PLATT AND sPOoNER CONGRATULATED.
Reelection of Senators Hailed with Delight
in Washington.
IRr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Platt, Of Con
necticut. and Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin,
were the recipients of numerous and hearty con-
gratulations in the Senate to-day, and the opin-
ion was universally expressed that their States
showed notable wisdom and patriotism in
turning to the Senate who only repx.
resented every deserving interest of their owf7s
commemorative but who contribute conspicu
ously to the great forces directing the legIsla-
tion of the nation. Senator Spooner is regarded
as one of the most vsluah hle members of the
Republican majority, one who can analyze every
sophistry and puncture every political pretence
and who can always be relied on to detect any
violation of constitutional law or qualification
of Republican principles.
Senator Platt is looked NJ to as careful.
conservative and resourceful statesman. whose
advice is always welcome and whose opinions in
variably command respect. The retirement OF
either of these lawmakers would have been de-
plored as a blow to their party and loss 10
the country, and for that reason their re-elec-
ton was hailed with pleasure and made the oc-
casion for compliments and encomiums such as
are seldom heard in the private conversation of
Senators.
