THE NEW YORK SENATORIAL
SITUATION.
What the New York Papers Say.

The World says: bradley disclosure
puts out of the question the election of
even one Senator at the present session
of the Legislature. If such an election
could now be effected it would taint and
discredit not only the body by which it
was made, but the man himself so chosen
to be Senator, and il would so threaten
to taint the body to whom he was &C
credited that what took place yesterday
at Albany would be subjected to search
ing and merciless review at Washington.
The Tribune says: ''It has been evi-
dent for the last two or three days that
nothing but a precipitate adjournment
of the Legislature could prevent the
election of the two Republican Senator'S
All the powers of underground intrigue
were put in action to accomplish an ad-
journment by one of those bargains with
the Democrats in (which Mr.. Conkling
and the Vice President have always
found the most fruitful exercise of their
political talents. "
The same says: "The Republican
member of the Legislature who votes
for adjournment without election votes
directly in the interest of the Democratic
party. Every Democratic newspaper
and politician in the State is in favor of
that course. Conkling and Platt are in
favor of it, and thereby become boilers
against their own party. Not Republi-
can member who unites with them will
ever rise to the political surface again. !"
The Times says: ''Unless the bribery
matter can be cleared up more salts.
factorily than it is likely to be, its only
result will be to leave both sides more
embittered than before and the end of
the Senatorial struggle further off than
ever"
Senator Robertson says: cit is a put
up job-a weak invention of the enemy.
You have never heard of an honest man
being approached by lobbyist or vir-
tuous woman by libertine 1t will re-
act on the perpetrators of the fraud, and
before long the author of it will be
brought to light"
Assemblyman Cullinan (Conkling Re-
publican), of 0swego, says. 81 think we
have good case. and what was said in
the Assembly chamber today will be
corroborated.
The World says: Republicans should
ask themselves why ex-senator Conkling
did not send Governor Fosters State
Convention words of cheer like those he
dispatched to Senator Mahone's State
Convention. Perhaps they will get an
answer to the question when they see ex.
Senator Conkling active on the stump in
Virginia for Malone and finl him silent
in Ohio for Foster"
The New York Post, alluding to the
bribery business, says: Either Mr..
Bradley or Mr.. Sessions has periured
himself; if the former, it is perjury
coupled with conspiracy; if the other, it
is perjury coupled with bribery. The
criminal character of the acts charged is
so grave that nobody should pronounce
judgment without having full and con-
elusive evidence before him. Since the
charge of bribery is made on one, and
the charge of conspiracy on the
other side, neither can afford
to speak now of an immedi-
ate adjournment If the Conkling men
vote to adjourn now they will lay them
selves open to the suspicion that this
whole bribery case is only 'put-up job,
and that the conspirators want to stihe
inquiry in order to escape detection, If
the anti COnkling men vote to adjourn
now, it will be justly suspected that
there has been bribery and that they
want to cover it up. Those who now
speak OF adjourning put themselves in
the wrong. Let members of the Legis.
lature understand this clearly. Allthose
OF them who respect themselves will stay
and see tbs matter out.
