The Cadiz Democratic sentinel. [volume] (Cadiz, Ohio) 1854-1864, 1854-02-22
The Senatorshiu.

The last caucus which met 10 effect
nomination for Senator, adjourned sine die.
Since then, there has been regular srriss
of attempted throat cuttings going on be-
tween the friends Of Allen. Medary and Man
nvpenny. We have taken no part or 10 in
these disgraceful scenes. We have only
asked that reliable, simon-pure democrat
should be placed in nomination, and we
would be satisfied. The prosP,e c. Of nom
mating either one OF these men, seems at
present very doubtful. Their respective
friends have become so eDblIlered, that i
viii be with great difficulty that con
centradon on any one OF them can be
effected.
And we don't know; that it would cause
US any unpleasant thoughts, or be at all
dangerous 10 the prosperity or honor oil the
Democratic party, if neither one Of them
should receive the nomination. We are
not one of those who imagine, that all the
talent and political wisdom of the party Is
concentrated in the heads of two or three
members Of it. There are plenty Of good
democrats in the State-men, who are as
well qualified, AS any who have been mem
toned, to represent her interests with hon
or to themselves. on the floor of the Senate.
We should be sorry 10 think. that the great
State of Ohio would stand in need Of an
able and efficient representative in the Sem
ate, if Allen and Medary and Mannypen-
nv were dead and buried. II were well for
the peace and harmony Of the party ifsome
Of them were.
