Had it not been that the wounded and
crippled Union veteran soldiers at the
Dayton Home were at the late election de-
MED the privilege Of voting as they had
shot during the war, Sayler, Republi-
can, would have been elected State sena-
tor. which would have given 10 Republic
ans to II Democrats. " e consider that
the soldiers thus disfrsnchised by a
Democratic election board, and MI. Say
Ter, the Republican candidate, who is
attempted to be dsfrauded Of his seat,
have been basely imposed upon for po-
litical purposes, and we hope Mr.. s.
will contest the right Of DR.. Kemp to
hold the seat, and let the court finally
decide, If necessary, as to whether or
not the inmates Of the Home have the
right Of electors. The Republicans will
have the power and should firmly exer-
else the right to determine the contest
in favor Of Sayler. And we hope the
President Of the Senate, who will have
the casting vote, in case Of q tie, will
not shrink from the responsibility in
this crisis. The Senate of Ohio is fairly
Republican, and is.only a tie by reason
of the outrage practiced upon men
doubly entitled to the elective franchise

A wise result was reached in the Su'
