COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 5.-The night
before the great senatorial battle finds
the inevitable still staring the Foraker
forces ominously in the face. To them
all indications of the political situation
point to defeat, but they have made a
gallant battle, and the struggle estab-
lished beyond contradiction one signi6-
cant fact---that Foraker is the unshaken
idol of the young Republicans of Ohio.
The declaration today of Dunn and
Daugherty for Sherman add two more
to the senator's majority, and his friends
now claim he will have 58 votes, while
they give Foraker but "a, the remaining
two being doubtful, OF course the
Foraker people do not concede these
laims.
It is generally believed this evening
that the Foraker managers are basing
their hopes upon secret ballot. They
think should this ballot be secret many
of those members who are confessedly
for Foraker, but have gone to Sherman
in obedience to the will of their consti-
tuents, might break away. The Sher-
man people are loud in their demands
for an open ballot by roll call, and main
tain that everything should be fair and
public. 1t looks tonight as though the
open ballot idea will prevail.
The state trade and labor assembly
met today and, as was anticipated,
attempted to solve the senatorial ques-
ton. The president, in his opening ad-
dress, recommended the assembly not
to interfere in the matter, but despite
this, a resolution was this afternoon in
troduced denouncing Sherman's sena-
torial record. 1t was defeated after
considerable wrangling, but it is under
stood the Foraker men will revive the
controversy tomorrow.
The bitterness of the Foraker people
towards the national administration is
intense, and W. S. Cappellar of Mans
field, one of Foraker's leading managers
today, said: whether Sherman be
nominated or not, beyond this time he
is a political blank in Ohio politics, for
the reason that he will have no future
upon the political carpet, state or ma
tional, and while the outrageous inter-
ference of the federal administration, SO
conspicuous to all, is admitted, it must
be admitted that if the Harrison ad
ministration hopes to succeed itself and
carry Ohio it will climb barbed-wire
fence, if necessary, to be friendly with
Foraker and his following in this state.
The senatorial contest will leave sore
places in every county, township and
school district, and if Mckinley, the in
coming governor, can comprehend and
realize the situation and be able to heal
L. rfDx
BILE feat. But there are those who be-
lieve if Sherman is nominated for the
senate it necessitates the nomination of
Blaine as president to swing Ohio, into
the Republican column"
This statement of Cappellar is being
received as an admission that the For
aker people purpose to array themselves
against President Harrison and carry
the state delegation to the national con-
vention for Blaine, or in the absence of
his candidacy, for Senator Cullom of
Illinois or some other declared candidate
for the presidency.
For the first time in the contest the
Sherman people today gave names and
figures. Chairman Hahn OF the state
central committee says: sherman will
have 56 votes. Fifteen of these will be
senators and Al representatives. If a
vote were taken now, that would be my
estimate of the result. However, it may
be increased"
Representatives Dunn and Daugherty,
who were counted for Foraker, have
since pronounced for Sherman, and this
insures him 58 votes.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-General Boyn-
ton being asked if he sent any reply to
the telegram which the Columbus
labor committee furnished the Asso-
ciated Press, said: "No such dispatch
reached me yesterday from which I
conclude that no reply was wanted be-
fore their convention to-day. As to the
Chinese question, into which the COM
mittee is represented as inquiring, this
is true: That Senator Sherman's record
from first to last on that subject, as well
as all other questions concerned with
labor, is one of wise, continuing and
earnest efforts to advance every interest
of the American workman. AS to his
attitude toward pensions which is chal-
lenged by the questions asked, his posi-
ton, which this committee represents
hostile to the soldiers, was distinctly
stated by Senator Sherman to be based
upon his convictions, that proposed
measures did not 60 far enough to do the
veterans full Justice"
