THE SENATORIAL FIGHT

who literally continue . jostltng by dark in
trigue for place" and, in my opinion, more
serious for the Republican party.
Were the matter TO rest between Logan and
Farwel} solely: it would stand simply i question
Of Government and State political machinery
on the one haod, and lavish ana unscrupulous
use OF money on the other.
But, while O1lesby's friends still cling to him
closely; and there can be hundreds Of partisans
found who would risk their alt upon their con-
vction Of either, Loean's or Farwcl's success,
among Keen observers and careful lookers-on
The impression is becoming general that
NEITHER OF THE THREE WILL BE ELECTED.
THIS feeling is best illustrated by citing the
remarks Of one Of. Gen. Loean's most earnest
workers and trusted admirers, made to me yes

he said. "This miserable Farweli business
has hurt Logan, il it hasn't helped Farwcl..

has become too bitter. We Ibe Logan faction]
could have easily beaten Ogicsby. We could
beat Farwell If the Joint caucus would abide the
result But, d-nis, Charlie Farwc'i swears he
will never permit Jack to go the Senate. That
means the expenditure Of $50,0uo, II necessary,
to beat him; and the yell has gonc up already,
as it did two years ago: 'AarTHlSG to beat

The Journal, in sweet spirit OF scll-abneaa-
