The Ohio Senatorial Contest.

One of tho leading topics in the city last
night was the Senatorial election in Ohio. The
Republican caucus will be held tonight, and
tho friends of Garfield and Stanley Matthews
who seem now to be the leading candidates
are eagerly discussing tho chances of their ia.
voritcs. Persons recently from tho scene OF
action in the Buckeye State are much sought
after, and their words of prophetic wisdom as
eagerly devoured. One of the most prominent
Ohioans hore now is tho Hon. Isaac Morton
of Guernsey county, who was the Republican
candidate against Hon. Gibson Atherton when
that gentleman was elected to Congress. Meet.
ing the Hon. Isaac last night, The NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN asked:
"Wliat about the Senatorial election IN
Ohio"
81 think" said the Hon. Isaac, as he placed
one hand under his chin, and gently strolSed
his dowuy cheek with the other, that Gar
field will be nopinated. 1t may be on the
first ballot. If it comes to u second ballot, and
he should be defeated, that will, in my opin-
ion, end his race"
"Thon what"
"Thon, In my Judgment, Stanley Matthew'S
will get the nomination, With Garfield out
Of the field, the natural tendency of all sensi-
bio Republicans will be toward Stanley Mat
thews, whom the majority of the people of tho
State of Ohio consider tho equal, If not the
superior intellectually, of any man in the
State. But guess you had better not inter.
Wow me-" said Mr., Morton, rs no turned the
tide of conversation toward more congenial
topics.
This is about the drift of opinion as It can
bo CLEANED from the few Republicans of prom
inenco from Ohio now in the city. The senti-
meut in favor of Matthews seems to have
strengthened very considerably rs the de-
cislon of the Senatorial succession approaches.
From this distance it is impossible to under
stand why General Garacld's chances of sue
cess depend upon his securing the prize upon
the first ballot but certain 1t is that many of
his best friends will be nervous about his sue
ccss unless the nomination is decided in his
favor before the strength of the other candi.
dates can be crystallized into u working force
for Matthews.

Referring to the report which he made In

and sees now that they were mslod and drawn
into u course which produced results now so
greatly regretted by all II was not how

A deputation from the local colorcd temper
anCe societies presented an address 10 General

Important Land Title Decision.

TOPEKA, KAN, jan 5-The Supreme court
to-day filed an opinion in the celebrated Potta-
wattomie Indian title case. The docket showed
that 1t was the case of George w. Soule against
the settlers of Rossville, but in reality Ross.

interested, whose titles are confirmed by this

Shawnee, Pottawattomie and Wabaunsee coun-

Judge Moran, of the District court, decided
against the settlers about two years ago, and

in the city. From tho expressions Of opinion
gathered from number Of the leaders of tho
majority 1t would seem to be their intention
to go actively to work upon the real business
of the session.
Judge Buckner, chairman of the Committee
on Banking and Currency of the House, says
that his committee will probably get tho ilnan-
cal legislation into the House very soon after
the reassemblinR. Mr.. Bayard intends to get
bis resolution before the Senate at the earliest
date possible. 1t now seems likely that these
| two antagonistic resolutions upon the financial
! questionable ono condemniug and the other
emphasizing the Presidenps recommendations
upon that question-will be before the respect
i've bodies into which they were introduced at
about the same time. The feeling upon this
important matter has not materially changed
since these measures were introduced, and IL
still looks as though tho resolutions condemn
ing the Presidents recommendation for the
destruction of tho legal.tender quality of the
grccnhacR and the reduction Of its volume
$4,000 O00-wll be passed by both Houses. 1t
also seems likely, from tho expression of Mr..
Springer, that two or three contested election
cases will be before the House at a very early
day.
Judging from the action Of the committee
In the case of McCabc against Orth, where all
law and precedent has been violated several
times in giving MoCabo additional time in
which to manufacture q case, these cases are
to be pushed for the purpose of unseating Re-
publicaus, so that the slender majority which
the Democrats now have may DO increased for
partisan purposes. Immediately upon the
opening the Ute problem will como up for
disposition, and will bo likely to provoke an
extended discussion. 1t will be the effort of
the Democrats to prevent anything like parti-
sau discussion if possible, but the deficiency
appropriation bill providing for the fees and
expenses of United States marshuls, which
were left unprovided for at the end of last
session, will be one OF the very first measures
presented, and unless the Democrats are pre-
pared to back down from the position they
took during the extra session, those issues will
bo renewed and the same questions presented
that provoked all the partisan discussion then.
| While the general policy of the Republicans
will be mastery inactivity" permitting the
mai iority to take tho initiative upon all parti-
san questions, they nevertheless expect to
combat with as much force as ever any assault
upon tho Federal election law or the machinery
which makes it effective.
During the present week the army, Indian
aud District Of Columbia appropriation bills
will be presented in the House. The other
bills, on account of the sickness of Chairman
Atkins, of the Appropriation Committee, are
worry incomplete, and cannot be ready for in
PRODUCTION for some time yet.
The consideration of the new rules for the
House of Representatives will occupy u great
deal of the time of the House until they are
