SENATOR coSKLING AS THE NEW YORK cASDI-

SENATOR coNKLING AS THE NEW YORK CANDI-
DATE.
From the New York Sun, April Isl
There is one argument in favor OF Mr.. ConkIng's
nomination which his supporters have not urged with
adequate zeal II is just sixty years since the party
opposed the democracy selected its Presidential can
erasls ran Rufus King Of this State sort Of for
lorn hope against James Monroe, but without the
slightest expectation Of electing him. In the long pc
Rod which has interviewed, and during which tho
federasis passed away and the whg party rcso and,
after ilustrous career disappeared and the rerub
hcan party formed and hnally came into
power and has ruled the country Tor sixteen
years. the Presidential candidate Of the anti democratic
party has never been citizen OF New York. And yet
all through this cyentful epoch in the history OF the ma
ton New York has been in every particular the fore
most state IN the Union. and at nearly every frcsi-
dental election her vote has decided the contest.
In view OF these striking facts may not the friends OF
Senator Conklng insist that his nomination would De
an act OF simple justice the republicans OF New
York; The opposition TO tho democracy for two gen.
eratons past has selected its candidates Tor President
from Massachusetts, Kentucky. Ohio LOUISIANA, New
Jersey California and Illinois, and twice from
Massachusetts, twice from Kentucky, and four times
from Illinois, but not once from the state wnicn IN
wealth. commerce. trade, and almost IN population mas
been the equal Of all OF them combined And the nomi-
nation Of this party for Vice President has only been
accorded to New York twice In these sixty years
very vigorous effort was made to repair this wrong
to New York IN 1860. Governor Seward was pressed
upon the Gu icago Convention as the iavoritc OF the
State in whicL he born and in whose affairs he
had taken so conspicuous part But the appeal was
In vain. The Convention at Cincinnati will afford an
opportunity for rectfyng this inequality and recog
nizing the claims OF this great Stale.
We presume the friends OF Senator Conklng will not
fail TO take possession Of the argument we PROFOUND,
or TO make the most OF il 1T the approaching sonvcn-

Burglars entered the residence of Mr..

ticles of silver ware and jewelry to the
value of about $40. The window was fasten-
ed down by means of a sash button at the
top OF the lower sash, which the burglars
pushed aside by means OF a thin blade, and

stolen were OF much more value to the
