The Election of United States Sem
atOrS.


atOrS.
Aside from the theoretic matter of
State sovereignty as involved in the
manner Of choosing United States
Senators, II thing indeed which is
more Imaginary than real, it is worth
while considering whether anything
would be gained by transferring the
elections from the Legislatures to the
popular polls. We think the conse-
quences OF such a change would be
rather evil than good.
The objections to the present sys-
TEN appear to be twofold. the one
that the Legislatures may be openly
bought up by candidates, rs has hap
pened in Pennsylvania. Ohio, perhaps
New Jersey, and other States; the
other that Legislatures often fail to
elect the man who is the popular
favorite, and therefore their choice is
unrepresentative. Both of these evils
are real enough and serious enough.
In this and other States we have seen
men sem to the United States Senate
who could not get votes enough to
make them Assemblymen If they were
subjected to the test of popular suf-
frage; but the question remains
whether anything better would result
from the mooted change.
1T seems 20 US the change would
simply mean the transfer of the cleo
ton of the Senator from the Legisla-
ture to the convention of the major
ity party. This, it seems to us, would
in no degree reduce the danger of
bribery. 1t would obviously increase
the evils of dickering, dealing and
wire-pulling. Scandals at primary
elections, scandals in the Hobbies of
the conventions themselves would, or
at least might, become the order of
the day. In the case of a Leg
islature, there is some certain
sense of responsibility. There is a
very strong and searching light of
publicity which penetrates even to

a good and a wise thing, a thing
which has an air of virtue about it.
Here is such an expression from his
letter to the Police Board, dated Feb

ton is that it is not broad enough.
We would suggest this extension OF
it,
Are dishonest men safe officials in any capac-

Tho Republican solemnities.

1t is q popularity of all Repub-
lican functions in this region that
they partake of the nature of a
funeral. If the corpse is not exactly
dead about the time conventions are
called, he is usually so assuredly
moribund that not even words OF
hope are in order. The convention
which meets this afternoon is a pecu-
liarly sad occasion. Its principal
purpose is the official registering of a
monumental disappointment.
The convention was called in the
flush of confidence, born of the ex-
p~ectation that the Democratic party
was on the eve of committing itself to
an impossible candidate. The party
leaders saw ahead the brightest pros
poets. They beheld themselves, in
their own minds. running a champion
of law and good order against a dis
credited veteran of systematic mis-
government. They were going in to
win. They would rally all honest
Democratic support to their candi-
date, and they would sweep the town
on a reform cry.
A change has come over the spirit
of their dream. The Democratic lead
ers and still more the Democratic
masses thought they would do a little
reforming themselves. They united on
d man whose name is a synonym for
honesty and sound government. They
resolutely cut adritt from the tradi-
ito MS of ring rule, of jobbery, of crook
edness of very sort. They with n
motion brushed as ide every reproach,
every objection that could be adj
vanced against them, and placed the
party in an unassailable stronghold.
Therefore, the Republican party
meets this afternoon without a candi-
date, without a policy, and practical
ly without a hope. Its adjournment
without nominating is a virtual con
fession of the impossibility of electing
any Republican in the city over Allan
L. McDermott.
But we are wrong. The Republi-
cans have one hope. 1t is on the
strength of that they adjourn instead
of nominating a wooden Indian candi-
date at once.
That one hope is, that even yet AL
Ian L. McDermott may not be nomi-
mated.

HAS A LADY'S HAND.

Lester Davish Makes His Escape by Slipping
His Handcuffs-Caught in Pittsburg-
Wanted at Lancaster-Deputies in a
Dilemmx-Taken Back for Trial.
Sheriff Sides, of Lancaster, arrived in
this city yesterday morning and returned
home last evening with Lester Davish in
custody. Davish is the young man arrested
in this city few days ago as fugitive
from Justice. He is wanted for escaping
from deputy sheriff When first captured
he denied his identity, giving his residence
as Latrobe and another name instead of his
own.
For a youth of %, Davish is said by
Sheriff Sides to have lengthy criminal
record. His last scrape was the larceny of
a watch and other jewelry from Lancaster
man. 1t was not long until he was appre-
hended and lodged in the county Jail tor
court trial. The Jail is about a mile distant
from the Court House. Last Monday, as
couple of deputy sheriffs were escorting
seven or eight prisoners from the Jail for
trial, Davish slipped the manacles and
made dash for liberty.
The deputies could not pursue, having to
watch the other prisoners, and before the
alarm was given Davish got away. His
capture resulted from descriptions of him
telegraphed all over the State. Davish is
determined looking criminal, of slight,
supple build and hand as small and soft
as woman's Owing to this characteristic
he has been able to escape by slipping the
handouts from his wrists several times
Sheriff Sides put a pair on him yesterday
which were probably too tight for comfort,
but Davish will hardly succeed in slipping
them off
