Political Notes.

THE ILLINOIS AND OREGON sENAToRsHIPs, ETC.
Since the Oregon legislature has adjourned
without electing United States Senator it is
probable that the governor Of the state will I'LL
the vacancy in the Senate. A hot controversy
Is going on as to his authority In such case.
The democrats contend that under the consti-
tuition he has no right 20 make an appointment
except in case of q vacancy occurring during
the recess of the legislature. The republicans
take the ground, however, that the governor
has the right to appoint when the legislature
fails to elect. The governor in this case will
likely follow his party, and the Senate will con-
firm his action by admitting his appointee.
Eight or ten democrats were absent from the
meeting of the Illinois legislature Saturday.

ocrats were thoroughly frightened, but suo-
