Called sessions of the Senate at the

Called sessions of the Senate at the
commencement of new administrations
have been quite common in the histo-
,ry Of this country. They are neces-
isary. for the confirmation of appoint
ments ; but the session just closed has
been unusually protracted by Repub-
llcan Senators, who we're unable to
reconcile their differences, although
their control of the Senate itself de-
pended upon the uncertain assistance
of Malone. As a pretense for STAY
ing off the confirmation of Robertson,
certain Senators insisted that the
special business for which they had
been convened should not be. taken
up until after the Senate had been
recognized by the selection of new
and Republican officers, so as to
render dependence upon Malone
more certain and reliable. For many
weeks the Democratic Senators rem
dered the latter part of this pro-
gramme impracticable. Neither Cor
hams or Riddleberger's election could
be reached, and in the meantime, the
country became disguised with what
was attempted, and after more gas
and twaddle in the Senate and in
Republican caucuses than has ever
been known, Senators Conkling and
Platt determined to leave the appoint
ments and administration in tile hands
of the Democracy, who speedily con
firmed most of the Presidents ap-
pointments and adjourned. The
course taken by Conkling and Platt
to accomplish this was to resign their
seats and appeal to the legislature of
their State in session at Albany for
an endorsement of their opposition
to Blaine and Garfield, and now the
all-important question in New York
is whether that shall be given to them.
This is a matter the New York Re-
publicans ought to settle themselves.
The issue being made at Albany is
quite different from that presented to
the Senate, on which Mr.. Conkling
occupied the untenable position that
the President had not the constitu-
tional right to nominate whom he
saw fit for the New York Collector
ship. The question that is being
debated before the Legislature of
New York is only a party concern. 1t
involves only the pledges made by
Garfield to those who supported him
in New York, and the expectation Of
emolument thereby created and
the evidence the nomination of Rob-
ertson gives that the President has
repudiated all promises to the stall
warts, in all of which neither side is
entitled to Democratic sympathy or
support.
