srANFoRD's VOTE ALL RIGHT.

With Flea in His Ear.
From the New York Sun (Dem.).

From the NelO York Sun (DeBI).
There is highly interesting New York
part to the story of the laying aside of the
force bill in the Senate. The dispatches re-
late that Senator Stewart and Senator
Aldrich had disagreement on the floor as
to the right Of Senator Stewart to pair
Senator Stanford against closure and Sens
ator Stewards statement that Mr.. Stanford
if he were there would vote to lay the force
bill aside. A party of statesmen arrived
from Washington last night, and one of
them said that the difference between the
twos senators has something a good deal
more lively than q disagreement.
When Senator Stewart announced that
Senator Stanford had authorized him to
pair him against closure, Senator Aldrich
rose and, 10 parliamentary way, informed
the Senate that he knew personally that
Senator Stanford had given no such
authority, and that Senator Stanford be-
fore leaving Warrington on Sunday had
informed him Serator Aldrich) that he
was in favor Of tho force bill and proposed
to stand by it. Senator Stewart became ex-
ceedingly angry at this. and fatty CONTRA
dicted Senator Aidrich. The discussion
came down to a personal matter between
the two senator's, and they were induced to
abandon IL fer tho time to avoid q scene
But neither Senator was satisfied. Senator
Aldrich at oncessenfa telegram TO Senator
Stanford, asking him to arise in his might
and confound the senator from Nevada.
Senator Stewart also sent a telegram TO
Senator Stanford, asking him to telegraph
at once and confirm the authority given
verbally, which had been sneered at by the
senator from Rhode Island. Neither senator
bethought him that there was little or no
telegraphic communication between New
Y ork aud Washington, and both were on
the anxious seat all day.
Meanwhile Senator Stanford was at the
Winds IT hotel. resting after a carriage &C
cldent he had had IN the morning. He had
also been telegraphing. He had sent tele-
gram to Senator Stewart, giving him the
desired authority to pair him against clio
ture. But his telegram did not reach its
destination for the same reason that the
kilograms Of the heated senator's in WASH
ington did not get there.
After the two senators in Washington had
waited all day for replies to their earnest
appeals they decided to wait no longer, but
Go talk to Senator Stanford face to face.
This resolution was Termed by each sepa-
rateiy. They were mot speaking" after
their little TIN in the Senate. Their sur
prise aud disgust may be imagined when
they faced each other in the parlor car
They sat as far apart as possible.
Arrived in New York. each hired him q
carriage and paid the driver ext a to get
him as quickly as possible to the Windsor
hotel. They arrived simultaneously and
faced the clerk together. They handed him
their cards. which were sent up to Senator
Stanford's roem. Pretty soon Senator
Stanford sent down his compliments to the
senator's in waiting and said that be re-
GREETED that bis accident prevented him
from seeing them. He referred them to bis
private secretary J. B. Mccarthy, who was
able to be out Of bed. It Was so late that
Mr.. Mccarthy had retired. He received
the two senators IN an undress costume.
They both burst at him in the same breath.
"How ahots Stanford's pair on the force
billF'
Secretary Mccarthy smiled pleasantly at
the senator from Nevada and then at the
senator from Rhode Island. Then he said
to the former:
"Did you not get Mr.. Stanford's tele-
gram, authorizing you to pair him against
closurer
Senator Aldrich's face dropped until it
was painful for to see He then used Ian
guage. IL was language stronger than that
with which he had addressed Senator Stew
art in the Senate. He said he was at loss
to understand how Senator Stanford could
call himself a consistent man. Then he left
for Providence in high dudgson.
