There being no choice on the first ballot, it was
voted to proceed to a second. The second ballot
was precisely the same as the first, with the eX-
ception OF change OF one from HOar to Adams
At this juncture OF the proceedings there was much
excitement, but when it was found that both bal
lots were indecisve deep sigh OF regret came
from the multitude. 1t was generally expected
that great change would occur in the total of the
second ballot The Dawes men were jubilant to
see that they were In the ascendency, while the
other factions were equally jubilant to know that
they were holding their own so firmly. Alter this
the Convention adjourned until tomorrow at
noon, when they will again endeavor to select some
one Of the many candidates.
THE GENERAL INTERCHANGE OF VIEWS
has since been INDUCED in at the hotels; there
has been great deal said regarding the
supposed presence OF Sergeantat-Arms Ordway
from Washington, together with William Chandler
and E. II. Rollins, to participate in this most ex-
citing contest am credibly informed, however,
that the presence of Ordway and Chandler in
Boston on Tuesday was of entirely private
nature; while Mr.. Rollins has assured me that he
has taken no part whatever in this contest, and
has remained silent spectator through the
newspapers. The Observation-Disclosures are never
theless strongly represented here in the interest
OF Dawes and Hoar. Tonight there is intense
excitement. The friends OF all the candidates are
in council. The fremont House is the scene OF
a Dawes meeting, led by Nathaniel Mckay.
OF New York, VINO seems to be the organizer of the
Dawes men, and euogistic speeches are peing
made upon the merits of this candidate. The
other hatels are also the of earnest discus
sion. The three days. balloting has clearly dem
onstrated that the Dawes, Hoar and Curtis men
are determined to stand by their respective cand-
dates. The Dawes men seem to be gaining ground
but it looks to be mpossibility elect their can
didate unless the HOar men yield or break but
should such be the case, the democrats will at
once spring to the assistance of n p. Banks when
in all probability, it would secure the election for
Banks. The general feeling is that II 1t comes to a
compromise candidate General Banks IS
the man most fitted for the Senatorship.
That he is destined to be strong
man before the Convention is hourly developing
itself among the democrats. They emphatically
state that he would be the most acceptable man
to them, ana they are now DESTROYS to lead or
with Banks.
To-mOrrow's proceedings at the State House
will be more exciting and interesting than those
OF the past three days, as members from distant
sections OF the State say they Will not go home on
test may be looked upon to settle the
SenatOrship not only for the UneXpred term of
Mr.. sumner but most COncusively the long term

The Senatorial contest IN the legislative AS

all-absorbing topic of discussion. Ever since the
first days proceedings toward balloting for sue
cessOr to Charles Sumner the excitement has been

indecisive, many have been the surmises as to the

but from all sections OF the State could
be seen vending their way toward the State House.
and at the different hotels lobbying and button

considerable degree. The ballots Of Tuesday and
Wednesday gave eack faction an opportunity to
know how every member stood in the contest and
