS.
A conference of the Republicans of the XXVlIIth

resolution was offered by Frank B. Matthews ani
adopted unanimously authorizing Mr. Opper.heimer

ing tho campalt.-i) against Tammany. About two
months ago resolutions were adopted bv the club
recommending tho union of all elements opposed
to Tammany Ball, In order to effect Its defeat. at
the coming election.
CITIZENS UNION AND ONION LEAGUE.
^There Is an Impression In political dr?les that the
Union League Club may take a stand at its next
meetin?? In favor of non-partisan nominations in
the coming municipal contrat, and that the plat?
form of the Citisene' G???? will receive the elub'e
indorsement.
Charles Stewart Smith, whoso prominence in the
club and In th* non-partisan bodies which have
conducted two city campaigns in the last few
yeers glv??e weight to what he says on these sub?
jects, has been reported as intending to Introduce
?P.VS^U?1* resolutions at the next meeting of the
* It ,. hen asl*',d about the matter yesterday, he
? am as yet uncertain what 1 may do. I have
thought that it might be as well to wait awhile
It mav not be an opportune time for such action!
and aa yet nothing ha? been deoidod I have no
doibt. however, that a majority of our Union Hub
members *re In favor of Ihe plan of the Citizens

municipal administration. I am of the opinion that

An Interview wltn Robert Fulton Cutting, chairman
of tho Committee of Organization of the Citizen*

and was construed as Indicating that tho leaders
of the Union might ho ready M BOOept nome other

of tiiu ?inamicalions of Cornelius ?. ??!*? for th.?

"I regard Mr. Rliss a* an honorahle and upright

"if Mr. Rila? would subscribe to the platform of

Tlie planks especially pointed out by other mem?

Three well-dressed, diminutive boys stood on their
tiptoes In front of the ticket-seller's gru ting at the
Clyde Steamship Llne'a pier yesterday morning
and one asked In a high treble for three tlekets for
Charleston. He proudly pulled a r<?!! of Mils from
his pocket and counted out $.10 to psy for the
passages. A natural expression of astonishment
?pread over the face of the ticket-seller a? he
looked down at the tiny would-be travellers end
he began to question them. Ho had not made
much progress when Detective Cronln of the Can?
trai Office strolled up to th? window and rnv-ame
interested In the conversation.
The boy? ?aid at flrat that they lived In Harlem
e>nd that their mothers had given them tbe money
with which to (to South. They were bound for
Charl?iSton to visit relatives. Further pressing,
however, led one of the older boys to confess, with
the air of a bloated bondholder, "I drew the money
out of the bank on my own account."
Detective Crouin thought the boy? should be
restored to their par?nts, and, obtaining their
names and addresses, ho took th?-m to IOlice Head?
quarters and communicated with their parents.
*us,ter the parents called at Headquarter? end took
the boys home. The three little fellows w?rc Wil?

Senator n.itt dl<l not return to Washington yes?

ist between Um Sinatnr's lieutenants on th.? oppo?
site side of the Eist Hiver as tO tlM DSBt methods
for conducting? the tin-liter New-York cempaldO
HTM him much anxiety. In conversation with
Jacob Worth and Kin riff Pultlinj* In Hi" course of
the day Mr. Platt set his face hard agnlTTTt the
scheme for a State Convention this year, holding
that It would tur unwise and unnecessarily expen
I Btva lo cull ru? h a eonventlon with only a Judge
! of lh.? ?"ourt of Appeals to nominate.
Mr. Platt h,is a State Cummi:tl >? now. made up

I convention would entail tbe ehooolng af a new
j State C.?nimitt, .?. The right kind of ?I. legates all

? looks easy enou***a to people on th.? eotstda it is no

Another thing bothering Senator Platt at this
! time la Edward Lauterbaeh'a renewed wish to
retire from the presidency of ia.? Republican
County Committee. Mr. Platt had several talk?
with Mr. Lauterbacb yesterday, and urged him
to retain hia present place. He will see Mr.
Lauterbacb again on the subject to-day. Thalatter
said that lie was Impelled ??? resign by th?? serious
Indisposition ?f his wife, who is only now recover?
ing from a .-?vere llln.ss. His own h.alth, too, he
said, had ?.me greatly impaired. Mr. Flati
suggested thai ? trip to Europe might bs s good
thing for both Mr. and Mrs. Lauterbaah, with the
understanding that the prealdent of tas Counti
Committee should return to New-Tork In time for
tbe fail campaign, it waa aald laal evening that
this arrangement would probably be mad?? snd that
Mr Lauterbacb WOUld remain St tbe head of the

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES.
Washington, May 11, 1M7.
JFRRY SIMPSON* RCKPRIBED.-The Medicine
Lodgi? statesman was formerly a sailor, and he
usually shows considerable Interest when a propo?
sition relating either to the merchant marine or
th? N'uvy la before tho House. Ho is In favor of
the Improvement of Tearl Harbor for a naval
coaling station, and mado a llttio speech to-day,
In tho course of which he ?aid: "We can no longer
or do no longer use wind powor." An audible
titter ran through ih?? Hou M and galleries, and
Be paused with S look of pained surprise, as
though be wondered why everybody laughed, ini
pnuee was not long, however, for it require? moro
than a laugh to rlam the torrent of Jerry? do?

THST riWVMB MISS ? ?'IfANC^.-Tho extreme
frire-.-I I ver men in tbe Hour,.; of Representative?,
Whether IVm?>crats or Republicans, miss no op?
portunity to cast a. slur on Orover Cleveland, and
s..:?.. of the ellinaaflnell they use are tho rever??
of elegant. Thus In the debate on the forest
reservation? amendment to-day Mr. Hartman, of
Montana, said.
"I do not suppose there is another blunderhead
on earth that could mak?? a tithe of the gross mis?
takes that President Cleveland made." In the
same breath Mr. Hartman ? ?Claimed : "The pre?,
cut Prealdent, thank God, Is an American Presi?
dent," whereat there wa. loud applause.
THK I'HhiiSIDKNT AM? MKM'iliUI, DAY?
Whether tho I'r-.riidejit will accept or decline the
invitation to go to Nuw-Vork io spend Memorial
Day is a unawtlon oi considerable Interest at tho
National Capital. It was President Arthur who
s.-t the precedent of going to New-York. Naturally
BJ a New-York man, tho propriety .?.as not ques?
tioned, or. at least, ho was not critieiaed on thi?
account, for a ?epa?lture from the well-c?tab!lsiied
custom of his predecesor? lo observe the day in
Washing! -n. I'n.sident Cleveland, for the s,nr.??
reason, no doubl, of being S .New-York man, fol?
lowed th<> precedent set bv President Arthur. Hut
neither -Mr. Arthur nor Mr. Cleveland had been a
soldier, arid therefore oould loudly be ao fully in
sympathy with the real meaning ?if ?Memorial Day.

ceremonies at Arlington. ?onereJ Grant ?tul lus

? fitructure, near the Rito of the old prison, and the
I plnn of utilising the five hundred convict? there to

new building will represent an outlay of three
times th?. appropriation. Tb? land, of cour??, is

"The majority ot the men sent to u? < ome from
Arkansas, Texas and th? Indian Territory, Crim?
?nala from thla section are usually of the frontier

those who have been raised in th?* older and more

PRESIDENT TAYI.ous DAUOHTEB.*-ThrM
former mistresiea Of the White House are now in
Washington-Mrs. (?rant, Mrs. Harriet Lane John
si?,? and Mrs Da ? bridge, daughter of President
Taylor. Mrs. Oranl and Mrs. Johnston are settled
In permanent homes of their own, and Mr.-. Dan
bridge i- the ,uest of Mr?. Harnes, widow of Sur
geon-Uuieial Barnes, it lack? but a year of half
a century pinco General Taylor, "Old Rough and
Ready," the hen of tho Mexican War, became
Prealdent. Mrs. Taylor was aa Invalili, and their
only daughter, the "beautiful Hetty Bliss," pre
ri.'.? d as i-ii.-tre.--3 of the Whit? House. She was a
brido of twenty, having b..-.;n married shortly be?
fore to Major Fllss, a youn?; officer on her father'*
.-.lit', ami who lie. ame President Taylor's private
secretary. Many old resident? of Washington still
remember her as the graceful young hostess who
brought sunshine and happtnes?, into the mansion
f.-r the few months of her father's life there. Mrs.
Danbridge, now a white-haired woman of seventy,
haa had an ev? ntful life. As a bright and Vivado is
? girl ?she was the belle of the military posts wh? re
I her father waa stationed. She entered the White
llouaa a bride, and ?? lier father's sudden death,
four months after his inauguration, retired to pri?
vat?? life with ber husband and mother. .Mrs Tay?
lor died tWO fear? afterward, and a year later
Major Bllaa died. After year? of ?oclusi?n she
married Mr. Dnnbrldge. a grand-nephew of Martha
Washington. Hut to her countrymen and country
women Mr?. Danbrtdge will always be known aa
the "beautiful Hetty BUM."
THE SMALLKST MILS' IM COXC.RKS3.-The
smallest, men In Coneres* are Sr?nntor Chandler, of
New-Hampshire, and Representative Wheeler, of
Alabama?"Fighting Joe." of Confederato tama.
Mr. Chandler is sixty-two years old and General
Wheeler I? elxtv-one, but both have slender, boyish
tlgnres, and affect somewhat youthful dress in
wearing trim, natt.y llttio sack coats. General
WheeterO hat Is the most remarkable piece of
headgear ?een In the House, p is not a derby, nor
a Fedora, nor the broad-brimmed black covering
that many Southern statesmen wear. The dashing
old cavalry leader departs from all Congressional
customs Iri th? ?election ?>f hts top wear, which Is
an ordinary black hat su^h ris hoys in the country
8? lect, He has hat apeclal trademark in the way
of creasing It. It is creased round an?d round to
ft tha shap" of the head ar.d rest closely upon
the crown aft.r the fashion that country hoys
affect when the new of the hat Is worn off and
it has b?en cut In the rain onco or twice to take
the style out of it. General Wheeler hoa-rfs of an
experience in bringing up a large family on his
Southern plantation that is odd. Ha says, with an
expressive gesl ure:
'[ raised a family of ?ix children on my planta?
tion, ami never locked a door or fastened ? window
of the house. We were surrounded by large mini
hers of negroes, but In warm weather always slept
With the doors open. W?? never lost any article by
theft, except In s few eaeee when the family were
away. I had confidence ?n the "colored brother'
and ho respected me and my own."
CO-KDCCATION IN' NKMRASKA.-The Univer?
sity of Xebrsska take? a prominent place among
the more Important seats of learning in the West.
It l? modelled closely after Cornell University and
conducted along the lines that have made Cornell
so justly famed. Professor Card, of Nebraska
University, while In Washington recently had some?
thing to say about tho women students.
"For several yean pas;," said iie, "the attendance

All eollesrlsns know that tho ?iii.ilt.loatlons for

scholarship. Now it happened that though the
young women of the University were not as nu?
merous as the voung men. more of the girls were
iiblo to become" Phi Reta Kappas This was not
tho result of favoritism, bui waa determined solely
