EASTERN DISPATCHES.

CHICAGO, January S.
\ st. Louis dispatch to the Anzeger dss
Westerns, saws general caucus of the Leg
i,ltture was held on Saturday night to en-
able Carl Schurz, Ben Loan, candidates for
the Senatorship, to define their position.
General Loan, being uuwe!l, was not pres
ent. The caucus turned out to be mass
meeting, largely attended by citizens, as well
as members Of the Legislature. Schurz de-
fined his position on the suffrage and amnes-
~ questions. In the course Of his remarks
he severely criticised Henderson and Drake,
aud concluded by abiding to his worldwide
reputation. He said that the attention Of
Europe was directed to this contest, and he
be lievec that his election would encourage
immigration to this country.
Drake aud Henderson replied-the former
bitterly and the latter in ridicule. The ad-
vacates Of General Loan are still noisily
boas,ing Of their strength and claiming that
tiTe majority are pledged to him. There is a
call for caucus tonight, at which both
Loan and Schurz are invited to speak. Ii has
already received the signatures Of majority
of the members. Henderson is reported as
having said he would give more for his
chances now than when first elected, when
the entire press of the State opposed him.
The Democratic strength in joint ballot will
he 81, in case all the members are adm tilted.
In the present Senatorial contest they will
stand aloof from all combination and radical
f.c:ions affecting the result.
