Y., Jan. "21. The joint ballot of the legislature for United States Senator was taken at noon today. to-day. It resulted: D. P. Hill, 81; Ev-arts, Ev-arts, 79. Hill was declared elected.' Governor Hill will be a valuable accession ac-cession to the democratic ranks in the senate, where men like Gorman, the possessors of political skill and practical prac-tical energy, are, to tell the truth, lamentably la-mentably scarce. Hill has the prestige and the ability to make himself one of the powers in the party, if he bo willing to forget as much as possible that he is a possible nominee for the presidency. In the senate he will tind himself In tho company com-pany of presidency seekers. Perhaps there never before was in the senate so large a number of men who are more or less secretly nursing presidential aspirations, though nearly all of them are republicans. In this list might be placed the names of His-cock, His-cock, McPherson, Sherman, Cullom, Allison, Stanford, Ingalls, Flumb.Petti-grew, Flumb.Petti-grew, Carlisle and Dolph. William M. Erarts, defeated by Hill, was a notable figure in national politics before the present generatiou came into being. ' He was attorney general' in President Johnson's cabinet. Under Hayes he was secretary of . state, and from March, 1884, he represented New York in the senate of the United States as the successor of Lapham. But with all his conspicuous service in publiolife it is as a great lawyer that Kvarts has achieved his chief renown, the impeachment impeach-ment of President Johnson, theTilden-Hayes theTilden-Hayes election, 'the Beecher trial, and the Alabama claims being some of the more remarkable cases in which he appeared ap-peared as leading counsel. He is rich honors, years and daughters, being born in 1818. |
