NEW YORK IS LEFT OUT

New York loses good deal by political
faetional fights in her borders. The Re-
publican dscord lost her the World s Fair,
and now the Democratic discord has lost
her place on the U. S. Supreme bench
The President nominated two New Y orkers
for the place and both were rejected in the
Senate out of, We presume, senatorial
courtesy" due Senator Hill to whom both
nominations were Objectionable The vote
for confirmation of the second nominee,
Rufus w. Peckham, was s Republicans. l
Populist and % Democrats. including Sen
ator Hunton OF Virginia. The vote against
confirmation was % Republicans, Popu-
list and Is Democrats, including Senator
Daniel Of Virginia.
The President on Monday promptly sent
in the name of Senator +. ID. White of Lou
isiana for the position. Mr.. White was one
of the Senators who voted to confirm both
Hornblower and Pecklam. His nomina-
ton was promptly confirmed. He is only
forty eight years of age, was a Confederate
soldier and has served On the Supreme
bench Of his own State. He is the first
Catholic appointed to the supreme bench
since the appointment of Chief Justice

New York seems to be getting pretty well
removed from the list OF States from which
a Democratic candidate for tie Presidency
can he taken in 1896. So that will he one
