[tis now so nenr the the of meeting that politicians on the Republican side begin to talk a good teal anout the business that willeome before the Legistature. and the, political figuring that is always going ont Madison during the session, First comes the election of 1 United States Senator to suc- ceed Angus Cameron, and the struggle now looks as ff it would be n_ severe ove, with the result in doubt. ‘The only avowed candidates thus far are Keyes and Sawyer, and, as bolt gentienen elaimto be ahead in the race, It is safe tu gay that one or the other is inistnken, and will be conse: quently disnppolnted when the Republican eaucus deterniines the matter. As there 13 no uppearanee of a durk horse at present, or of wthied candidate to hold the batance of power and thus protract the eantroverny, It Ss guuite likely that cither Sawyer or Keyes will be made happy by anelection, Thelocat Sutluenee here at the Capital, where Mr, Keyes lias resided for twenty-tive years, is of course strongly In his favor, and on the other hand the sentlnents of the Milwaukee Re- ST Chicago Tribune, publicans are quite ay decktedly | in favor of Sawyer.

Thus far three xentlemen have put in’ an appearinee ag canditates, “all honorable meu,” and either of whomst would. nmke an acceptable Spenker, These are S. W.

MeFetridze, of Dodge, an old member of the State Sen- ate, Itis notimpossible but that the ques- tion of United States Senator may enter Into the choice of the Speaker, and the first blond be drawn by the cholve on thit issue for ona or the other of the candidates. In that cnse both Keyes and Sawyer would have a choice, and put forth herculvan effurts not to be dis- taneed in the first heat. ‘There is always good deal of slate-mak- ing at svely.

Harrison's Senatorial aspirations 2" ‘To whieh Polndexter’s friend replied: “Precisely 50, ‘That's exactly what I meant to any, and you may emphasize this statement Jf you desira to give your paper the news Ita relinble form.” Itisa lite surprising that the Journal's correspontlent, who “desired to give his paper the news In a reliable form,” did not seo Senator Poindexter In person. Ile lives {ur that vicinity, and is at home, Sind he seen Mim the Senator would have repented just what ho stated in this elty on Wednesday, that he had never once thought of making his action In the organization of the Senate contingent upon the selection of a United States Senator, It never has been clined in theso dispatches = or by Gen. Hlarrison’s friends that Senator Polus dexter would vote for Gen, Harrison orany other Republican, He Is not asked to. do 50, nor Is it expected that he wills but that he wht notin anyway hinder the erganiza- tion of the Senate on account of the Ikell- hood of Gen. Itarrison’s electtan, he stated repeatedly when inthe city, and statements: to the contrary emanate not from the Sena- tor, but from the opponents of Gen. Marri- son, Who know better. Senator Polndexter Is a man of too sound judgment to suppose that he can delay or de- feat the ehulce of 2 Republican caucus’ for United States Senator. ‘The Repubjicans haven majorty of sixteen on Joint ballot, askte from Mr. Polndexter, and the iden o! sixteen surrendering to one js absurd, ‘Youching general ° legislation, Senator Poindexter (3 reported ns saying that the Re- publicuns cannot count upon his vote with certainty on any proposition about the ian agemen@of the benevolent Institutions. | Tt is said he will vote fora bul. to Inerease the number of ‘Prustees from’ three to flve or seven, and cut off the emoluments new at- tached to tha position, a Beurd of Charities to have the supervising coutrol of the Instl- tutions.
