dates at Work.

FROM some source as yet not located,
n movement was started Yesterday to

turc. Such course would be most
unusual, as this is usually attended Il

feeling that it must be In the interest
Of some one of the four candidates
although none of them appeared tc
know anything of it,
Certain 1t is that some members OF
the Legislature were approached on
the subject
The consent OF Auditor s r. Dono.
hoe has been secured TO accept cleo
ton for the remainder of the uncx-
pired term of the late Colonel Morton
Marye, which means that he will re-
main in office until March |. No one
of the candidates has made any men
ton OF the short germ, and there
VIII he no opposition To Captain Don
oboe. Leaders in the General AS
scmbly asked him to accept election
in view of the Legislative session. Ills
present appointment, which is from
the Governor, lasts until February Q
or earlier. If the election OF Il sue
cessor is had.
The plan seems to be to elect Cap
tain Donohoe carly in the session Tor
the term ending March l. ana then to
postpone until later the fight for tho
next term, for which Captain Donohoc
has refused to run.
