Notwithstanding he has no just or
legal right to it. it is now settled, we
". presume, that W. Pitt Kellogg
will rouain in undisturbed possession
of the seat ia the United States Sen
ate 10 which he was placed BY . par
tisan majority. during the remainder
of the term. The Republican press
assert that to have unseated him
would have been an unwarranted and
unjust exercise Of power by Q parti-
ian majority; but such assertions are
not sustained by the facts in the case,
and it should be q matter of universal
regret that any portion of the press
Of our country should be 80 much
biased by political feeling as to exhibit
such reckless disregard for truth and
justice as to make such assertions
We do not pretend to believe that. if
the case was reversed. no Democrats
would make as unreasonable and bold
assertions; still that does not justify
the Republicans in doing so.
No person who will lay aside all
party prejudice and feeling, aud admit
the plain truth. can for moment
deny that it is q fact that Kellogg
was never elected to the United States
Senate; but will be bound to admit
that every prerequisite to bis election
was lacking. The crowd that claimed
to have elected him had no real exis.
tence as legislative body, and the
seating Of Kellogg is the only official
recognition it ever had as such. while
the man who signed his certificate Of
election was never Governor Of Louis.
iaua. There is no act of that body
recorded and recognized by any au-
thori,y on earth, except this single act
Of the Senate, and nothing to show
that Packard claimed to be Governor
Of this State. excep: this one cerliti-
cate.
1t is true that the Senate alone is
to be the judge of the election of its
members, but there must be some
evidence Of election before it can seat
q member; it has no right to elect u
member for q State the General AS
sembly Of the State alone has that
right, and the Senate las no authority
to set aside the vote Of that body and

ment, that Packard and the crowd
