winter. Last evening the storm had
moderated greatly, but still the wind was
| driving the fresh fallen snow through the
air at lively rate-so lively that the
chances for railroad train starting out
being stuck and laying hours in snow
banks we're extremely probable. Had it
been otherwise there is not room for a
doubt that William Window would now be
on his
WAY TO WASHINGTON.
When the GLOBE on Saturday last stated
that Mr.. Window would be out of the sena-
torial contest yesterday, or to-day at
latest, he took occasion in an interview to
deny the truth of that and the connecting
statements as to his withdrawal. The
GLOBE has no desire to add one drop to
Mr.. WINDOWS overlooking cup of sorrow,
but it is due the public, as well as itself,
to now state that the assertions we're made
by the book and were absolutely true.
The denial, as all in Mr.. WINDOWS secret
know, was a bluff made for the sole pur-
pose of holding his supporters together
until an agreement could be reached as
to the one upon whom his mantle should
be bestowed and borne to victory, thus
prospecting the Window Washburn- ills
bury Gilfillan dynasty. But
THE BLUFF
! has had different effect than was init
mated. Among the so-called stickers, as
has been well known, were many who,
while loyal to Window SO long as there
was prospect of his election, were deter
mined not to be made tail to the Wash
burn Gilfillan-P illsbury kite, and finding
that they were being used by him for the
sole purpose of advancing that interest,
came to the conclusion that the time had
come to settle the matter, by forming new
alliances. Thus it happened that the
PROMISED sABIN BOOM,
| the thought of which has been the ibugbear
of the Window camp for days
past, was commenced in good earnest yes
terday, and last evening it was the all alb
sorbing and exciting topic of converse
ton wherever two or three members of the
| legislature were congregated together
There was no regular caucus held by any
of the factions, but wherever one
went, whether the parties comforting
were Window. Wilson. Cole, Dun
nell. Hubbard, Farmer, Start, Davis
Wakefield or Strait men, the refrain was
| the same,
''sABIN, sABIN,"
| coupled with the further statement by
| some enthusiastic workers of the ''boom'
| that 'the Window column will collapse to-
| day and Sabin be chosen senator before
adjournment" While such was the situation
the GLOBE envoy experienced great
difficulty in securing details-all, friends
and enemies of the movement, dealing in
| generalities- friends combining them
selves to the statement that the break
would commence on the first ballot, and
that enough members had been pledged to
| join the movement to force an election
during the day. The opponents of the move
especially those of WINDOWS supporters
who had not gone into it, would say little
of anything beyond the brief statement
but how formidable it would prove they
had no means of Judging. The anxious, care
worn and hopeless expression of the counte-
nances of J. B. Gilfillan, Charley Pillsbury,
ct al, of that throng of fifty-one who so
valiantly resolved to stick and elect Win
dom, belied their words, and showed that
they appreciated the fact that they had
met
1HEIR WATERLOO.
Of the entire gang, Mart Chan
dler alone could crack smile
and talk hopefully, but as Mart would do
the same on his death bed, persisting as
long as he could muster strength that he
was improving and would get well, he
ought to be forgiven for Dragging and
holding false hopes during the expir-
ing moments of the Boss.
According to Mart the sit
uation is altogether lovely, just what
Window and his friends have been work
ing for. $50 long as the different factions
adhered to their respective fayorites," he
said, ''there was no chance for Window to
gain any, but the break in the Window
column for Sabin will extend to the
other factions, but mark my
word for it, not in sufficient numbers to
elect him, and when this fact is disclosed,
as it will be in
THREE BALLOTS AT THE FARTHEsT,
those who Qhave gone to him will
drift back to the only man
that can be elected, the choice
of nine-tenths of the Republican
party of The state, William Window" And
as he wound up his very hopeful diagnosis
of the outcome of the break. Mart smiled
and looked satisfied, just as if he believed.
But do what he could he could not infuse
ane of his hopefulness into the
breasts of his former associates who
roamed about the lobby of the hotels
wearing an expression of countenance that
told that the arrow had struck home, and
that they recognized that defeat
MOST HUMILIATING DEFEAT,
awaited them. The ants, too, were con-
siderably broken up and largely atsea as to
their policy, and what would be the result.
Among all the strong factions were found
some who were outspoken in commencing
the break, and freely stating their inten-
ton to help it along. One party met
