MR.. HYDE lS0UT.
Squire and Allen Well in
the Lead.
THEIR ELECTION IS ASSURED
Unless Some Unforeseen Com
bination Is Made.
THE SPOKANE DELEGATION CAUCUS.
Judge Turner Now in the Field
as an Active Candidate
The Situation.
THE SPOKANE DELEGATION CAUCUS

OLYMPIA, Nov. Sunless combina-
tion, of which there are no Indications,
arises, Watson c. Squire of Seattle and
John b. Allen of Walla Walla will be
Washington's first United states sena-
tors. Their election OH the first ballot
is assured. Squire has sixty votes
pledged to him and Allen has sixty
Both are eager for the fray, and don't t
care how soon the balloting begins, while
the others want to hold off US long as
possible, for time is precious to them.
The talk tonight is about the with
drawal of Hyde from the contest and
the succession of Turner, his rival to the
good graces of the Spokane delegation.
The Spokane men held caucus this
afternoon and Turner came before them
armed with, paper containing the
names of those who bad pledged
themselves to his support. 1t
was signed by the full republican
delegations from Kliokitat, Yakima
Kittitas, Douglas, Okanogan and Ste
vens, the joint senator from Stevens and
Spokane and the democratic representa-
tive from Franklin county. That gave
him fourteen votes and sealed Hyde's
doom. The Spokane delegation came
here instructed by their county conven-
tion to unite for the Spokane man devel-
oping the most strength. Outside of his
county yesterday Hyde showed follow
ing of ten votes in Western Washington,
and as Turner could not make AS good a
showing the delegation declared for
HYDE. When Turner reversed the tables
this afternoon there was nothing to dc
but to pledge the nine votes of the dele
CATION for him. A committee was sp'
pointed to notify Hyde of the action OF
the delegation, when Hyde Immediately
Withdrew in favor of Turner, who begins
his battle with twenty three votes. One
of his friends claims eight of the King
county delegation.
eve are going to work hard to elect
Judge Turner" said Spokane man.
"It has been charged against Spokane
that she seeks too many places, and that
having tho member Of congress she
ought to be satisfied. Our answer to
that is that Spokane is the chief com
inerciai center of Eastern Washington,
and is entitled to all she can get"
Previous to the announcement of the
formal Withdrawal of Hyde, il became
noised about town that he had pulled
out and thrown his strength for Squire
who promised to secure his appointment
as United States circuit judge, for which
Strove of Seattle is also a candidate
When asked about this Mr.. Hyde shook
his head.
"There is nothing in it," he said, and
added that he had made considerable
accessions during the day, and hi:
chances were as good as those of any
man in the race.
Colonel Feighan of the Spokane dele
CATION said Hyde was in the fight tc
stay.
'If Hyde withdrsws will his support
20 to Brents or Allen?"
There is positively no possibility o
he withdrawal, but in case he does draw
ont, the Spokane delegation could b.
solidified for no man but Judge Turner

WILL THEY VOTE To-DAye
1t Is Doubtful if Organization VIII
BE Perfected,

The topic of discussion tonight is
whether ballot will be taken to.
morrow. IT is doubtful If either house
will et'ect permanent organization to-
morrow afternoon. The senate is in a
nebulous state, but the house is in a
little better fix. A ballot can not be
taken until both houses are ready for the
transaction of business.
The republican members of the house
held caucus tonight to agree upon
permanent officers. Herrons mo-
tiSn 10 proceed to business was
promptly laid on the table, and
the meeting adjourned without do
ing anything. Governor Ferry still
maintains that the legislature will have
to adjourn after electing United States
senators.
The vote on the temporary speaker
ship Of the house to-day showed that
Heron held the balance of power for the
permanent place. He received twenty
two votes, part of which belonged to
Gcoghegan. There is talk of a combina-
tion between Geoghegan and Heron. If
they unite they can defeat Feighan.

COLUMBUS, Nov. 6.-The republican
state committee at r. NJ. comedies the
election Of Campbell and admits the leg
lslature TO be democratic in both
branches. Governor Foraker has tele-
graphed congratulations to Campbell.
AT CLEVELAND.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov.6.--The republl-
cans in Cleveland are in retirement this
evening Foraker was from 500 to 1900
votes behind his ticket hereabouts and
in fact he was cut by republicans in
nearly every one OF the 100 precincts in
this county. Late this evening the i'm
preston prevails here that the demo-
Gratis have a majority of two in the
house of representatives and possibly u
majority of two in the senate. If this
should prove to be the case Il democrat
will succeed Henry b. Payne, also q
democrat, in the senate of the United

SURELY DEMOCRATIC.
The Republicans Rave About Absn-
doned All Hone,

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 6.-Thc dem
oCratic state committee is claiming the
election of Campbell by a plurality of
II, 600 to IL, 900, and the rest of the ticket
by pluralities ranging from 1000 to 5000.
These conclusions are reached from
meeger returns and mostly by estimates,
but are believed to be reliable within the
range of the pluralities which are given.
The republican committee has nothing
which can be relied upon to the con-
trary.
Both committees and chairmen seem
TO be agreed that the democrats will
carry both branches of the legislature.
Governor Foraker was asked this even
causes which led to the result, and he
said:
IL greatly regret the result, Of course,
but | have no complaint to make of any
body or anything. | have no time or
disposition to discuss the causes. The

THE GOVERNOR TALKS.
Governor-Eiect Ferry Also Expresses
His Views at Length.

His Views at Length.
Governor Moore was seen shortly
after hearing from President Harrison
and asked his opinion.
"The administration regards the meet
ing of the legislature and election Of
United States senators as a legal pro-
ceeding," he said. Now the question
arises, who is to call the Legislature to-
gother? | have no authority TO issue
proclamation, and will take no step IN
the premises. Governor-elect Ferry has
no authority. The legislature will meet
under the provisions OF the constitution.
but the constitution is not the law Of
the land yct."
"Will you send message to the legis-
lature2' was asked.
II shall have no message 10 transmit"
was the governor answer.
Goyernor-elect Ferry came In Tor
talk with Governor Moore while the re-
porter was present, and his opinion was
asked.
~ fear President Harrison has over
looked Governor Moore's certificate
which accompanied the pamphlet copies
of the constitution" he answered. II
still have hope of hearing from him on
this point. 1t seems to be President
Harrisons idea that the Legislature may
meet and elect senators in advance OF
his proclamation. Very we'll, but that is
all the legislature can do. 1t can not
enact laws, for lift does every law passed
will be attacked in every county In the
state, and there will be no end OF litiga-
tion. After the election OF senators the
legislature must adjourn sine die and go
on record ~ q session without
anything being done in the way
of making new laws The legislature
could not meet again in
regular session until January, 1891, un-
loss convene it In special session, and
state in my proclamation the emergency
for such special session, and enur.erate
the business to which il must confine it
self. The first session which is to con-
ycne tomorrow is not limited to time.
We expected 1t to last between four and
five months, AS the new state requires
much legislation. All other sessions OF
the legislature are limited to sixty days
so you see the importance of preventing
"a session. After electing senators, the
legislature, having met under the pro
visions OF the enabling act, can not ad-
iourn to meet when the constitution be-
comes operative, which 1t Will when the
proclamation Is issued. When 1t ad-
journs IL Is in my power to convene u 10
hx time when a regular session shall
be held. 1t may fix the following day as
the time, and meet that day and proceed
TO business"
"if Tho legislature meets tomorrow
and elects senators will you sign their
certificates of electionp" was asked.
Il shall, most assuredly," was his
answer, -
The muddled condition of affairs Is
giving rise TO an interesting discussion
on the senatorial subject. The United
States constitution says each state shall
be entitled To two senators, to be elected
by the Legislature thereof Section D.
article 1, of the constitution says:
THE time, places and manner of hold
ing elections for senators and represent
atives shall he prescribed In each state
by the Legislature thereof, bat the con-
gress may at any time by law make oi
alter such regulations except as to place
| and AS to choosing senator's"

Geoghegan Vancouver in second place.
A good est nate OF his strength is about

strength is placed at ten. Geoghegan
developed new strength in Middle
Washington to-day, and is confident.
He says the Columbia river counties are

afternoon that Feighan had been offered
the chairmanship of the Judiciary COM
mittee OF the house if he Withdrew in
Geoghegan's favor.
Heron meets with opposition from

MR.HYDE is VERY SORE
Charges of Underhand Work
by Spokane Members.
A STATEMENT OF The FACTS.
The Delegation Is Not Pledged to
the Support of Judge
Turner.

OLYMPIA, Wash, Nov. 6.-There was
some underhand work done by members
of the Spokane Delegation in announc-
ing the withdrawal Of Mr.. Hyde. After
the caucus had adjourned Senator'S
Houghton and Van Houten furnished
the reporters with the proceedings of tho
meeting, and with Mr.. llidpath of Spo-
kane notified Judge Turner accordingly.
They said also that Hyde had voluntari-
ly withdrawn. Hyde did not hear of the
matter until nearly IL o'clock tonight.
He was feeling very sore, and though he
would not say he had been unfairly
treated, he intimated as much.
"My declination has been in the hands
of the delegation. with authority to ac-
cept 1t when they saw fit. This action
has astounded me-"
The other members Of the delegation
were incensed when they heard how the
news of Hyde's Withdrawal had got out.
They declared that Turner had not ap-
peared before the whole delegation.
Then they prepared an official statement
OF the facts, and started man out TO
furnish the reporters a copy of 1t. Mr..
Hyde approved 1t. Here 1t is:
rs. O. Hyde has withdrawn from the
senatorial race in the interest of h harmony
in the republican party. The Spokane
delegation is left entirely free, and is
not pledged to Judge Turner, or any
other candidate, but will vote as their
individual preferences may dictate"

ALLEN Is CONFIDENT.

Enthusiasm and confidence prevail at
John B. Aliens headquarters, where
Aliens election is claimed on the first
ballot. II Is also claimed that he will
be the first senator elected. Allen Is
pushing the fight vigorously and keep
ing aioof from combinations. He said
this afternoon that he had not and
would not under any consideration enter
into a bargain. Allen does not think
the other Eastern Washington candi-
dates can combine against him with any
effect. He has sixty-tive votes pledged
to him, leaving forty votes to be divided
among his rivals.
Senator Thompson of Walla Walla os-
timatss Aliens strength at from sixty
five TO seventy-on votes. He says the
situation in Western Washington is not
so clearly defined as II is east of the
mountains.
An Eastern Washington senator said
tonight that Hnshes, Grant and Rine.
hart wero the only King county men
pledged to support Allen. A close friend
OF Governor Squire's said tonight that
Allen would have ten votes in King.
