claimed by the anti-Fair interest
that there was no quorum.
1t has been supposed that Adolph

CARSON, Jan 7th.-This evening
Sutro announced that he was out
of the Senatorial fight, dism issed
his forces, gave up his rooms at the
Ormsby and went to spend Sunday
at his residence in Sutro. His
withdrawal occasioned immense
disgust among the lobbyists. His
change OF progra m me was caused
by inside information, which he
received from enemies in the
camp, showing decided strength
on the part of Fair.
