To Elect an Iowa Senator.

Des Moines, lowa, Jan. 15.—The principal work of the general assembly yesterday was the formal canvass of the vote for governor and lieutenant-gov-ernor at the last election. The Republicans of the assembly hold a joint caucus this afternoon for the purpose of nominating a United States senator, state printer and bjnder, and wardens for the two penitentiaries. There are no contests, except for warden of the Anamosa penitentiary. Senator Allison will, of course, be renominated, as will the incumbents of the other offices, except the Anamosa wardenship. For that position M. P. Madden is a candidate for re-election. Other candidates are Captain Crossley of Webster City, ex-Warden McMillan and Mr. Lliff.
