Tine Democrat members-elect IN the
present General Assembly must be under.
going terrible pressure at the present
time on account Of the unusual number of
aspirants for Senatorial honors in the
field. An interview copied from the
Cleveland PLAIN Dealer held with Hon. ID.
L. Wadsworth, Of this place, will be
found in another column. Mr.. Wads-
worth, for reasons, favors Mr.. Brice for
Senator. Two other unknowns are IN the
field. Messrs Thomas, Of Springfield, and
Harter, Of Mansfield. We do not claim
that an individual Is moi eligible or un-
fitted TO take a seat in the Senate without
first being member of the Lower House
OF Congress, but past precedents have
taught us that II is the better plan to
receive little State education In the
lower temples previous to aspiring 10 the
upper chambers. Brice, Thomas, and
Harter have had no experience OF this
kind, hence their entire unftness Tor the
position. Mr.. Seney, of Tiffin, and G. w.
Geddes, Of Mansfield, are named for the
position, and their chances, after compli.
mentary vote has bsen cast for the un.
knowns, will probably be about even. Let
the Democrat members keep their
former record good by voting for candi-
dates fitted for the position.
