Doubtless you have suspected for some time that I entertain a personal wish for a term in the United States Senate; and had the suspicion taken the shape of the direct charge I think I could not have truthfully denied it.

The returns here are not yet complete, but it is believed that Dougherty's vote will be slightly greater than Miller's majority over Fondey.

We have some 120,000 clear Republican votes.
