W. NJ HAWKINS AND AMks BAKER DENY THAT
THEY FAVOR HIM FOR SENATOR.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE rRIBuSE.I

BUFFALO, Nov. 20.-The discovery by DEM
ocratic newspapers that Roscoe Conkng is to be elected
United States by combination OF the RcpuD-
can and Democratic members OF the next legislature Is
amusing Republicans here. Mr. Butler Editor OF The
Buffalo Ners the dscOverer OF Cleveland first perceived
the remarkable alliance In Mr. Conkings favor Sweep
ing his ewes over the state, he quickly saw fourteen
Conkng stawarts. members OF the incoming Le8isa-
ture who would unite with the Democratic members In
the election OF Mr. Conking as Senator. Then Mr..
Butler did a rash thing. lilo named the men, That has
enabled the Republicans thus nbelcd one after the
other to stand up and declare that they never had
thought of acting with the Democracy IN the election OF
a Senator. Two OF them did so to-day. They were
william NJ Hawkins and Anes Baker. the Republican
Assemblymen elect from this county OF Erie Said Mr..
Hawkins:
