Cole expresses confidence in the result if the members can be made to understand the situation fully. The news of his appointment in the United States Senate to the Appropriations, Postoffice and Public Buildings Committees has changed votes, who favor his re-election as those Committees are of benefit to the Pacific coast.
Felton quietly awaits the disagreement of the ruling factions and his chances as compromise candidate.
A careful count of sure members places Sargent at thirty-two, Cole twenty-one, Felton at eleven, and the balance waiting for cause, with a predilection to the strongest man.—San Francisco Chronicle's dispatch, 7th.
