Democrats Hopeful.
Special to the Sentinel.
Washington, Jan. 17.—The Journal correspondent is altogether too previous in stating in his Sunday special that the Democrats here have given up the struggle as to Senator. The Democrats here have always been hopeful. They have ever been conscious of the right, and never doubted, if the will of the people was carried out, a Democrat will be selected to succeed Ben Harrison. But the rascality and evident intent of the Republican gang to steal the Senatorial seat outright, and the willingness of a partisan Senate here to sanction and confirm the rape of the State, has, of course, given the Democrats here some anxiety; but to-day's news from Indiana—the decision of Judge Ayers—has stimulated the Democratic heart and correspondingly depressed the conspirators here.
