DETROIT, Dec. 23.-The Senatorial contest in
this State has been carried very quietly. considering
the situation Of aGars. and II ia only recently that
may be said 10 have assumed thing Ike the activity
Of tho last contest in which Mr. Chandler was
asprsnt.
TIE Granger elsment-a factor In che Doll
tics OF Michigan in other stateshas lately been
disposed to assert its claim for recognition and may
fairly DO said that 10 this State 1t holds the balance Of
power. and III tsw, determine who shall be the
successor of Zacharah Chandler for six years after
4h Of March nexE Whether nos it will do this
mains to be seen, ana tho efforts Of Mr.. Chambers
managers since election demonstrate very clearly
that they appreciate this fact for every effort has been
bent to dlsorgsnzs ho Changers tue interest Of Mr.
Chandler.
Tho efforts Of the Republican CHANGERS at Lansing in
August last to tho recognition OF their order by
the Republican Safe Convention proved futile their
strongest canddate-Mr Luce for State Treasurer
receiving less than than onehrd OF vote cast
for that office Early in tho Spring 10 was whispered
about that Senator Chandler was in favor Of throwing

leading Granger Mr. ]. Webster Childs OF Washtenaw
County This proposition OF reached Gov Bag

informed Mr. Chandler that II there was any further
attempt made by him to secure Granger candidate for
Governor on the Republican ticket, he Baecy) would
resist his reelection Senate. The breach between
Senator Chandler aud Gov. Bagley may really b. sud
to have It's origin four years growing out or the
fact Bagey supported William A. Howard for
the U. s. Senate against Mr.. Chander's choice, In
Ferry, his colleague IN the Senate. truce had
been patched up between them for the good Of tho
party" aud during the last Campaign wac
agreed that there should DO suspension Of
hostilities, Mr. Chandler agreeing TO support Gov
Bagey for denomination and the latter agreeing to sup
port Mr. Chander's reelection to tho Senate How ft
Gov Bagey will feel bound to fulfill his promise, Is
matcrof speculation here, for bis intimate friends and
associates do hesitate to that BIO viii take suoh
course as seems best after consultation with leading
Republican members Of tie legislature. II this be 50,
there is good believe that Mr. Chandler will BE-
beaten in the Republican caucus, for the best men ia
that party tho absolute necessity OF throwing over
board the man who, as much any other in the coun
try Is responsible for she overwhelming defeat they
| have recently suffered This view is especially hod by
Leut-Goy Holt. who before election an ardent and
active anChandler man, aud who in spite Of that fact
ran ahead of the Republican ticket. IL Is
also asserted by the Intimate friends OF Mr. Hoyto
! Tuscola County, the prominent candidate for
Speaker OF the Lower House thus FAR that he against
Mr. Chandler If Indeed does take the Geld against

Speaker II this sOaud there seems TO be no doubt
whatever that sthere is no doubt that the days u
the Chandler dynasty are numbered.
