Marshall, May I'd, Io4S.
MARSHALL, the county seat Of
Saline county, is located in the centre Of large
prairie, near the centre Of the county. II is
small but pleasant town. Our landlord. Mr. Skill
man must say, does up things to please the most
fastidious; his rooms, beds, clean linen, neat and
accommodating servants, make his house deser.
vedly popular. His pure bread, coffee and stakes,
rean taste. And above all his accommodating
lady is loved by all sojourners at his house.
The Wings had large aud enthusiastic meeting
here yesterday, and nominated the indomitable
Wing, Gilmore Hays, for the legislature, and III
W. Huin, for Sheriff. They entertain no doubt of
the success of their candidates. The ''unterrifed
progressives" are to make their nominations on
Monday next. II lis generally supposed that some
one of the pilI-box aristocracy will receive the
nomination for the Legislature. IF not Mr.. BiDg-
hams late competitor, it will be the old bell-weath-
er, (the late aspirant for Governor) or some other
Of the family. Mr.. Bingham declined running
again this year and is devoting himself exclusively
to bis profession, in which he is eminently dis
tinguishsd. Hays is destined 20 beat any of the
pi.boxe so far that they will not attempt to
GUST him out Of his seat as they did Bingham.
