NEAR AT HAND-sENAToR JOHNSON NOT TO
sPEAK-PRoBABILITIEs OF THE DECIDING VOTE.

to- night 10 be about TO receive the coup de grace
on tomorrow by reaching vote, should Mr..
Johnson, OF Tennessee, maintain his determine
ton not TO speak, as there are no other Senators
who are known TO desire to be heard further on
the subject. The eX-President Is suffering from
malarial sore throat, aggravated by detection on
account OF the almost hopeless condition OF his
revered wife, ana this will strengthen his purpose
to remain SILENT though he Is known to have read
up extensively on the case, with view or taking
a simply legal and non-pohrlcal view or 1t. The
estimate OF republican Senators tonight is that
PincAback VIII be rejected by majority OF two
votes. though others contend that the decision
viii be even closer. Many among them contend
thar. strictly legal and consistent view OF the
issue, since the Kellogg governments has been
recognized, they cannot consistently throw Pinch
back out, because II, as Senator Carpenter said,
the Kellogg government is good enough to he
recognized as q de Jdcto government It's act in
sending Pinchback to the Senate Is good enough
to be equally as well recognized by them as on
pri,0d ,ocie case. Any other course Is stigma
tized as inconsistent and marked with the evl.
oences OF sheer folly. Senator Morton will close
the case Tor Pinchback, as Chairman or the Com
mittee or Privileges and Elections and 1t is whis-
pered about that the deciding vote, which is TO
result IN the securing Of PinchDack's seat, will IN
ali probability be cast 10y the Vice Presden
Pincnback has determined to lace the enemy to
the last and, as "standipg reproach," VIII hold
his position as earnest l0Oker-on from the SOFAS
of the lobby until his fate snail be decided one way
or another.
