Carpenter, of Wisconsin, John A. Logan, of Illinois, Joshua Hill, of Georgia, and Allan G. Thurman, of Ohio. William E. Stevens, editor of the Monitor, took up the discussion, stating the argimients in favor of and against the position taken by Senator Wadleigh, and came to the conclusion that it was the right and duty of the legislature convening in June, 1878, to elect Senator Wadleigh's successor. In addition to the legal argument made in favor of this course, a political reason was urged in... its favor. The spring election of 1878 had been very close. The Republi- cans had elected their governor and a majority of the legislature. There was a possibility that the Demo- crats might carry the State in the fall election. It could do no harm for the Republicans to elect a Sen- ator by the legislature convening in June, 1878, even if the action of that body had to be ratified by the legislature to be elected in I^ovember, 1878. The Democrats generally took the view of Wadleigh, as, with the postponement of the election to the legislature organized in June, 1879, they had another opportunity to carry the State and win the Senatorial prize.
