The unanimous nomination OF Senator
Conkling by the Republican caucus OF the
New York legislature, i a settlement OF the
New York Senatorial question such as no
body expected 70 see, a year ago, and such
as never occurred in New York before. Mr.
Conkling i the first Senator who has been
reelected from New York since the days OF
William H. Seward. and there were not
many who were accorded that honor before
Mr. Seward. Rufus King. Silas Wright,
Nathaniel P Tallmage. and, in the very
earliest days, under the first State constita-
ton, Philip Schuyler. and perhaps one
other. were reelected New York has
treated her Senators and Representatives
alike in this respect and to the shortness
Of their terms, more than 10 any lack Of
ability in the men, may be attributed the
secondary place they have taken in Con
gressional counsels. Daniel 5 Dickinson,
Preston King, Edwin d. Morgan and Ira
Harris, the last four New York Senators,
were not reelected Mr. Conkling' second
term will probably be more brilliant than
the first, and it is expected that in the re
assignment Of the committees next Decem-
Der, he will receive several promotions One
Of them will probably be to the committee
on foreign relations. which Is the height Of
almost every senator ambition.
