WASHINGTON, Nov 10Th, 1879.
No election Of United States Senator in
any State for long time has created SO
great an interest as that to occur in Ohio
In January coming This is partly owing to
the fact that one of the ablest Democratic
managers is be replaced by a Republic
can, for there is no doubt that Judge Thur
man is man who will be greatly missed in
the Senate. But it is also largely owing to
the fact that there is very general impress
sion here and elsewheXe, that Gen. Garfield
is to be the successor Of Judge Thurman,
and in the promotion of Gen. Garfield there
is much interest taken, both inside and out
side his party. He is personally very high
ly regarded and all concede that as legls-
lator he has few equals in either house.
His loss to the house will be q
great one, for his experience there
has been so long, and faithful
that his word is law with his fellow men,
ber. 1t is not too much 10 say in this
connection, that many of General Garfields
friends aspire to higher than Senatorial
honors for him. eye has been named
.as promising candidate for President,
and several Presidential tickets are adorned
with his name for Woo President
notice in particular that some of Mr..
Blaine's western friends put the ticket
Blaine ard Garfield, which would make as
strong ticket, probably, as could be
made for the Republican party.
The election in New York turns out to |
be marvel Of coseness, when we con.
slider the immense vote that state casts.
That the choice of Lieutenant Governor
should be in doubt and that the success
full man may have less than one thousand |
majority in nearly 100000 votes
is an instance Of equality in
party voting hardly parallelcd. 1t is not to
be wondered at, however, when we recollect
that state, like Ohio, has given the Demo
Gratis and Republicans majorties alternate
ly for the last ten years. New York is a
doubtful state, and that is what makes the |
interest so intense in its probable action
next year. dishonesty is bad policy" |
that is motto now applied to the Virgins
ryadiustors. We have had several cases re-
ported here since the election in which the |
capitalists have expressed their determma-
ton to sell out and quit Virginia be-
cause OF the difficulty of doing business in |
a state that endorses reputation, or forci- |
bic scaling down of honest debt, public or
private The national welfare of that state
win be dlsastrously affected by the late
vote
Secretary Eyarts has got plenty ofmateri-
al with which to show the swinding nature
of the fishing award lately paid to Canada'
That money IN fact was demanded that
Great Britain might get even for the "Ge-
neya Award" If Canada even thinks of
getting another reciprocity treaty, her peo-
pie and the British Government must UNI
derstand that il should be one in which re.
ciprocal iavors do not mean gifts from the
United States and nothing IN return
Secretary Sherman will probably recon.
mend the repeal Of the act requiring the
coinage of 100000 standard silver dol.
lars per month on the ground that they can
not be forced into circulation, even the sll-
yer men are now going back on them"
