SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.


From the Chicago Record
From one point of view such scenes

the true nature Of the influences which
are frequently permitted TO determine
the character Of a states representation
in the national senate
In not one az these three states has
the struggle over the senatorship arisen

would best represent the state. In not a
single instance has there been a result
which by any construction could be in
fernreted as the fulfnmeut Of public
