CHICAGO, Jan. ga Republican
special from Topeka, Kansas, says /:
At an informal caucus of anti-Pome-
roy members Of the Legislature, held
last night, 20 members were present,
being a majority of 2G on joint ballot.
Pledges were given to oppose the cleo
ton OF pomeroy by voting against
him. No definite action was taken
looking to the concentration upon any
opposing candidate, which fact gives
hopes to Pomeroy's friends, who con-
slider the jealousies between the rivals
for the succession stronger than the
general opposition to Pomeroy. When
the matter comes to the test they also
say 90 members of the auc will vote
for Pomeroy when he needs them.
Another caucus will be held tonight,
when it is probable an attempt will be
made to unite upon an opposition can-
didate.
