There are seven congressman to be chosen In this
city at the coming cecon. In some OF the districts,
such as the Fifth and Seventh, close contests may be
expected.
la the Fifth district Mr. Edwin r. Meade, the pres
ent member, Is likely to be renominated by Tammany
Hail. The gentleman has made an efficient Representa-
tive and will prove strong candidate He WILL how
ever, have an active competitor IN the person of
Colonel James +. Kerrigan, who is working energet-
cay to secure the prize. The Colonel IS very popular
among the Irish voters OF the district as he

Ex-Poce Justice Edward Hogan Is also mentioned as a
likely candidate for the Tammany nomination.
Mr. s. 5. Cox will be nominated in the Sixth district

not at all improbable tnat the gentleman ~ receive
