WASHINGTON, November 15.-The Star
prints Q letter from ex-senator Dorsey, de-
nying the report which originated in that
paper-that he is q candidate for the Sec
retaryship Of the United States Senate.
He also says: II served as q member Of
the Senate for six years, and that fact
alone, il there were no other reasons,
would prevent me from accepting the SUBJ
ordinate position indicated but beyond
this, l am not q candidate for that or any
other place, and will accept none. If the
Senate is to be reorganized on the 4th Of
March next, or two years from that time,
and q new Secretary is to be chosen, it
seems to me that Mr.. George G. Gorham
ought to be selected to fill the position he
occupied for eleven years, with great credit
to himself and honor to the Senate. II
any change takes place, the Senate will
honor itself. its history and traditions,
more than it would Mr.. Gorham, by re-
storing him to his old place.
