Col. George l.. Walton.

The mention Of this worthy gen.
tlemap's name for President of the
State Senate, has met with cheering
responses In many quarters, notably
in New Orleans, where Col. Walton
is highly esteemed BY men whose en-
dorsement is, in our opinion, q fiat.
tering testimonial.
In bringing forward the name .,
Col. Walton, we do not mean to un-
derrate other gentlemen of worth and
ability who may be presented by their
friends, but simply to mention him as
one among such, whose election, vir-
tually that Of Lieutenant-G Governor,
will give entire satisfaction to the
people of the whole State.
Col. Walton is honest, fearless and
just. lie is fluent speaker and n
calm, dispassionate dcbater; unwav-
ering in defending "a rightful measure.
No better man could be elected to
that important position.

Gov. Foster Reelected by
About 5000 Majority.

CINCINNATI. o., Oct. IL. The election in
Ohio has been unusually quiet. and from all
parts from which news has come, are reports
of an exceptionally light vote. In this city the
vote will fall off % to 80 per cent. Party
lines are much broken and the process of
counting will be very tedious.
COLUMBUS, O., Oct. H. At 3 p. NJ. today
from one-half to two-thirds vote of the city
had been cast. 1t is known that heavy vote
was polled from P. NJ. to p. NJ. This,
however, will not bring the local vote up to
that of 1880. The falling off in this city and
county is estimated at nearly one fourth
Sufficient is not known at this hour to determ-
inc which party will gain on account of this
falling off except in one or two isolated cases.
These were in townships and will be against
Bookwalter. The wards will come in slow
on account of heavy scratching on the local
ticket. In some quarters there was enough
scratching, both of Foster and Bookwalter,
to make the result looked for here with con-
siderable interest. Some well known repub-
licans and Methodists scratched Foster, and
perhaps a corresponding number of demo-
Gratis failed to vote or scratched Bookwalter.
One hundred and sixty-six wards and pre-
cincts show net democratic gain of 273.
There are 1882 wards and precints in the
State; at this rate of gain, BoOkwalter will
gain in the State less than 1000, which will
leave Foster a majority of 1900.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct. IL. There is small
prospect of receiving the returns from Ham,
ilton county tonight. At half-past ten not
one precinct had been heard from in full and
only three or four had given reports as to the
head of the ticket. These all inicate fall
ing off in the total vote, amounting to Is or
20 per cent. There is nothing whatever at
this hour to base an estimation of the result
on the county ticket, except that more scratch
ing was done by the republicans than by the
democrats.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. IL. The chairman OF
the Republican State Central Committee de-
clines to claim anything yet except that the
republicans have carried the state. He saws
the returns have not come in sufficiently to
justify him in fixing an estimate of the ma
jOrity. The chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee says the indications
now. are that Fosters majoIity will be about
5000 ard that the complexion of the legisla.
ture will depend upon the result in Cincinnati
and Hamilton county.

On the Wrong Side Again.

The democrats have great aptitude for
getting upon the wrong side of political
questions Il seems to be their fate. In
the rebellion they got on the wrong side
and bad mess they made OF it for them
selves and the country. Upon the sub
jects of emancipation and reconstruction
they went wrong again. while on the
money question they Numbered most alb
surdly. leaving the safe ground OF hard
money and a redesmable currency TO fol-
low after the delusions of soft money ad-
vocates Their last blunder is in refusing
TO admit the senators-elect from New York
and Rhode Island to participate in the
election of President pro tenn of the Sem
ate. Their exclusion of those senators
from seats so that democrat might be
elected President pro tenn is not fair
thing. The States which sent them there
were excluded from representation upon
an important matter in which they
had claim to be heard, but because this
admission would result in the election of
arepublican President pro tenn. Miller and
Lapham and Aldrich were shut out The
feeling predominates in the country that
n republican ought to be President pro
tenn. of the Senate at this time. There are
good reasons Tor such a feeling, one of
which is the less likelihood of disorder
and trouble. in the possible contingency
ofthe death of the President, if the gov
eminent were not thereby changed to an
other party as well rs to another in
dividual.
We trust the republicans will be able to
correct this matter soon by the election of
= republican President pro tenn. but what
democrat can approve the conduct of his
party leaders in refusing the States Of New
York and Rhode Island their just repre-
sentaion in order to gain partisan sue
cess with the possibility Of q gigantic evil
involved in it'

objection the motion was agreed, anu Aidricn
Was sworn In.
Edmunds made similar motion IN the
casss OF the Standardized from n. y
McPhersen interposed. and stated that he
desired to present petition pending tnal
motion. He held in his hands communi-
cation from certain members OF the Ne"
York legislature, alleging certain reasons
why Lapham and Miller are not entitled 10
seats in the Senate. With regard TO these
allegations he knew nothing. He did not
present this petition with any desire to delay
action upon the administration OF the oath.
He offered the petition and would refer II al
the proper time to the appropriate committee
Fdmunds said that as the petition dld not
r.far 10 the proprietv of swearing in the new
senators from New York, he would not OBJ
iect to its rcep ion at the present time.
The petition was received and laid on the
table. and the oath was administered to the
senators from New York.
A committee consisting of Pendleton and
Anthony was appointed by the presiding
officer TO wait upon the fresldeut anu iiioi III
him that the Senate is ready to receive any
communication he might be pleased to make
to them.
After a recess of half an hour. Edmunds
offered resolution declaring that the stand
ing committees of the Senate, as constituted
at the close of the last session, be continued
the present session, and authorizing the Pres
ident pro TEN to fill any vacancy which may
exist.
Harris asked that the resolution lay over
one day under the rules, and it was so
ordered.
The committee appointed to wait upon the
President reported that it had performed Its
duty, and that the President stated that he
would communicate in writing with the SEN
ate tomorrow.
The Senate then at o'clock adjourned
until tomorrow.

FIRE RECORD.
A Heavy Fire in New York.

NEW YORK, Oct, II. Nothing is certainly
known of the loss by the burning Of Nor
rills storage warehouse, last night. 1t is
certain that the loss will not fall far short of
a million and a half of dollars, and it is ex-
pected that when the individual loss becomes
known, the figures will largely exceed that
sum. Among further losses reported by
those who had property stored there are II. j.
Taylor. diamonds and jewelry, 800, 100 !;
Gen. Robert Anderson. hotel furniture and
paintings, $4,000: f. c. Hall, trunks with
valuables and furniture. $4,000; Mrs. l..
NJ. Gamer, furniture and valaables. $40. 900 ::
). Sackiey, furniture. $1,000. The number
of persons who mad goods stored in the build
exceed fifteen hundred. large number Of
private safes containing highly priced Jew
elry were packed away on different floors.
They were nearly all destroyed. Ii is impos-
sible to say how many horses were burned
in the car stable, but probably two hundred
