THE sPRAKTRSInP.
There can be no well advised opinion expressed
as 30 the contest for Speaker. The friends of
Mr. Grow are quite sanguine Of his election, but
as a counterpoise to this, the adherents Of Col.
Blair are equally sure of bis success. Mean
while Mr. COlfax has been brought forward by
bis friends, and is supposed to be the second
choice of many who will give their first vote for
Messrs. Grow and Blair. Each one Of the cam
didateS is confidently counting on identical votes
which have been, perhaps, promised to the three.
THE CLERKsHIP.
II is but fair to Mr.. Etheridge to state that,
while be acknowledges to have informed Colonel
Forney that he was not candidate for the
Clerkship, On the day Immediately following he
withdrew bis declaration, and informed him that
ne was in the hands of bis frenda. Those friends
feel confident of their ability TO elect him, but
Colonel Forney's supporters are, perhaps, equally
saDguine.
