DAWES AND IIOAR.
The Dawes men evidently wanted to CON
time the contest yesterday afternoon,
while the adherents of Judge Hoar were
willing that the matter should rest until to-
day. In the senate, it was mainly the
friends of Mr. Dawes who desired more bal
lots and voted against adjournment and in
favor Of fourth vote. The democrats,
however, held the balance of power and
were satisfied with the result of the days
work Indeed, they were more than sat
isfied and wallzcd around in a semi-iubi-
liant condition. in view # the solidity with
which the members of that party voted IN
both branches for Judge Curtis, who was
announced as their candidate by the caucus

they hold sort of balance Of power in the
contest and are in position to dictate who

strongly for sir. Adams as they did, and il
is said TO be very doubtful whether he is
the first choice when the time comes to
abandon Judge Curtis They are talking
General Banks much more, but are still
prepared TO vote for Judge Curtis for the
present, at least during the developments
Of to-day.
The Dawes men had little to say about
the result of the vote, but it was apparent
~ Il disappointment. They had calculated
that he would receive the support of about
100 members Of both branches on the first
vote AID that he would lead Judge Hoar
handsomely ut the outset. In this they
were mistaken and the friends OF Judge
lIoar took courage accordingly. 1t will be
seen that two members Of the Senate who
supported Mr.. lloar ON the first and second
votes announced Mr. Dawes as their choice
ON the third. There were several members
Of the House who are known to be friends
OF Mr.. Dawes, who scattered their votes.
Judge lloars friends see nothing in the
vote of yesterday at all discouraging, and
the result was declared more gratifying TO
them than to the Dawes men, inasmuch as
he showed as large number of support
crs as had been claimed for him. They
were actively at work for him and will
continue their labors to-day with undated
zeal
The Boston Journoi thus sums up in re-
ference to the event:
1T will be seen that not only did no can
didatc have majority in both Houses, but
that the highest candidate in the list would
have lacked liGty-nine votes Of an election,
if the voting had been done in Joint con
ycntion. The first impression that will be

voting is Il good deal more indccisiyc, and
the whole matter good deal worse mixed
than anybody had anticipated. In fact, as
an Indication of the final result these bal
lots amount to nothing. They exhibit I'M
questionably considerable amount of de-
liberate, sincere voting, which will be con-
tinucd on the same line but with this is
mixed n large share Of complimentary,
strategic, Pickwickian voting, which will

II any one wants the facilities for looking
into the milestone as far as possible We
commend to his study the alalysis of the

of us to await the development of events

The votes came in the democrats alone

vote unbrolcn for Judge Curtis. The
only possible way by which either of the
two leading candidates can succeed, as it
seems now, is by submitting their names to
