CHARLESTON, February 1O-Sunday
hss besu a day of quiet q rsst to the Leeis-
lsiors, and politicians in this city.
Neither General God. Judge Fleming, nor
Senator Keuna is present ON the field, and
this uuususl absence o. Leaders has drawn
the fires from uuder the political esldrOn.
Such speculation as Is irdulged in turns
on the Senatorial vote tomorrow. There
is no hope shat Mr.. Ksnua viii gain on tbe
blliot IL he does not lose. The REGISTER
correspondent was informed this evening
that Msssrs. Van Pelt Ford and Shanklin
viii uot vots log him. Merrill has not
been supporting him regularly, and Hsrr
and Dorr not at ALL
Tnere are also rumors that other gentle
men viii lake a like course, but so far
th.y Gre only rumors. Messrs. Knott, of
Berkeley, and Sydens'ricker and McClung,
o.. Grse1bisr, are mentioned in
this c5nnec ion. None Of these
gentlemen. with the exception of
SIT. Dorr are unwilling 10 be bound by the
decision of the shortly, and they will sin
te-aiv surplr. Mr.. kenna when their vote
viii elect They take this course IS a |
matter Of policy, believing that by 50 do
inn ar election viii b. reached sooner than
Otherwise. They are strictiparty men and
can bs relied upon in the supreme crisis o /
.rifcm for the supremacy Of Democratic
ussces.
Nr Dorr can still be said to be the only
hs.scie in the way OF Mr. Kenna's elee
.cu. but De apparently remains az firm in I
h.s determination as ever. Under the cir I
