designation by those to whom the selection
has been conided, of candidates to be sup
ported by the Wing party. We mean to
persevere in that course, whenever our adj
versaries will let us. But they of the con-
trary part are never inclined to that course
They did their best in 1889 to turn the
State upside down in the vain hope of de-
feating the Wing sentiment of New Y ork
in the Senatorial election of that year. And
this year they were at work even before
the State Election took place to foist Du-
erite into the U. S. Senate in place of Mr..
Dickinson. Making up in activity and
impotence for their plentiful lack of nu
merical force, they are now patrolling the
whole State and ear-wiggng the Members
elect to the next Legislature with view
to secure Senator after their own heart.
Having imbibed the notion that the Sew
ard Wings as they call ninetenths of
the Wing party, mean to support HAMlL-
TON Fish for Senator, they are making
their drive at him though if Gov. Fish
were not supposed to be favorite with the
Seward men, they would very likely be
vociferous in his support 1t is their way.
They exhausted all their arts and importu-
mites to coax Gov. Fish to be a candidate
against Gov. Seward in 1850, and when
they failed with him they next pitched
upon Washington Hunt (whom number
of them have Just tried to defeat as Gov
ernor) and did their best to extort from him
a consent to run against Gov. Seward.
They will be after him again before Feb
ruary if they find they can kick up dust
with no one else. Their element is mis-
chief, and they are never happy except in
a row. They are now hard at work all
over the State against Gov. Fish; but if
they were to discover tomorrow that Sew
ard, Weed & CO. were for somebody else,
they would be Gov. Fishs most devoted
champions straightway. We have heard
them predicting all summer that Fish is
to be cheated in order to set his friends
against Gov. Stewards, and now they are
wngging like cells from fear that Gov. Fish
will not be cheated We have sample
of the tracks they make in letter from a
friend in Poughkeepsie, where prominent
Sub-Treasury emissary from this City was
trying last Sunday to procure pledges from
Wing Members elect not to 90 into
caucus with their brother Wing Members
from the Center and West for the selection
of Senator, and poisoning their minds
against Gov. Fish to the extent Of his abil
ity. We are assured that this faithful
echoot the sentiments Of his clique avowed,
when questioned on the subject, that, as
between Gov. Fish and D. S. Dickinson,
he preferred the election of the latter !
Rest assured that his preference will not
be gratifed. Nor is it true, as he gave out
IN Poughkeepsie, that the Members from
this City, Kings, Westchester &c. are all
of his way of thinking-far from it. We
know the rich banquets, the Aattering
speeches. the insidious wiles, to which they
have been subjected with hope of tolling
them into the net of the sub-Treasurer and
his satellites, but we know too that there
are men among them who are not to be
cajoled nor bamboozled-that, in fact, after
the dinners have been eaten, the wines
quatled' the batteries and hummeries have
died on the ear, there will be Just as many
DQentes IN our City and neighboring Dele
cations as there were at the outset, and
never another The men whowould gladly
have beaten Washington Hunt and could mt
VIII not choose the successor of Mr.. Dick
inson.
