| DOVER, March 17.-Hardly trace il
left of the Senatorial contest which has
been uppermo In the minds of almost
every one here for the last two weeks.
One by one the delegations have gone
home, and the great crowd which
thronged the State House last night is
not to be seen. The Gray legions have
gone away apparently satisfied with
the result OF last nights work, though
as a matter of fact Mr.. Gray's nomina.
tion was received without any demon
stration whatever, and even his most
ardent admirers did not seem to think
1t prudent to RlOat over their victory.
The fact cannot be disputed that the
Lore men are sore. They went into the
fight believing that they would win,
and they now claim that 1t was the
treachery of one man that defeated
them. The caucus nomination was rati-
fed by the respective Houses this morn
ing. The members of the Legislature
have again settled down to the regular
routine work, and business is being
pushed AZ rapidly as possible. Speaker
Cooper gave notice Of a bill to-day rati-
tying the proposed Constitutional.
