PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE.

Hon. BENJAMIN +. w ABE, was unan-
imously nominated by the Republi,
can caucus for President of the Sen
ate, to succeed Hon. L. 5. Foster, and
on Monday elected to that highly
responsible and important place. As
this position, in the present unfor-
tunate situation of the Executive
department Of the country, is of es-
pecial Importance, the country may
well felicitate itself upon the choice
made.
Judge WADE is perhaps the very
best possible embodiment of the SEN
timent which sternly demands the
establishment of republican govern
ments as a logical result Of the de-
feat of the rebellion keenly res
ponsiye to this almost universal de-
sire, it is with him no new thought
to reflect and to strengthen it. Born
in Massachusetts, at the beginning Of
the century, his natural instincts
were assisted by his early New Eng
land training, and hardening in the
fierce trials Of border life, when Ohio
bore the relation Of an almost un-
settled territory to the other States
when Cincinnati was village and
Chicago an Indian trail-his expert
ence has been an active and heroic
protest against humane slavery. His
first appearance in Congressional
life was in 1851, as United States
Senator from Ohio, which position he
has since uninterruptedly filled. In
to this period of nearly sixteen years
events have been crowded more stirr-
ing and novel, and effecting COM
pIeter change among larger masses
Of men, than the transactions of the
Revolution itself. There is not a
pro-slavery ex-senator now alive,
who served with Judge Wade in this
interval, that will not admit that he
has asserted the same doctrines, in
the same spirit and with the same
courage, that gave him so command
ing ali inluence throughout the war,
that operated upon so many multi
tudes Of men, and that have now
commended him to the unanimous
choice OF his brother Senators for
the second Office i'll the Republic
And yet this record of unbroken
Rradicalism is not only unstained by
single act OF cruelty to the people
Of the South, but frightened by a
thousand instances Of natural mag
nanimity The candor with which
he proclaimed his opinions in the
days of an ascendant Democracy
made him u favorite with his extrem-
est political opponents, and stood in
constant and significant contrast
with the lond and threatenin. dog
matism of the South. And even
now, while MS election as President
Of the Senate will carry Joy to every
earnest household, If will give assur-
ancc that if circumstances should de-
volve upon him the higher functions
Of the Chief Magistracy, they will be
discharged with an eye single to the
glory of the Republic The South,
ern people will find nothing in his
history to inspire the slightest doubt
as to the justice, moderation, and
dignity of his Administration.

JUDGE rrERCUR,s SPEECH.

On our outside will be found the
speech lately delivered in the House

the popular demands-and will meet
the hearty assent and appreciation Of

Radical Revolutionary Schemes.

Some startling revelations are leaking
out here touching the revolutionary
schemes of the Radical leaders. It has been
discovered that the plan for Radical gov
ernments and negro supremacy III the
Southern States was concocted anu matur-
ed at the Convention Of Southern ''Loyal-
lists" on the 18th of September last, in
Philadelphia, where were present the Rad
zeal Governors of the several Northern
States. 1t was then and there determined
to organize revolutionary army, which
should hold the South under the control of
the Radicals, regardless of what might be
the popular vote. 1t was also determined
&. N. Pease should, by some means, be
placed at the head of the State organiza-
ton in Texas; and, in obedience to this
plot of the revolutionists, General Sheridan
deposed Governor Throcknorton, and in
stallated Pease in the executive chair. In
further continuation ofthe same plot Gen
eral Il. j. Davis was given a rowing com
mission by General Sheridan, ostensibly
for the purpose Of experimenting the reg
istration, but really to organize the Texas
quota of the Grand Army of the Repub-
| lie, the members Of which are sworn to hold
The power of the South, regardless of Con-
stitutional or legal barriers. That work is
now in rapll1 progress, and funds are be-
ing supplied through the .Ioyal Leagues"
by the Radical Congressional Committee
of this city, Of which Mr.. Schenck, Of Ohio,
is chairman. My information is to the e.
feet that this military organization IS now
being rapidly pushed forward in all
the Southern States, and it is reported
that the supreme command of this reyolu-
tionary force has been bestowed on the
late commander of the Fifth Military Dis
trict. In view Of this powerful organization,
which stands ready to throttle the Govern.
ment, the late proclamation of the Presi-
dent may not be i'll timed Of the truth
of this statement there is now abundant
proof, and steps will be taken by the Gov
ernmcnt to meet the impending danger

twelve months her sufIerings from dropsyl

cies ofradical legislation and the revolu-
tionary aims Of the radical leaders. The
danger OF negro supremacy in the South,
he believes, is one cause Of this sudden
and startling reaction but he considers
that the second sober thought" Of the

that the result is a conviction that If the

The Herald says editorially
The storm has not yet burst, but IT is
brewing, and to all human appearance the
explosion, when It does take place, will be
on scale Of becoming magnifcence.
The President, it appears, has 10 no
ton Of resigning his position. On the
contrary, itseems he is resolved to main
tain his ground and fight it out to the last.
whatever the last may be. = *
The President, it will be observed,
looks forward to the certainty of impeach-
ment, and is preparing himself to meet it,
1t IS not to be denied that the blood of the
Radicals is up, and that each successive
move OF the Chief Of the State is goading
them into wilder and wilder fury.

The California Election.

TIA noticeable fact that the triumph Of
the Conservative in California was achiev-
ed by the people. in spite of the oficehold-
ers. It is said that out Of all the Federal Of
fceholders in the State, only four were not
active Radical partisans. The will Of the
people should surely weigh something with
the Government.
The minority Of Governor Lowe, the
present Republican Governor of California,
at his election, was 10,732. Haieht has
been elected by majority Of about 49,
600, which shows gam on the part of
the Democrats, since the last election, of
10000 votes. This is an amazing change

large Democratic gains The Radicals are
astounded at the independent moving Of
the masses, which seems to be beyond con-
troll. Democratic gains are reported in
Portland, Bangor, Gardiner, Pittston,
Augusta, as we'll as other leading cities.
Chamberlain, the Radical candidate for
Governor, will not receive a majority OF
more than from FIVE t2 eight thousand
against twenty-eight thousand Of last year.
Heavy Democratic gains are being made
in members Of the Legislature, and Main e
is doing nobly.
AUGUSTA, Me-, September g. Radical
ism has culminatad in Maine. To-day the
the Radical party has receiveved a blow
from which it can never recover.
Chamberlain, the Radical candidate for
Governor, has had his immense majority
of last year, which was rising q 900, cut
down at least two-thirds.
Should the returns which are yet to
come in such heavy losses, the Radtca5
majority eoiU not be Deer 5 600 uotes
Pillsbury, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, has swept the State like wild
fire. In every place of Importance, from
Kittery to Passamaquoddy, the Radicals
have met with immense losses.

counties have been wrenched from the

The Radicals are completely astounded
at the result. It came as unexpectedly as a
thuuderbolt from a cloudless sky.
The Democracy are in great state of
rejoicing ,sas well they may be and o-night

The redemption Of Maine is close at

PORTLAND, September 10-12:45 A
M-One hundred and nine towns give
Chamberlain, Republican, 17,715, and
Pillsbury 1868. The same towns last
year gave Chamberlain 81 $50, and Pills
bury Is, 565 Cbamberlain's majority this
year is 6, 032, against 1905 in the same
towns last year, making.a Republican loss
of 9,053. The aggregate vote in these
towns is 43, 1893, against "a, 215 last year.
The total vote Of the States last year
was III, 584. This year it will probably
fall little under 100, 600. Three-sevenths
Of the vote Of the State is in, with loss Of
nine. ffteenths (9-15) Of the majority last
year The same ratio will reduce the total
majority to about Is, 500, Or loss ofabout
Ii, 000.
The Democrats will gain representatives,
in some towns if not enough to give them
much power in the Legislature, yet enough
to show heavy Republican losses.
The ale and cider law of last year has
undoubtedly caused some loss to the Repub-
licans; and Radical rumpism geat deal
more.
