THE SENATORIAL CANDIDATES.
rival candidates arc mostly on hand
and g. coming Of their followers is like the
gait Of the clans. Richardson, Goudv.
er; oMslssnes'; M ;issn $ $ Marshall and
and Herald, Of this city, purportlng to have
been written in Chicago, declares that the tai
ents OF Richardson, Marshall and Goudy
eliminated some time since: but that those
OF hon. b. y. Edwards are still on the asccn-
dening side Of the hill Of life. Old Ben, if he
Keeps going up much higher With excelsior rs
his motto, will, by-and-byo, be able to look at
the sun without winking. This is certainly a
great countryl Marshau's friends now assert
that his reported dcclination is trick of the
Richardson faction, They claim that he is
still in the field. Hon. VIM. G. Goudy of
your city and Judge o'Melvcney, gentleman
OF Irish descent, of the Southern part of the
State, are the strongest opponents Of Richard
son and Marshall. If these four candidates
Ill present their names there may be no
choice on the first ballot, and, In that case.
Richaldson's and Marshall's chances are much
lessened. Dick claims forty two votes sure,
Goudy's friends claim twenty or SO for him
on tue start, while the man with the Irish
name from the Southern part OF the State
claims to be the choice Of Egypt, and Egypt
claims that as she elected Tie LegfslatIure
shc has right to the United States Senator
and minority Of the officers Of the Leefsla-
turc Egypt appears to be modest, Us usual.

about such matters, has Dick Richardson in

Jim Allen, lately elected to Congress at LARGE,
also goes for Dick. Thus, If SAM BucSmastsr'

The attacks Of the leading Democratic
papers IN the State upon New England, and
the openly, expressed intention Of those

England are having rerJ bad effect. The
