Editor Watchman and JournaliSlnoo tho orgaulzatlon of tho Itepublican party, lu 1855, it has been the invarlable custoiu of the Republicans of Orange county in thefr conventlons to nomiuate their senatorlal candidates according to residence, so that each of the two probate distrlcts into whlch that county Is dlvidwl should have a repre sentatlvo in the State Sonate. And, as the Republlcan party has always elected Its county tlcket, one Senator has always be longed to the east slde, or Bradford dutrlct, and the other to thu west sldo, or'Ran dolph distrlct. This ruakes an tqnltablo arrangement, so far as the two sldes of the county aro concerned, each dlstrlct havlng nearly the samo number of towns, and ubout the same population as tho other. The samo eqnltable prlnclplo accords to oach town In tho respectlve distrlcts tho rlght, once in awhile, to have ono of its own cltlzens nominated to this houorable politlcal office. I'endlng this arrangoment the town of Randolph hus been remarkably well ablu to take care of heraelf, havlng se cured nlne Senators within fortyflvo years, about one every flvo years, and even slnce 1870, when blennial electlons began and each incumbeut had but one term of two years, she has had fonr Senators, while tho towu of Washington has not been allowed any slnce Ilemau A. White was eleoted In 1870; and this, too, while every other town ln the dlstrlct hus boeu given the ofllco from ono to throo terras. Yot tho Jleralil and JVeto of Ilandolph claiuis that Raudolph Is now entltled to the seuatorshlp becauso she bas not been given tho ofllco slnce tho elec tion of 1892. But how much stronger ls thu clalm of Washington whlch has noc recolv ed lt slnce the electlon of 18701 In this sltuatlon lt is very gratlfylng to tho Itepublicans of Orange county that so good a inan as Hon. Chester Dlckfey allows the uso of his name as a candldate for tho nosition of county Sonator. Uo is well uud favorably known throughout the county as a worthy cltlzen and very capable man, Not only aro his lutegrity and ablllty be yond (luestlon, but tho flbor othlsltepub Hcanlsm Is as tough and unyleldlng as tho strength of his persoual cbarocter. His party foalty Is uo hot-honso growth, uurtur ed by tho lucuuibency of importaut oillces, whose Jolut tenure ls longer than u soant perlod of party nieuiborshlp. If, ttion, the Republlcan voters of Orange county but do their duty, and a froo, full and fair expros slon is glven through tho prlinarlcH, uu packed and uubought by morceuary meaus, thon the towu ul Wttshlugton will, at last, receivo lts long-delayed ineed of party Jus tlce, and Chester Diukny, an ab o, honest aud unquestionahle Jtepubtlcan, will be chosen the west slde Senator from Orange county.
