NEWS OF INTEREST TO ALL CITIZENS.

In the Pennsylvania Senatorial race
the most prominent candidates are Gal.
usha A. Grow, ex.Speaker OF the lower
house of the Legislature; Mathew s.
Quay, Secretary Of the Commonwealth,
and Governor Hoyt. Grow is not ad.
mired by Cameron, and hence all OF the
Cameron strength will be arrayed
against him. Quay was Cameron's first
choice, but both he and Hoyt were SO
mixed up in the pardon OF Kemble, the
Legislative briber, that thew are dis.
tasteful to the people and will probably
have to be dropped. The balance oi
power lies with the unpledged members
OF the Legislature, and Cameron wishes
to unite his forces on frst.class man
in order to draw the undecided TO his
flock.
There is much talk OF taking Grant
up and it is very likely that his name
would be sufficient to unite the uncom.
mitted with the anti-Grow forces.
Reagan has called a meeting of the
River and Harbor Committee Rr this
week. He is very anxious to get his
bill through early in the session. He is
also strongly opposed to an extra ses.
sion. Other important committees will
meet this week. 1t ia very evident that
the Democrats will rush things through,
if they are not opposed in the good work
by the Republicans.
