The Maine senstorssip
There is a great deal OF excitement
here about the election OF a new Senator
10 occupy the place now beiong'nyto the
Hon. Hannibal Hsmiin, whose term OF
office expires in March next.
Mr.. Hale aud Mr.. Frye are the most
sctive asp:rsnts. Frye is popular and
Hale has money, or. rather, his vile
has; but she does not like to spend II
much. This is inconvenient ior En-
gene.
The man who is most likely to be
elected is Hannibal ilamlin. He un.
ders,ands hos to snatch victory out oi
the laws Of defeat. The common people
ike him. He knows how ~ deal with
the members OF Legislature. Don't
te surprised il he now gets fourth term

Of Nr. Cameron that between the Pres
