The Senatorships.

1t seems that, after all. Senator
Cockerell is to have opposition; this is
as it should be. We see no reason
why the great seed distributor should
hold a monopoly ofthe thing, neither
do We believe it absolutely necessary
that the one law finn should furnish
both the governor and a United States
senator. That Mr.. Allen would make
a better United States Senator than
Cockerell We do not pretend to say, but
We do not know OF any great thing
which the present senator has done to
entitle him to any claims upon the
people ofMissouri, or even upon the
democratic party. We are not of the
class who believe that the poorer the
stick who is sent, the better, because it
may disgust the people and help to
make the state republican. But we
would like to see the best men in the
democratic party sent, as long as we
must have democrat, neither d. we
think it adds anything to the dignity of
the state or to the party who sends
him, to chose man like Cockerell, who
figured as a guerrilla and fought the
Union soldiers as such during the war,
a second time to the United States
senate, unless that is the class of men
that the Missouri legislature desires to
honor. There certainly must be other
democrats in Missouri who are more
able than the present senator, and
who would add more to the dignity of
the state.

The Richmond Dispatch, democrat.
ic, makes this very candid avowal:
$50 far as outsiders can judge, the re.
moval of MIR. Kelly will result in the
continued defeat of the democratic
party of the state OF New York for a
number of years. Nevertheless. We
are confident that Mayor Cooper did
what was best for the people Of New
York and the democratic party when
he removed Mr.. Kelly. lfa party
cannot succeed without allowing its
Offices to be parceiled out by bosses,
nor without acknowledging them as
dictators. then the sooner it is disband-
ed the better"

got the knot united. He buried the
nickel, carried the towel in. received
the ice, and came out; but not for the
nickel. Oh no? The Doctor must be
left under the impression that the nick

ried to the Office, and Jeff came back
like flash, secured his cash, galloped
to the beef stand, and in a few min
