Senate from Delaware County.
independence, Dec. 10.-The senator
ial term of III. J. Griswold of the Thirty
third district, composed of Buchanan
and Delaware counties, expires next
year. 1t has long been q rule for the
counties to alternate in furnishing a
member for the upper house, and, ac-
cording to this precedent, Delaware
county will select the next senator.
Mention of George f. Durham for
speakership of the next house brought
out the information that Mr.. Durham
will not be candidate to succeed HIM
self in the Sixty-seventh district, but
aspires to senatorial honors. No OPP
posing candidate has yet been an
nounced, and even If there be one Mr..
Durham will undoubtedly be the choice.
The old factional fight between Dun
hams law partner the Hon. w. Fl. Nor
ris, and the Hon. D.. H. Young, in
which Mr.. Young was elevated to the
senate, has died out as far as the prin-
cipals are concerned, and If there Is a
fight against Mr.. Durham it will be
along new lines. Whoever their choice
may be, there is no question of a ratifi-
cation by the Buchanan county dele
