reached the city yesterday that Sen
ator o. s. Marshall. OF Hancock
county, will be elected president OF
the senate, and j. A. Seamon' OF
jackson will be the unanimous choice
OF the caucus for speaker of the

II is asserted by the friends and
supporters of Senator Marshall that
their candidate has practically a
clear field, his only real opponent
being Senator Joseph II. McDermott'
whose candidacy is being managed
by Secretary OF state Swisher How
ever, 1t Is not believed in well in
formed political quarters that Nc
Dermott has much chance, and it Is
possible he may withdraw before the
caucus meets in order TO make Mar
shalls nomination unanimous. Sena-
tor Marshall, while not making any
great claims OF strength, appears to
be sanguine OF success.

the strength OF any of my oppo-
nents," he said, yet l have every
confidence that will secure the nom

ton on the first ballot
