NEW YORK SENATORSHIP
THE HERALD BOOMING EDITOR
DANA FOR THE PLACE.

A Belief at Washington That Murphy
May Withdraw From the Race-Gov.
Flower or Bx-secretary Whitney
Among the Probabilities-Sheeh
Would Succeed Flower as Governor
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The Herald to-day
demands that the new United States sena-
bor for this state, soon to be elected by the
legislature, shall be ''some gentleman who
has made himself part OF New York oity,
fought for its welfare, shown the quality of
his democracy by his public acts and the
the metsls Of his integrity by an unblsm-
ished record" The editorial proceeds to
say: sit is easy to find such man-scores
in fact. We are not invidious, however i. In
naming Charles A. Dana as in all respects en-
titled to the honor Of the position.
When the Herald proposed his name some
time ago Senator (then Governor) Hill was
reported as saying that IL we had spoken
sooner he would have done all he could do
to bring about the desired result, but that
We were too late IN making the nomination.
Senator Hill has now an opportunity TO
rscoup himself. II be chooses to throw his
influence for the election of Mr.. Dana, the
NestOE VI Luo AIuoElChu press, ne Will NOT
only secure for himself the ablest colleague
in sight, but will help put the right man in
the right place. II we set Mr.. Dana's
ripen statesmanship. his practical and pro-
found knowledge OF national questions,
against the political wiIes aud wire pulling
OF Mr.. Murphy, hesitation would seem to
be impossible. Mr.. Dana is not only a
New Yorker in all his interests but
he did more than Mr.. Hill did in the last

cratic party. II rewards are to be distrib-
uted why select Mr.. Murphy, who was
energetically opposed to the successful
candidate rather than the man who threw
his whole strength into the fight and so
deserves the recognition which his honor
implies, and IL a man Of brains is to be our
choice, why hit upon pigmy when giant
they are wise and IL their professions of
service to the people are genuine, will send
Mr.. Murphy 70 the rear and bring the
name Of Charles A. Dana to the 'front.'"
MURPHY MAY WITHDRAW.
Some Of the democratic congressman
from New York believe that Edward Muir
ply may yet withdraw from the contest for
the New York senatorship In spite Of the
fact that thus far he seems to have had
things his own way. Their theory that Mr..
Croker. recognizing the fact that with both
Mr.. Hill and Mr. Murphy In the Senate the
men who sent them there would get no
recognition from President Cleveland, and
she fact that the New York newspapers,
with one exception, are expressing what
seems TO be a popular demand for New
York city man as senator, will induce Mr..
Murphy to withdraw In favor of Gov.
Flower who would then be succeeded by
Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan, or, possibly, even in
favor of ex-Secretary Whitney, who is said

ginia last Friday. This afternoon while on
the passenger walk of the bridge, about 200
feet from the Brooklyn end, he suddenly

clambered on the rails and jumped. The
river police patrol picked him up and sent
him to a hospital When asked why he
jumped McCluskey said: "They were
going to hang me. saw the scaffold they
had built for me on the bridge. 1 don't
know what they wanted to hang me for,
have done nothing wrong"
Being asked IL he wanted to out-do
Brodie, McCluskey answered: "Yes."

Congressman Breckenridge Delivers
Characteristic Lecture.
New York, Dec S.-Congressman Breck-
inridge Of Kentucky lectured last evening
on "Southern Problems" in the Strong
Place Baptist church, Brooklyn, under the
auspices OF the Young Mems League. He
said he was Kentucky REBEL" Joined the
confederate army at the opening OF the
civil war and IL he ever did anything Co
iniure the southern cause, he was sorry for
It. He believed 1t was importans
that the north should know how the south
views many questions.
"lf it had been calculated how much
money was expended on slaves by the
south, and IL their condition as a race at
the breaking out of the civil war had been
considered by the north, the blood which
was shed might have been saved.
Slavery was the offspring of a general
humanity, and when we knew that such
Christian missionary as Las Casas was for
its continuance It may not have been such q
bad institution. Slavery was valuable To
those dwelling in the south, but largely un-
profitable to northern men. Who of us would
want to take the names from history Of
Washington and Jefferson Davis9

Concluding, DR.. MoKfbben said he be-
lieved Smith bad done the things of which
he was accused 'ignorantIy," whereupon
Prof. Smith smiled. The least the presby-

Prof. Smith from the ministry.

as q means Of saving souls and the prosecu-

was caused here among the Catholic clergy
and laity when It became known that the
address of Mgr. Satolli, published through
out the country to-day, was given most
of the papers printing 1t under a st.
Louis date. The news did not originate
in st. Louis, but st. Louis prelates get
the credit of divulging church secrets. This
was unjust, as Archbishop Kenrick and his
vicar general are both known TO be very
secretive in such matters. An afternoon
paper says an intention Is manifest TO con-
ceal the identity of the person who fur
nished the news, and accuses somebody Of
duplicity.
