There will be a lively race for the oflice of Door
keeper of the House of Representatives. Gen. Field,
of Georgia; Mr.. Eugene Higgins, of Maryland; Mr..
Donaldson, OF Tennessee; Mr.. John TrainoI. of New
York; Gen. Colt, of Connecticut and Col. Bacon, of
Illinois, are understood to be competitors for the
honor, with several States yet to hear from.
Hon. William II. English, who helped to beat
Hancock in 1850, is said to be using the money he
didn't spend in that campaign in the vain hope Of
election TO the United States Senate. The sum
that would buy seat in the United States Senate
from an Indiana Legislature would pay the national
debt, and leave enough over TO reimburse specula-
tors In bob-tail Pushes.

A deservedy prominent Ohio Democrat, who was
opposed TO Hoadly's nomination, says there will be
no kicking" INDUCED in by the Democrats who
would have been better pleased at the selection Of
Thurman or Ward. He says: "The so-called
mossbacks of Ohio have always been loyal to their
party, and have never failed to support its cand-
dates Many indeed, like myself, thought Hoady's
nomination an unfortunate one, and would have
been better pleased II a Democrat who had always
acted with the party had been preferred to com.
paratvely recent convert. But perhaps, all things
considered the nomination was as good one as
could be made this year, since Governor Hoadlys
friends are active and jealous In his behalf and
have the means to makea thorough canvass. There
are elements too, which support Hoadly with great
interest which might have been lnkewarm II some
such candidate Durbn Ward or Judge Geddes
had been selected. Thurman would have been
stronger In my judgment, by reason of the intense
enthusiasm that would have been created among
the rank and nle. look for comparatively small
vote in Ohio this fall and that ia In favor The
prohibitionists, however, may increase their vote
largely, in which case Hoadly will win. The labor
element In some localities may be unsettled, but
connected with the political labor element should
vote for Foraker In preference To Hoadly. One
source OF uncertainty IN the campaign arises from
Senator Shermans candidacy for the Senate. Mr..
Sherman Is strong In Ohio, understands thoroughly
the grand tactics and details Of politics strongly
backed by wealthy interests In and out OF the State.
If .he Democrats carry the Legislature Thurman can
probably 20 to the Senate II he desires It, Hoadly
