Republicans in the Legislature, and the
temperance question is disposed OF. AT ter
hammering away on the matter all winter,
the Conference committee Of the Houi e
and Senate agreed upon submitting twu
propositions to the people, the text oil
which the REGISTER has already published
Immediately after the resolutions had
passed in the Senate, Senator Chapman Of
fered license proposition, which received
every vote in the Senate, but which was
given the cold shoulder in the House,
where, among both Democrats and Replb-
licans, it only secured thirty.eight votes,
which made the members from the city
feel greatly disappointed. as the majority
of their constituents in Cincinnati, Cleve-
land, Columbus, Toledo and Dayton de-
manded license. Between the two propo.
sitions to be submitted, il is highly proba-
| bic that legislative control will carry,
though there is probability that neither
will pull through. The resolution passed
in bare time 10 have it published the
length Of time before the election.
The Statesmen.
Columbus has enjoyed another influx of
great men during the past week. Senator
| John Sherman and Senator George III. Pen
dletOu have been here to make friendly
call on the boys and possibly TO lay the
| ropes for future operations. In the Senate
| and House the gentlemen were both given
| receptions and made short speeches, thank
| ing the members for the courtesy extended.
| Gentleman George appears the same man
| he was ten years ago, and the old st2gers
| who have not seen him since that time and
| who called upon him at the Neil House,
state that there is no change in him except
| perhaps little more rOtundity OF form. q
One or two members OF the House on the
| Democratic side attempted 10
Snub senator PendIeton
| by not coming up TO greet him and take
| HIM by the hand.
Ii they imagined that any lack OF atten.
| tion of this kind could ruie the even
| temper of the sauve and placid George II.
| they were greatly mistaken. Charlie Val
| andigham, who has maintained reputa-
| ton as young man OF very good sense,
| is one of the gentlemen whom it is said
| tried to cut Ohio's distinguished Senator
| on account of his Civil Service bill. What
| ever his views may be OF that law such an
exhibition of smalness is not at all refresh.

| Senatorial fight is already looming up
| rather brightly. The fight for the Legis.
laiure is to be made on a Pendleton

Several members OF the Legislature are in
his favor as u gentleman who would draw
very extensively from the liberal element
| Of both parties. Should he he successful

already makes a good showing. would be

tered the contest as guhrrnaturial aspi-
rant, who, Judging from past victories,
may make the other boy feel very
shady. The dark horse is General
! c. G.. WalCutt, who last MOnGay was elect
! ed Mayor Of this city. Last ~pring the
| Democrats had nearly eight hundred ma
| jority. General Walcut, was one Of the
| hravest and one Of the youngest Generals
| in the Union Army, aud served from the
| beginning to the end. lie WAS then made
Warden Of the Ohio pentCntiary, where
! he instituted many reforms and was the

IN his canvass for Mayor politics was
almost entirely ioigolten and he went in
on his personal popularity and won, being
elected 10y near oUb majority, and taking
the greater part Of the Republican ticket
through witt. hIU. The morning after his
! election A. Mayor two or three hundred Re.
publiCans called On lHm and insisted that
he allow his name To be used tor Governor.
He positively deoliaed, but did the same
| thing when he was spoken OF Tor Mayor,

mated him and he accepted 1t is pre-
! sumed he will do the same thing ii he is
nominated for Governor. He is not in
with the church or moral element and
would be a candidate simply to draw from
the ranks of Democracy on account OF his
/ liberal tendencies.
