THE KEBKASKA SENATOR.
Burlington Hawkeye : Tbe r
riult of the Senatorial contest :
Nebrr.c5ia , in the election of e :
Uo\crnor Saunders , is highly gra
fying to the Republicans of low
where he so long resided and is
well and favorably known. Go
Saunders came to Iowa ( then MIc
Igan territory ) from Sangami
county , Illinois , m the fall ot 18J
aud located at lit. Pleasant. Hi
liugton was the nearest posloffi
for nearly two years. Finally i
office was opened at lit. Pleasai
aud he was appointed postmaster
President Jackson. He held \
rious other offices of trust duri ;
our territorial existence , and wai
member of the convention whi
framed our first State constituti
in 1816. He represented Hen
county in the senate at the seasi
185i-5 , when the Hon. Jamea Jb
lm was first elected to the Unit
States fcpuate. The succets of t
latter at the time was ereatly due
' the earnest efforts of the Hen
r'S county delegation. He was a de
nate to the first Republican StJ
o Convention ii Iowa , that met
F. Iowa City the22d diy of Februai
F.to 1856 , and took an active part in :
tor curing the adoption of the platfor

G changed , and under which the p ;
at ty triumphed in twenty-one si

As a delegate to the Republic

in an original " Lincoln man-
inof did excellent service in aiding

the campaign was not an Idle sr >

his place as Senator from Het
Itt county and was appointed by Prt
t- dent Lincoln governor of tbe tei
t1 - tory of Nebraska , which office
held until Nebraska was admitl
in
as a state. His administrati

ct A WISE CHANGE.
a- Chicago Tribune : The LRis
turc of Nebraska has possibly dc
a wise thing in making a change
its Senatorial representation. G <
Saunders , who has been elected , is
a man of ability and a man of hon
orable standing aud character.
Senator Hitchcock faUed to satisfy
the people of Nebraska. His six
years of service failed to com
mend him to the favor of
any considerable portion of his con
stituents The attempt to re-elect
him divided tbe party In the Ktate :
An instruction to the candidates for
the Legislature to vote for him cost
the Republicans the whole delegai
tion from Douglas County ( Omaha )
to the Legislature. In the division
of the party produced by the at
tempt to force hia re election , Mr.
Hitchcock was set aside aud another
Republican was elected. Nebras
ka and the Senate will lose nothing
by the change. In Massachusetts ,
the Hon. George F. Hoar has been
elected to succeed Mr. 9outwelland
the change is a fortunate one. Mr.
Boutwell has been a failure , not be
cause of any personal fault , but be
cause of an inability on his part to
meet the requirements of the situa
tions he has occupied. He has been
probably the weakest and shallowest
person who has represented Massa
chusetts in the Senate since the or
ganization of the government in
1769. Massachusetts can well spare
him. Mr. Hoar is not a great man ,
but he is superior to Boutwell. If
he has deficiencea , ho will not pub
licly advertise them , as his pre
decessor always did. He la a man
of fair ability , of high personal
character , and will not be likely to
pretend to be anything more than
he is. The Republicans have been
fortunate in their choice of Senators ;
have shown wisdom and pound pol
icy in re-electing the e who are
cieditable to the State and the Sen
ate , like Ferry and Wiiidom , and in
making changes , as in Nebraska
and Massachusetts.
