GALVANIZED CORPSE
Which is the Condition Of the Campaign
for the Defunct Window.
AFTER ALL THE DESPERATE WORK
He Does Not Secure a Single Vote
but Sticks at Fifty-One.
AND FEARS OF THE GANG.
Figuring for a New Candidate, and
All Hands Stick One More Day.

There was a little lull in the senatorial
canvass yesterday, SO far as outward dem
onstration was concerned. 1t was gener-
ally conceded by the leaders of allfactions
that the balloting yesterday would virtu-
ally settle Mr.. WINDOWS fate, and that
unless it resulted in a material swelling of
his vote, his defeat was an accomplished
fact. With this understanding all the
factions entered upon the struggle yester-
day, and when the balIoting closed without
a change in WINDOWS column, his sup
porters, as well as his opponents, recog-
nized and accepted the fact that he was
BEATEN BEYOND QUESTION.
Of course the Boss, or his supporters,
did not say ''we are beaten in so many
words, but their general decentralization
and the absolute disappearance of all that
braggadocia and show of confidence which
they have made play such an i'm
portant part thus far in the can
vas,s proclaimed the fact in unmistakable
terms. Still, the completeness of their de-
feat, compels them to keep up an appar-
ent unbroken front-as in the case of a de-
feated army-while arranging their line of
retreat and mapping out their new posi-
ton either for defensive or often
sive operations. And so, too,
the opposition, operating on different lines,
but with the one object of defeating Win
dom as the first requisite, though having
GAINED THAT POINT,
IL
ments of his supporters, and also of their
power to keep their own forces intact if an
attempt should be made to reap the
fruits of the victory while the Window
forces continue to make show of resis-
| tence, hesitate to move forward. And thus
the opposing forces, one afraid to with
draw and the other to advance, confront
each other, waiting for something to turn
up.
During the afternoonsafter the adjourn
ment of the legislature, and all last even
ing, the Esituation was active
ly canvassed by the leaders
of the different factions. No set caucus
was held but the order was quiet confer
ences, comparison of notes, and discussions
of the probabilities of the future. Along
about o'clock in the afternoon
BOSS WINDOW,
accom- panied by j. P. James, of Mankato
one of his most sycophantic henchmen,
left his eyrie at the Metropolitan, and paid
a visit to the headquarters of the commit
tee of eighteen at the Merchants, with
members of which he remained in con-
ference for couple of hours or more, and
after taking supper with Senator Pillsbury
he returned to the Metropolitan, look
ing decidedly detected. 1t isreported that
the participants in the conference of the
committee of safety gave the Boss to I'M,
derstand that in their opinion, after q most
thorough canvass of members, there
was not the remotest hope for
his election, and that his longer
remaining in the field was surely depriv-
ing them of all chance of naming his sue
cessor, a result which would transfer the
control of the
PARTY MACHINERY
of the state from their hands to that of
the opposition. The Boss, with the recol-
lection of the four last ballots
ffty-one votes---fresh in his
mind, was forced to acknowledge the truth
of the picture drawn, and reluctantly gave
his consent to the withdrawal of his name
whenever his advisers deemed it advisable.
Then the question was preached
as to whom should be set up
as their standard bearer. Upon one
part all were agreed, that they could not
go to any candidate that had been named
by either of the opposing factions; but
that it must be an entirely new man. But
the rub came Gin when the attempt was
made to name the new man,
AS feeler, an enthusiastic adj
mirer, who has before been accused of
leaning that way, mentioned the name of
HON. D. M. sABIN,
but this met with considerable opposition,
one of the conferees going so far as to
say that the talk relative to Mr.. Sabin's
candidacy had done more to demoralize
and disintegrate the Window forces than
ell other causes combined. The name of
John S. Pillsbury was also mentioned, but
this was tabooed with even more
vehemence than in the case of Sabin.
G. D. Gilfllan and Judge Dickinson were
also briefly canvassed, but no agreement
could be reached as to any one named, and
finally it was decided to maintain their
present position another day, and if there
is no evidence of revolt among their
supporters over Friday, they will
attempt to force an adjournment
to the following Tuesday, holding that the
precedent set in the Ramsey canvass will
justify such adjournment, though clearly
in violation of the letter and spirit of
the law. The conferences of
THE OPPOSITION FACTIONS
were equally unproductive of result |
promising an early ending of the
struggle. Each faction recognizes the fact
that there has got to be concentration of
forces eventually, but each is equally con-
WINGED that that concentration cannot be
safely attempted, while the Win
dom forces, though comprising
but one more than one-third
of the legislature, remains intact; And so
the word has been sent along the line to
stick, and stick it will be at least to-day,
unless the Democrats at their conference
