announced in my last letter, that Wm. C. Grain,
OF ilerkimer, would probably be elected to the
Speakers Chair in the House You will recolicct
that John A. Dix was elected u. s. Senator over
Henry A. Foster, in legislative caucus las, sessio
and Mr. Grain was uncompromisng in his oppo-
slton to Mr.. Foster. BY way of retaliation, Mr.
Foster swears that Grain shall not occupy the
Speakers Chair, and he is exerting himself to de-
feat Grains election. This is small business, but
the opinion Is hazarded that Foster can and will
prevent his occupation OF the Chair. The attempts
which have been made to get the I" Bridge bill''
through the Legislature for some two or three years
past will be resumed this session with the most de-
t.rinlned energy. new issue will be brought 10
bear upon this question, and an effort will be made
to carry II through, at all hazards. The dtOany
atlas Is announced as the official organ OF the ad
iniastratlon.
