The law Of the State proscgibe5 that tle
lower house, from the fou: kights: candidates,
shall select two whose names sta!! be sent to
the senate, and from these tTo names the latter
body shall select the one who shall be governor.
IT, therefore, the greenbackerj aud democrats
are in majority 10 the house. they may send
to the senate the names OF their respective gu
bernaorial candidates, and the senate, although
itself republican, will be forced to choose be-
tween Smith, greeCbackcr, and GaTcai!n, dem
ocrat. There are some OF the straight cut
democrats, however, who are said to lave
pledged themselves against the selection Of q
greenback nominee Tor governor, AMI thus
there is q chance for the republicans.
AS now heard from, the democrats ard
greenbackers have majority OF ons ballot
which elects State officials. Three republican
congressman arc re electcd-Reed in the first
district, Frye in the second, and Lln4seg in the
third. .Ladd, democratic grecnback, is elected
over Powers by $500 in the fourth district.
The fifth district is still doubtful, with
chances greatly 10 favor Ct Murch. Waldo
county gives l,S0O plurality tor Murch, Thlie
Washington, so far as heard from, gives LOO
plurality for Hale. The result depends upon
towns in Washington rot heard from, which
will 20 against Hale, but az Washington towns
arc going Democratic rather than Rreenback,
so far as heard from, they may save Hale by
going for Martin.
