terests OF the State.
Reporter.-You say the Legislature is
strongly Republican. Who is the COM
ing man for United States Senator?
Mr.. Kendall.-The Lord knows! That
neither was nor is any fight or funeral of
mine. But could easily name several
political corpses that most assuredly will
not be, and they may attribute the fact to
their own want of common sense and
common honesty, and to your humble
servant.

upon the news and gossip Of the city,
which Mr.. Kendall entered into with the
interest of an old habitue, our reporter
