NEW HAVEN, N.Y. /;


The adapc, "WhatA great fire a LITTLE spark kin

contest now agitatang the republican party Of the
state over the fight for Senatorial hOnOrs between
Orris +. Ferry and EX-GOVERNOR Hawley. While
the battle was Kept within theparty proper there
were strong hopes that it would not exceed q
friendly gladiatorial effort between those two able
and accomplished gentlemen, and that the party
would makeits exit from the conilict united one
and no on fresh victories In the future over the
ed and common enemy, the democracy OF
the State month ago, had any

success Of old-ttme friends for high honors the

courteous discussion of the claims of Hawley and
Ferry the republican press has

The little spark that kinded the fire was the demo-
cratic declaration in favor Of Ferry; and the bel
lows that have famed that fire into connagration
promising to consume the party, are the demo-
cratic organs throughout the State. There can be
NO doubt bun the democrats are the incendiaries
who desired to sweep the republican party nom
their path, that they might erect upon its ruins

the assaults that in future may be made upon II.

Ferry, Hawley and other able leaders have raised liz

The old adherents of Hawley realize this fact, and
IN their sore tribulation charge that Mr.. Ferry Is
