AVashinoto*, December 4.—Tho omens
of Republican Senators met promptly at IS
o’cIock, Senator Sherman in the chair, and
proceeded at onco to consider the question
of the election of a President pro tempore
of the Senate, made nooeseary by the death
of the Vice-President of the United States.
Senator Edmunds stated that when in the
summer of 1881 the Republicans of the na
tion in their convention nominated Oeneral
T OR an for Vice-President, he (Edmunds)
ln’d thought it right toward General Logan
and toward the party that ho should retire
from tho presidency of the Senate, and
that General Logan should be
chosen in his place, and as they
all remembered ho had communicated that
o tl i u i 0 n and desire to Republican Senators
in a formal way, but it was thought at that
time best that a change bo not made, espe
cially oa Gen - Lo " ftn did not wisb il t0 be
made At tholnstpresidentalelection.Gen.
Logan had, he believed, tho votce of all
Republican* who had an opportunity to
otc and came very near being the choice
of the people for the office of Vice-President,
which would have mado him ex-officio Presi-
lentof the Senate, and under the law
charged "> th tho duty ot . carrying
on the government in case
of any disability of the President of
the United States until an election could
be had. In this state of things, he thought it
right the Republican Senators should re-
"” w that expression of confidence in Gen.
Tjocma by nominating him for President of
the Sentoe, and he accordingly moved that
Gen Logan be so nominated by acclama
tion! Severs! Senators spoke briefly in
favor of tbe nomination, and the question
was taken and agreed to unanimously.
The chairman announced tbe unanimons
nomination of John A. Logan as the Re
publican candidate for President pro tem
Ltre of tbe Senate. Gen. Logan arose and
*aid:

Babnesvillk, December 4.—This morn

The Thomaston train, Engineer Hooker at

zation, which it says would fr • the Con
servative party from the preeetus of tho
Parnellito demands and give the Idbcaols
their proper influence iu the mamig- iuent
of British affairs. The fact that tin-Spec
tator is frequently inspired by Gladstone,
and that in this instance itim.i.N us a con
dition of the proposed allianeo that Lord
Salisbury shall first lftoc!. the l’ar-
nellitcs with a positive and direct refusal
of conlilion, would indicate that
tho primary aim of Gladstone nnd the
Tory premier just now is to found in
British polities un element which shall
always be ablo to placo imperial allairs be
yond tho dictation of Irish politicians.
Both may calculate that such an alliance as
is proposed between them will liave
tho ultimnto effect of render
ing impossible tho effectiveness
of such a disturbing and tremendous or
ganization os Parnell hois succeeded in cre
ating nnd operating.
Iu tho Cons rvutivo party. Lord Ran
dolph Churchill leads tlie element which
favors meeting Parnell's demands for a
broad measure of local self-government for
Ireland in return for tho sup
port of the Nationalists on
Tory meaures concerning local
a ion in England, law reforms aud for
eign policy. The lnorepowerfnl among tho
Conservative politicians on the other hand,
and the most inllaentiai element in tho
Conservative party are strongly opposed to
forming any coalition with ParnelL They
prefer arranging with Gladstone for
united opposition to tho league's demands.
They evuundrocuto thnt no matter how the
eleetion may result, Salisbury shall remain
in office, open Parliament and challenge a
vote of confidence. It is reporiesl that
the Premier himself favors this latter lino
of conduct. He has been warned liy his
most valued supporters that any attempt on
his part to nrr.mge a compart with Purnell
will lead to the immediutj secession
from his (Salisbury's) party of a largo
body of Tories who will go to Gladstone’s
opposition. From idl this it is easy to see
the course of English opinim. to-night is to
the effect thnt whatever political denis may
he mado in ths immediate future, tlie new
British Parliament will hardly last twelve
mouths. Its dtaiolution is considered
probable evon during tho present
session. A majority of the interests of
Great Britain are in tho hands of the Con
servatives nnd a majority of Britb li busi
nessmen distrust Gladstone,, because they
regard his foreign policy a* too philan
thropic and not sufficiently hard-headed.
An umlonbted increase of activity in Eng
lish tr.vlo followed the restoration
of tho Tories to power. This a itivity
increased with the Tory prospects
and is now declining with them. At pres
ent tho Conservatives havo becumo fearful
of Gladstone’s return to power, and in i-
mato that it will bo followed by politiciu
chaos. This fear is beginning to paralyzo
business, particularly on the Stock Ex
change. At tho opening of tho
campaign, when the Conservative
rauue ~ looked so hopeful, British
consols and all foreign securities

company with the Tories. At tlie tnuo
wilting, the Liberals have elected alii, the
Conservatives 213 and the Puruelliles 70.
While Gladstone has, therefore, 70 ma
jority over the Tories, they and the Horn.-
Rolen tie Mm. Never before to English
history wai the political situation jtiat like
this. There are clearly four distinct and
distinctive parties. Tbe Radical*
and Liberals are nominally united,
anil so ore tbe Tories and Hume
Rulers. Tlie latter alliance is unnatural
and unreliable, while the former, allhounb
unreliable, ia natnral. The Radicals claim
the credit of the Liberal aucceea among the
new voters, and the Liberals claim it
among the old. The Conservatives are to
a hopeless minority without tha solid Par-
nell tote, and would bo.hftlplea* with it
against s Radical ainl Liberal vote com
blued. On tbe other hand tho PumelliL.
could always depend on a large Radical vote
on any fair Parliamentary measure
iu the interest of Ireland. F'rou
thia it is plain that If the Toric..
should retain power they could never be
certain ot their ability to paa* any measure,
even with the Irish vote, and could never
lie sure of commanding that. Such a gov-
i-nnent would only be impotent and ridicu
lous. If tho Liberal* should assume power,
they could never count on tho whole Rad
ical vote, sml consequently would be with
out ability to command a majority for any o(
their government measures. Tho Radicals
might affiliate with the l’arnellitee. but if
they should rto »o tbe Liberals and Conierv-
recorded to English history. Since the Iu-
rul vote has diminished the Tory pr- specie,
the English market has become tev, ri»li and
unsettled, and operators havo become
distrustful. It is announced to
night that if Parnell hi:.41 find
himself unuble to attend the coming Chi-
igo convention, he will send u deputa
tion to represent hitu, consisting probably
of Healy, Sexton and Thos. Power O'Con
ncr. The Pope has written * letter to th
Catholic Bishops of England, approving of
their opposition to the Radical scheme of
free education.

London, December 8.—The lateet returns
show that 313 Liberals, 243 Tories and 70
Puroelliti i lmvo been elected. The con
stituencies yet ubpollcd number 4-7. Of
these 22 an- English, 1 is Welsh, -1 are
Scotch and 17 Irish. A careful estimate of
the probable results in t!e> unpolled dis
trict* by tlm FR'-'* Association allows that
the House of Commons will almost certain
ly bo composed of 331 Liberals, 275 Tories
and 84 Parnellites.

ativee would assuredly combine against
them. The situation is one of unparalleled
perplexity. It shows that the people of
Great Britan are clearly divided into four
parties, no two of which is analogous. It
makes the prospective British government
depend on party deals. It dctuoiurtratca
that there ia at present no uiaiority in
Great Britain for any defined policy.
Neither tho Liberal nor Tory party
con, it would appear, take
the government without a compact to ally
itself with the other on all KnglUh mcae-
ure* against ono branch of iu own organi
zation, the Liberal party to act with the
Tories against the Radicals and the Con
servative party to act wito the Liberals
against the Irish.
A week ago tlio Conservative* were so
certain of retaining power thnt a cabinet
council w as called to meet next Monday to
arrange a government programme. To
day the situation is so changed that the
council has la-eu postponed for a week, to
order to sec the final outcome of the elec
tions, before taking any action
looking toward either the retention
or surrender of power. It ie plain Lord
Sxltabnrv is now disincline 1 to remain in
office without the necessary support to
c irry on the government. The Liberals are
divided in .-pinion aa to whether tl- .
