SHERMAN WINS IN OHIO.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 1.-As expected the
Foraker and Sherman mon first locked horns
In the senatorial caucus on the question Of
how the ballots should be talsen-secret or
viva voce. The Foraker mon urged a secret
ballot on the ground that IL had been
charged that number of members were be-
ing coerced. They wished, they snid, to re
heve all members Of coustraint. The Sher-
man men contended that each member rep
resented a constituency-tha he was sup
posed to vote their wishes, and they should
have the privilege Of knowing whether he
represented them or misrepresented them.
Fully an hour was spent in debate on this
question The vote when taken stood ~ in
favor Of the viva voce vote to a for secret
ballot It was thus evident that some Sher.
man men wanted secret ballot, and some
excitement followed tho vote.
Senator Nichols presented tho name Of
Senator John Sherman in an eloquent
speech, dwelling upon his record as fnan'
cier.
Representative Griffin presented the name
OF Ex-Governor Foraker ozpatiating upon
his soldier record. Numerous seoonding
speeches to both these nominations were
made.
Representative Welsh, in what must have
been his maiden speech, presented Major
William McKinley's name, but IL was soon
afterward withdrawn by a telegram from
Major Mckinley. This did not deter Welsh,
however, from voting for his candidate.
Representative Dicks presented the name
Of Charles Foster.
Elected on the First Ballot.
AS the ballot proceeded there was no
demonstration except that when Porter, Of
Cleveland, doubtful man, voted for Fora
ker, the Foraker men shouted, and when

BLAINE SUDDENLY FRUSTRATED.

An Attack Of His Old Stomach Trouble
Which Lasted About an Hour.
WASHINGTON Jan, 7-Secretary Blaines
prostration by illness while discharging his
duties at the state department was sufficient
to MI the city with every kind Of alarming
rumors. The attack came upon him in the
diplomatic reception room. His illness was
sudden and was accompanied by vertigo and
nauseau,
Surgeon General Browne of the navy,
whose office Is IN one Of the rooms assigned
TO the navy department on the floor below
the secretary's offices, was summoned and
came up at once and administered such
remedies as the occasion demanded He
gave the same diagnosis that accompanied
the previous attacks, that the secretary's
illness was the result Of indiscretion in eat
ing, failure 10 take proper exercise, and ex-
cessiye mental eXertion under these unfa-
vorablo conditions. In about an hour Mr.
Blaine was sufficiently recovered to be re-
moved to his house in the department
carriage,
During the balance Of the day there was a
constant succession Of inquiries from the
highest officers of the government as well as
from members Of the diplomatic corps and
the secretmy's many personal friends. To
all callers the same answer was given, that
Mr.. Blaine was better and that his illness
was not regarded as serious; that in fact It
was considered as merely a stomach trouble

AFTER SERVING THE PEOPLE of Carbon
county as Prothonotary and Clerk of
Courts for period of twelve years,
George w. Esser on Monday stepped
down and out of office. Mr.. Esser was
a capable and thoroughly efficient off,
cial with an honesty and integrity that
cannot and never has been impugned.
His following of friends throughout
the county is legion and are limited to
no particular party. His agreeable,
courteous and gentlemanly demeanor
has made him special favorite with
the people as his long term in Office
fully testifles. Mr.. Esser will not
leave Mauch Chunk or Carbon county
as his FEW enemies report but will con-
tinue here and be one Of us.

New ORLEANS Jan. 5.--The color ques.
ton in the Grand Army here has again been
brought up and threatens to cause the dis
solution Of all the white posts in the dis.
trict, which includes the states Of Louisiana
and Mississippi. The last national encamp.
ment Of the Grand Army recognized the
colored posts as legitimate and regular ones
Recently the district commander here was
notified Of this decision and the white posts
were called upon to recognize the full equal.
ity and fellowship Of the colored ones. A
meeting Of the white posts was held, at
which 1t was decided by an overwhelming
majority that they would not accept the
negroes under the conditions ordered, but
would surrender their post charters in pref.
erence This viii be done at the state en-.
campmeut which meets on Feb, 10.

WE THINK LEHeH FIRE COMPANY have
acted unwisely in disbanding The
offer Of council to repair the hose
house and secure hose carriage was
very liberal when it is remembered
that the borough is deeply involved
through the First street difficulty.
The borough has now borrowed all the
money it dare borrow according to law,
two per cent Of the total assessed valua-
tion. We are now practically without
fire protection, for the hose in the
hands Of an unorganized people will do
little good. This is a bad state of af-
fairs and we urge the members of Le-
high to once more get together. Come,
boys, don't hesitate. Bear with council
until they are out of their present diff
ficulty and you won't regret it.

Monday will be great holiday dur
ing the present year. Washington's
birthday comes on Monday and so does
Memorial Day, The Fourth of July is
also billed for a Monday and Labor
Day will be celebrated on a Monday.
Christmas is down on the calendar
for Sunday and will therefore be cele-
brated on Monday.
Thanksgiving day and election day
are the only holidays during the year
that will be celebrated on any other

People who believe in luck and are
superstitious may decide upon Mon.

The Stroudsburg Times Of last week
contained this reference to G. A.
Hawk, principal of the Tobyhanna
schools:
"The entertainment by the scholars,
in the school hall last Thursday after
noon was a grand success, and the
principal and teachers deserve great
credit for the manner in which it was
carried on. Not alone can we speak of
the principal and teachers work in the
exercises last Thursday, but the man.
ner and spirit which they manifest in
the every day working of the school.
Although prin. Hawk has only been
with us few months we realize his
value as a teacher, and with assistants
Mr.. Transue and Miss Kelly are doing
excellent work"
