THE LONG SENATORIAL CON-
TEST In ILLINOIS ENDED.
sThe Black Hussar" Wins. The Gal
liant Logan Succeeds Himself
in the II. s. Senate.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 19.-In the
joint session of the Legislature, there
was great jam in the House, both on
the floor and in the galleries. Fifty-one
Senators were present and 153 Repre-
sentatives. When the vote was taken, a
dead silence prevailed. The Democrats
refused to vote. All the Republicans in
the Senate voted for Logan, giving him
twenty-six votes. Ruger's vote was re-
ceived with cheers. When Sittig was
called, he made long speech explaining
his position. He voted for Logan under
protest, and the announcement was re-
ceived with the widest cheers. This
gave the vote 1O9 for Logan.
On the call of the absentees, the Dem
ocrats voted, and solidly, for Judge Lam
bert Tree. After the roll call, Baker,
McNary, McAliney, Caldwell, Quinn and
Crafts changed their votes to Charles B.
Farwell. Barry Oem.) changed his
vote to John A. Logan, and the widest
confusion prevailed. This insured his
election.
The roll call was proceeded with after
time, the Democrats attempting to
elect Farwell (Republicanl, hoping to get
some Republican votes. Barry withdrew
His vote from Logan, but stated that he
would not allow any other Republican
but Logan to be elected.
No Republican having deserted Logan
and gone to Farwell, Speaker HaiDes
finally announced the vote, and declared
Logan elected U. S. Senator for six years.
Upon the announcement of the vote,
Gen. Logan was sent for, and making
his appearance in the Hall, was conduct
ed to the Speakers desk, and in a hearty
speech, expressed his gratitude to the
Legislature for the compliment paid him.
Shortly after the result of the election
was known, the General was the recip
lent of many congratulatory kilograms
from all sections of the country; among
them was the following from Hon. Jas.
G. Blaine, at Washington:
II congratulate you most cordially.
Your contest is unprecedented; your
victory is memorable"

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
says: The servants in small political
way of bOssy John are going up and
down the State, and they do not seem
to be informing the Democracy that the
bossy is not candidate for the U. S:
Senate. On the contrary, the work is
being done to prepare boodlers for the
next General Assembly.
The Doodle candidates must run in
disguise. They are desired to accept at
once in cash the sum of their campaign
expenses. In this way their sensibili-
ties are to be touched.
The boodlers bear marks by which
they may be known. 1t is known that
there are several tools of Boss Johnny
in Belmont county who are perfectly
willing to accept his poodle if for
no other purpose than to line their
trousers pockets.

THE Democratic papers in Ohio are
doing their utmost to impress upon their
readers that Charles Foster, the ex-Gov'
ernor, has returned to politics with pro
found intentions.
Their object is not obscure. They as
sumo that Foster is unpopular, and they
are using bis name unwarrantably in the
hope to excite prejudices by which they
may profit Ex-Governor Foster is. as
We understand it, about as much retired
from politics as ever he was.
There has not been the slightest eVi>
dence that he ever ceased to be interest
ed in the politics of the country. 1t has
been good many years since be was not
on hand at the important conferences
and conventions Of his party. only Two
wears ago there was never ending falsl-
fication that Foster had mortgage on
Foraker, and this was insisted upon
without the slightest regard for truth.
1t has been generally known for some
time that Ex-Governor Foster has given
too much time to politics for his own
good, or, as they would say in New Eng
land, for his highest and best good. He
seemed to have been fully persuaded of
that fact; and we have not heard of any
alterations in his opinions bearing on
that subject.
The people of Ohio may be assured
that there is no Foster-Sherman-F Foraker
combination-no bargaining or arrange
ment. We know that Senator Sherman
is candidate for reelection to the Sen
ate. His original reluctance on that
subject has been entirely overcome, and
we are not aware that there Is any prom
inent Republican against him. If there
is one he has not put in recognizable
appearance.
The indications are strong just now
that Foraker will be the Republican can
didate for Governor, bat he will be nom
mated only if the convention is substan-
TALLY unbroken for him. We have not
beard whether Foster is for Foraker for
Governor and Sherman for the Senate,
but it seems reasonable that he should
be, and all talk about bargaining is i'm
pertinent and rrelevant.-Cin. CONNER

SPEAKER HAINEs and his Democratic
henchmen of tie Illinois Legislature
seem to be of the opinion that it is all
very well for the people to go Through
the motions of voting, if they want to;
but the real work is to be done by the
ballot-box suffers and legislative fill
busters. Not since the disgraceful at
tempt to steal the Maine government,
has there been anything more disreputa-
BILE than the determined efforts of the
Democrats in the Illinois Legislature to
prevent Weaver, the regularly elected
member from the 34th district, from ta-
king his seat, and the election of Rer
publican United States Senator.

THE Highland News is in favor of a
local option clause in the Republican
State platform. This would result in
gradually bringing about prohibition in
the greater portion of the State outside
the larger cities. On the other hand it
would enable the people of those cities
where the majority may be in favor of
the traffic, to permit it under such regu

proper to prescribe,

an important Office by President Cleve>

was to select his son as an assistant at a
