The Candidates and the Ca.scssstn0.
For the day before the caucus, Sunday wal
not very industriously improved for button
holing. There was great deal of offic.
seeking gas diffused throngh the hotel cor
ridors, and for short time in the evening
the Merchants was a ''jam;' but less interes
was manifested, from the fact that, for the
more important Offices contestants were
Withdrawing, leaving all the fight to be or
unimportant positions.
Tie Speakership contest has narrowed
down to Hon. G. A. Gilman and Jared Ben
son. Messrs. West, Denny and Comstock
who were supposed to be aspirants, are all
supporters of Mr.. Gilman, and it looks as
though the fight on Gilman was not to be
very fast or furious.
! For Secretary of the Senate Charley John
son now has clear field. Gen. Jennison's
smiling countenance was visible in the
churches and other places of public resort
yesterday, but he declared himself not a
candidate for anything. He re-
Gently purchased the interest of his partner,
Mr.. Perkins, in the Red Wing Republican,
and very sensibly proposes to remain at
home and attend to his regular knitting.
He proposes to let the Office seek the news
paper man, and not vSce Dersa. and hence
we may never expect to see the General in
public place again. He is 20 be congratu-
lated on his escape from the turmoils of life,
and his determination to hereafter lead q
reputable career, even unto green old age,
Is worthy of commentator. His son, how
ever, is candidate for engrossing clerk of
the Senate, which, as he is an enterprising
young man, is not so surprising.
For the Chief Clerkship of the House
Gen. Flower is still without opposition,
and the rumor that Jennison was to switch
over to the House proving false, Flower
now has a clear track. As he made an ex-
cellent clerk last winter the House is to be
congratulated.
For the Assistant Clerkship of the House
Robert Deakin is now reported to have no
opposition. This leaves 40 contest in the
House save for minor positions and the
greatest struggle of all bids fair to be for
tae postoffce.
We append revised list of candidates.
1t is by no means complete, as numerous
candidates are hiding their light under q
bushel, and apparently feei ashamed to have
it known they are in the field Republican
caucuses will be held to night, and good
many will then be out of the field pretty
effectually:
