There were originally six Independ-
ents, but Fawcell Plumb, Of the Seven
tenth district, went over to the Republic
cans last summer, and it is said that Par
IRISH, OF the Forty-seyenth district, did the
same. Senators Haines, Bephler, Har-
rold and GlasSford maintain their indie
pendoHcc Of the two old parties.
10 secure Z majority on joint
ballot, the Republicans must
capture two independents or the Demo
Gratis four. The best that Logan has
done is to get one; the other one he can
never get, while it is positively asserted
that three Republican members OF the
house are solemnly pledged against him.
Logan's defeat, is therefore, inevitable.
While there is life there is hope, and

named himself for the senatorship. So,

bases his aspirations on the fact that his

himself, is financial lunatic. Notwith-
standing repeated open pledges that he

in the event of the Inauguration
OF HAYES, every Federal office
in the state. This is the
strongest combination yet developed
but to be successful also requires that
pair of Independents.
The Democratic aspirants, Palmer
Robinson, Fuller, Trumbull and San
Marshall are also sadly in need of the in
dependent Independents. AS these five
Independents hold the balance of power
it is barely possible that they will die

man.
In looking over the names Of the Re

notable absence of the old wheel
