C0SCoRD, N. H., June 1O.-The caucus of
the Republican members of the Legislature to
choose n candidate for United States Senator is
called for tomorrow night. The whole num-
bcr Of Republican mombcrs is 1888. and un-
doubtedly all will bo present. Tho confess 30
far rs now appears on tho surface. is between
the present Senator. the Hon. Banbridgo Wad-
leigh and Congressman Henry W Blair. The
friends Of both these gentlemen claim to have
majority OF tho votes already promised, but
present Indications are that neither will receive
the nomination on the first ballot Some Of the
shrowdest OF tho politicians here believe that
Blair will greatly lead wadleigh. who how
ever will have influence enough to defeat his
rivals aspirations. even though he cannot him
self command success. II is predicted that
dark horse will yet win tho race and some have
already given him tho name Of Wm. f. Chand-
Ter. who is now working against Wadleigh and
in the interest OF Blair.
Incident to the campaign. Mr.. Chandler hns
to-day published a pamphlet OF thirty-two
pages. which he entities Reply OF Mr.. VIM
J.. Chandler to the ISLANDERS OF the Hon. Balm
bridge Wadegh. late United Senator. together
with n request for explanation Of some acts OF
Mr. wadleigh whilc Senator" Mr.. Chandler
charges that during the last two years or more
the Senator has been hahituay dcfaming his
character by assertions concerning his occupa-
tlon In Washington that ho has done this in
secret manner not Intended for Chnndlcr's
ears. but made for the purpose OF destroying
his reputation with the persons addressed. He
compares this action with Mr.. Wndleigh's
habits In earlier ycurs in his law practice. when
no came near being dlsbarred on charge
OF trickory. Tho nearest approach to open
a n n
letter in the Concord Statesman Of Feb. %. 1879,
IN reply to the Washington correspondent Of
lcrs name was not mentioned, tho offensive
phrase being: gentleman whose connection
with tho Washington lobby Is not matter Of
conjecture" In that letter Mr.. Wadleigh said
that hy his opposition he had won the hitter
hostility ,ot plunderi1g Rings. and had bren
informed that he could not hC elected unless lie
