GLANCE At THE BATTLEFIELD
Special Dispatch to The Tribune
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Jan. 1S.-On or before the
adjournment of the General Assembly at noon
to-day, many Of the legislators aud the friends
OF the various candidates for Scuatorlal honors
left this city, exhausted iu mind and body with
the contest which has been raging here for the
past two weeks. There are, however, 1e"
strangers On, and fifty or more members OF tue
Legislature, including Logan himself, who arc
still On the ground looking meditatlse!y over
the hard-won fight 4 survey OF the situation
after the excitement Of the contest is not assuF-
tug to those vino were induced to give Their
reluctant SUPPORT to Logan with the e1pecta-
ton Of
RECEIVING SOME REWARD
from the great promiser IN the shape o1 elale
and FEDERAL patronage They begin to nave
their tender breasts narrowed with the piercing
apprehension that these promises cannot oe
fulfilled. Tney are awakening to the 'nelan-
cl,uly fact that Logan really has no influence
with tue Washington Administration, and has
nothing to give They perceive the emptiness
Of their victory, and arc even now reneclng up
On the folly Of their course in voting for him.
There is another thing which casts sompFe
shadow over The aspect of affairs at the Capital
tonight, and that is
THE COURSE OF THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
throughout this Senatorial contest. The salary
c7abbers arc vehement in their expressions OF
INDIGNATION thereat. The subject WIS under
discussion this evening at the Leland Hotel,
afrer the arrival Of TIE TRIBUNE, as to the
propriety of calling 4 meeting and formally
reading the paper out OF the party. This fresh
panic was caused by the editorial comments Of
The papeF in question upon the action Of the
caucus last evening, and the unpaatable facts
there stated. It Was proposed to call
meeting, and poss resolutions denouncing the
paper, and advising Republicans throughout tue
State TO drop it. Long Jones, Representative
McFic, and some others recommend this course,
and it is not improbable that such congress
mar be convened some time next week after the
Senatorial election takes place
LONG JONES REMARKED
this morning that THE TRIBUNE was full OF lies,
aud that every Republican in the State should
he advised by the Republican State Central Com
m;ttcc1 in some official way, not to patronlze II.
Should the opposition OF TIE tribune
hereafter result In the defeat Of Logan there is
not the slightest doubt in the world from ap-
pearan:es here this evening that the salary
eraDber's friends will make strong attempt
to compel the decent Republicans OF the State
to take this course They not only want to Kill
Oft the gallant Oglesby, but every Republican
aud alt tue newspapers who support him.
Great curiosity was manifested here to-day to
know what course TIE TRIBUNE would take
under the circumstances, and apprehensions
we're entertained that it would
ADVISE BOLT.
There has been m uneasy feeling existing here
all day among the Logan managers, Who fear
that the biz chief may yet be cheated out Of his
victory by dissatisfied Republicans. Careful
and quiet inquiries have been made in quarters
where information was likely to be collected as
TO what might be expected next from his op-
1onents There is latent feeling OF unrest
which destroys the tranquility and repose OF
those who should hare the greatest cause for
rejoicing on this occasion, and which robs the
apparent victory OF half its pleasure.
THEY FEAR FAEwELL's RETURN
on Monday morning more than anything else
that tan happen, aud arc sreculatinE upon that
subject this evening with mortal dread in
1arir hearts. They seem to be oppressed with
u nightmare Of fears and forebodings, arising
pvrllaps from a consciousness than in slaugh-
tering Oglcsby they have stained the temple Of
Pepublicauism with tue blood of the gre atest
champions Of the party.
SENATOR 0GLEsBT
left the Lelnnd Hotel this morning alone at 10
O'Clock for his home in Decatur, where he. will
remain few days in order to recover from the
uuxcties and the exhaustion incident to the
late struggle. The Senator acquiesces in the
result, though he does not believe BY any means
that he has lost lis hold on the Republican par
u Of the State OF Illinois. While being robbed
vi the victory By party machinery and trickery,
he still has faith in the principles and the party
for which lie has SO long contcnlcd.
In yiew Of the fact that Oslesby may be pos
s;blc candidate for the Governor OF Illinois Two
wears hence, it is said that Cullom is not excess
siyely jublaut over the result OF the caucus last
evening, and that he would not bc at all indig-
1,apt if certain Republican members Of tho
lceislature should bolt the nomination. His
Senatorial dish is rightslde up ready Tor the
shower. -
Ljcut-Goy. Shuman in measure participates
fu the feeling Of indifference as to 1ogan's
SUCCESS.
TIE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS r
1.as been called for Monday evening next By
Luther Dearborn. Chairman Of the Joint Cau-
Gus, II. w. Fuller, Jim Robinson, aud Gen.
Black are mentioned US possible nominees
Kob1nson's chances are somewhat jeopardized
On accoun: of his reputcd connection with the
salary-Eraibers. ..
Logan claims to have received congratulatory
dispatches TO-DAY from Secretary Sherman and
tie President Of the United States. but nobody
has seen them, aud he refuses to show them
even to the representatives Of the newspapers
who have supported hin, through the contest
or to anybody else. The inference is tnat the
Gis2at1ncs are not as complimentary As they
might be- 49,
