The T,ibune's Wa hington special
says that on the electoral bill no
member of the Ohio delegation in
the House has received from Gov.
Hayes any expression of his views
or desires; but the fact of their rela-
tions to him being closer than those
of other members would unques-
tionably give to united opposition
on their part great weight and sig
nifcance.

bill name tie following Senators as
likely to oppose its passage to the
end: Morton, Haddock, Dorsey, In
gals, Sargent, Patterson, Boutwell,.

Senators who will vote against the

every one of which was in opposi
ton to the bill. The Iowa delega
ton is almost solid in favor of cvm-
promise. With the exception of
Banks, the Massachusetts, delegation
favor it.
