HOW IT WAS RECEIVED THERE—VARI- OUS COMMENTS. WASHINGTON, July 22, — Announce- ment of the election of E. G. Lap- ham to succeed Roscoe Conkling in the senate occasions no surprise and very little comment, particularly since Conkling removed his personal effects frem his old quarters here. The near approach of the end has been tully recognized and no one has seemed to expect that Conkling would be returned. That Laphamn would be the man was so clearly indi- cated by recent eyents at Albany that it would have been a surprise if any one else had been elected. Secretary Blaine, when approached on the subject, said: “It will be a source of universal satisfaction for the people to know that New York is again rep-esented in the senate, and that she has sent those she chose to.” Attorney General McVeagh was too illness.
