In this list there are twelve Republi-
cans, three independents, and two
Democrats.
In New York the prominent candi-
dates are Francis Kiernan, Henry C.
Murphy, and Charles Wheaton. In
Delaware Thomas f. Baysrd has no
competitor. In Florida Acting Govern
or Stearns is the Republican candidate
and Niblack BloXham and Dyke, ST.,
the Democratic. Indiana has,t to decide
between Joseph E. M'Donald and Will
liam s. Holman. HamIin is the only
candidate in Maine. In Massachusetts
Ex-Governor Bullock, Senator WASH
burn, and Ex-Governor Claf1in are men,
toned. The Democrats will probably
vote for Judge Josiah G. Abbott, but
they are ready to unite with the Inde-
pendent Republicans on Charles Francis
Adams or General Banks if such prop
osition should be made to them. Mich
igan has several candidates, prominent
among them Senator Chandler, Judge
James V. Chamberlain, and G.. Webster
Childs. Senator Ramsey and Governor
Davis are the candidates in Min
nesota. Ex-Governor G. G.. Wash
borne and Senator Matt. Carnenter
are the candidates in WiscOn-
sin. In Pennsylvania an earnest can
vsss has been in progress since NOvem-
Der, between William A. Wallace and
Ex-senator Buckalew, for the Demo.
cratic caucus nomination for senator
from Pennsylvania, which will be equiv
alent to an election. Personalities have
embittered the friends of the parties,
and it may be that for the sake of har-
mOny third man will be selected In
that case the eminent statesman, Jere-
mIah s. Black, may receive the nOmi-
nation. In Nebraska, until recently, it
was supposed that General James NJ.
Thayer, the predecessor OF General
Hitchcock, had the inside track with the
Republican majority. But his claims
are now disputed by United-States-Dis
trict-Judge E. S. Dundy and Ex-Gover-
nor A. s. Paddock, and the result rnay
be said to be doubtful. There are other
candidates of less fame hOvtring around
the triangular fight, and trusting to a
Kilkenny-cat ending Of it, that will ad-
vance their chances. The Democracy
will probably support DR.. Miller, of the
Omaha Herald, one Of the soundest and
most sagacious Democrats in the north
west. Little Rhode Island is still bal
loting. 1t will be remembered that an
unsuccessful attempt was made in the
legislature elected last spring, to choose
a senator to succeed Mr.. Sprague. The
principal contestants were General
Burnside and Nathan F. Dixon; and
when the Legislature resumes ballOting
this week, it is probable that the same
names will be presented. The Republic
can majority on joint ballot is sixty
two. Ex-Governor James M.
Smith and Governor Howard are
willing to sacrifice themselves If the
legislature cannot choose between Burn
side and Dixon. In Missouri the Candi-
dates are legion, but among the strong
est are Ex-Governor Thomas c. Rey-
nOids, one of the most accomplished
men in the republic; Ex-Governor B.
Gratz Brown, General Frank NJ. Cooke
rill, popular officer of the late Confed-
crate army; Ex-COngressman John s.
Phelps, General George G. Vest, Still
son Hutchins, editor OF the st. Louis
Dispatch; Joseph Brown, mayor Of st.
Louis; and Thomas Allen, the wealthy
railroad manager. 1t is impossible to
make any predictions concerning the
result. The candidates have opened
quarters in Jefferson City, and the elec-
tioneering is lively. 1t has been stated
that many of Senator Schurz's Demo-
cratic colleagues in the senate would be
glad 10 have him reelected, and have
so expressed themselves in writing, but
the fact that the senator stumped Mis-
souri, vigorously in opposition to the
Democratic State and congressional
ticket last fall, would seem to justify the
Democrats in the Legislature, if party
usage is 10 be respected, in excluding his
claims from consideration. Still, II he
should be selected as 8 compromise, the
news would be received without dissst.
isfscton by the Democrats of the
Union who appreciate his patriotism,
unsullled character, and great abilities.
Balloting Is still in progress. New
Jersey will, on the twenty sixth, decide
between Senator stocKtOd, Ex-Governor
Randolph and Attorney General Gill
christ. And on the same day West Vir-
ginia will decide among a number Of
