The Great Senatorial Fight In New York
A Remarkable Editorial.
CHICAGO, May 21sG.-An Albany IN. "
special says 1t will be remembered that on
the last day of the long Senatorial fight
year ago, Speaker Sharpe deserted from the
stalwart ranks, which resulted in the election
of Senator Miller, and few days later in the
then, and the statement has been repeated
since, that his action was influenced by the
expectation of political reward. The reiter-
alton of the charge in an article by the New
York Sun has called forth remarkable edi-
torial from the Kingston Freeman, which is
considered Sharpe's organ. After commenting
on Mr.. Conkling's anxiety for re-
election, and the efforts of his friends
to induce him to withdraw from the
contest, it says The Freeman was the first
to sound the note of revolt. 1t stood by
Messrs. Cor king and Platt conscientiously
as Icing as Mr.. Depew remained in the field,
for it believed that its duty TO the State and
party demanded the defeat Of railroad lob
byist, General Sharpe following the Freeman
before the close of the week in support of Mr.
Miller, the candidate for Mr.. Piatt's seat
But it will be remembered that he hesitated
several days before DESERVING Mr.. Conkling.
Could the cause of the delay be fully ex.
planned great many who now censure Gen.
Sharpe would be loudest in his praise. 1t
will suffice for the present purpose to say
that when his Meditation to break from
Conkling became known, he was made &C
quaiuted with bargain which was about
consummated in New York for the election
of Mr.. Conkling and a candidate of Gould
and Vanderbilt, and that at least
one OF these magnates had interested
himself in the arrangement, and would use
his Influence for its contamination. Docu.
ments In proof Of this statement are in ex-
istencs. They place in singular light Mr..
Conkliug's assumed disinterestedness. They
show that lie was resolved to be Senator on
any terms and by whatever means. General
Sharpe was astonished and shocked at the
disclosure. He had already suffered in feel
ings beyond expression, for he felt that to
continue the controversy originating over
one of The Presidents appointments, while
the President lay upon his deathbed, was not
only in bad taste but brutal. Nevertheless
he was faithful in his friendship until the
fact was revealed to him by documents, the
truth of which he could not dispute, that the
ex-senator was willing to go beyond the
limits of his Wanted integrity and resort to
