withdrew yesterday The contest really lies between the
rst two; II Mr. Youngove's chances were less Mr. Har-
lows and WeedsIwoud be greater but the three are
from the same part Of the State and the probabilities are
that Younglove will be successful, the Clerk will have
60 be taken from another section. Mr. Underwood
has been connected with the Clerks desk in various ca
pactes for eight years. and while 1t brings him sone
strength. there is strong feeling that he has hAd sVO

r,der main strength lies in the fact that lac is second
choice ~ the friends OF the other candidates He has
pora votes tonight than Underwood and he will coneen-
,rate the opposition TO the latter, which makes the
chances better than that of any other candidate There
are other candidates for sergeantatArms from almost
every County State but the canvass for that office
