was Gen. Pomsroy: and in the arrange.
ment, he had an eye single to his own
chances for the Senate. For instance !:
his own County Of Atchison was. on .

she was supposed to Be Democratic. and
he was rather glad of it. IS she could
then present but few claims upon the

Of bis County. Therefore. she was given
less than Just proportion Of members.
and was permitted to shift for herself.
with the expectation that she would 90

into the Senate: but it is . disgraceful
fact, that, with all his figuring. he would

for the votes of two recusant members
from that same abandoned County Of
Doniphsn, which had elected Republi-
cans, contrary to his snticipations and
wishes. Better. far better. would it have
