The contest for commander in chief
has" beepme m all!l NOR, more complicated
by the arrival OF a'1arge delegation
from New York, headed by Corporal
Tanner, in support of Col. John e,
Sheets, of Yonkers. This not only
divides the vote of the department of
New York against Col. A. D. Shaw, of
Watertown, N. Y, but it also divides
the vote Of other eastern departments
that were expected TO be solid for
Shaw. While Col. ]. A. Sexton, Of Chi
cage, had only one or two votes in the
Illinois delegation against him, he is
now losing some support by the candi-
dacy of Col. Tom Anderson, of Topeka,
who is getting western votes that were
depended upon for Sexton, who
was considered as fayorite in the
race, as the only western candidate,
until the Kansas man just brought
out. /. +. Mack, the Ohio candidate
for commander in chief, is embar-
rassed in his canvass by the fact that
y" c. johnson, Of Cincinnati, has been
determined on as the man for senior
vice commander, and the two leading
offices are not likely to go to the same
state. Commander w. 3. Atkins has
heretofore been considered as the lead
ing candidate for rear admiral of the
National Naval association, but he is
having close contest now with Com
modore j. F. r. Foss for that position.
The contest for the new offices has
now become quite animated among the
ladies. ~ 10
