LIT OHIO DEMOCRATS WRITE THB RECORD
OF THEIR VOTES
Contention for Secret Ballot in Caueus-A Warm
Dispute Nay Arise Candidates Hold
hg Their Ground -B0okwal-
ter WithdrawS

COLUMBUS, O., Jsnuary THE contest
for the Senate has shown no material
change to-day except in the way of unsup-
ported claims in behalf of the respective
aud leading candidates, Messrs. Brice,
Thomas snd MaMshon. The managers
for Mr.. Brice claim they have sufficient
strength to secure the nomination on el-
most aay ballot they desire, the second be-
ing most frequently mentioned. Mr.. Nc
Mahon does not concede the claims of
strength for Brics and is still hopeful
There is a general surface impression
among those who have watched the contest
that Brice will be the nominee of the eau
Gus to bs held 7. ursday evening. F. L
New, who was here in the interest of
Thomas and returned home, has come
back to deny that he had abandoned Mr..
Thomas.
OPEN OR SECRET BALLOT.
There is apparently well founded Tu
NOR which comes through reliable chan
nels, indicating trouble over the question
of an open caucus. There is q difference
Of opinion or the point, snd there are gentle
men who do not want 20 sho Y their hand.
While they do not object to an open
caucus, they insist on q secret ballot
Others insist on an open caucus and vote
by roll call 20 that every man may be re.
corded, so earnest is the demand for this
that about twenty members claim to have
reached quiet understanding and re-
solved that they will not 20 into the eau
Gus unless the ballet is public and the
members 90 on record as to their senator
isl preference. An effort is being made to
get declaration but one of those in the
movement said this afternoon that he in
tended to stand for an open ballot, despite !
the desire of some to make bluff with |
open door and secret ballot.
CLEVELAND NOT IN IT.
Amorg the literature which has appear
ed to-day, is letter purpOrting to be from
ex-President Cleveland, in which he de-
nies taken any hand in the contest, in be-
half of any one and that he has not been
ssked 10 do so by any candidate. He ex-
presses the opinion that the Democratic
members are capable of selecting Senator
without outside interference. A letter is
also published purpOrting 70 have been
written by son of candidate Thomas in
which he endeavors 10 sscure a members
vote and services in behalf OF Thomas,
and says he will be remunersted 10 any
proper way.

The Nonpariel Had the Best Of the Battle
From the Start.

OVcr S,OOO spectators witnessed the
Mnl-McCarthy's Attacks Herc Wicked
but Dempsey Was Too Quick for Him.
Billy Mahan Whips Jimmy Grimth.
Kilrain Explains His Defeat.
SAN FHANcIsCo, Feb. 19.-Jack Demp.
sey and Billy Mccarthy, the Austria
liam, met in the ring at the California
Club last night
The fight was for the purse of $1,000.
and, as anticipat ted, it was 4 hard bat
tie. Dempsey had been tho favorite at
500 to go, but Mccarthy, who is the
middle weight champion of Australia,
had shown such hitting powers and
pugillstic skill in his former com bats
that lie had many hackers.
Dempsey's second appearance in the
California Club ring drew great crowd
to the building on New Montgomery
and Howard streets. He was defeated
| by La Blanch there last year, and it
was confidently expected by himself
| and his friends that he would retrieve
his reputation in this fight.
He said before the fight that he felt
| in good condition, although he had
| been for time laboring with the
grip. Rumors that Dempsey's lungs
| were affected had encouraged Nc
Carthy's admirers.
Dempsey weighed lax pounds. and
| Mccarthy by vigorous training had
| managed to got down to 15ljs, though
his best fighting weight is 100.
OF the purse, 81. 500 was to 60 to the
winner, and $500 to the loser.
| Hiram Il. Cooke, deputy auditor of
| this city, acted as referee. He has
otiiciated as referee at all of the clubs
big prize fights, being the most compe.
tent man that could be found.
| In, 1n1 Of thn ohor
trivance which serves as an accurate
timekeeper, sounded at $3.50 o'clock, and
| the first round began.
Round both came mimi bly, to the
| scratch. Mccarthy at once became the
aggressor, following Dempsey into the
| corners in his awkward, crouchina
style. Dempsey did not appear to b.
bothered any.
Round 2.-McCarthy again pressed
Dempsey, hawever, got his right home
on thu Australians jaw in old time
style, swinging half way around time
| and time again.
| Round 3.-McCarthy again came on
but was met with right-hander on thu
mouth, however, and moment late
got in a hot uppercut on Jacks mouth
Just before the call of time McCarth!
got in another hot one on Dempsey
wind.
Round 4.-McCarthy seemed anxious
to work Jack into corners and keep hin
moving lively. Dempsey's quick foo
movements and cleverness in ducking
saved him from many we'll mean
blows.
Up to the eleventh round both mel
seemed to be as strong as at the start
Dempsey allowed Mccarthy to wall
him around the ring several times
When the latter least expected it h
found the Nonpareil's fist against hi
jaw or body. A terrific right-hande
from Dempsey on the Australian
throat closed the round.
From this point up to the twenty
sixth round it was red-hot fighting
with the odds in favor of the Brookly
boy. In the twenty-sighth roun
Dempsey got in the Knockout blow.
