GOV. HaMnroN,s pELIoArE TASK.

By singular series OF circumstances
Gov Hamilton, Of Illinois, has had placed
in his hands peculiar power, fraught with
great temptations. The contest between
two candidates for State Senate, the deciS-
ion of which will determine whether the
Legislature is Republican or Democratic,
has been referred to him BY the State Can
wasting Board, which declares It's inability
to coue to a decision. The solution OF
this question will not only give one party or
the other the control Of the Legislature, but
will give the Yictors United States Sen
ator in place Of General Logan. Now, it
happens that Governor Hamilton is himself
. candidate for seat in the United States
Senate, and his position is seen to be one Of
peculiar delicacy. The temptation to give
the Republicans the control will, under the
circumstances, be very strong, and even if
his decision on that side should be based
upon a conscientious Interpretation Of oil

inpugned by suspicious politicians Of the
opposition Il will be seen that the Gov.

watersOp For The Navy.

The editor Of the esteemed Louisville
CourierJournal, who doubtless feels thar
his free trade phslanx contributed largely
to the late Democratic triumph, is on hand
promptly with Cabinet al properly Joined
tor President Cleveland. Several excellent
names are suggested, especially those Of ex.
Senator Thurman, ex-senator Mcdonald,
etc, out we seriously object to the omission
of Kentucky in the list Of repre-
ssntstion. Kentucky is certainly more
entitled to place than Penn
sTlTsnia; therefore We suggest the with
drswal of Mr.. Randall for Secretary Of the
Navy and the substitution Of the name oil
henly WstteIson, whose modesty doubtless
prevents him fou presenting his claim and
that Of his noble commonwealth. Mr.. ".
lacks familiarity with naval Affairs, but so
did Robson snd so did Bill Chandler at the
start. There is q suggestion of water ia
his name which ought to count for some
thing, and the fact tia, be has been a. sea
for years on some Of the leading economic
questions is big point in his favor. And
20 we splice the main brace" in hoaor Of
he nomination Of Henry Wattersou as Sec
retary Of the Navy.
