POLITICAL CONSISTENCY.

Tie Legislature of Illinois last winter, being
Republican, Hon LYMAN TRUMBuLL, chosen
L. S. Senator for the next six years. The eli
gibility of Mr.. Trumbull was questio- ed by his
opponents on the grounds of his h:.qlng been
elected Judge of the Supreme Court, which
office he had resigned eighteen months previ
ous His opponents, however, take the ground,
that as the Constitution, of the State declares
that no Judge of the Supreme Court shall be
eligible to any other office during the term
for which he was elected, he still Ineligible
and accordingly sent protest to the U. S. Sen
ate against Mr.. rs being allowed a seat in that
body.
The inconsistency III this case is seen in the
fact that these same men who have protested
against Mr.. Trumbulrs being U. S. Senator on
the above grounds voted for Gov. Matterson for
/ the same Office against MIR. Trumbull, while he
was holding the office Of Governor, when the
SAME Constitution says "the Governor shall not
+ be eligible to any other Office, during the time
for which he was elected" And further, many
/ of the same protestants voted for Mr.. Marshall
"a Representative III Congress, (who was elected
4 and now bold the otfice) while he was a Judge
on the bench, and they have no desire to see him
deprived Of his seat for such reasons. While
upholding one they are opposing the other, when
both stand the same grounds except Trun-
bull had resigned his Judgeship and Marshall
had not Such is the consistency of the Ne
braslla Democracy Of Illinois.
Senator Trumbull, however, has been sworn
in, and now occupies his seat, and will do good
service in the Aanti-N ebraska cause, in spite OF
Douglas & Co. TO eject him.
