The Ohio United States Senator

Now that the popular vote at the late election
has declared most emphatically in favor Of the
Republican yarty, the United States Senator to
be elected by the next Legislative Assembly
will, without doubt, be a representative Of Re-
publican principles. At present 1t appears as
II senator SHERMAN we're the coming man."
for occupying a renewed lease of that office.
or that result, however, there is no certainty
as from their inability to elect as Senator n
member Of their own party, the Democrats may
possibly relinquish a nomination, and support
any man wh1. my seem more acce. table
N them than Hon. JonI SHERMAN. Should
there be but very small number of Republican
legislators, inimical TO SHERM N and in favor o
such candidate as the Democrats would support,
his d,feat will follow.
II Is however to be lo2ed that none of the
gentlemen who have been elected as Republi
cans, will lend themselves to an operation Of
this kind, as fealty to the party nominee in the
case Of AM office Of so mach importance should
be a matter Of personal honor. Whether Sena-
tr Sac RMAN or any Other good and competent
man be nomiBatsl let him have a cordial
and hearty support. Senator SHERMAN has
pIoved himself to be vefy competent and an
able representative of this great State in the
Senate of the United States, and we should b,
sorry to see his place occupied by any less able

The Chicago Republican has opened fire on
those Insurance Companies that are quibblirg
about paying their liabilities. In paragraph
it says: "The reports from the banks are en-
couraging; but it iswell kn :wn that the banks
cannot hold out If the insurance companies fail
TO do what is in their power to relieve the peO-
pie. Atpresent there seems to be greater effort
en- the part Of the latter 10 obtain new risks at
enormous rates than to settle the old ones."
Further along the Republican has, an article on
this subject, as follows
"0n all hands we hear grumblings and NUT
terings by the people against what they con-
sider-and very jnstly-the unnecessary delays
experienced at insurance offices in the adjust
ment Of claims. Every hubble is seized with
avidity and taken advantage of to postpone
settlement. The loser is called upon for details,
which, many instances, it is impo ssble TO
furnish and when he has made his exhibit ac-
cOrding to the best Of his knowledge or recOl iec-
tion, set Of men called "adjusters (" are put to
wOrkto cut down all his estimates to 4 point not
alone below the actual value but below the face
Of the insurance policies, which is seldom more
than half the value of the property destroy ed.
Against all such acts of bad faith we protest in
the name Of our stricken people. II the insur-
ance companies either cannot or will not sta nd
NJ to their agreements with the people, ,.let them
say so, and they will be understood. But let
them moi, while trumpeting their solvency
and advertising themselves as ready and will
ing to pay every dollar, seek these dishenorable
evasiOns. We beg to assure them that their
bad deeds will not soon be forgotten"

In whose employ the supposed deceased was at the

that Jones was IN me habIt OF rising early
