JEFFERSON CrTr. Mo-. Jan. fittings here are
taking shape and the outlines OF what is to be
are beginning TO show themselves. Glover is
already defeated man and will not get more
than twenty votes. There is a warmer feeling
for Allen than for Glover, but his votes on the
first ballot will be. light. Gov. Phelps will go
into the caucus and take his chances. Hardin
Tho cause OF Vest Is growing every hour and
the election OF Belch for Speaker OF the House
Is virtually conceded.
The Phelan Committee, which Is examining
the accounts of the State Treasury will be ready
to report by the fifteenth instant. The exact
amount now due from the Mastin Bank to the
State Treasury is $286 900.
IL is not probable that Col, Armstrong will get
the senatorial short term. His vote for the con-
frmation OF Mcneil has killed him among the
rabid Democracy. Gen. James Shields will
probably be the man.
The Democratic senatorial caucus will be
composed OF about 14o members. OF which there
will be required over seventy to nominate. All
will be admitted to the caucus who will agree to
cooperate with the Democratic party in the fu-
ture. This will catch most OF the Greenbackers
and Independents.
