NwE York, Aug. 3l.-A telegram to
the Herald from Washington reports that
Hon. Jas. F. Wilson, who arrived in
that city yesterday, states that VIM. B.
Allison is almost sure of being elected
United States Senator from Iowa. The
letter to DR.. Newman, Methodist cler-
gyman, and another which he was known
TO have written, but was suppre SEED, did
Harlan serious injury with the people.
Mr.. Wilson thinks the absence of SO many
| officials from the seat of government is
| having serious effect on the party,
though he is of the opinion that Grant
will be renominated and reelected.
