next United States Senator will be decided in

made to keep the matter out. Both Vallan-
dlgham and Thurman are confident of success
Tblrty-elght votes necessary to choice,
and Vallandgham claims to have thirty-three
already pledged in his favor On the other
hand the Thurman men assert that their can
didate will be elected two to one. From pres
emit indications it is clear that Thurman is
largely ahead and Vallandigham will be de-
feated beg ond doubt. There is no truth in
the rumors regarding Mr.. Pendleton or any
other man coming in as third candidate. The
convention will go as unit for Pendleton as
Presidential candidate.
