REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Hovey Nominal To Receive the Compli-
mentary Vote tor U. > senator.

Hovey Nominal To receive the Compu-
mentary Vote tor U. Senator.
Forty republican members met at the
supreme courtroom last night at s o'clock
for the purpose of naming a candidate to
receive the complimentary vote for .. s.
senator today. 1t was the most di-
minutive caucus ever held by
one OF the leading political parties
in the state. What they lacked
in numbers they made up in discord.
The caucus was in session two hours.
The corridors were crowded by local Ie-
publicans waiting for returns" Long
after their patience had been exhausted
Senator Hays came out and announced
that Governor Hovey had been nomi-
mated. Not cheer was sent
up by the crowd. "Oh -"
exclaimed q mail-carrier who stood lean
ing against a pillar. The door OF the
supreme court was then thrown open and
the crowd waited to enter and wait for the
arrival of Governor Hovey, who had been
sent for to make a speech. Only few
entered After a long recess Governor
Hovey arrived, escorted by Assistant Gov
ernor Roberts Gen GroSe, the chair
man of the caucus, introduced him.
81 have been honored before, both
in civil life and on the battle
fild, but the honor which you have just
conferred upon me is the greatest one l
have ever received. / shall try to in the
future, as l have done in the past, serve
my country faithfully. | thank you.
Goodnight" That was all the governor
said in accepting the nomination. He
then took his position by the
door with Assistant Roberts by his side.
AS the members passed out he received a
few congratulations. Representative
Lindemuth and others refused TO extend
their hands as they passed by.
Only two candidates were put in nomi-
nation, Governor Hovey and G. w. Fair
banks. Three ballots we're taken. On
the first ballot Hovey received twenty
votes, Fairbanks fourteen, Huston
three, Butler two, CumbacS one.
The second ballot stood: Hovey, l91
Fairbanks, 171 Huston, l, Butler, /.
On the third ballot Governor Hovey was
nominated, receiving 22 votes to Fair
banks Is.
The nomination of Hovey was a great
surprise to the Gresham men as well as
the administration men. Up to noon the
friends of Fairbanks were confident;
but then kilograms from all parts OF the
state began to accumulate upon the re-
publican members desks imploring them
not to vote for Fairbanks because he was
a corporation lawyer. These telegrams
were signed by alleged workingmen, and
it is charged that this scheme was sprung
upon the caucus by Private Secretary
Roberts. Ever since the legislature met
Mr. Roberts has been working all sorts of
clap-trap schemes to capture votes for his
boss. The thirteen worlds fair commits
sioners have all been promised in ex-
change for votes. Michener was really a
candidate up to Sunday night Bruce
Carr and Lafollette. after hard work with
the members, could do no better than Sc
cure seven votes for Mchener, and so
they wired him Sunday night that 1t
would be useless to present his name

is in accordance with an act passed by
congress July 26, 1866. As Senator Voor-
hees will receive majority OF each house

helm, Harrell, Faulkner and Beauchamp
and Lee OF Vigo. In the senate the nomi-
mating speech will probably be made by
Senator Grimes of VIgo, while Messrs.
Magee, Burke and Others will make sec
onding speeches.
Representative Morris will present the
name of Governor Hovey in the house,
and speeches viii be made by Messrs.
Lindemuth, Gutherie and others. He will

WASHINGTON. ID. G.. JAN. 10.

WAsHINGTON, ID. C.. JAS. 19.
Before the Raum investigating commit
tee Mr.. Cooper forced the assistant secre-
tary of the interior, Gen. Bussey, to admit
that he was a stockholder in the Raum
refrigerating company; that he paid
nothing for his stock but lent his aid and
influence in organizing the company.
Bussey said he took the stock without
hesitation because of the standing Of Gen.
Raum.
Miss Carrie Rush, the typewriter, ad-
mitted that her former statement was in
correct; that she had done other work for
the refrigerating company, and left the
stand after having impressed all who
heard her that she had made a great eff
fort TO save Raum and at the same time to
commit as little perjury as possible. If
Raum is saved by her testimony it will be
similar to the case OF perjury that saved
him when he was commissioner of inter-
nal revenue. Green B. Raum, jr., had
to admit that a man named O'Donnell
that he appointed messenger in the pen
sion office at a salary of so per month
had done nothing else since May but take
care Of two saddle horses belonging to
him (Raumi. The investigation will be
continued Thursday
The Raum investigation was resumed
this morning Assistant Secretary Bus-ey
of the interior department testified that
he did not now have and never did nave
any interest in the refrigerating company.
Mr.. Raum once asked him to allow the
use OF his name in organizing company
In order TO comply with the new law. and,
believing Commissioner Raum to be
thOroughlyreputable man, he had no hest
tation in attending a meeting at AleXan-
dria, at which company was organized.
He did not intend to be a sSockholdeT,
and so far as he knew no stock had ever
been assigned 10 him.
Bradley Tanner, Commissioner Raum's
private secretary. testified that he was
secretary and treasurer of the District OF
Columbia refrigerator company, OF which
the Universal refrigera ing company is the
parent company. No ock had ever been
issued. TIE incorporators were Com mis-
sioner Raum, Mr.. Bussey, Hallett Kill
bourn, Joseph Tyssowski, Richard w. Ty-
Ter and himself Green b. Raum, jr.,
was asked by Mr.. Cooper the name of the
man who took care of his horses. He re-
piled that his name was O'Dounell, and
when asked If the man was in the pension
office said: That's none Of your busi-
ness"
The committee admitted the questions
and Mr.. Raum stated that O'Donnell was
a mes enger in the pension office at so
month. He had been appointed by wit
ness father. O'DOnnell did his duty and
attended to witness two riding horses
after Office hours, for which witness paid
him. He refused to tell the compensa-
tiOn, saying it was none of Mr.. Cooper's
business. Adjourned until Thursday.

WARDEN MURDOCH TALKS.
His Hands Are Glenn and He Courts an
Investigation.

Warden Murdock of the northern prison
was seen at the Grand hotel last evening
and talked freely about the attack made
upon him by Governor Hovey. He said:
Il am ready to meet an investigation, and
have been ready every moment since /
was warden OF the prison. l have con-
Quoted the affairs Of that institution ever
since became the head of il upon strict
business principles, and just as / would
have managed my own affairs. Every
charge made against me, whether by the
governor or in the public pres, in 80 far
as it implies any dishonesty or sharp
practice on my part, is abso-
lutely false. Ali my bank books,
checks, accounts, papers and vouchers are
at the disposal OF any committee tnat may
be sent to the prison. | am ready to sub
nit my official record to the closest scru-
tiny of fair men of whatever party, and 10
abide by their judgment. If / have vio-
lated the law in any way the violation has
been purely technical, in accordance with
the practices of my predecessors, and not
for any personal advantage. In some
matters a rigid compliance with the letter
OF the law would have been detrimental
to the Interests of the state; in fact, could
only have resulted in the impairment OF
discipline and the loss of thousands of
dollars to the state. l have
fed the prisoners well, have
abolished cruel and inhuman punishment,

no competent architect on earth will say

year on the operations OF the prison, and
have never proited to the extent of a
penny on any contract made by me in my
official capacity. My hands are absolutely

doubt convicts or eX-cOnyicts can be

THE COMMISSION is WRONG.
A Very Liberal Roasting for the Worlds
Fair COmmission.


Representative Chandler, chairman of
the select committee on the Worlds fair
today presented to the house the report of
the subcommittee that went to Chicago
TO examine into the condition OF matters
there in relation to the Worlds fair. The
report saws that in the expenditure of
public money the powers assumed by the
Worlds Co umbian commission had pro-
duced conlus on, as well as caused un-
necessary expenditure OF public money.
which had been intended by congress TO
pay the expenses of the govern
ment exhibit, and not to pay ex-
cessive salaries to the officers
OF the commission. Provision, the report
says, had been made to pay the president,
secretary and director general annual
salaries of Sl2, 600, $4,000 and $4,000 re-
spectively, and also $1,000 to the vice
chairman of the executive committee.
These salaries, in the opinion of the com
mittee, are excessive and should not be
continued. Excessive expense has also
been incurred IN the appointment of such
a large number of women on the board of
lady managers and the calling together
OF the board when the duties which will
devolye upon it were not ready for its at
tention. The report says:
Your committee is of the decided opinion
that the fair cannot well be conducted to a sue
cessful termination under the dual manage
ment which is now in operation in consequence
OF the construction placed upon the law by the
Worlds COlumbianicommission. The commits
sion has exceeded its powers by the appoint.

law belongs so ey to the Word Columbian
exposition and Its officers. The commission
has been given a quasi veto power and not that
OF taking charge of the execution of the
plans for the fair. From the fact that the
commission is honorary and without salary the
conclusion is reasonable that its duties were
not intended to be exactlng aud continuous so
that they would seriously interfere with pr-

commission may be classed as affirmative aud

The committee tried to impress upon
both organizations while in Chicago its
views of the matter of jurisdiction, and it
is pleased to report that its efforts met
with some degree Of success. The report
says that the progress in the preparation
of the government exhibit is as great as
could have been expected. and that the

Manner IN Which the General Assembly
Fills this Important Office.
There is a popular belief that the two
legislative bodies will meet in joint session
today to elect U. S. senator. This is a
mistake. The two bodies will this after
noon take separate vote upon the mat
ter. They will meet in joint session to-
morrow at noon, and their respective
journals showing the result on the sena-
torial question will be read. The candi-
date receiving the highest number of votes
will then be declared elected. This
