Harris, 1; Crowley, 1; butcher, /. When
the name of G. III. Russell was called, he
said: "On each vote / have thus far voted
Senators; they were my choice, and my
judgment at the time led me to give them
my support without desiring to make any
distinction between these two gentlemen.
l regarded Conkling as the ideal Senator.
l have, however, just returned from my
constituents, and am convinced by such
evidence as should satisfy any fair-minded
person that nine-tenths Of the Republic
cans are opposed to the return Of the late
Senators. I have a duty to perform to the
Republicans who sent me here, and hat is
to give voice to their sentiments, and /
therefore vote for Cornell"

20; Herman, 81; Depew, 81; Lapham, 4;

journed.
Bra.iy's star Ronte Organ.
CHICAGO, June S.-The Tribune edi-
torially says Not the least affection put
upon the late Senator Conkling in these
trying times is the affectionate sympathy
and support of Tom Brady's Washington
Star Route organ, and his imported Merino
editor, George c.. Gorham, formerly of
California, but later of nowhere. Mr..
Gorham is a political Ishmaelite, who was
read out of his party at home, and who was
declared by a hundred Republican Clubs
In California last year to be no Republic
can. It'll we'll known that the support Of
Conkling by the Merino editor and the
Star Rout organs proprietor is entirely
due to investigations now going IN in the
Postofice Department. The support of
these delectable persons might have been
purchased at any time by stopping the Star
Rout prosecutions, and every gun in this
arsenal could be spiked tomorrow by the
judicious distribution of a dozen pardons
for criminal offenses signed in blank.
