whole legislative career BAKER has been
classcd among the commercial members
| by the lobby. In the last Senate he was n
member Of the Railroad Committee, and
| the clcik Of that committee has recently
made an nnijavit that BAKER told him he
hnd made $4,000 through his connection
with that committee. 80 obnoxious hns
BAKER become, especially in Washington
county, whore nc lives, that the best men
In the Republican party almost unani-
| mourlv protested against his denomination.
The veteran THtRfow WEED wrote let
ter regrettinE that his health was such as
to prevent his visiting the district and APP
pcaling personally to friends " to oppose
nomination which will bring discrcdit upon
themselves and their district" Last week
"a convention OF Republicans opposed to
BAKERS election was held in Washington
county, and an address wns issued charg
ing that ne had secured the nomination by
corrupt ana unfair means and a resolu-
ton protesting against his election was
adopted
II the Eightecn;h District NoRRIs WHY'S
Low, the man whom IloUAcE GEIELEy de-
nomocd as one OF the most corrupt and
subservcut OF TwEED's tools, has also
succeeded after n hard struggle in getting
himself rcu mtultcd. There is strong
fccliue against linn among the respectable
Republicans II the district, hundreds OF
whom will refuse 10 vote for him. WINS
LOW Is very wealthy, having. it is said,
saved more mon, y ont of his IS per day III
Albany than any mau who has sat IN the
Senate since tho notorious MATTooN, and
he will spend il freely 10 secure his re-
election.
LoRAN l.. LtwIs has ll.cw ise succeeded
iu securing nomination In The Erie dis
tuct. Th, prospects for the defeat of this
figure head OF the Canal Ring arc, how
ever encouraging. The Democrats have
put in nomination against him the Hon.
JouN GANsoN, mn able and popular man,
who viii receive the support Of large
number of Republicans.
In the Twenty ninth District GEORGE
Row IN has been shelved 10y the Repub-
licans and will retire To private life, from
which II j. to be hoped he will never again
emerge. The Thirtioth District has like
wise rcpudiatcd the notorious JAMES
WooD. notwitiIs landing his piteous ap-
pCuls for a denomination rs u finishing
coat Of whitcws>h to oblilerate his past
record.
In the Twcuty-third District there is
trouble Ter senator GRAHAM. Schoharc
county has r,pudiatcd him aud bolted tho
Convention, which adjourn, for week in
order 20 give the Senator time to try and
fix things. This he failed to do, and on
Tuesday the Convention rtassemblod and
nominated JANEs :. THOMPSON,
At last, wcrcpcat, IL seems that day OF
reckoning has come for those Senators who
havcso long been reproach to the state
WoopIS and BAKER repudated 10y theirpo-
litital associates as corrupt, bad men; Bow
IN and JIM WuoD refused II denominations
aud WGNsLow and LEWIS denounced by nll
good men, with the prospect of defeat
before them. All Of these men were IN the
Legislature OF $50 aud voted for Boss
TwELD'r charter. FRANCIS {. THAyER was
also member of the Senate at that time,
and was the only Republican in that
body who voted against TwEED's charter.
Would II not be a sanitary lesson to all
corrupt politicians If these men were left
at home this fall while DIR. THArER is
elected Secretary Of state?
