The Senatorial contest IN this State.
has resulted in returning Messrs. Pomeroy
and Ross to the Senate. The two Hous-
es voted separately. on Tuesday, but
without any definite result, or any appsr-
ent desire of finishing up that day. On
Wednesday, the two branches met in
joint convention. and voted. with the fol-
lowing result
For Long Isrm-Pomeroy, 81; Lee.
25.
For Short Term-Ross, 6S; Carney.
40.
We have not learned bow the Northern
Tier Senators voted. Except that they
voted for Lee. but the Representatives
stood thus:
For long term. all voted for Lee. ex-
cept Hannum. of Mem aha, and Wells, oil
Marshall. who voted for Pomeroy.
For the short term, Messrs. jenkins,
Robb. Evans. Flickingsr, Collins, Hol
lenberg, and Wells, voted for Carney.
Messrs. Hsnnum. G. E. Parker, Willis,
and Wm. R. Parker. voted for Ross.
Bully for Parker Henceforth We are
Parker man!
We can truly say that we are grati6ed
at this news. We could have wished for
Lees election; but we have never had
any confidence in bis success. We live
in an unfortunate part of the State for
such positions. Even had Lee come so
near having the requisite strength. that
Leaverworth held the balance of power,
she would have turned the scale against
him. with all her professed friendship.
Pomeroy has always been true to his
principles, and has never sought aid in
combinations with Copperhesds. Hehas
some regard for his personal character, and
for public decency. and does not seek for
popularity in the haunts of vice. There
fore. since Lee could not be elected, we re-
joice that Pomeroy has been.
And we emphatically reioice with Ed.
Ross. A msn who was counted out of
the ring by the big guns, in their scram-
BILE for the spoils, has quietly stepped in
and carried off the prize. Those North.
ern Tier members who voted for Carney,
We believe did SO honestly, and we do
not believe they sold their votes. But
had they succeeded in electing him, we
verify believe they would soon have had
cause to regret their votes. Those who
voted for Ross. we will guarantee will
never have cause to repent of their action,
on account of any conduct of his. They
have done good thing, and may we'll
be proud of it.
Bully for Parker!
We rejoice with Ross, because he Sc.
cured bis election by merit alone. No
one can say that he bribed men to vote
for him. for be is poor man. and had
not the means with which to do It.
Because he had no Boards of Trade,
incorporated monopolies. mcnied specu-
lators. and strikers of every condition, to
lobby for him, and disgrace him.
Because be is true to principle, and
will not betrsy bis party or sell his friends
for some temporary advantage to himself.
Because be is a soldier. who enlisted in
the ranks, aad won his way to promotion
through faithful service and hard knocks.
Because he is printer, and has con-
sumed the midnight oil many time at
the press. the case. or the desk-(as we
sre now doing. and as We expect others
to congratulate Us when our good streak
comes along.)
For these reasons, werejoice with Ross,
and say Bully for Parker!
