to be chosen, but no State officers of any
kind are to be elected. OF the ten repre-
sentatives i q the present Congress eight
are Democrats and two Republicans.
the feature of the campaign just con-

most of the districts. In all the districts
except the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh,
the fight is square one between the
Democrats and Republicans, In the
three districts named, which are over
whelmiugly Democratic, Indepeu-
dents are in the field. In the Third
district up to Saturday last the canvass
was quite lively, as the hight was a tri-
angular one between Democrats, Repub-
leans and the Reform Labor party, each
having a candidate, but owing to the
withdrawal at the last hour of the Labor
candidate, William II. Mullen, the contest
has narrowed down to Hon. George ID.
Wise, incumbent, and ex-Judge Edmund
Waddili, Rep, Mr.. Mullen and his adj
hereSts almost unanimously supporting
the Democratic nominee.
