The Republicans are much interested and
somewhat alarmed at the prospect Of the
Connecticut senatorial election. 1t is
feared that il General Hawley is elected
n Democrat will be elected to succeed him
in the House, and this would divide the
vote of Connecticut in case Of an election
by the House in 1880 of President. 1t is
not absolutely certain that any other can
didate would carry the First District for
the Republicans.
The friends of Supervising Architect
Hill say the Secretary of the Treasury will
not remove him on account Of the indict-
ment against him at Chicago.
1t is the current talk that Secretary
Sherman will not ask for the appointment
of DR.. Linderman, tho Director of the
MINIS, but will endeavor to strengthen
himself politically by favoring the appoint
ment Of a w%ell-known Western politician
not now in Office. 1t is believed. however,
that DR.. Linderman will be reappointed.
The President regards him as a faithful,
honest and efficient officer.
