Hon. H. b. BANNING, a member of
the present house of representatives,
will be the next governor of Ohio. At
least he will receive the democratic
nomination, which of course amounts
to election.-Denrer Democrat.
The Democrat speaks more confident
ly than the bounding Banning himself.
There are, perhaps, two points in the
extract susceptible of amendment: ()
Banning is not so certain of the nom
ination. He was badly beaten in his
aspiration for a denomination TO, con-
gress, and has not produced the most
favorable impression upon the democra-
cy of the state; ~ if the democratic
nomination in Ohio were equivalent to
an election, Senator A. G. Thurman is
the man who would head the state
ticket next October. Then in case of
election, he would prove an irresistible
presidential candidate in the national
democratic convention next year, for a
man must carry Ohio, to be successful.
But Mr.. Thurman shrewdly suspects
that Ohio is a solid republican state, rs
shown by the state vote last fall, and
he will not be caught by chaff. Should
Banning run for governor there seems
to be nothing more certain than his
defeat.

In view of the fact that the next
congress which meets on the fourth of
next month, will be democratic, all
the appointments Of any moment under
the Hayes administration will be made
during the present session.-Omaha
Bee.
As the terms Of the present members
of congress do not expire until the
fourth of March, it is difficult to recon-
cile the Bees statement that ''the next
congress meets on the fourth of next
month, February. Besides, there
are no indications that the next con-
gress will meet in special session, but
will wait until December, the usual
time for converting. To construe the
matter most charitably, a bungling
compositor must have metamorphosed
the Bees manuscript.

ward its decision to the president of
the senate, which shall be final, unless
rejected by the vote of both houses
Senator Edmunds' plan provides
that the vote of no state shall be count
ed unless both houses of congress agree
to count 1t. Mr.. ~Soathard's plan pro-
vides that all votes shall be counted,
unless both houses agree to reject one
or more. Southland makes each state
responsible, through its judiciary, for
the authenticity of at least one return,
and provides for the receipt of none
but that. Edmunds' leaves the power
Of determination with congress. .Sonth-
ards bill, like Edmunds' prohibits the
extension Of the count beyond five cal
andar days, and is quite as stringent in
its provisions against filibustering.
There are other independent pr oposi-
tions pending; Senator Merrimon has
one; and also Congressman Springer.
But as Southard's has been called up by
a committee, it will likely receive
the speedy consideration of the house.

THE ELECTORAL BILLS.

Yesterdays Washington dispatches
stated that the house committee on
elections had reported adversely on the
senate electoral bill, and called for
action on thelSouthard bill. The LEAD
Err expressed the opinion a month ago
that the house would fight shy of Sena-
tor Edmunds' measure, as it fears that
nobody but the crafty senator under
stands all the provisions of the bill and
he wouldn't explain until a presidential
count was progressing under 1t. The
house committee recognises the neces-
sity of making an improvement in
the electoral machinery, but expresses
a preference for Mr.. Southard's bill,
because the author is a democrat, and
Of course there are no republican adj
vantages hidden between its lines.
We have already noticed in these
columns the provisions Of the
Edmunds bill. Briefly stated, the
Southland bill leaves the election for
president, as now provided, on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday Of No
vember; and the meeting of the electors
IN the second Monday Of the January
following, but provides that the cleo
tors, after voting, shall prepare three
returns, instead of two as is now the
law, one of which shall be sent by mes
senger, and another by mail to the
president of the senate, while the third
shall be deposited with the judge of the
district in which the electors shall
meet. If there is a controversy regard
ing the eligibility of electors, or, If the
electiorof any Is disputed, the same
shall be decided by the highest judicial
tribunal of the state, which shall for

CALEB CUsmNe, it will be remem-

Of the United States supreme court,
by President Grant, but, the senate
refused to confirm him. This fact
calls up what Senator, then Associate
Chief Justice, Davis, said at that time:

SWitZerland's SoIdiery

Compulsive military service is the
rule in Switzerland, but the federal
council has the power Of raising or low
ering the standard of height. For 1879
the standard has been raised by five
centimetres-say two inches-a step
which helps the treasury both ways,
since there will be a smaller force to
support during the period of drill, and
there will be an increased revenue from
the exemption tax which those beneath
the standard height have to pay.

The Fort Benton Record asserts
that large numbers of Sioux are on
this side of the northern boundary. 1t
is comfortably supposed by most folks
that Sitting Bull is peacefully herding
his cratic followers on the British
ranch. This statement, If true, would
seem to indicate that the large number
of lodges will be moved farther south
in the springtime.
