The Legislature TO be elected tomorrow will be
charged with the duty OF electing a successor to
United States Senator Waitman T Wiley whose
term expires on the Attn OF March, 1871.
There can be but little doubt Of the success OF the
Republican ticket TO morrow and the election OF a
majority OF Republicans TO both branches OF the
Legislature. The success of the Republican candi-
dates in the Second and Third Congressional dis
tricts is also assured although the Democrats have
hopes OF carrying the First district. They have
crippled their chances to carry this district, how
ever, by nominating an unpopular man OF the Val
lanalgham school. The Democratic platform is Of
the oldLashioned Sort and joins issue on all the
dead questions.
