NIGHT DISPATCHES
NEW YORK.
A Social Sensation
SELIGMAN ELECTED FROM A
SARATOGA HOTEL.
WADE HAMPTON IN THE NORTH

He had been boarding at the Clareni Ion,
aud Judge Hilton says he came over
when the Grnad Union was opened
and in an ~ostentatious manner de.
manded the best apartments; that
Messrs. Clair & Wilkinson, the man.
ayers, had been instructed to carefully
discriminate AS to their guests, and
Seiigman fell under this discrimina-
ton. Hilton does not consider Selig.
man an orthodox Hebrew, but claims
that he belongs to the Adler liberals.
Hilton, however, denies that there was
any objection to Seliglnan because OF
his religious faith. He says the idea
of the Grand Union Hotel was 10
make 1t a family house, where men
could leave their families during their
absence with perfect security and sat
isfaction. The wishes and prejudices
OF the only class OF people who can or
will support a hotel like this must,
Hilton said, be consulted and followed.
The hotel is run for them and not for
those they dislike. Seligman, Hilton
said, belongs to a class of not Hebrews,
but Jews, with whom this class of
guests, especially tho female portion OF
them, will not associate and whom
they do not wish to be forced to meet
even under the etiquette of the dining
room aud parlor Of a public hotel.
The hotel managers only do their
duty by excluding these disagreeable
people from their hotel. They have
brought the public opinion down on
themselves by q vulgar ostentation
and puffed-u up vanity, an over.weening
display OF condition, q lack Of those
c%onsiderate civilities so much appreci.
ated by good American society, and a
general obtrusiveness that is frequently
disgusting and always Tepuisive to the
we'll bred.
Governor Hampton, OF South Caro-
lima, arrived here yesterday, and left

Shields Guard, at Auburn, New York,
on Wednesday, and will add TO the in.
terest of the occasion the flag which
