Senatorial.

The assembling of the legislatures of sew.
eral states brings to focus the interest
which has attached to the election of United
States senators in various sections of the
Union. In Michigan the question of Zach
Chandler's successor has been virtually set.
tied by the nomination in republican caucus
of Hon. Omar d. Conger, the present repre-.
sentative from the seventh congressional dis
trict of that state. Mr.. Conger has eminent
ability, is fearless and vigilant champion
of stalwart republicanism, and will do honor
to the seat gilded by the glory of Chambers
later days. In Maine, Mr.. Frye's with
drawal from the contest in the republican
caucus left free field to Hon. Eugene Hale,
who will be elected to succeed the venerable
Hannibal Hamlin. Mr.. Frye's withdrawal
from the contest is regarded as giving color
to the confident assertions in certain news
papers that Mr.. Blaine will be made secre-
tary of state in General Garfeld's cabinet. In
that event Mr.. Frye would undoubtedly be
chosen to the senate. In New York, the

the republicans of Hon. Levi P. Morton, the
present representative in congress from the
eleventh district. The New York Herald
claims for him majority of eight in caucus.
Mr.. Morton is understood to be the prefer

MIA the contest lies between Hon. Galusha
A. Grow and Mr.. Oliver Of Pittsburgh. Mr..
Crows friends seem to be confident of sue

assurance in ultimate victory for their can

though some slight republican opposition to
Mr.. Sherman is expected in Ohio, that he
will be triumphantly elected to his old and
honored seat in the senate is as sure as any
thing in the future can be. General Harri.

predicted by those familiar with the situa

rial elections occur on the 18th instant. The
canvass in behalf of the various republican
candidates is exceptionally active and ex.
cites national interest.
