PafkcnbuTg State Journal.
We had prepared and had in type an edi'
torial advocating the support Of II. y. Davis
BY the united Republican legislative vote
for 70 election TO the Senate, believing that
such Il move would have proved effective
and would have secured the election Of u
man who would feel under obligations to
Republicans and who was opposed TO the
spirit oil BourboniSm and opposed by Bour'
bons. But the Democratic caucus has de
cided in favor OF MIR. kenna and his cleo
ton is assured.
1.-THE Republican members had remained
INIT, instead Of each one waiting for
something TO turn up, and at the proper
time signiled their willingness TO support
MIR. Davis, enough Democrats could have
been found, who, united with the Republic
cans, could have compelled Mr. Davis 10
have accepted the SenatoTship. As 1t ID,
we have disappointed party capable Of
Vrea, things, Il wise discretion had
Governed lis counsels. The Republican
members are therefore partly responsible
for the election Of Dir. Renna.
We know 1t is claimed that his recent
tendencies are with the Camden and Davis
wing Of the Democratic party. We hope
this is true. Mr.. Kenna Is young, impnl'
siye and ambitious, and Il may BIO that the
sheen Of the Senatorial toga, shining from
alar, may have impressed his young spirit
with that calmness and dignity, and thai
degree Of reflection, which has shown him
the error Of his way, and that be has re-
solved 10 amend the past by laborlng Iol
