A Unanimous Belief That the Con,-
ing Year VIII be one of Unusual
Prosperity.
NEW YoRR, Dso. 3l.-The Commercial
AdpeJ tiSer says that interviews with many
leading business men, as to the prospects,
for 1880, reveal an almost unanimous be-
lief that the coming year will be one of
unusual prosperity.
Among others whose views are re.
ported Is MIR. Erastus Wiman's, who is,
perhaps, about as veil posted upon con-
dltions as any man in the country, having
vast interests, both here and In Canada.
He has made q careful study OF the situa-
ton. He says:
"If next year is not the most pros
porous year in our history gre.t calapli.
ties, which man cannot forsee, must
occur. In all my business experience
have not seen Q more favorable outlook.
From all parts OF the country good neva
is coming in. Nearly every great indus
try Is reported to be prospecting, and
business men Of large and small trade
appear to be in unusually prosperous cir
cuinstances. The development of the
general wealth of the country has been
unparalleled. For the first time the
southerners are obtaining as good prices
for their iron, 6c., as Ia obtained by
northern manufacturers. The iron men
of the south are sure to make big profits
next year. The wealth OF the nation has
also been increased by the development
of immense iron and copper mines in tie
northwest.
"And ! have reserved news which
shows better than anything else coul
how plentiful the western crops have
been. hear that farmers In some SEQ
tions are using corn for fuel. They find
1t cheaper than coal, SO it is said, and

tity, Keep enough to supply themselves
and lay aside some for fuel. Iyenture to
predict that there will be very few fail

tor Tosdyine, OF wioomico, was author
lied this evening TO announce that Cover
nor jackson is candidate for United
States senator, and the friends of the
once, and they did some active work
among the members. Governor Jackson
believes that large majority Of the
members are his friends in the contest.
Senator John Walter Smith, Of Worcester
is leading the canvass for Senator Wilson.
The jackson party, now that they are
permitted to go into the fight. are APP
parently determined to make up for lost
time, and they are elsctionesring ON all
sides.
A supporter of Governor Jackson puts
the matter IL this way THE friends OF
Governor jackson, fecognizing his ability
and services to the Democratic party of
Maryland, have determined to make him
candidate for United States Senate to
succeed senator Wilson, whose to m ex-
pires the Attn of March, 1891. The CAM
paign has commenced and will be urged
until there is m election. The governor
has many strong personal friends on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, his home,
aud his public life has made and retained
many friends on the Western Shore, who
will aid in electing him. His friends
claim that thoy have already assurances
OF more votes than will be required in the
| oaunus.
The story in the lobby is that Colonel
Blu Shmsn's friends want that gentleman
to take sides with Gov. Jackson for the
senstorship. This would mean that
Baughm an would be in the field for the
gubernstorisl succession and the comp
trollership would go to the Eastern Shore.

from the Eastern Shore, Mr.. Hodson
should receive the honor. The Republi'
cans will caucus Wednesday morning for

Darlington Favors Giving the Ne,

Darlington tavOTs GtFiuS inc Next
CongressrhaD TO Delaware County.
Philadelphia Press special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-OongressmR
Darlington to-day authorized the state
ment that he is not candidate for re-
election from the Chester Delaware dis
trict, as enormously stated in West
Chester dispatch to a Philadelphia paper
this morning. II is not true that he has
held any conference recently at his home
with his lieutenants with the view Of
making o fight for denomination.
More than this, Mr.. Darlington ex-
plicitly stated to-day that he recognized
the right OF Delaware county to name tho
next congressman from the district, and
that he would himself favor the nomina-
ton snd election OF the candidate pre-
scented to the people of the district by
the Delaware county Republican organi-
zation.
This declaration is interpreted here as
being practically equivalent, as things
look ut this time, 10 declaration in favor
Of State Senator John B. Robinson for
Congress. 1t is we'll known that the
political conditions in Delaware county
are shaping themselves toward harmony,
one condition Of which may be the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Robinson for Congress.
Mr.. Robinson has been here for several
days, and this afternoon he had friendly
interview with Mr.. Darlington
Mr. Robinson states that he ia not q
candidate in the usual sense OF that term
for the congressional nomination, but il
the local leaders OF the party in his
county should agree upon his name it is
altogether probable that he would not de-
cline the honor thus offered.
MEDIA, Pa, Dec. 25.-Delaware county
| politicians would not be surprised to see
Smedley Darlington again nominated for
Congress from tho Sixth district. There
is really no Delaware county candidate in
the field about whom the party can rally.
Senator Robinson said yesterday, upon
returning from Washington, that he
would not be candidate for Congress
unless his friends thought it advisable,
and this declaration is regarded as sig
pihcant. Judge Clayton and Samuel
Grocer, the Upland manufacturer, have
each declined to run and stsunch Repub-
licsns do not like the idea OF DIR. ]. l..

itwculd not be surprising il the Delaware
county conferrees should turn to Dir-
lington, who is strong in this county,
and ask him to accept denomination.
