THE STATE CANVASS.

There is some prospect Of row among
State Democratic leaders here, growing
out Of the conclusion OF Governor Cam
den to stay out OF the race for the Demo-
cratic Gubernatorial nomination at Mar
tinsburg, and to save his limited wind for
the four mile Senatorial heats next winter.
Hereiord's friends don't like the pro-
gramme any better than Mathews adhe-
rents, and when the chorus is swelled by
the voices OF the numerous other states.
men, which the plan leaves out in the
cold, q regular roaratorio may be expected.
As to Congressional nominations, your
present delegation expect to be renomi'
mated without much difficulty, although
Col. Wilson indicated that he regarded
your townsman, Geo. r. Tingle, as more
troublesome opponent than any he had
vet encountered.
Among Republicans from the State
whom meet here. there is general ex-
preston that DR.. Logan would make a
strong man either for Congress or the Gov
ernorship on the Republican or fusion
ticket.
