TUESDAY, JUNE 7%, 1881, ee Tus, Constitution of New York preseribes that votes cast for members of thu Legisla- ture shail be yold. Notwithstanding, votes have been cast for Woadin, Alvord, aud others. There ts vo probability thut any member of the Legislature will be elected, but if one should bo he would bo admitted by the Natlonal Senate, ‘The uniform ruling has been that any person who meets the con- dittons of the National Constitution ts ellzi- blo ton seat in the Sonate if duly elected, without regart to loeal prohibitipns, Under this rnling Senator Morton, of Indiana, was Adultted to tha Sonate, though he wis inel- igibie by the Constitution of tha State, In the column of “Public Opinion” this morning wil be found Hberal extracts from an editorial urticle in the New York Trine on “The Attitude of the Conkling Men.” This artlele seems to us to cover the ease completely. It shows that Mr. Conkling asks to be redleeted by Republicans for the avowed. purpose of making war on a Republican Ad- ministration; that he lus duclared open hos- tility not only upon the President, but upon tho Natlonal Republican party itself, whieh approved the principle of district represonta- , Hon asserted by Judge Robertson ut Chicago, for nsserting, which Mr, Conkllng sought to ostracisa hin, ‘The ‘Pribune significantly spya: “Mr. Conkling’s adherents in the Legislature must awaken to the fact that If they choose to join hit in his present schome thoy do lt ag Conkling men and not as Repub- Means,” ‘Tis arguments agaist the return of Mr. Conkling area practically unnnawerable. ‘They have not been answered. No attempt has been mde to meet thom. Mr, Conk- ing's best friends ure constrained ta say, “Tle has made viistake, but the Slate of New York cannot afford to deprive itsalf of the services of so great Amun on account of one mistake.” ‘This 1s an argument for for- giveness.
