ONE CONTEST OYEa.

The Circuit Court of Cincinnati has
rendered opinions in the msudsmgs case
brought By Republican candidates for
Senatorships from Hamilton county and
certificates Of election are to be issued to
them. So the long contest is at an end
aud the Republicans rejoice in the idea Of
having a majority in the Legislature.
From ali reports there must have been
enough consummate csookeduess carried
on in Cincinnati during the election period
to make halt dozen decent cities blush
Ballot box stuaiug, bribery running of
with election returns, forgery, consigning
election documents to strumpetS, etc etc.,
were utetspsrsed throughout the entire
program. But il is over nov, and the
good people Of the city will feel relieved.

be persisted in hereafter. the people may
rise in their might, regardless Of party at
6listions sud give fraud aud corruption

gotten for many day, and they will rele'
gate the men who have been causing the
trouble, to the region of owls and bats.
The sooner this is done, the better it will
be tor Cincinnati.
Since the Legislature is no longer in
question, the subject that will now interest
the Ohioans is, who shall be the next
United Ststes Senator? Senator SHERMAN
has been laughing in his sleeve il the ex-
pectation of being permitted to succeed
himself in that body. But the sentiment
that is rising among the workiDguen may
make matters assume a changed appear
auce. Should this sentiment prevail to q
considerable extent it may prove power
behind the throne in influencing the choice
the Legislature will make. The working
men Of Ohio want no bloody shirt, no hum
bug and no fooKshness. They want busi
ness. Would it be strange to see the exit
of SHERMAN from the senatorial stage,
wrapped in red relic psrsphernslia2

r,,v pRrsIDENr OF THE SENATE.

EhEJAbLA~NN ~ 49,
What the REGIsTER said yesterday morn
ing in regard othe succession OF the Pcesi-
dent pro tsmpore of the Senate, to the Wee
Presidency was correct but 1t SINCE
learned that Senator EDsUSDs was not re-
elected President pro tempore. During the
short session after Mr.. HENDRICKS manga
ration, be was never absent and never Left
the chair, so that there could be an oppor-
,unity for electing President pro teupcre.
Doubtless Mr.. HENDRICKS purpose in do
inr this vas 10 dsfer the election in the
hope that the Senate would become Demo
cratic, and an opportunity given for
Democrat to become President pro tenn
pore.
/ As it is, of course, it now becomes the
-dusy Of the Republican Senate to elect a
President pro tempore, and he will become
acting Vice President. 1t is believed
that Senator EDNUSDs will be the man,
but IN the time to elapss between now and
the meeting of Congress, the members Of
the Senate may come to different opin-
ion. The prestige Senator Logan gained
among the Republicans during bis fight
for the Vice Presidency last election, might
turn the tide in his favor and give him the
opportunity Of ct last sitting in the chair
Of the YIce-PresideRt Or some other
Senator might carry of the laurels.
| With the present Republican majority
| in the Senate, the change of the presiding
officer from the side Of the Democrats to
. that Of the Republicans, will have no per.
/ csptible effect go fer Ss changing the vote
is concerned, but rulings may be
made that will not be 90 favorable to the
\ Democrats. But should the Senate in 1887
be tie, the casting vote of Republican
President pro tempore would mean great
deal. That is among the possibilities and
: il seems nov just IS probable as that the
Senate should then be Republican.
/ But the signs Of the tiuaes in1:cste that
/ the Senate viii then be Democratic. In
( that case the Democrats will not riously
worry to ses Republican acting as Vice
President under g Democratic Admins
tratioa.

spirit OF Thanksgiving day as if they were
sppreciative Of the blessings they enjoy.

means 80. 1t reminds the psopls Of their
obligations, and it also serves as kind of
81 index to their appreciation Of the bless
ipgs of every day LIE. A man that feels
thankful on Thanksgiving day is likely to
feel 90 on other days of the year.
HyeSsrday may be taken for an index,
the people Of Wheeling are pretty well
conseuted. Democrats we're feeling thank
ful that we are nov living under Demo

were thankful that thsy had carried Ohio.
