ED1roR DEMOCRAT The steamers OF FRI
day, Saturday and Monday night brought to
this city, some fifty members Of the Legisla-
ture. The different candidates for Senatorial
honors here, among whom are Denver VINO

On Saturday, Col. Tom Hays, of San Fran
CISCO bet 81, 600 on Denver against the field.
Since that time several Members have avowed
their preference, who previously would not
commit themselves. 1t is supposed they were
waiting some indication of who was the
strongest man, that they might be on the
winning side, for it is almost reduced to a
certainty, that "Uncle Johnny" being now
in the hands of the Politicians, will be by
them devoured. The fight is reduced to
Denver. Weller aud Inge who may possibly
be the compromise candidate.
The election of Moore as Speaker took the
friends of Weller by surprise. lie being
Weller man, and very popular as a Speaker,
the friends of Weller wished, and worked to
have a showing of hands, Senatorial in the
organization of the House, and claimed
Moore's strength as his strength. The oppo-
siton kept their own counsel, and when the
time came elected Moore unanimously. This
move left "Uncle Johnny" and his friends,
more in the dark than ever.
The Yuba county delegation not acting as
a unit upon all matters has been very disas-
trous to Lloyd Mgaruder, who was candidate
for ergeant-at-Arms, of the Senate. For
several days past, many prominent citizens
have been here advocating his claims, among
whom were Judge Lindley, Recorder Wick
ersham, Col. Hatch and Sheriff Hall. The
vote in caucus stood, Bell l6, NIagruder 5,
the rest scattering. There is much regret
expressed at Magruder's defeat, as he is a
very worthy gentleman. His untiring exer-
tons in behalf of Democratic principles for a
series of years past, certainly entitled him to
something from the hands of those he has
done SO much for; but Lloyd Democracies
are ungrateful.
The Anti-Lecomptonites will act with the
Administration in the election of officers. They
did not offer themselves at the caucus, and
were not invited. They will be given
part in committees, and kind feeling seems to
exist between the factions 1t appears to be
the general opinion that there will be but one
State Convention.
Both Houses seems determined to go to
work in earnest, at FIVE minutes past l this
they were in full blast. There will
be nothing done in the Senatorial matter un.
til after the Inauguration. JEFF.
