ALBANY. Jan. 14.-The caucuses for tho selec.
tion OF candidates for United States Senator
have boon called. The Republicans will meet
IN tho Senate Chamber on Monday next at 5 p.
NJ, and the Democrats at p. NJ. in the Assem-
bly, Chamber.
The prediction OF the Republicans that
this would be the most corrupt Lcgisla.
ture OF many years has been knocked
out by tho announcement OF Speaker
sheehan's committees. No Speaker In years
has so absolutely prevented an eagerly
disposed opposition from getting an opror-
tunity that would have boen welcomed Of
severely criticising tho committees. And he
mas had an equally phenomenal success in
pleasing tho members OF his own party. In
this his difficulties were greater than Repub-
Loan Speaker had 10 deal with. On that side
there are two factions, and the Speaker had
only to take care OF those that were with him

whose claims were practically equal. presented
problem that 1t was not easy to solve without
causing . great deal OF dissatisfaction. But
moro has been hardly any xpresslon OF such
feeling. Tho strongest criticism OF the list Is
that sufficient recognition was not given to the
redeemers OF Republican districts. A man like
Sutherland OF Kings who wrested stronghold
from the enemy. might reasonably be consid-
cred entitled to recognition ia the opinion OF
his many friends here. He does not mplain.
out they say he is rs good natured as he Is
good locking and that ne would have SO: bet
ter committee places IL that fact had not been
relied upon to prevent any expression OF dis.
satisfaction.
Another prediction Of the opposition was
that the majority intended to do some railroad
work IN tho election contests. though they did
not venture to charge that tho Democrats
would use their power In tho reckless and ar
oitrsry fashion that they them selves had. The
most that they could say was that in some
OF the many cases where the Republicans nulli-
fed the provisions OF the Ballot law or their
election officers did violence to the evident in
tention OF the voters, there would he what they
called unseemly haste In the action OF the ma
jorlty to correct the errors and remedy
tho evils. They said that the Governor
was going to throw their mon out before the
voting for United States Senator begins. This
illusion has been disspnted nlso Col Web
