Joint ballot........ll;

Here, too, the hold-over senators are
greatly in favor of republican success.
When JoHN KELLY defeated ROBINSON
and TILDEN last year he also defeated
HERMAN. By the split in the democratic
ranks the republicans carried five or six
senatorial districts which otherwise might
have been democratic. The result is that
the republicans have % out of 30 of the
hold-oycr senator's, while of those to be
elected only one out of 16 is likely to be
democratic this fall.
1t is probable that the republican ma
jority of SO in the house will be reduced,
but HANCOCK could carry the state by fifty
or sixty thousand majority, and yet the
democratic party would remain in a
minority on joint ballot in the legislature.
Senator CoNKLGNG is certain to have re-
publican colleague in the esenate after March
4 next.
Connecticut is hardly less sure to give us
national republican senator in place OF
the statesrights democrat EATON than are
New York and Pennsylvania.

THE SENATE.

Our democratic district organ, like most
organs Of that ilk, is called upon this hot
weather by the necessities of the political
situation TO extract sunbeams from cucum-
bers and TO feed its readers on blood drawn
from a turnip.
If things were otherwise it would not
be reduced to claiming twelve majority for
the democrats in the senate after March 4,
1881.
We will not go further toward reducing
its hope to despair than to look into the
prospect in three states named by it as sure
to return democratic senators TO fill the
places now occupied by WALLACE of Penn
sylvania, HERMAN of New York, and EATON
of Connecticut.
The Pennsylvania legislature stands now
as follows:

and viii mako a vigorous aud thorough
canvass in behalf of q sweeping victory
Some republicans have expressed the feai
that FoRNEY's detection might find fol
lowing, but so fur as has yet been developed
but single vote, If any, will be controlled
by it. FoRNEY's habit of playing shuttle
between the two parties has become more q
matter of mirth than of alarm with Penn.
sylvania republicans.
As for the state of New York, we will
simply say that the democrats will not be
allowed to capture IL in this canvass. The
truth is, New York is naturally republi-
can state, and is only carried by the demo.
Gratis under very peculiar circumstances
none of which exist at this period. In 1874
TILDEN was elected governor on the reform
wave by some 10000 majority, when, two
years before, General DIX had been elected
by about the same majority. Nobody be-
lieves that this change was wrought under
desertion of republican principles and the
adoption of those of the democracy In 1876
the forces of Mr.. TGLDEN's pretended reform
notions had not been fully spent, and they
aided largely in giving the state to him, but
that victory did not represent q change of
political sentiment equal to its accomplish
ment.
The present canvass wears entirely differ
ent aspects. "TLDEN and reform" have
been consigned to the tomb by the demo-
Gratis themselves. His barrel, after taking
thereirom n cool hundred thousand dollars
for HANCOCK, has been headed up and put
away. The state patronage which was at
TILDES's back in 1876 has passed over TO
the other side. The state election in 1879,
even with the full state patronage in its
aid, exhibited the glaring fact that the
back Of the democratic power had been
broken, aud recovered health and strength
on its part is simply impossible at this time.
Now the republican party is thoroughly
and heartily united, there is no division of
sentiment either as to It's candidates or
principles, and this feeling Of unity and
harmony will soon begin to assert itself in
efficient action. Even Senator CoNKLING,
who had been banished to European tour
this summer and fall by the democrats, re-
fuses to comply with that mandate, pre-
ferring to remain here and aid in securing
a republican victory in his state.
National Republican., 1880-07-16

There is here a majority of % on joint
ballot over both the opposing parties. The
hold-over senators are 16 to Z in favor of
the republicans and of those to be elected
this fall at least Is are from republican dis
tricts. The house of representatives of
that state will also be republican beyond a
reasonable doubt. To change its present
plurality of so over the democrats and its
majority Of 13 over all into democratic
majority of % wouldrequire regular Wa
terloo victory for the democrats, of which
there is not the slightest indication. The
free-trade plank in the democratic plat
form warns the worlingmen of the key
stone state that this is no time to trust
their fate even TO a tariff democrat.
In New York the prospect of demo
cratic legislature is even more distant than
in Pennsylvania. The legislature now
stands as follows:
National Republican., 1880-07-16

Ia the senate republicans to demo-
Gratis hold over, and will take part in the
election of n United States senator. The
senatorial seats to be filed are now held by
7 republicans TO democrats. These
figures are not lik ely to be changed by the
election, as in the other cases the republic
cans can lose the state on the popular vote
and yet retain the control Of the legisla-
ture.
We will not pursue our cotemporary
through its list of democratic senator's ex-
pectant, Those we have disposed of are
samples Of the lot. The senate of the forty
seventh congress will not have democratic
majority of more than one, and it is very
probable that there will be tie, and that

THE presentation OF that Cincinnati reso-
luton to Mr.. TILDEN in New York Oh
Wednesday was a refinement of cruelty
which might very well have been spared
To q man who knows so we'll what is prac-
teal in politics and has hitherto shown so
much indifference to all kinds of sentimen-
talism, this endeavor 10 salve the wounds
inflicted at Cincinnati by paltry, emascu-
lated resolution must have appeared to be
almost ludicrous in its inadequacy And
yet he was forced to stand and have il APP
piled, smile upon the political quacks and
even promise to pay for it out of the barrel.
Here is the plaster-is it not, indeed, a
porous" one?:

with deep sensibiity, and they declare their conf
dence In his wisdom, patriotism and integrity, un-
shaken by the assaults of the common enemy, and
they further assure him he is followed into the re-
tirement he has chosen for himself by the sympa-

The meeting held at the Masonic
Temple last evening, tC express sympa.
thy with, and extend aid to, the suffer
ing poor of Ireland, was not as largely
attended by our citizens az it should
have been. This may be attributed to
the fact that contributions had already
been made in the Catholic churches and
the class of citizens attending them lad
already contributed to the extent of
their ability. The proceedings of the
meeting will be found in our local col.
umn5. Mr.. Dillon and MIR. Murdock
both attributed the poverty and suffer
ing OF the Irish people to the laws of
England, and the course pursued by
the owners of the land, who reside in
London and other cities, and draw all
the money amounting to millions of dol.
lars annually out Of the country, thus
impoVerisElng It and the people. The
abolition OF the laws Of primo.g .geniture,
and the breaking up Of the large estates
into small farms, were held to be- the
only real remedy for the suffering and
want wLicl prevail, the giving of
money oaly affordiug temporary relief.
Both speakers admitted that there was
70 effort made by the tenautry to in
prove the land, as such Improvement
only led to au increase Of rent, and
the liability of being put of at anv
tine on giving ak months notice also
hal an enerVating effect. They Seem |
ed to think a remonstrance on the part
Of the people Of this country and cor

change the laws il regard to this mat
ter, and thus give to Ireland a larre
