Spectal Diapateh to TAL Chicagn Triduns, Corususus, 0., Jun. 10.—The question which hus o loug occupled the public tind, as to whal man -should fill the place made vacant when Senator Matthews' time cxpired, has at last been settled, and the Hon. George H. Fen- plcton, of Clucinnati, has been cbosen. The subject has beon the theme of vonversation in city, town, and hamlet since the late Ovtober election, when the Democrats obtained control of tho Btate, Mr. Peudleton had to contend with two men of wmore than ordinary popularity from the start—Gen. Ewing, a man uf (nfatlon {deas, and Gen, George W. Morgan, who was alsvan auti-resumptionist, but not an extremist to the extent that Ewing was. TEN DAYS AUO it was most generally conceded that Pendleton and Ewing wers about even, with a possibility of the former leading on the first ballut. Ewing counted his followers who could be relied on at thirty, while Gen, Morgan was credited with a followlng of abount twety. Of late a new lot of candidates came fo the ficld,~Hurd of To- ledo and Payne of Cieveland, The ballots show how weak was thelr strength. During the past week all of the candidates bave Lecn In the city, with large lobbles working for thelr intcrests. UP TO LAST NionT there were few who did not concede that Pendle- ton would have a tight fignt {f he woo the lionors. Yesterday, however, A most seurriluus attack was made upon Pendleton In the shape of ncircutar. At first It created confusion, but last night his fricuds had recovered, and it was found that, instead of causinza bresk in the ranks, It had“onlv served to strengthen them by adding men who were before doubtful es to whoin they would support. Pendleton gained during the day from_this causc alone, It was openly charged that Ewlug or his backers were at the bottom of the onslaught, TUE EFPECT was that many of Ewlug’s men descrted him. He fell oft- at igast ten on the firat ballot from the number couccded bim by the other candi- dates During thae balloting Me. Pendleton rematned at hisroom_at the Neil House, while Gen. Ewing and .\luvgnn vccupled quarters {n the State-flouse. The caucuswas held In secret seasion, not a reporter being able to galn admis- slon. Not even the clerks of the Senate were allowed admlission. At tho close of the second ballot the Ewing men moved for an adjourn- anenl, but this was most cmphatically voted 0w, DURING TUE BALLOTING the halls and corridors were densely packed. At an carly hour this morning o very powerful delegation arrived from Clocinuatl” and reln- foreed the nimost worn-out defenders of Pene dleton. _They worked Hko troopers durlug the day, and the tight hasbeen an extremely bitter one during the past twenty-four hours. After the third ballot was announced—that Pendleton was alected—thiore was o rush for his lotel, where he was warmly congratulated. A specch was callcd for, when the whole bedy adjourned to the holl of the liouse of Roprescutatives, where ¢ srEECUES were delivered by Measrs. Pendleton, Ewing, and Morgan, _MF, Pendleton thanked all that hiad supported bim i this coutest.
