Washington special says: Repub-
licans are much interested and
somewhat alarmed at the prospect
of the Connecticut senatorial elec-
ton. It is feared that if Gen. Haw-
lay is elected Democrat may be
elected to succeed him in the House,
dividing the vote of Connecticut in
case of an election by the House, in
1880, of President. 1t is not abso-
lutely certain that any other can
didate would carry the First Dis
trict for the Republicans.
The friends of Supervising Ar
chitect Hill say that the Secretary
of the treasury will not remove
him on occount of his indictment
at Chicago. 1t is current talk that
Secretary Sherman will not ask for
the re.appointment of Lindermau,
the Director of the Mints, but will
endeavor to strengthen himself
politically by favoring the appoint-
ment of some well known Western
politician not now in office. 1t is
believed, however, that DR.. Linder-
man will be re-appointed, the
President regarding him as faith
ful, honest and efficient officer.
