OPEN VOTING PROBABLE.

From the Dover State News (Dem).
There ought TO be a Senator elected
by the Democratic majority in this
Legislature and there will be an cleo
ton.
Just how and how soon, however,
we are unable to prophecy, owing to
the serious condition that confronts
the CONGRATULATIONS Democratic
party of this State in the Union.
We do not believe there will be
caucus. Certainly not a full one.
There will be weeping, wailing and
crashing OF teeth and overtime work
on the lobby now here over this. but
we are stating cold facts and facts
are sometimes hard to wipe out
We have discussed the cause of this
crisis with Democratic members Of
the Legislature, some OF whom have
done us the honor to call on us, and
we find this:
Some Assemblymen say they will
never vote for Willard Salisbury;
some say they will not vote for James
II. Hughes; some even tell us they
will not vote for Senator Kenney.
This is all wrong. alt ought not TO
be. But like the man in Jail, il is.
In view of these facts, it is probably
best. after all, that the matter be
threshed out by few days open vot-
ing.
We therefore believe that no Assem-
blymen should allow themselves to be
coerced into a caucus by boss OF
coddled into a sheepfold like so many
lambs by the lobby Indeed the lobby
is one Of the most disgraceful adj
iuncts Of this senatorship. Each As
semblyman is entitled to consider
alton and courteous treatment.
II all want to enter caucus, that is
the hest solution, no doubt, particular
ly II It is an open caucus.
OF course we do not hope to elect
anyone to the Senatorship who has
not enough votes; neither do we see
in the present strain, how anyone car
force his election to the senatorshiI
unless he has enough votes. Twenty.
seven is enough
We would rather see the Democrat,
party survive, even though there bs
deadlock, then fed to the cannibal.
