law of Senator Chandler. Clifford, Liber-
al, will probably be elected in the Portland
district.

the Greeley party in October by 5000 ma
iority, and double that numder in Noyem-
Der. He says there is slight disafection
in the Democratic party, headed by Jason
B. Brown, which is believed to be the re-
