GROW FOR SENATOR.


with KsPablicsn voses-The Demo-
cratic Members Vote Solidly
tor Wallace.
The balloting of the two houses Of tho
Pennsylvania Legislature separately for
United States senator yesterday indicated
nothing new or sensational. 1t proved,
however, that the Grow boilers were JUS
titled in thelclaims they had made of their
strength. Fifty five members signed tho
address they issued to their constituents,
vindicating their opposition to Oliver and
fifty-six answered the roll calls with their
ballots for Grow
In the Senate forty. nine of the fifty
members were present Senator Coxe,
(Dem. }, having declined to take the oath.
The sixteen Democrats voted for Wallace,
twenty Republicans for Oliver, and the
twelve following Republicans for Grow
Messrs. Davies, Emery, Everhart, Kauff
man, Lawrence, Lee, cCracken, Seamans,
Sill, Smiley, Stewart, and Thomas: One
Greenbacker voted for ex-Chief Justice
Agnew.
In the House 100 of the POI members
were present, one Democrat and one Rs-
publican having died since the election:
Wallace led the ballot, receiving the u
Democratic votes to Is Republican votes
for Oliver. Grow received A votes from
the following Republicans Messrs. Bra
ham, Britton, J. B. Brown, Derrickson,
Ellis. Emery. George Hardison, Hayes,
Hieriighy, Hills, Hoyer, Hungerford,
Lands, Latouche, Loveland, Lowing,
Maclay, Mapes, Marsh, Mellow
ell, McGifin. Mckee, Milham, Mont
gomery, Morrison, Eclis, Neill, Niles,
Pearce, Perry, Philips, Thomas, Potts, W.
N. Reynolds, Roberts, Silverthorn, Stubbs,
Taggart, Taylor, Tubbs, Tyler, Wayne,
White, Wilson, Wolfe. One Greenback
vote was cast for Henry Carey Baird. kud-
diman (Rep.), of Philadelphia, voted for
Benjamin Harris Brewster, and Law,
Rep.), of Philadelphia, for Wayne Mac:
Veagh. A Democrat facetiously moved
that as Wallace had more votes than any
other candidate he be elected unanimously
The motion was not pressed, but the fact
makes the managers realize how formida'
BILE is the bolt on their hands, with Wallace
only two votes behind Oliver, and Grow
in command of nearly a fourth Of the
whole Legislature and more than third
of the entire Republican strength.
The soliAity Of the Republican factions
has intensified Democratic sOlidity, and
there is very little chance Of getting
enough individual Democratic votes t.
elect Oliver. Grows friends. will not deal
| with the Democrats at all, and for this
reason, as we'll as because the Oliver party
alone arc in condition to deliver any con
sideratioa, the only ch ,ncc Of a comb'na
ton now lies in a bargain of the Cameron
party with the body Of the Democrats
Senator Wallace is much gratified at the
hearty support he received, and is in Har
risburg ready to consider any proposition
looking to the advantage of his party
State Chairman Dill and ex-COngressmar
Stenger are there, and Speaker Randall
has been invited to come Oh for cOnsulta
| tion.
Nothing more decisive than Tuesdays
| vote is expected in the joint Assembly
until possibly by Friday break in thu
lines will occur or settled preparations bt
made for a long siege.
The Senate committees will not he helt
in abeyance long, and Quay says that
Speaker Hewitt cannot hold the House
committees back longer than this week,
even pending the determination of the
senatorial contest. Hewitt processes
to We very apprehensive lest hi
own political future and possibly
that OF others DC injured ny any Lem
ocratic alliance in divers interest, ant
says that as soon as any Democrat vote
for Oliver himself and thirty other Re
publicans will leave him. Senator Wal
lace expresses himself clearly and fOrcibl!
on the situation. He comedies with TIN
general Democratic sentiment expressed
by many local journalists attending tn
state editorial association that the Demo
cratic members should stand firm by thei
own nominee for the present. While th'
Democracy cannot afford to take the re
sponsibility of strengthening the Cameron
machine, the vital force of Rcpublicanisn
in Pennsylvania, neither can they aid thu
anti-caucus element to elect a man who's
requisite is unquestioned devotion to Re
publicanism. II the Grow people, Wallace
says, wish to break up the ring and breal
down the bosses, they must cut up by tn
roots Cameron's power and patronage il
Washington, and when they come with I
man who will aid the Democrats to do tina
by helping them to maintain tho organi
zatiOn of the Senate, it will be tim'
enough for the Democrats to be asked t.
aid real fight against rings aud bosses.
