Thomas daley, railroad contractor, led
Tuesday nights attack upon the Baron.
Later accounts say that the di,tur-

right OF free speech. Under the Cncr-
gctic action of the Mayor and City C"un-

lecture without molr-tation. The rx-
element has been HIGH in O4drmsburg,
and the course of Jude James in rrlus-

the citizens. The O5dcnSburg journal
adds: There Is Il profound and deep

assembly and free speech has in some

Elections Of UHitcd States ScHd-
TORS

As about onc-half OF The States now
choose their Legislatures bicnnallv, and
the number seems 10 he on the increase,
considerable attention has already been
directed to the class of United States Sen
ators whose terms expire in 1878. 1t
embraces twcnty-iour, as follows: Spen-
Ger OF Alabama, Rice of Arkansas, Cole
of California, Ferry of Connecticut, Os-
born of Florida, Hill of Georgia, Trum-
bull of Illinois, Morton of Indiana, llar-
Ian of Iowa, Pomcroy OF Kansas, Davis
of kentucky, Kellogg Of Louisiana, Wick

of Nevada, Patterson of New Hampshire,
Conkling of New York, Pool Of North
Carolina, Sherman of Ohio, Corhctt OF
Oregon, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Saw
yer Of South Carolina, Morrill, of Yer
mont, and Howe Of Wisconsin.
1t will be seen that this list comprise.
some of the strongest members Of the Sen
ate, like Trumbull, Morton and Sherman,
with others whose disappearance from
the Senate would be felt, like Morrill, OF
Vermont, Patterson of New Hampshire,
Conkling, Blair, Cameron and, last but
not least, Garrett Davis. All of the out
going Senators are Republicans except
Davis, Nickcrs and Blair. In their sac
ccssors the Republicans cannot hope 10
maintain the same proporlionatc strength.
We have not the least doubt that Mr..
Patterson or some other equally good Re

array of Republican Senators from New
