EX.MINISTER MORTON
SAID TO BE BLAINE'S CANDI-
DATE FOR
The United States Senate From New
YOrk-Miller, His Contestant, Is
COnkliDg's Friend.

Nav YoRK, November l2.-I seems
to he aettled, 80 far at least as the ma
chine leaders can settle it, that Lsvi
P. Morton will be the next United
States Senator from New York ii
ine-Cornell-Platt combination can
elect him This was the upsbot OF
Mr.. Blaine's recent visit to New York.
The SeDatorship was the chief ohjec!
OF his visit, and his choice Of Mr.. Nor
ton received its public acknowledge
ment throughout the city last night.
Mr.. Morton and Mr.. Blaine were
not political allies in 1880. 1t was
then commonly credited to Mr.. Blaine
that Mr.. Morton was not named by
Garfield as Secretary OF the Treasury
"a place be had been promised for
his very material services in the cam
paign. He was cent to the Fiench
mission, instead. Since his return,
negotiations have been constant, and
they have been successful in forming
the combination above named. Every
Blaine, Cornell or Plat man in New
York City last night had nothing to
talk OF except the advantages to the
Republican party of electiDg Mr.. Nor
ton Senator Said Gen. George III.
Sharpe, OF Ulster:
I'VE need q man who can properly
organize the patty in New York City"
Gen. Sharpe is an authoritative
spokesman OF practically all three
factions. But Senator Warner Miller
has been working like a beaver in
every Legislative district for six
months back. 1t is reported that he
CT inns a certain majority iu the eau
Gus by personal pledges, no matter
what is the combination against him.
The first fight will be on the Speaker
ship, and the result will probably de-
eide the more important contest.
Frank B. Arnold, OF 0rsego, is said to
be the Morton candidate.
Assemblyman I. @. Tesle, OF Green
county, was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
yesterday, and in conversation on the
Senatorial contest he expressed the
opinion that Morton was the coming
man. "The fight is likely to be close,
he said, "between Morton and Miller,
but think the chances are strongly
in Morton's favor. Hisccck will not
have more than ak votes in the eau.
Gus, and is practically out Of the race. y
Gen. J. w. Hustled came up at that
moment and overheard Mr.. Tea e's re-
mark. Hustled was asked who he
thought would be the next Senator
ON the Empire State. "The man
who gets the most vctes," he replied,
facetiously.
"Who will that bs~
81 cou d not tell you, really"
"Are you candidate, General ?"
inquired friend.
"Thers's a constitutional provision
which makes a member of the Legis-
lature ineligible. However" he added
"there's no constitutional provision to
prevent the United States Senate adj
hitting a member Of the Legislature
if he should happen to be elected.
The Senate, you know, has full juris'
diction over the qualifications OF its
own members"

Hudson, colored, who pleaded guilty
to incest in the criminal court Wednes-

terday morning. He saturated his
clothes and the bed upon which he
was lying in his cell with coal oil, and

was attracted by the smoke, however,

He gave as the reason tor his attempt
at suicide that he was afraid he would
be hanged for bis crime.
