THE RHODE ISLAND SENATOR

Thirty one members of the Rhode Island Lee
gislature have signed u card declaring that they
did not vote for Gen. James as Senator. Mr..
John Holden,a Wing member, has published Il
statement acknowledging that he did, and Justify.
ing the act. He says the Wing members, early
in the session, held caucus, and majority OF
them (being also majority of the whole Legis-
lature) voted that the candidate agreed upon by a
majority should be voted for by all. The friends
of Mr.. Simmons declined being bound by this
agreement. At another canvass, the ma jority
nominated Mr.. Whipple. In the election, the
friends of Mr.. Simmons refused to vote for the
nominee On the fourth ballot, Mr. tWhipple obtain
ed SO votes, Mr.. Simmons % votes, and Gen.
James IS votes. Therefore fourteen of the ma
iority determined TO vote for James rather than
yield to the minority. Mr.. Holden says they had
satisfactory assurances that Gen. James was
"sound on all the leading Wing measures, and
particularly upon the question Of protection to
American industry" MIR. Holden says further:
"The result we believe will be favorable to the Wing
party and to the promotion OF Wing measures in this
State and in the country, Gen. James, new sena
tor Wing. He voted tor Gen. Harrison tor Pres-
dent in 1910; he voted for Mr. Clay Tor President in
1874 In l84s. the time OF the election OF the last
President, be absent from this State upon Lake
Erie Had he been here, assured, he would
have voted for General Taylor for President. He vo.
ted for his present Excellency Henry B. Anthony for
Governor of this State What better assurance can
any man give of Wing sentiments than these votes,
reaching back for the last ten years?
1t should be stated that he was absent from this
State when the ballottings for U. S. Senator
ed and is not responsible therefore, for the made
of his name for the office of U. S. Senator. Having
been elected he will serve his native State in that high
office. The result will prove that Gen. James is what
his votes prove him to have been for years pasta
Whg-hat he will give in the u. S. Senate cheerful
and strong support to all the leading Of the
OF our pay nae M

MR. SEGAR

The day after we made some allusion to the
course of MIR, Segar Of Elizabeth City, with re-
ference to the canal and railroad policy of the
State, we received from him correction of some
points in our article, which we should have no
ticed before this, but. owing to temporary abb
sence from town, and the pressure OF engage
ments, the matter passed from our mind. We
now make amends by publishing the following
extract from Mr.. Segar's note
II did not advocate two winters ago the extension
OF the Central Rail Road to the Ohio There was
no such bill then before the House; but there was one

THE ATLANTIC.

The N. Y. Express reasons that the circum-
stance of the Canadas bringing no news of the
Atlantic, ought not to make us despair of the safe
ty OF the latter steamer. If she put back to
England from being disabled, she would moi pro-
badly have reached port before the Canada
sailed. The average passages of the Canada in
the winter months have been seventeen days long
The Atlantic then might have broken her ma
chinery half away across the Ocean, being some
eight days out. 1t would take her twice the time
ported her arrival. The same reasoning would
hold good, if she had attempted to put into Fay
al. The N. Y. Tribune thinks if she is not
heard from in ten days she is lost
