The Maine Senatorship.
New YORK. January .. The Tribune of
Tomorrow will say We have receive nu-
merous communications from Maine. giving
views in each case of the writer touching the
contest now progressing in that State for the
between Hale and Frye. We
can see no good to result from publishing any
of these letters. on one side or the other. The
matter belongs primarily and properly to the
people of Maine to settle, and we have
no desire in the premises, except that the
result may be such as will strengthen and
not weaken the republican party. Papers in
Maine are discussing the question with no
little warmth and we observe some discreet
observations in the Portland Press. taking the
ground that Maine needs the services of both
Hale and Frye in Congress, and for that
reason it advocates election Of Hale to the
Senate. What the Press says for the State of
Maine we venture to say for the country at
large.
Both Frye and Hale are widely known and
highly esteemed for their services in public
life, and the republicans of every State
would regret to see either of them retire.
Frye represents district very strongly re-
publican and can be returned at will. He
has besides an exceedingly promising pros
pect of being elected Speaker of the next
House, and if not he will. as the Portland
Press points out, he chairman of the Ways
md Means committee and leader of the
House, a position as desirable as a senator.
