q little less than two years hence. A
gentleman from AL xlndria, who is well
acquainted with the ms and outs OF

the woods are iull of prospective candl-
dates for the place, aud that there is
already great deal of figuring going on.

an eve to the future and telling their In
innate friends not to pledge their sup
mort to any one else are the following
Ex-senator Donohoe, Judge Nicol, ex-
Speaker Ryan, Charles White and c. c.
Carlin. Of course no one is ready to

time no room for doubt that each of the
gentlemen named sre giving more than
an occasional thought to it, and are al
casting anchors to windward, so as to bt

future may bring forth Wash. Corr

long before then Mr.. Rixey will have
fully regained his health and be well
prepared 10 meet his opponents, be they
many or few.
