A Consolation.

Unfortunate, though necessary, as
was the defeat Of Governor Palmer the
/ emocratic candidate for the Senator
ship from illinois, for few men in this
country are his peers, it is certainly
consolation to know that Mr.. David
Davis is sheved forever. No man has
ever had greater opportunities thrust
upon him, aud lost them more jnclori-
ousy than he. The only service that
he has rendered during his whole term
OF six years in the Senate was to disgust
the people with the professional "lnde-
pendents' of which he was prominent
type. Six years ago Mr. Davis sat on
the Supreme Bench. Mr. Edmunds was
then broodIng over the plan of an Elec-
toral Commission and Mr.. Davis doomed
up as Appointment figure in the proposed
cong!omerate body. He was the pap
thrown to the Democratic Cerberus to
render the Commission more palatable.
1T was supreme opportunity of Mr..
Davis career to act as the practical
arblter of a critical issue; but with char
acteristic moons ;stency he shirked the
task and accepted an opportune election
to the Senate. This he owed solely to
Democratic votes, reinforced by num-
Der of Radical malcontents, who TINS
allayed the misgivings of the Republican
leaders towards Mr. Davis course in the
Electoral Commission. To him it was
welcome escape from the danger OF
losing the fave or mourning the wrath
of either. both of whom he courted.
Thus became atiunde Joe and r. b.
Hayes d sgraceful possibility. In one
thing alone Mr.. Davis remained consist
ent throughout. and that was in ques-
tons concerning himself He was first,
last and forever Tor David Davis. This
he curiously demonstrated when he
displaced Mr.. BAY ard as President pr0
