Sensible Conclusions.

Washington Dispatch to Philadelphia Press.
Some Republican senators are of tie
opinion that the newly elected senators
cannot be sworn in until president pro
tempore shall have been elected, and it is
certain that all the Democrats of the Sen.
ato hold to that view. It is somewhat
doubtful, notwithstanding tho assertions
that have been made to the contrary, that
there will be any tilibustering by tho Re
publicans against tho regular organization
of tho Senate by the actual majority. This
will make a Democrat president pro tenn.
of tho Senate and he will remain in Office
even after the swearing in Of the new sena-
tors, because of the tic that will then exist
between the two parties. OF course, it is
that tho president pro tenn. has
a vote just as other senators. The choice
of the Democrats for this office will prob
ably be Mr.. Bayard.
