ROBABLY A DEADLOCK.
Both the North and tho South STAND

| Firm.
BotsE CRY, Idaho, Dec. 1G.-Tho
| Southern Idaho crowd are advancing
the absurd declaration that the letter
signed by Hon. w. II. Clngett w. J.
Mcconnell and J. K. Dolamar, and ad-
dressed to Hon. Fred Il. Dubois and
Governor George l.. Shoup. and other
actions OF the first three named gentle
men, indicate that they have entered
into an arrangement to elect themselves
as the three senators TO the exclusion OF
both Dubois and Shoup
The position Of Mr.. Dubois and Gov
ernor Shoup remains unchanged. Their
friends in the legislature fully indorse
their stand. They arc willing,
they say, that tho three senators
shall be Mr. Clagett, Governor
Shoup and MIR. Dubois, Mr.. Du-
bois to have tho term commencing
the 4th OF March next and Messrs. Clag-
EFT and Shoup to draw for the remaining
terms. Supporters Of the South Idaho
candidates say the ballot to-day has
greatly strengthened this position, as it
demonstrated that Governor Shoup and
MIR. Dubois together have 20 out Of A
republican votes, and that Dubois has
as many votes as any other two ropubli-
can candidates. 1t is also claimed that
both Shoup and DUBOIS have friends
among those who did not vote for either
ofthem on the first ballot. They also
claim that the fairness and business OF
the proposed arrangement for tho cleo
tion OF the three senator's for tho terms
and in the manner indicated, aud the re-
fusal of Judge Clagott and Mr. McCon-
nell to submit their claims to n caucus
Of republican members, Is having the ef-
feet of solidilying public sentiment in
favor OF Dubois and Shoup.
There is no possible way to defeat
Mr.. Dubois except bya combination of
the opposition with the democrats. The
attempt which has been kept up for
months to create breach between
Dubois and Shoup has proved an abso-
lutte failure. While IL Is the de-
sire OF their friends that Judge
Clagett be elected one of the
senators, II Is by no means improbable
that If he continues to demand either the
long term for himself or the defeat of
Governor jhoup or Mr.. Dubois that
another northern senator will be elected.
Judge Clagetts position is taat either
be or another northern man must have
a six-year term, and that only two soma
tors be selected now, he to be one of
them, and the senator who draws the
short term shall be reelected. He
claims that any other proposition would
be unfair to the north.
There was intense interest in the
legislature to-day, it being the first bal
loting to elect United States senators.
All the available space in the repre-
sentatives' hall was occupied by throng
of citizens anxious TO witness the pro-
| ceedings.
Promptly at noon the balloting COM
menoed, with the result as follows:
