A Republican Senator Assemblyman from tho
interior of the State may have his choice of three
raj Rooms In as many hotels In this city in which
to free his mind about the senatorship lie may
go to the Fifth Avenue. where he will find Senator
Miller in a pleasant apartment on the ground floor
on the Twenty thrd-st. side of the house: " tho
Everett House. where on the second floor front Levi
z. Morton has rooms that he visits every morning:
to tho Glsey House, where John w. Vrooman has
Ira Dayenports old headquarters O council
for Mr.. MIXERS adherents. The Morton men think
that the proximity OF Senator Milers rooms t' tho
side entrance Of the Fifth Avenue reveals inten-
ton his part to have good many secret visitors.
while Mr. Miler's supporters believe that Mr.. Morton
has Put his rooms in 3 dark corner Of the Everett
Houe with the purpose OF concealng sone OF bis
operations.
For the past two days there has been contest
between Mr. Mortons and Mr. Mier's agents for tho
[ossess on Of tie clef rooms in the Delavan House
at Albany, In which building the senatorial conflict
will have its centre in January. Congressman Henry
G.. Burlegh, vi Whitehall. has engaged tho chief
headquarters for Mr. Miller tho large room on tho
second floor OF the Delavan House at the corner OF
Broadway and Steuben sts. II the headquarters
Of Ira Harris when he was elected in 1861.
and of Senator Fenton when no was elected in 1899
and 1t the headquarters Of Senator Conklng when
he defeated in 1851. Mr.. Mortons friends viii
have as their headquarters a large at the other
end Of tbs corridor MIR. kur.eigh engaged senator
Mler's rooms from January /, which leads the Nor
ton people to think that tho Miller men propose to

lie therefore read With much interest the statement
of exCongressman John NJ Davy, of Rochester. In
yester avs TRIBUNE that Senator Miner's "success

Davy. Il think" he said last night, that Mr. Da,y
has mlsread The minds Of the Republican farmers OF
this State. lnlccd, an astonlshed at his statement
that they pleased with what senator Miller has
done. The fact Is that they that the tax Of two
cents pound on oleomargarine Is not checking it,
SALE and 1t would be astonishing If the tax should
do considering the relative prices OF butter and OK
oleomargarine. 10 q great extnt Senator Mhlers

In my opinion tho farmers arc beginning TO Think
that tie passage of such law was mistake AMI
that they have been deluded. The House of Repw.
sentatives desired 10 impose tax Of ten cents pound
tax down to five cents. and were glad to make tho
compromise Then the senate took tho bll and there
the tax further reduced from five cents To TWO
cents. That naturally gratfed the oeomaredr!no
