dav Senator Chandler was asked concern
ing the report that he had offered to loan the
Government s1o0, 900 to 1000 for tho pay
lnent Of United States Marshals during the in-
terval OF the adjournment OF Congress-
Chandler stated positively that he had never
made such an offer or said anything that could
be construed go, and that the report was lie,
made out Of whole cloth. Mr.. Chandler said that
the United States Aiarsba1s could undoubtedly
be paid, not by the Secretary borrowing from
other funds, but By subscriptions OF private
parties who would trust to Congress reimburs-
ing them. He said there would be no trouble
in raising sufficient money in this way. Said the
reporter: II understand that you are possible
candidate for 1851" !:
mo, am not" said Mr.. Chandler. =
'What! Then youlpositiyely decline to be a
candidate!"
aNo, I do not decline. The idea Of my being
q candidate is ridiculous, so that it would be ab
st1rd for me to decline" :.
Mr. Chandler, on the subject Of the Ohio cleo
tion. did not appear to be over-sanguinc. He
would only say that there was strong .possi-
bility Of Fosters election.
