Senatorial Estimates.

Gov. Tyler claims that he will have
sixty-five or seventy Of the Democratic
members Of the Legislature when they

such claims. and point to the fact that
practically nearly all of the twenty or
more men who have been nominated
are for the Senator Mr.. Martin will
not give out any fgr"es, bat some OF
his advisers and closest friends assert
with confidence that his opponent will
not get forty votes.
Perhaps three-fourths of the men who
have been nominated are for Martin,
but Gov. Tyler has claimed all along
that his men would be nominated later
on. He claims eight or more of the
nineteen hold-over senators, while Mr.
Martin only comedies him about four.
There ore ten Democrats in the
present legislature, and unless their
number is increased this year it will
take sixty-six votes to nominate Mr.
Martins successor.
