WHO WILL BE OUR NEXT UNITED
STATES SENATORP

- L." .
Although over . fear Is yet to elapse
before the peopte will vote-nominally
-on this question, L may not be uuin-
,eresting at This time to glance at the
" prospects y in an amiable manner, and
without desiring or intending to disturb
auy-combinftioas that may be in pro-
gress toward the personal advancement
Of this or that candidate.
Il is well understood that there will
be ak, seven or eight candidates in the
fisld,'a year hsuce thoughi,i is probable
that there will not be more than four
candidates at the opening of the Legis-
laturs. Stssar De Long aud Blasdel,
will undoubtedly be in the canvass be-
fore the Legislature, Ashley aud Fitch,
will probably start out in the preliminary
canvass as candidates for United States
SENATOR, WITH the purpose Of having a
fall OF Congress, at the State Conven-
ton. Stewart may assume to be the
genuine simou-puro Radical candidate,
and so entitled to the support of those
Republicans to whom he was most OPP
posed a short time since. However, if
Congress do no. pass an Impartial,
Manhood suffrage BILL" William will,
very likely, take soundings on his ALL
creation brotherhood line, and mako to-
wards q white beach as rapidly as pos
sible,, White he is Immediately in sight
Of the Legislative wreckers.
De Long claims to have a strong SEN
atorial hold-over force; claiming, we are
told, Senators Mason, Monroe, Carpen-
ter, Gray, and others. De Long will
undoubtedly make an earnest fight to
carry this county, aud if he should do
so be would not have so formidable an
antagonist in Stewart as be had in Nye.
While the contes, IA going on at
Carson, during the FIRST weeks Of last
January, Gov. Blasdel was won to
NEE, members aud.inquire into the con
di,ion of the fgh,;.aud then, while drum
miug on his breast as DuChaillu de-
scribes the habit of gorillas-hs would
suggest: "well, if yon can't do any
better, pick up q scrub like me-" Now,
under certain circumstances, Blasdel
is not such q scrub" OF u candidate
that he may be contemptuously regard
ed BY rivals for a seat in the United
States Senate. He has a great deal of
low cunning, and be q tell the truth, in
his style, as often as often, as be thinks
a poiu, is to be made by it.sNow then, II
you have u surplus OF from q quarter to
a half million Of dollars in the State
Treasury, through the enforcement of
the niue tax, you will be very apt
TO have H. G.. Blasdel for a successor to
wm. N. Stewart, in the United States
Senate. This is prophecy not to be
sneered at by those who know the per-
son, and who have witnessed former
Senatorial elections. Blasdel could
make that entire surplus tributary TO
hi, success, in various ways; we say he
could, because we have been told that
he will-if be gets it. As Governor Of
the State his plans will be laid out for a
Capitol at Carson, and a Capitol ssAus-
tin; for appropriations for the Dutch
Flat Railroad, and for Branch Rail-
roads, and for other classes of i'm
provemsnts-graduated in bids for
contracts, ETC., to the temper and dis
position ofcommunitiss andindividuals
BE can and will promise as to bills to
be recommended, aud Of passed) APP
proved, to carry out agreements on this
legitimate canvass! OF course he would
no, offer any money for a vote. We do
not speak Of that just now But you
give Blasdel so much as 3 or 4 hundred
thousand dollars in the State Treasury
TO be'so far subject to his order as he
is q two months Governor, after Sena-
torial election, and-he will be the next
United States Senator.
