THE YEw. MRK SENATORSHIP.

Bv the time the Legislature recOfTVeneS next
week the Democratic leaders very likely VIII
have made IN their minds in regard to the Son
storshp. They will have picked out their man
for the place. and arranged for his election by
the easy process of telling Democratic Senators
and Assemblymcn for whom they must vote.
The Democratic machine was never in better
running order than it is to-day. What it de-
orecS goes" and David b. Hill runs the ma
chine. 1t looks to-day as though Smith VI.
Weed was first in the race, and was practically
without a competitor. True, Roswell j. Flower

Nmghton, of Rochester. But the suggestion
Of their names has hardly been taken seriously,
or at all events, cannot be said TO nave met

Spouse. As for Mr.. Dana, although 1t Is gen.

But. although Mr.. Weed apparently is to have

the ground that he is not an orthodox Demo

pretending that such construction may be pun
up0n his dispatches. In his first letter to the
british Foreign Office he declared that VIC
should insist upon every right in the seal ana
over the waters they frequent that England
had formerly conceded to Russia. This has been
the text of every letter he has written from
the opening one to that published on Tues
dav. He has claimed and abundantly proved
that both England and America in their con-
troyeIsos with Russia in 1S21 admitted Russian
ownership of the seal fisheries and authority
over the waters of Bchring Sea 50 far as was
necessary for their protection. lie denied III
his earlier letters and denied in his last one
that Mr.. AdamSs protests had the remoteSt
reference to BehrnG Sea, and in the dispatch
of December II he proved by Mr.. AdamSS own
words and by the archives of the state De-
partment that his deniaIS were sound.
What do the Democratic papeIs-thefe are
many honorable eptionS-SuppoSe that they
Gain either for their country OF for their own
party cause by thus playing into England
hands in this lchring Sea affair? The only
possible effect that such conduct can have IS TO

feet a National interest from foreign assault
and to encourage the foreigners to be bold ana

Weeds defeat because he is not sound on thai
issue of issues. the tariff. In discussing nj,
candidacy it uses this language:
Mr. Weed has irrcvOcably and afrmatively com
rlitted himself to the policy Of maintaining high tax
on iron ore since he became candidate for senator,
he has asserted over his own signature that he per
sonay cypried his influence TO retain duty Of 80
cent, "A ton on iron ore and that he now regards nus
dirty as small duty although it is equivalent To
duty OF about 40 per cent ad valorem on the most I'M
portant OF all raw materials. With what grace could

after for free wool for free anything II II Shou ho"

holding that the Democracy OF candidate Tor
