MILLER FOR SENATOR New York T rlbune oa the Democratic Senatorial Nomination. The New York TVitoae last Saturday in a ipedal dispatch from Trenton

aatd.—

"No fear has been expressed by the Republican*, but the belief ha* grown ainnug them of late that ex-Uulted State* Senator Smith tiaa at last fully determined to aee how near he can come to twing chueen Called States Senator ••nee more. Republican* gbom long ex-iH-drnce ha* taught the ways of the wily .t* aril a* the a ay* of the discreet, aay now thal Hey are fully convinced that Ur. Smi la’* name hits Iwen place.I upon Ihe supply and demand banners of the INpiuocrata of liuriington, Cape May, 'llddleaex and l*u»**ic routiUrs. These are the four ruu.-ties now repreaenteil in the State Senate by Republirame w bow term* are about to ex plre, and whose succeaaors will have a voice in the seieetioB of the next Uniled Slates Senator to l>e chosen for New Jersey. The two Democratic counties aliout to elect Senators are Hunterdon and Sussex, and it is regarded as somewhat significant of l>ehef, as well as of intention*. that almost every Democrat of prominence who now discusses the political situation in the State remarks affably and with apparent •mcerity thal the Republicans have a better prospect of electing a Senator in Hunterdon county than they havein Cape May. It also is somewhat significant that a good many* Republicans coincide, under the roae, with this opinion. Every Republican in the Stub knows that there is a screw loose in (Tape May. but the spirits of the dodbtera have been considerably raised by the report made here to-day that that the Democrats down that way now intend to nominate ex-Bcnator Lemi|el E. Ciller as the opponent of I-ewis M. Crease, the Republican candidate for State Senstoi in that county. If there is any move which the Democrats could make down thwt way which would be more satisfactory to the Republicans than any other move, it a~ould lie the nomination of Mr. Miller for Senator. Mr. Miller baa a record in the Senate and outaidr of it which is possessed by few Setatore who still live and desired by none. Hia connection with the infamous "Coal Combine" was rather more picturesque and bold than that of any’other Democratic Senator who gave it the supfiort of his vote. This record has not been forgotten, although Mr. Miller, until a few days ago, was thought to be numbered among the unmt-niionabftvpoliticaUj. It msy be however, that in Utpe May county Mr.. Miller's record in the Senate has been t-ondotx-d, as It was last year in the case uf Salem eouutr. when an Assemblyman who bad been in the "Coal Combine" was permitIjd to take a seat in tpe Senate. Still, this la hardly probable. An offence aa rank and open as his was in connection with that indat disreputable deal Is not of tbe kiiKl that Cape May county would be likely tohndorae. "Nevertheless, bis nomination for Stole Senator at this time could uot by any possibility be any more pleasing to the Democrats than it would b* to the Repub Scabs. Ilia, therefore, difficult to couoect the suave and sagacious ex Senator Smith with Mr. Miller aud Cape May county simultaneously. It ia (nia that Mr. Smith baa done tome things in polities which might not improperly be called queer, but be baa uayer yet "queered" himself to the •Atm: or In the way which standing sponsor for a politician of tbe Miller variety would “queei” him. Tbe “Coal Combine" was of great assistance to Mr. Smith when be was'chosen United State* Senator some years ago. It did more to defeat Leon AbbeU than It was poetiblc for Mr. Smith's accomplished chancellors of tbe exchequer to do. The logic of Mr. Miller's candidacy, therefor*, would be that Mr. Smith was going to keep clear of Cape May, Inasmuch aa Assemblyman Creese's election would be almost certainly assured from tbe day that Mr. ^tller'i name was put on tbe Democratic ticket.”

Fifty years ago last January, when the legislature assembled, some of the members from the extreme northern eountlra were sadly disappointed. They had hoped to walk into tbe new capitol, select thair sent* and enjoy the pleasures incident to the first occupancy of that structure. Their homes were eo far removed from the capital and tbe means of communication during the winter months so poor ax to practically isolate them, hence they had not been able to keep in touch with the situation and did. not know that the cepitol was still unfinished. Three of them—Rolette. Kittson and GingYos. of the county oj Pembina—had come the entire distance on anowahoes and several had taken desperate chances of death by blixzards or hungry timber wolves.
