THE UNITED STATES SENAT0RSHIP,

! As was evident after the two or three
first ballots, the election of a United
States Senator to succeed Senator Dor
soy, would result in favor of Hon. J. D.
Walker, Of Fayetteville. He was, we
believe, the youngest among the half
dozen names presented to the assembly,
but, in political and intellectual ability,
was the peer of any of his competitors,
and, we feel confident, will assume a po-
sition in the senate of the United States
that will reflect credit on himself and
do honor to the legislature aud the peo-
pie Of the State of Arkansas. Well may
Western Arkansas feel proud that among
so many able and deserving gentlemen,
for this high position, that she was thus
honored and, in feeling thus, it is not
in the spirit of exultation over those
who were less fortunate.
No one questions the ability and the
undertaking integrity of Hon. r. W.
Johnson, the competitor OF Mr.. Walker,
on the last ballot and notwithstanding
the charge of member that he had
been offered bribc TO vote for Mr.
Johnson, we are as confident that when
the examination is had, that the skirts
of Robert W. johnson will be found un-
stained, and his high character for honor
and integrity through a long and honor
able life, untarnished, as we are that the
sun will rise on the morrow.
We clip from the Gazette the follow
ing extracts, announcing the result Not
withstanding the defeat of a most cher
ished object, they are words worthy ofa
Johnson.
Although we have used our utmost of
forts to defeat this result, in striving to
have another elected, whom we eonsci-
entiously believed could better subserve
the interests of the state and people Of
Arkansas in that exalted position, we
nevertheless yield cheerfully to the YER
dict that has been pronounced, and will
give to Judge Walker hearty and con-
sistent support.
Although our opposition to Judge
Walker has been persistent and as Wig
orous as we could make it, we have new
er said aught to reflect upon his honor
and integrity as man, or tried to belit-
tie his talents or abilities; and it is II
source Of some consolation to us to
know that, through this long and spirit
ed contest, we have maintained the most
cordial relations Of personal friendship
with him.
