THE NEW YORK sENATORsHIP.
How President Arthur Stands in Rela.
tion to Ii.
NEW YORK. Dec 4.

New YORK. Dec. 8.
The Tribune says Ii was ascertained
pretty definitely. yesterday, what line Of
action has been decided upon by President
Arthur's friends with reference to the New
York senatorship, at a conference in Wash
ington. Mr.. Arthur persisted, in relation to
the position all along imputed to him, that he
would not enter into the struggle or contest
for the place. Thereupon, he was asked what
his action would be in the event that a
majority of the republican members of the
assembly should clearly show their prefer
ence for him as candidate. His reply is
understood to have been such that General
Sharpe has undertaken to make at once a
thorough canvass of the assembly to see
exactly what strength the President would
have in case he became a candidate. II the
canvass shows fair probability of the Presi-
dents selection by them, they confidently
expect him to permit the use of his name
This is current report uptown, and is con-
frmed in many directions.
