We clip the following from the Washing
ton correspondence of the Hartford Evenin9
Press:
Messrs Stanton and Parrot will leave at
once for Kansas, to enter the canvass for
the U. U. Scholarships. The Legislature is
already elected. but the multiplicity of can
didates prevents anything like good guess
at the probable result. The two gentlemen
named above live in different parts of the
State, and their claims in no wise conflict.
Gen. Lane is the most formidable opponent
to Gov. Stanton. The sympathies of the
Republicans here are strongly enlisted in
favor of Stanton. His untiring rxertiOns for
the success of the Republican cause last
spring in Connecticut, and during the fall
campaign in other States, place him among
the most prominent of those who deserve TO
be remembered in the hour of party triumph.
His recognized qualifications for the Senate
will, in addition to the generous eelf-sacri
ficing service he rendered the cause of JUS
tice and right in the darkest hour of the
existence of the Territory, strongly recon
mend him to the suffrages of the Legisla-
ture. think it will be safe to count upon
his being one of the two that will be sue
cessful
