The Senatorial Contaat

The one thing which will over
shadow all else in the coming polit-
ical campaign, will be the securing
of g United States Senator. The
term Of Allen G. Thurman the pres-
ent Democrats Senator expires on
the 4th of March 1875, and the cleo
tion Of his successor will devolve
upon the Legislature which is to be
chosen this fall, hence the State
ticket viii be In a measure ignored
by the Democracy, and their efforts
concentrated upon the candidates
for the Legislature, and especially
in the closely contested counties.
The work Of organization has already
been commenced by the Democracy,
and preparations are being made to
bring out their strongest men in all
close counties, as well as to place at
the disposition of managers sufflci-
ent means to make the work of can
vassing thorough and complete.
They had hopes that the injudici-
Gus course of the past Congress
would have divided and weakened
the Republicans so that success with
them would have been easy; but the
result of the Constitutional Con-
vention election has convinced them
that their hopes we're vain, and that
the mass of Republicans still have
faith in the integrity of the party
notwithstanding the delinquency of
individuals. The result has shown
them also that their only hope of
success lies in the concentration of
means and efforts in those counties
where contests are decided by slight
majorities. They have no hopes of
carrying the State, and their tactics
will show that that is minor con-
sideration.
We do not believe, however, that
they will find the Republicans of
the counties which they count on
Indifferent to the result or
ignorant of their purposes. But, on
the contrary that they will find them
ready to contest every inch of
ground. Still, it is well to sound
the alarm and put every one on
guard, that the first approaches may
be met and defeated and the subse-
quent triumph secured.

We have heard nothing from it since
it's introduction. Perhaps the black
list system of marking absentees,
werks so well that nothing else will
be needed.-Leader.
Mark Twain writes a letter to the
Tribune urging that ships and steam
ers be provided with life RATS, in
stead of the almost useless boats.
Not one of the Atlantic's eight boats
saved a human life. The great cum
bersome things we're shivered to at
Oms by the seas that swept over the
stranded vessel; and suppose they
had not been shivered, would the
case have been any better. Would
not the frantic people have plunged
pel-mell into each boat as it was
launched, and instantly swamped itS
They always do, but a life raft is a
different thing. The sort of life raft
proposed is an American invention,
consisting of three inflated horizon
tai rubber tubes, with n platform
lashed on top. These RATS are of
all sizes.
