THE rHRD DIsTRlCr--rhe fight over the next
member of Congress in the Third District wakes
warmer and warmer. Indeed we doubt II the
famous lloyt-Baxter campaign in that district
was more bitter The contest evidently is TO be
close one, At the time Of going to press one
hundred aud seyenty-two delegates have been
chosen and the count stands Us follows; Grout,
eighty-one, Barlow, seyenty-ninei IIendee, four
l.add eight 1t requires one hundred and six of
the two hundred and ten delegates to secure
nomination, so 1t will be perceived that the hon
ors are very nearly evenly divided between the
two leading candidates 1t Is supposed that the
delegates favorable To Lidd would have Grout
for a second choice and intimated that the Hen
dee delegates would favor Barlow. Various plans
for a compromise in case Of deadlock In the con
yentlon have been suggested, which look mostly
to the return for a fourth term of Governor Hen
dee. In any event the campaign has been most
notable one, and we hear little legitimate com
plant of the gallant manner Ia which the friend,
Of General GrOut have conducted IT, lie has had
much to contend with, aud the fight his friend
have made has been an honorable one
