ELECTION OF UNITED STATES SENATOR'S tn IN
DIANA,

DIANA,
Some Of the opposition papers in Indiana are ndustri
ousy engaged In creating the impression that there win be
no election Of United States senator's by the legislature at
the ensuing session. There is large democratic majority
in the house, but the oppositionblack republicans and
Fillmore togethercaim majority of four in the
State The law requires that the two houses shall
meet in Joint ballot and then proceed to election The
backepublcan papers endeavorng to stimulate theft
parsans in the Senate thwar the will of the people by
refusing to meet in joint session with the house As an
this they plead the precedent of the DEM
ocras Who two years ago. in the senate refused to
into election.
The democrats in 1885, in the Indiana State senate had
reasons for their course which the black republicans can
not plead The State had been democratic for many
previously there every believe that the M
umph of the opposition ephemeral and temporary
one gained by false and deceptive presentation of issues
and that it would be speedily reversed by the people The
democratic senator's therefore, felt justified in delaying
election for year. in order to guard against the danger Of
long Misrepresentation Id the United States Senate The
result proved they judged rightly The State went largely
democratic at the next election and has remained
since by decisive and unmstakabe expression 1t
fairly cavassed last fall the conduct of the democratic
senate discussed and the result the people
tanned it They decided upon fair issue that the voice Of
Indiana shall be represented in the Senate of the United
States by democrats No doubt that such is their
WISH We cannot and do not believe therefore, that any
of parsans will seek to thwart the popular will by
factious opposition that only end in defeat and dis
grace We look therefore, with confidence to the return
of Governor Wright and Senator Bright Of two other
sound and national democrats to the United States Sen
