EXCITING STATE POLITICIANS.
The Outlook in the Senator aud Speaker
Contests In New York.
NEw York, December Mr.. James ID.
Warren did not return from his Washington
trip last night, but he is expected to-day.
1t is supposed that he will be the bearer Of
important political news when he does
arrive concerning the intentions of Presi-
dent Arthur. John NJ. Dayy and Postmas-
ter Hunt, of Rochester, and Collector Pierce,
Of Canandaigua, returned to their homes
during the day. The corridors of both the
Gilsey House and the Fifth Avenue Hotel
were comparatively clear Of Republican
politicians and privates in the evening.
Dwight Lawrence was the sole member of
the Old Guard on duty at the Fifth Avenue,
while Norris Winslow, of Jefferson county,
watched and waited in the Gilsey House for
somebody or something that had not turned
up at midnight. John W. Vrooman, Sec
retary of the Republican State Committee,
was registered at that hotel. He leaves
here to-day on trip to Havana, his physi.
clan having, prescribed sea voyage as the
best possible tonic for man who is slowly
recovering from the effects Of an aggravated
attack Of Blaine magnetism. Mr.. N. Dsyy,
of Brooklyn gossiped about the Senatorial
and Speakership questions at the Hoffman
House, but concluded by saying that he was
out of politics and was interested in nothing
but the money out of his legitimate business
of contracting.
Hotel Loungers.
Some Of those loungers around the hotels
OF an evening who know the local statesmen
thought they detected disposition on the
part of anti Arthur men to get up confer
euce. Clarence Meade, of the Thirteenth
District, hustled about the Fifth Avenue
Hotel and intimated as much. 1t was sug.
gested that perhaps the boys scented
something, and that it was in the nature OF

will be called upon to settle matters the first
week OF the session are. unfortunately, not
above the suspicion OF being more interest.

ing when it will become necessary for the
Republican leaders Of this end of the State
10 indicate for whom they intend 10 vote
their Assemblymen A Agentleman who is
usually pretty accurate in his knowledge Of
political affairs says that the following mem
bers will be delivered to Levi p. Morton
for Senator and George u. Erwin for
Speaker: Gen. Harry Heath, Lewis A.
Meyer and James A. Taylor, Of Kings;
Lucas L. Van Allen, Charles Smith, John
P. Rockefeller and J. p. Windolph, Of New
York, and Thomas A. Smith, OF Queens.
He saws that it will be found impossible to
defeat the Morton Erwin combination. 1t
is generally believed that the friends Of the
President must possess great strength, else
the latter's choice of becoming Senator
would not be so seriously discussed every
time knot of politicians talk about the
Senatorship. The ability Of a candidate is
not SO much considered by some OF them
as his possibilities of defeating Arthur.
The Initiation.
il was reported about the hotels, while
Mr.. Blaine was in the city, that one Of the
objects of his visit was to initiate the Blaine
men of the State into the mysteries Of a
plan 10 defeat Arthur should his friends
urge his claims to the Senatorship. Said
an Arthur man from the interior: That's
what made Blaine some enemies among
good Republicans. He is persistently
poking his fingers into the affairs Of differ
ent States Ifit is the desire OF any Of his
imprudent followers TO awaken factional
feeling and to 90 in with the cry, Anything
to beat Arthur why let them come on
they'll find that more Arthur men will turn
up in the Legislature than they dreamed
possible. I'm opposed TO Mr.. Arthur enter
ing into contest. and I'm equally opposed
TO any talk from Mr.. Blain5's friends to the
effect that he shall be wiped out if he does
come into the fell. Mr. Arthurs friends
worked hard for Mr.. Blaine, and now that
the party is defeated, not through any fault
of theirs. they re not in any mood to listen
to any threats or nonsense from Mr. Blaine 8
friends. find that the business men and
Republicans generally, outside Of some poll
tlcians, are very well satisfied with the
Arthur administration and that q great
many of them would not be opposed TO see
ing further bonors bestowed upon him.
However, hope be won't 90 into any con-
est. He holds an excellent position in The
party TO day, and he'u keep it He'll have
The respect Of the country when he does
leave his Office, anyway"
Gone to Syracuse.
Congressman Frank Hiscock has gone to
Syracuse. Letters are said to be flying
over the State urging his selection to the
SenatorshIp II is too early yet TO deter
mine where his strength can possibly come
from. He will have the three members OF
Onondaga and the Senator Of that district,
Denis Mccarthy. Senator Mccarthy will
be the presiding officer Of the Senate after
Lieut.. Gov. Hill steps into the Office Of Gov
ernor. and that fact may in some way he
utilized to draw few votes TO Mr.. His
cock. Ex.Canal Appraiser VIM: L. Bost-
wick. of Ithaca, Gov. CornelPs old home, is
in this city. He is understood to have said
that Senator Esty and the Republican
member Of Tompkins will be found in sym
paihy with Gov. CornelTs views upon the
senatorship and Speakership when the time
