Democratic senatorial politics in two
big nearby states, New Jersey and New
York. continue to seethe. The coveted
togas are being eagerly sought, and the
democratic brethren are breaking up into
factions.
In New Jersey DIR. Woodrow Wilson is
keeping up his fight against the aspira.
tons of former Senator Smith. For two
days DR.. Wilson has been laboring with
the assemblymen-elect from Essex coun-
ty. the Smith stronghold, but without
apparent success. He talked with five
Of them in Princeton Wednesday and five
more i'm New York city yesterday
DIR. Wilson, it is reported, told them
that in standing by Smith they were fol-
lowing "a loser but the Essex men
didn't see it that way. The reports say
that they went away mistaken in their
loyalty to Smith. DR.. Wilson will keep
up the fight to the last moment He
will make an open attack on Smith jan
uary at meeting in Jersey City, when
he will discuss the primary question

announced last night that its poll of the

have thirtyone votes i'm the joint caucus,
but declared that the twenty other demo-
Gratis will refuse to go with the caucus
or be bound by its findings. Thus far
only seven of the fifty-one democrats
have declared specifically for MARITIME
and in favor of the action of the pri-
maries
In New York the development of the
day yesterday was the formal announce
ment of the cand dacy of William F.
Sheehan for the senatorship. Mr. Shee-
han sprung his candidacy with the back
ing OF prominent democrats of Buffalo,
who wrote him a most complimentary
letter. Among the signers of the letters
We're such men as Herbert p. BisseI who
presided over the Rochester convention;
Howard H. Baker. who was postmaster at
Buffalo under President Cleveland, and
Robert l.. Fryer, brOther-in-law Of the
late Dan Manning.
Assures Him Erie County.
The support of Erie county appears
thus to be assured to Mr.. Sheehan He
has not yet. however, received open as
surance of the Endorsement of Boss Muir
ply of Tammany Hall. Mr.. Murphy Is
in very embarrassing position and ap-
parently is waiting for something to
turn up to relieve him.
Mayor Gaynor continues to lombard
Mr.. Murphy with demand for his sup
Tort of Edward NJ Shepard, who also
has the backing of the silk-stocking fac
ton of the democratic party.
The Tammany rank and file, however,
are insistent that am organization man
shall be chosen for senator, having in
view the enormous amount of federal
patronage to be at his disposal in case
of the election of democratic President
in 1872.
Gov.-elect Dix is to be inaugurated

ber; to witness the rare but welcome
spectacle of the Inauguration Of a dem
ocratic governor.
