INDIANA SPEAKERSHIP.

Six CaiulldateH ^Irtvuly H.itlUus to Kecure the PoHitiou. Indianapolis, Nov. 24.—There are six candidates in the held today for the speakership of the next legislature They are B. M Willoufthbv of Vinceunes, Harjy C. 1’ettit of Wabash, B. W. Smith of Lafayette, Jasper Packard of New Albany, John W. Link of Madison and S. E. Nicholson of Kokomo, the latter the author of the temperance law bearing his name. The candidates are leaving nothing undone to further their cause—wfitting letters and traveling over the state, it is said, to personally inview members of the lower house. It has been the desire of the candidates that the seuatoral contest be kept out of the speakership race, but friends of the various candidates for senator desire to know, it is alleged, where each one of the gentlemen desiring to preside over the house stands in the seuatoral tight. This it is thought, will make the contest somewhat acrimonious in its closing

days.
