The New York senatorship.

Notwithstanding the efforts of the New
York Herald in behalf OF Charles A Dana
for United States senator TO succeed Sena-
tor Evarts, the reports from Albany do not
contain anything encouraging for him. he
is a very aole man, and be would be con-
spicuous figure in the United States Senate,
but it is question whether he would be
such representative Of New York dsmoc-
racy as the Democratic party would like TO
have in the Senate. There are half dozen
or more candidates, no one OF whom at
present has a decided lead. A caucus Of
democrats will be held next Monday night,
and it may be that a candidate will be
chosen at that time.
Among the democrats Of the legislature
there is good deal of complaint of Gov.
Hill because nf his apparent disposition to
play the part Of a boss. He has not yet
given any indication Of bis choice for sena-
tor. but he is reported to be confident that
the caucus will submit to his dictation in
the matter. He may be mistaken in this. A
very independent feeling is cropping out,
and the governor may meet with very
great disappointment.
The impression is that be wants a senator
chosen who will be able TO help him
in his campaign for the democratic
presidential nomination. If he is not
misjudged ali his plans are made
with the view of improving his presidential
prospects. That being the case he will
hardly show preference in the senatorial
contest until the time for action comes.
1t seems TO be admitted that he can have
the senatorship, but he does not seem to
want 1t. The consensus of opinion is that
he wants to be reelected, thinking that as
governor Of the great state of New York
his chances for the presidential nomination
would be better than they would be if he
were a senator.
He must have very hopeful tempera-
ment. At present their are no signs that he
will have ghost of chance for the presi-
dential nomination. The Democratic party
is not looking in his direction at all, aud it
is not probable that anything will occur to
cause it to give him serious thought. Mr.
Cleveland is already as good as nominated.
However, there is nothing to prevent Gov.
Hill from thinking that he is a presidential
probability.

The Blanchard Resolution.

The investigation asked for by Repre-
sentative Blanchard, Of Louisiana, of tho
methods by which New Hampshire was
wrenched from the control of the democrats
and turned over TO the republicans, ought
to be had. or course Senator Chandler, of
New Hampshire, objects. He doesn't want
an investigation. He is one Of the sort of
men who want the acts of other people in
vestigated, but who protest violently when
it is proposed t. investigate their acts The
Blanchard resolution touches him on ten
der spot. He it was who did the scheming
by which the republicans obtained control
in the New Hampshire legislature. The
methods by which the minority were con-
verted into the majority were simply out
rageous. II, In tho south, the demo-
Gratis had done what the republicans
in New Hampshire did, Senator
Chandler would have been quick to demand
an investigation. The whole country re-
members his aggressive demands for inves-
LEGATIONS of the affairs of Louisiana and
other southern states in times past A little
of his own medicine will do him good and
will have a beneficial effect upon his state.
Let him kick against the investigation if he
wants to, but let the investigation be- or
dered.

Mr.. Gould told story which, coupled with
his celebrated Daniel Drew anecdote related at

New York Herald, tends to show that he is be-
