Sensible Opinion.
The contest in the Susuuehanna-
Wayne Senatorial district has become
quite lively. Four years ago Senator
Hardenburgh just pulled through with
majority of 1893. Wayne county gave
Nccided majority against Harden
gh, though he was Il resident, and
Il. lDemocrats seem to think that they
can make better showing there this
year because the Republican candidate
is resident of Susquehanna. Colonel
Pratt, however, is a very popular man,
and is not only not likely to lose any
thing in Wayne. where the Republicans
are now well united, but is quite certain
to run ahead in his own county.-Phila-
