It was said Of Ben. Hallett bacl

OUR SENATORIAL ELECTION.
But little will be done in our
next Legislature, which meets on
the 9th proximo until a United
States Senator is elected. There
are but three aspirants named for
the toga, Senator Sargent, Cover
nor Perkins and Hon. NJ. NJ. Estee,
the strength of the candidates be
ing in the order in which they are
named. In sporting phrase Sar-
gent is strongly the fayorite in the
pools. The charge that he is the

The complexion of the incoming
Legislature, | mean the Republican
majority part Of that body, is thor
oughly Republican, and that major

but a straight-out Republican as
successor to Senator Farley. Here
in is the strength of Sargent and
the weakness of Perkins and Estee.
Sergeant has been a constant Re
publican since the foundation Of
that political body, doing battle for
its party when no reward could
have been expected. Perkins as a
Senator from Butte county voted
against the adoption of the Fiji |
tenth Amendment, thus keeping
faith with the Democrats who
helped elect him, but proving him
self doubtful sort of Republican.
Estee bolted the party in 1873 and
