The political LAWYERS OF Ohio are eSer.
Clsed over the method by which General
Ga,6eld's successor as United Senator
must be elected. Tho statute provides
that when a vacancy in the rllice Of Sen.
ator occurs when the Legislature is not in
eession /. shall be filed by the Legisla'
ture at an election held on the second
Tuesday alter the Legislature meets; and
If the vacancy occurs when the Legisla'
ture is in session It shall be filed on tue
second Tuesday after the an
nouncmeent OF the vacancy is
made. General Garfield was elected
last winter bectuee the Ohio Legislature
meets bienuially, while Senator Humans
term will not expire until the All oil
March, 1881. The question is, Would
General Garfield's non.aCcepiance OF the
Office, announced before that date, creats
vacancy? Some Republicans fear that II
the Legislature in extra session elects his
succes or before March the new Leg
islature in 1851 iii By any chance it should
be Democralic) might elect e Democrat
and 20 give ground for contest. Gen. G.
II. Grosveper offers the following way out
OF The difficulty:
"Let General Garfield request Senator
PeudIetou TO withdraw hts credentials IS
& on as the Senate conveues, and molly
the Governor OF Ohio that he will not &C.
cept the Office II senator. Then on the
second Tuesday alter The Governor sends
official notice OF these facts to the Legisla'
ture, let 1t proceed and elect Senator Tor
six Yeas from March 4, 1881, and file his
credentials. On the h OF March such
Senator will be seated on his prima
tacie case. Then on the second
Tuesday after the All Of Mach let the
Lee islature elect the same Senator again.
and let his new credentials be filed. And
then, il objection is made to The first elec'
ton, the Senate can decide that as m abb
stract question aud re shall not feel any
especial interest in how it does decide.
The question will be an interesting one 10
q lawyer, but 10 nobody else. Ohio will
be represented by a Republican all the
time, and the strain at Columbus avoided"

Now, therefore, having met in Parkers-

While our people can, with lGudable
State pride, refer to the fact that more
than half the counties OF their Switzer-
land OF Americ1 are rejoicing In the thrift
and security Of prohibition, yet they must
note with alarm The insidiOus inroads oil
the accuned traffic into unRuarded por'
tons OF counties heretofore free from the
curse.
We are persuaded that the enlightened
conscience OF our voters only awaits an
opportunity for expression at the polls In
favor OF general prohibitory law TO rem
der ever community alike safe and secure
for the future sgainst legaiEed education
in inremperauce, debaucheFy and crime.
We, therefore, urge upon Christians and
Temperance citizens the Importance o. q

convention, that ways and means may be
devised and speedily contaminated unto
absolute ssiety for the future otour thrifty
young State.
