excitement In reference Ca partizan affairs gensr-
ally aud the Msyoralty question paItieuiarly-

n doubt that ex-senator WIN. Pinkney whyts will
get the nomination, provided all things WORK to
suit him. though bat brief period ago Il vas
generally conceded TO Mayor Latrobe for = third
term. The matter depends entirely upon what
the Democratic primaries do on Friday, and also

that things may still be 90 worked as 10 secure
Mr.. Latrobe. There are said TO be cunning, deep
laid schemes at work which might yet defeat Mr.
whyte. IL 10 quite certain he Is no favorits Of the
ring, or what called the REGULARS" though
they may be forced against their will and desires
TO go for whyte. though they are at deadly hatred
aud cnmity 20 each other. The chances, never
theless, are ten 10 that Senator Whyte will be
the nominee. and from necessity and an appear
