gle is still unsolved The SpcaScrShip contest
/ is over and Iaylin, the Sherman candidate, Is
! n0minatcd but the result has failed 10 bring that
! cheerful acqucscencc in the inevitable that the
Sherman People so confidently expected from
/ Foraker and his followers. Indeed, the cN-Gov-
crnor has apparently lost none OF that conviction
! Of ultimate succctS which has characterized ms
| actions throughout the struggle The Sherman
men say that the fight Is ali over; the Foraker
men assert il is just beginning 10 get interesting.
| that subordinate issues are out of the way ana
| that the field i now cleared for the great Sena
toria contest that is to retire John Sherman from
/ the United STATES Senate, and make Foraker the
leader of the Republicans in Ohio.

nine supporters in the House. 1t vas nearly

fine five or six other doubtful men. and il is now
said they will not define their position until
after the organization of tile two houses. on
Monday.
The surprise Of the morning was tie decara-
| tion Of REPRESENTATIVES. Reeve, of Ashtabua, and
| Williams of Noble, in favor Of Foraker Al an
early hour this morning both OF these men made an
authorized Public declaration, and the Foraker
partisans were wild with harity. The Sherman

refuge of both sides since the coi1c' opened, de-
cared they had never considered the support "i
