well-founded rumors afoat to the
effect that Dolph will lose several
votes tomorrow, at which time
the opposition expect to be sue
cessful in electing a senator.
The above telegram indicates
the defeat of Dolph. The tenor
of the Oregonian's Salem cores
pondence yesterday signifies as
much. Speaker Moores in
speech yesterday announced him
self as willing to vote for any
republican who stands on the
republican platform, whenever
the opposition signifies its serious

That man will probably be Gov

MANS Salen reporter said in yes

"The only new thing in the

statement made by Lords friends
that on Thursday he will be

1t is more clearly manifest than
ever that the opposition leaders
are bent upon Lords election. :"
