HANNA is SENATOR.
Until His Successor Is Elected Hanna Holds
the Ohio senatorship.

Washington, Jan ll.--Senators who
have examined presidents say that the
appointment of senator by COVER
nor, as in the case Of Senator Hanna,
holds until the legislature elects or
adjourns. Congress having provided
by law that a legislature cannot elect
until it has been in session two weeks,
would provide for vacancy if the ap-
pointee of the governor held only I'M
til the legislature met. In the past,
senator's appointed by the governor
have held their offices until the legisla-
lures have appointed their successors.
In one case a senator held throughout
the entire deadlock OF the legislature,
and tried to retain his seat after the
legislature adjourned, but after the
matter was discussed in the senate,
the seat was declared vacant on the
adjournment of the Legislature of the

Peck Has a Champion.

The Bennington Banner thinks Gen
Peck much abused man. This is the
way it talks:
AS matter of fact, there has not been q
public man in Vermont, who was capable
OF representing the state at public functions
with more dignity than Gen. Peck. Pos.
sessing courtly, genial manner, he COM
bines with it fine sense of propriety. III.
sensitive nature and his pride in bis state
would not allow him to do anything in a
nggardly manner when appearing on pub
lie occasions. This reasonable pride has
sometimes, undoubtedly, led him into ex.
penditures that would be deemed extrava.
giant by the strictly practical man. He ha.
been open in all his accounts and there is
no suspicion on the partI of those who
know the man best that public moneys
have been diverted for bis personal uses
lie has always received the sanction of the
governors under whom he has served and
'nls has served as sufficient stamp of ap-
proval. Why not place the blame, if blame
there be, where it properly belorg;P
The reader should underscore the words
"his sensitive nature and bis pride in his
state" What is needed to make this SEN
tence complete is the words "and Gen.
Peck's pride in himself" Was it "his
pride in his state" that led the general to
place picture of himself in the adjutant
and inspector-generals office at the ex-
pense of the statep Was it state pride that
inspired sending out at the public expense
extra copies Of the Army and Navy Jour
nal which contained an article compliment
tary to HIMSELF Was it patriotism that
pulled $40 out Of the state treasury to pay
for box at the Old Guard Ball, from which
resplendent IN military array, the general
and invited friends could witness the fes-
tivitiesp Was it necessary for the dignity
OF the state that he should hire rooms in
bis wife's building in Burlington and ask
the state to pay the rentP Other questions
might be raised, but these are sufficient to
indicate that the dignity of the state needs
to be saved from the zeal Of such champions
as Gen. Peck.
