lican.
WASHINGTON, November 1Sth.-Dewitt
Clinton Wheeler, of New York, arrived in
Washington to-day, and has talked politics
to local reporter. He says he does not
know who will succeed Mr.. Lapham in the
Senate, but adds: Mr.. Arthur won't be a
candidate for the place: / mean that ne
won't go before the Legislature and make a
fight for the place. You understand me.
If it should turn out that they could unite
on him, he would accept. | think. When

and see who we have in the Legislature, |
shall know something definite about 1t.
There are lots of men mentioned who
might succeed Mr.. Lapham. Hiscock
Cornell and Others are spoken off Conk-
ling is seriously spoken of also" Mr.
Wheeler says that he don't know whether
there is any chance for Conkling's election.
and sagely observes ''They accuse
Conkling of working against Blaine, don't
know whether he did or not; but of
course he will get the credit of it, because his
county reversed Garfield's majority. The
same thing happened in Niagara county
that's Crowley's home. They accused
Crowley of deserving Blaine, Now | know

he is all broken up by the result of the
election, and says there were a thousand
things which contributed to Blaines defeat
" You can't say which one in particular
did it. Before Blaine came into the State
from Ohio he could have carried it by
%, eco majority. As soon as he came into
the State he was the victim of all sorts of
adverse circumstances. Field was reSpon-
sible for that dinner, and then-well, you
know all about Burchard Sixty thousand
at least 10000 Republicans in the State

Pertinent Suggestions.
New YORK, November 18th-The Tri6-
une, in a leader advises the Republican
Senate TO make use of all its opportunities
to prevent the next Administration from
violating the principles of civil service
reform. 1t says: If Democratic Pres .
ldent sends in appointments contrary to
the intent and spirit of reform, it is the
duty of the Senate TO reject them. If APP
pointments are made for the purpose of
buying up influence or TO reward political
treachery, q Republican Senate will con-
slider whether such prostitution Of the
appointing power is in the line of civil ser
vice reform. Moreover, it will become the
immediate duty of the Senate to inquire,
on behalf of the Republicans of the nation,
whether true self-govenment exists III GER
tain Southern States, and what remedy is
needed or possible; whether 1853 votes of
the solid South, fraudulently obtained,
shall hereafter govern the country, regard
less of the views of the people, whenever
they may be able to capture a small frag
ment of the votes of the North"
