On the first ballot Judge Holman, whose
position has heretofore been unknown de-
ined il by voting tor Springer.
The contest has lost none Of its inter-
est within the last twenty-tour hours.
Since the adjournment of the caucus
last night a few minutes before mid
night more than one member Of con-
greSs has forgotten sleep or rest in the
tireleSS struggle to promote the success
OF his favOrite candidates.
Tonight finds but little change in the
relative strength of the various candi-
dates. Dozens OF combinations have
been attempted, but they have general
ly fallen to the ground because of the
general conviction OF the minor can
didates that they hold the balance Of
power and that all trades and COM
promises should be rejected
Enormous pleasure has all day been
brought to bear upon the followers Of
Springer, McMillen and Hatch by the
two leading candidates in the effort TO
win aCcesSions from their ranks, but
they have signallY failed, if the state
ments of the minor candidates them
selves are TO be relied upon.
II have seventeen followers, who
will stick resOlutely to me to the end, "
said Mr.. Springer, tonight, ''and have
confident expectation of materially in
creaSing this following early in ballot
ing tomorrow All talk about combin-
ations or Withdrawals is ridiculous so
far as l am concerned.
'YOu may say" said Mr.. McMillin,
cheerfully. ''that am in this fight un-
til a Speaker is elected. have to-day
received not only renewed assurances Of
the support OF those who stood by me
through Yesterdays cause. but also
promises Of support from dozens OF 9TH
er gentlemen who are 20 come 10 me OS
their second choice when convinced of
the inability OF their favorite candidate
10 win"
No candidate eau make combina-
tion with me, said Mr.. Hatch, Il am
in this fight to win, not to trade. ex-
pect an increased vote on the first and
all succeeding ballots tomorrow"
