NEW WORKS. sFNATOR.ELECr

NEW YORK = SEN ATOH-ELECE
In the matter of brains the State of New
York will certainly have q better Repre-
sentative in the United States Senate when
Mr.Willism M. Eysrts, on the 4th OF March,
succeeds Mr.. E. G. Laphsm. Mr.. Evarts has
long courted the Senatorial honor. Twenty
four years ago be was a candidate before the
Republican caucus of the New York Lsgis
lsture, with Horace Greeley his principal
rival. Neither OF these being able to secure
a majority, both were dropped for Ira Har-
RS. In politics the new Senator has been
Republican from the organization OF that
party, and never less than rigidly partisan.
&c will be particularly remembered by
Democrats for having been in 1877 the prin-
cipal advocate of the Republican party
before the Electoral Commission which de-
frauded Samuel J. Tildeu of the Presidency
and gave it to Rutherford B. Hayes. It was
this service which commended him so prom
inently to the Hayes administration and
promptly secured for him the appointment
CT Secretary of State.
AS lawyer and scholar, William NJ. Evsrts
enjoys marked reputation. He has received
the degree of LID. from Union College,
Harvard and Yale, from the latter of which
he graduated in 1887. He studied in the
Harvard Law School under Judge Story and
Professor Greenleaf, and began the practice
Of Law in New York in 1871. He gained dis

career. and has been connected with many

C. c. Baldwin ESQ.,:
DEAR SIR-Please accept my thanks for
your kind letter of the 10Th inst I have
not seen the book to which you refer, and
never had any acquaintance with its author.
As never thought DR.. Benjamin franklin
mean man, or that be was unable 10 con-
ceive any higher object than tbs sccum1 la-
ton OF money, the author, in ascribing TO
me such statement, has certainly uttered a
falsehoed.
He must be very ignorant OF our political
history who does not know OF the eminent
service DR.. Franklin rendered his country,
both at home and abroad; and equally ieno-
rant must be be IN regard 10 the scientific
investigations Of the last century, who could
honestly attribute to any educated Amer
lean the opinion that DR.. Franklin had no
higher object than the accumulation OF
money. The maxims Of Poor Richards Alma

Of the Way to Wealth, /" do not, like yours
teach morality, piety and flisl reverence, but
are directed to the end OF becoming rich. A
people who should adopt the way to
Wealth. as their Bible would generally be-
come worshippers at the shrine OF Mamm0n.
1t may sometimes happen that pure man
by too much questioning may loosen the re-
strsints needful 70 lower natures than his
own, and thus start them along paths OF
vice which he never would have trod. Dr..
FTanklin's unquestioneble integrity, patriot
ism, love of truth, OF science and Of hls fell
bowman should relieve him from the doom
of standing as the type OF such characters
as his maxims may have formed. Your
marginal note on the slsnderous imputstion
against me is clearly justified by my convic.
tons and by all which can be possibly true.
Such lies are often uttered, probably because
there is no dread Of exposure-sectionsl
hate being sufficient to c0ndone the bass
crime If convicted.
