by the agents of the County Democracy that 1t

SPRINGFIELD Ill., Feb. 2O.-Iherc is a disposition
on the part of the Legislature to adjourn next week
and take rest Of ten days, even i United states
Senator shall have been elected Neither Logan nor
Morrison have anything to lose by an adjournment.
Morrisons people depressed aud dishcarened and
confess that they have no hope Of electng him as
things stand now though some of them think that #
he can hold out until March he whip in the
kckers.
An adjournment that would enable him to keep in
the field until after the Inauguration of the Democratic
President would suit him and might improve his
pects 1t looks now, however, doubtful ii he viii be
much Of candidate after the middle OF next week;
Logans riends say that the vote yesterday developed
what General Logan has been expecting all the time
that Sittig and Mcmillan had determined never TO
allow hun 10 be elected if they could prevent IT.
Logans friends say further that he proce edlngs 20
far show the programme TO be Past the same "a eight
wears ago. when two selected 10 vote for
Logan when they could not elect and not to vote Tor
him when they could. General Logan says that he
understands the game, and that te VIII be elected
in the end If he could get the lO2 Republicans to
vote for him until Morrison hauled of. his chances
would be excellent Morrison will hold on a long as
he and then try to defeat those who succeeded IN
defeating him. That he prevent all the Democrats
from voting for any other Democrat Is not believed
