for the Democrats.
To show the extent of the Republican bolt
ing over the caucus nominations, we repro
duce the following from the Columbus cor
respondence to the Bee:
The thirteen club of the senate that played
in such great luck Saturday night and ground
out caucus nominees with facility that
enraged their colleagues, were completely
routed to-day. The II members not in the
combination held a meeting yesterday and
decided not to support the caucus nominees.
agreed to support slate fixed by the
minority if they would give them one clerk.
This was agreed upon, and the. Democrats
decided upon Henry L. Karte, of GAINESVILLE,
ex-secretary of the Democratic exective COM
mittee, for recording clerk.
The senate was called to order at 10 o'clock
by Mr.. Nortley, of Coshocton, a Democrat
and the Oldest member. The combination
was taken completely by surprise when T, F.
Davis, of Washington, was nominated for
president pro tenn, and, when they saw he
was elected, were astonished.
A motion was made to adjourn before the
vote was announced, but the combination
was routed in the move, and when Mr.. Davis
was sworn in they greeted him with round
of hisses, The rest of the slate made be the
minority went thorough with whirl. Hayes
was knocked out for chief clerk, and Judge
Lowry substituted. John F. Brown, the
caucus nominee for journal clerk. was defeat
ed by Walter 8. Thomas. colored, of this
city. Dan. w. Flanner had no opposition
for message clerk. Miss Belle Hanford, Of
Ashland, was elected engrossing clerk. For
enrolling clerk, Mrs. r. G. Halliday, the
combination candidate, was defeated by Miss
Matte Kumler, of Cincinnati. For record
ing clerk HI. Il. Karte, of GAINESVILLE, defeat
bed Miss Mary Manson, of Summit county.
Dayton w. Glenn, of Cleveland, the caucus
nominee for sergeant -at-arms, was saved
from the wreck. For first assistant Capt. A..
d. Henry, the combination candidate, was
defeated by j. G. Glover, of Harrison. Evan
Evans, of Hamilton, the combination candi-
date, was elected third assistant.
Messrs. Geyser and Carlin, the senators
from the Toledo district, were especially
active in forming the combination against
the slate. In the house the caucus nominees
were elected, and nothing occurred to mai
the proceedings.
