SHEnMAN'S SUCCESSOR.


Special Dispatch to lie TFibuHe-
COLUMBUS, O., March 10-1D the Senatorial
field there is NO apparent change In the stua-
tion tonight. In the carly part Of the day a
canvass was made which seemed to place Gen.
Garfield ahead, but later in the day and to-
night there is no reason to doubt that the Hon.
Stanley Matthews is holding his Own, and with
the best chance of success. His friends are very
scIve among members, and even 60 to the poo
pie and appeal to them to instruct their Repre-
srntativcs to rote for Matthews. It is under
stood that Speaker Grosycnor, Of the House, is
committed 10 Matthews, and working hard for
Lis succcss. Gov. Young is reported Is
FAvoR1SG MATTHEWS.
Garfield seemed quite confident, but the majori-
tythey claim is made up somewhat from the
ncn-committal members, who will not at this
time make known their choice. Garfe1d's
friends assume that this class are surely for
him, but It Is extremely doubtful. It is under
stood that Deacon Richard Smith, Of the Cin-
.innatt Gazette, is working Tor Garfield from the
Washington end Of the line. Shellabarger
shows some considerable strength, but not
enough as yet to make him q very formidable
opponent to Matthews or Garfield. Ben Wade
has been brought forward, but this move is
EVIDENTLY BLIND
which mag result favorably to Garfield.
Ex-Atty.-Gcn. Taft will doubtless receive
few votes, and, should 1t be found that Mat
thcws cannot be elected, the vote will be given
will be strong and exciting. Matthews sup
portcrs will not readily give up the contest.
They are OF the stubborn kind, and will surrcn-
der only when all hope has fed. 4 preliminary
meeting will be held on Tuesday night, when 1t
Is thought affairs will assume more deauite
stlRpe.
