GLOVER aspires to be in the field of politics
His sketch Of the Senatorial contest twt
years ago, in which he reveals the plan h,
and other tsfriends" of Judge LAwRENc,
had adopted to secure that gentlemanis e1ec
ton to the Senate after the withdrawal O.
LOGAN from the track, leaves no doubt as t<
his pre-eminent ability as political War
VICE. LOGAN had steadily received, as caucus
nominee, the full Republican vote for weeks
but it was not large enough to elect him.
After he withdrew his name, the Republican
caucus nominated Judge LAWRENCE, in the
hope that he would attract enough Demo.
cratic or Independent votes to be elected.
But the first ballot taken after LAwRExcE's
nomination BY the Republican caucus showed
that eleven Republicans who had previously
voted for LOGAN bolted the caucus candidate,
LAWRENCE. Now, the eminent strategist, Mr.
GLOVER, has been good enough to explain
how this was intended to aid LAWRENCE.
This bolt, he says, was s. by an arrangement
of the LAWRENCE men with view of CON-
plimentiug HANrs, for the purpose Of get
ting the support Of his [HAHEs] friends back
f. e., to LAwREscEl." .HA1SEs." adds thisre
markable tactician, ss could not have gotten
one of these votes il there had been any
danger Of his being elected by them; that
was the understanding down there"
There you have the whole thing in g nut
shell! Mr.. WARWICK GLOVER was, as he
says, '*sort o watching Judge LAwRExcE's
interests" by which he means that he was
directing the campaign, and he Immediately
gave wink along the line that the way to
elect LAWRENCE was to vote for Joux G.
HANEs. On the thirtY-ffth ballot (the first
taken after the caucus had nominated Judge
LAwRE,,cE), eleven Republicans who had
been working, and whooping, and voting
for LOGAN when he Was the caucus nonai
nee, and who were expected to vote
for LAWRENCE as the Republican caucus
under AIr. WARWICK G1ovER's instructions
that the only way to elect LAWRENCE was to
vote for HAHEs? However, the eleven
stanch and true LoaAN-ites must have been
astonished to find that LAWRENCE was not
elected by the vote they gave to HANEs.
They probably called on the profound
strategist for an explanation. @Ah, my
boys, b1and]y remarked that astute tactician,
- there were only elccen complimentary votes
for HA1SEs; you can't reasonably expect that
small number to elect our friend LAWRENCE:
you must give HA1SEs some more" And so
the ardent but confding LoGAS-ites again
bolted the caucus nominee, and gave HANEs
sirtfen votes on the next ballot,-and still
LAWRENCE wasn't elected! Again they
turned to the cunning and adroit manager of
LAwnEscE's political fortunes, and he replied:
4 You must be still more complimentary to
HASEs; 60 it strong on HANEs, and LAW
RENEE is bound to come out ahead" So
he next ballot some forty-seven of LocAs's
men voted for the dusty miller, JonN c.
1AlSEs, who ought to have voted for LAW
FENCE. But, by peryersity Of fate which
IL of GLovEn's ski1lful strategy could not

But Gen. GLOVER insisted on his tactics Us
and on the thirty-ninth ballot, the
