Senatorial Electinns

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Just now the order Of legislative business
is the election Of United htates Senators.
Tuesday there was halloting all along the
line in the separate branches of the several
Legislatures, and yesterday the joint meet
ings and ballOting occurred. In most cases
one vote only was necessary, but Illinois
was an exception 10 the rule, as everybody
expected il would be-

ported A. J. streetor No bitterness was
shown, nor any disposition TO yield point
So long as the three parties present each a
solid front there will be no election. There
seems TO be no disposition on the part of
either of the two great parties to go over to
the third party. Governor Palmer had l0I
votes, Governor Ogiesby l00 but neither the
100 nor the l0l could be thrown for some
mere nonentity. The contest is so very close
that each party feels that it can win next
time, and. as consequence, both would
prefer to leave the de 'dlock unbroken 10
breaking it with a political cipher. The
Republicans seem united in this, that they
will adhere TO Governor 0glesby to the end,
unless there is definite reason to suppose
that he could not be elected and some other
candidate could be.
The most notable election was that Of
Governor Hill, of New York He goes to

lands hackers thought il would be good
politics TO shelve Hill by putting him in the

work that way. On the contrary. the good
politics was the acceptance Of the transfer
