TIE RESIGN ALTON Of the two New York
Senators is creating much sensation in the
,,litical circles Of New York and WASH
;nuton. The two worthless may gain addi-
t;nnal popularity, thcv have certainly pro-
=. led no little ridicule. The we'll worn
question !, ..wl,o il PRESIDENT" will now enjoy
;ts much needed repose, and the Senate
NAV now be able to attend to the business
which has SO long ornamented the Speakers
table. during the stormy sittings of the
Who shall. rule session.
The New York Times In commenting
m the resignation, says: In this city the
.,,ost common sentiment was i,npatience
and disgust that the State should have been
,,,d. me laughing stock of the country by
, childish display ofternper OH the part Of
;,s S.nutors. Some effect was anticipated
a., the sensitive Of Wall Street, but, rs a
~, ,r,,,,;nent bank officer remarked. Conk.
i;ru. views and actions never had much
weight in financial circles.
The Sun SAYS the resignation Of the two
New York Senators is highly sensational
proceeding. The only argument that can
,w presented justifvin1 such a manifesto.
t;,n Is that a. the Republican Administra.
tion and the Republican majority of the
senate have resolved to appoint to that Of.
t;ce in this State which controls the opinions
and votes the greatest number Of men, de.

and as this seems to involve the policy OF
uusparing hostility toward the two Senators,
it becomes proper f',r them to return their
trusts into the hands Of the Legislature in
