Bates county is well represented both in the house and senate and it is needless to add that we are proud of our members. 3 We look tor a short session with substantial reeults. is to be elected THE NEW YORK SENATORSHIP. President-elect Grover Cleveland has declared agaiust the election of Edward Murphy, jr., to the United States senate from New York. Mr, Cleveland is right in his opposition to Mr. Murphy for several reasons. He is not a fit man to represent the great Empire state in the senate. He has had no experience in states- manship, is not regarded asa broad- winded, intellectual man, and his as- sociations are not such as to entitle him to that high office. All that can be claimed for Mr. Murphy is that he is a machine man, and while such a man is very often elected to office through the manipulations of the machine he is rarely, if ever, a repre- sentatiye of the people. Then again there is an established “senatorial courtesy” which ullows the two sen- ators from a state to control the patronage of that state. If the two senators oppose the contirmation of an appointment the other members of that dignified body courteously defer to their judgment and the confirmation is withueld. Senator Hill’s opposition to Mr Cleveland is notorious, and Mr. Murphy’s was as deccidedly pronounced. He it was who headed the New York del- egation to the Chicago convention aud bitterly opposed the president’s nomination, even making a written statement signed by all the eie- gates that it was their belief that Mr. Clev-land could not carry New York. if nomi. ated He gave Mr. Cleveland loyal support after the uomination, but as a democratic leaderjhe could do nothing less than support that party’s nominee. If Mr. Murphy is elected, he and Mr. Hill will be held responsible for holding the republicaus in power in New York. Mr. Cleveland will make his appointments without dictation from these two sevators and if they are vot confirmed the republicans in office will hold over. All Prominent. K. C, Times. Hon. Joseph C. Hendrix of Brook- lin, who is mentioned as a candidate for Senator in New York to appose Edward J. Murphy, is a brother of Bishop E. R Heudrix of this city and also of Wilbur R. Hendrix, for merly in the banking business here The Hendrix boys were all raised in Fayett, Mo., where their mother still lives with her daughter, Mrs. A. F. Davis. After attending Cen tral Busivess College they drifted out ivto the world and each has made a brilliant record in his chosen field. “Joe” the New York brother, was a postmaster at Brooklyn under Cleveland, and is considered among the brightest men to the President elect in the country.
