Hon. BENJAMIN +. WADE is returned to the
United States senate from Ohio, by an unrx-
pected majority. The impression had to some
extent gone abroad that his positive views had
alienated from his side some conservatives
whose votes were needed to re-elect him. But
the result shows that his public conduct has
exercised centrpetal force In the Ohio legis-
lature, and that the conservatives themselves
have come cordially to his support However
advanced he may have been year ago, events
have since overtaken if they have not gone
beyond him. Mr.. Wade entered the senate,
twelve years ago, whig, but has acted with
the republican party since its organization.
His natural ability, his recognized honesty, and
his unfinching courage, have made him one
of the leaders of events, whose place in the
public service it would now be difficult to fiji.
