Hampton saying: 81 think it very import.
aut, especially to the South, that the Demo

A Plea for Gorham.
WASHINGTON, November 1Sth.-The Star
this evening prints letter from ex-senator
Dorsey denying the report, which originated
in that paper, that he is candidate for Sec
re.ary of the United States Senate. He also
saws @ | served as 2 member of the Senate
for six years, and that fact alone, If there
were no other reasons, would prevent me ac-
cepting the subordinate position indicated
but beyond this | am not . candidate for that
or any other place and shall accept none. Ii
the Senate should be reorganizsd on the 4th
of March next, or two years from that time,
and new Secretary is to be chosen, 1t seems
to me that George g. Gorham ought to be
selected to fill the position he occupied fol
eleven years with great credit TO himself ano
honor to the Senate. Ii any change takes
place the Senate will honor itself, its history
and traditions more than it would Mr.. Cor
ham by restoring him to his old place"
