drives to the polls with the young man In whom
she feels an interest and allows him to cast nus
vote This Is a sad sight and one which, we
presume, will be done away with In the course OF
time.
In the convention which renominated Generai
Hustled for the Assembly Judge Robertson gave
the veteran law-maker and parliamentarian dis
tinctly to understand that II he ever TOOK IL InN
his head to decline to run the Republicans OF tne
lid Westminster District Would get mandamus
from the Supreme Court compelling him to take
the field as usual That settles it. The General
is brave man, but even the most fearless VI
warriors stand in awe Of Supreme Court man.
damus 1t is safe to say, therefore, that never
again will he talk Of declining to serve as MS
own successor; if he is ever tempted to do so he
will think, Of that threatened mandamus ana
pause The General and the Hid Westminster
District were evidently made for each other. 1t
may be added that, according to the present out
look, he will be easy winner OF the Speaker
ship of the Assembly Of 1901.
It is learned from The Albany Times that
the Democrats are going to place one OF their
own choice, In the Speakers chair of the next
Assembly of this State. This can only mean that
the Democrats have determined to make the NOM
nation and election Of the Republican, the ma
jority candidate, unanimous. This decision will
be O most sensible one.

Our Jealous free trade neighbor agreed to make
a liberal contribution to the Republican CAM
paign fund if the dates Of these passages were
furnished. 1t admits that one OF the dates has
been supplied One.half of that contribution Is
now due. Does it mean to pay itP OF course.

trict of this city may we'll put forth their best
efforts for the election of their candidate, Cort
landt S. Van Rensselaer,, for he is deserving Of
the heartiest support. An earnest party man. who
for wears has been one Of the hard workers of
his district a capable and experienced lawyer and
q public-spirited and trustworthy citizen, he will
be certain as Congressman to render good and
faithful service.
That Democratic Campaign Book, which has
been so long on the stocks in Washington, will
not. Il is safe to say create much of q sensation
when 1t is finally launched. The plotracted delay
in giving it to the party and the public is at
tributei to the paucity Of material in recent pub
lie affairs that con be made available as arsn-
mcnts in favor Of the Free-Tradc Democracy. The
Republicans have been having their own way too
much lately, and pleasing the people too well, for
their opponents to derive much satisfaction from
what has been going on. For all practical pur-
poses the Campaign Book might as we'll be left
imprinted.
Although there was general disposition to

defiance of Prince Bsmarclss protests he declared
himself opposed to any renewal Of the Anti-Socal-
