The Tribune "--senator Sessions.


Lorin B. Sessions has been for four years
senator from the Thirty-second District,
embracing the counties of Chautauqua
and Cattaraugus, New York. In May,
1879, Mr.. Sessions was active and jealous
in behalf of the New York city elevated
railroads and other paying corporate in
terests. The Tribune said:
The zeal of the senator from the Chautauqua
district in opposition to the bill to protect
Nassau street and Broadway against an elevated
railroad is of the interesting, if not of the
most edifying features in the situation at Albany.
hr. Sessions lives a long way from the elevated
railroad-some four hundred miles. or sO-and he
might, without great inconsistency, allow business
men of this city to say what should be done in @
matter of such purely local concern. II may be-
hO1DeUcT tGt not Ir. SesSiORss chief object in
coming TO Albany 10 accumulate reputation. :

their course whether there are some tUlo are not

Hay II, 1879
In the Senate, May 19, 1879, Mr.. Sessions
made speech in reply to the criticisms
Of the Tribune of the 18th. Its Albany
correspondent said:
Senator Sessions followed He was very angry,
and his voice trembled as he spoke. He said that
he had been criticised rather severely in the Tri-
blRe. Senator Sessions then read the editorial in
loud voice TO the senate. The other senators lis
tened with deep interest," but shedRo tears; on the
contrary, there was a broad grin from one end of
the circle to the other while the article being
read, and toward the latter portion some senators
laughed Ioudly-ALbdAy Correspondent NeU York
Tribune, Nay 20, 1879
Continuing its editorial criticism upon
the then, as now, lobbyist-senator, the
Tribune said:
1t augurs i'll for the repute of the closing days
OF the Legislature at Albany to find Mr.. Lorin B.
Sessions playing so prominenta part upon the floor
OF the senate as he has done i'll the last few days.
Every man who is at all familiar with the political
history of the State knows what the record OF Mr..
Sessions is, ilI The lobby and out Of it, and knows also
that it great miStdke to have sent him to
tie senate-a mistake which his constituents are
no. likely, lei US hope, TO repeat. The honest Re-
publicans of Chautauqua and Cattaraugus deserve
70 be represented by different sort of character
The Republicans of the senate should take care
now, however, to have it understood that in his
elevated railroad and other schemes Ar. Sessions
represents himself and is not representative Repub

COMMENTING on the bill for commits
sion to revise the tax laws of New York,
the Tribune said:
Whether the movement to swell the commission
on the tax laws is largely the work of interested
corporations who seek to defeat the bill, =
or whether it is mainly spontaneous movement
among the politicians, with perhaps here and
there a senator, of the character of Mr.. Sessions
dOinghiS best for the corporations, the up
shot of the whole matter will probably be that we
shall have no commission in which case it is To lie
hoped that Mr. Sessions will have his reward
