sue between the friends of the respective
candidates out of which they could make
a little capital. Democrats may entertain

comes to battling with radicals they never
fail to make common cause.

years from the 4th of March, 1869. 9.displacing
Benz. f. Wade, the present incumbent.
Judge Thurman will represent the people
of Ohio in the United States Senate with
dignity and ability. such as the position
demands, and with credit and honor to him
self and the people of the State. In the
preliminary caucus he was the selection, of
the Democracy by vote of 81 to "a for
Mr.. Vallandigham. Thurman's majority
on the joint ballot is z, and would have
been 8 but for the unavoidable absence of
one of the Democratic members OF the
House. Great good feeling exists among
the Democratic members of the Legislature,
and therein disappointing greatly the Re-
publican politicians, who expected that
Democrats would quarrel among them
selves, thus making discord in the ranks
and endangering the cause of Democracy
in the coming campaign. Happily nothing
of the kind occurred. The Democracy Of
Ohio presents a square front and unbroken
ranks to the enemy.

ELECTION OF SENAToR.-On last Monday
night the Democratic Caucus nominated
Judge Thurman for Senator by vote of
81 for Thurman and "a for Vallandigham.
On Tuesday the Legislature went into
joint ballot and confirmed the Caucus nom-
ination. Judge Thurman is therefore
elected United States Senator for Ohio, to
succeed Ben Wade, who retires on the 4th
of March, 1859. We rejoice that gentle
man and sound Democrat is to succeed
Old Ben Wade, the radical blackguard and
braggart, in the United States Senate from
our glorious commonwealth.

The election of Judge Thurman will
prove a highly gratifying result to the De-
mocracy and Conservatives of Ohio and the
entire country-placing, as 1t will, a states
man, a gentleman and a scholar, in the ex-
alted position of u. S. Senator, instead of
an ignoramus, a clustering bully and pro-
fame blackguard, now representing "all
the intelligence, morality. religion, decen-
cy." &C., Sc, in the person of Benjamin F.
Wade, for whom the Radicals, even in their
expiring throes, still cast themselves. No
event in the political history of Ohio for
the last is years, is more gratifying to all
true supporters of the Constitution than
the supercGssion of Ben Wade, the origi-
nal disunionist and general distructionist.
The country, however, will not get clear
of his disturbing presence and influence
for little over year hence.

it would have been gratifying to the host
of warm friends of Mr.. Vallapdigham to-
have seen him nominated, yet the entire
Democracy of the State will rejoice that
the honor has fallen to the lot of one so,
deserving as Judge Thurman. And all
will regret that we could not place them.

SENATOR -THURMAN.-Allen G. Thurman
has been elected United States Senator in
place of Benjamin f. Wade, whose term
expires on the 4th of March, 1869. His
election is eminently satisfactory to the
Democracy of Ohio, and he will represent
our great Commonwealth in the Senate

Thurman has few equals, and he is emphat-
ically an honest man and sincere patriot.

Allen g. Thurman, was yesterday elecCed
United States Senator, by the Legislature
of Ohio to take the place of Ben. Wade,
whose term of Office expires on the 4th of
March, 1869. This will be glorious news
to the Democracy all over the Union, as
Judge Thurman will not only add dignity
and honor to that body, but be host in
himself in battling for the rights of the
people, which are being SO persistently
trampled upon by a Radical Congress.
Judge Thurman's talents and statesman
ship will shine pre-eminently in his new
position, and will take rank with the most
distinguished of our statesmen. Ohio that
has blushed for the coarseness, profanity
and brOthel language of Ben. Wade, will
be proud of the talents and bearing of the
true gentleman, Allen G. Thurman.
