city, OF which JOHN Il, Oberly ie editor took Int
little part iu the campaign. and Wall was lcfent-
cd BY over 1,500 yoteB. Thus the Opposition
came out of the rnco not only beaten, but badly
demorallzcd. For two years 1t has been very
little intorost shown. But, as the opening Of tue
cas,vnsa approaches, etraws aro visible, and tho
prospect ID fair for lively mud exciting contest.
Thoro seems now but little doubt TINT
CLEMENTS WILL BE REHoM1SArED
by the Republican party although other mon arc
talked Of. There Is considerable dissatisfaction
In tho Republican ranks, aud the Granger eomont
is showing itself horo and there. Opposition to
profeasea politicians aud lawyers, bank aud rail-
road officials, ts froey. Expressed and the dis
cuutentod ones are looking for Moses. Dan
Mum Is tho CHOICE OF q large number Of Ro-
publicans, but will not. It ia snid, be before tho
Convention, AZ ho Inns declared lo will not allow
1t. LinoKar deserves well OF tho party, and Ia
an able man but lie cannot get tho nomina-
ton. Jake Yost, OF metropolis, who was n can-
dldate before the Congressional Convention two
years ago., Is aa!d to bo preparing for another

y. Aeeiy, m o!d-line AbolitlouiRt, has boen
strongly solicited by many soldiers to become
tlolr candidate; and 1t ts reported that he will
be IN tho Held, whether nominated or not. e1-
pccting tho support Of tho sodBtB and tho
arangGrs.
1t will thus DO soon that Clements will have
considerable difficulty In roconciling these fac
tonb, fol there seeins to bo but little doubt Of
hiB nomination..
