Pierce was sent for and upon
ms appearance there was a fine tribute to
AIS popularity. In a very few words he
6tly acknowledged the high honor and
withdrew. The easy nomination of Pierce
was a foregone conclusion, but the Sec
ond man was, and is still, I'M
known. Two ballots were taken, and
'szaen the caucus adjourned. There

Mn the Democratic caucus of thirteen
members ex-Secretary Mccormack was
.conplimented with the nomination for the
Omitted States senate.
At midnight the caucassing indicates that
-Johnson's nomination is very probable.
Walter Muir has withdrawn, and he favors
the election of Johnson. Hankinson says
the bulk of McCumber's strength will go to
johnson when McCunber withdraws. The
field is hunting hard for candidate, but in
vain at this hour.

there will be a probable deficiency tine first
year of $155,870. Bonded Indebtedness is
