The contest for the Speakership in
the House between L. G. Laylin, OF
Huron, Sherman man, aud ]. +. Nc
Grew, a Foraker man, made the House
caucus highly important as showing the
strength of the rival candidates, Sher-
man and Foraker. Lsylin was nomina-
ted by IS 10 "a votes for McGrew. As
the Foraker men concede that sherman
has q majority OF the Republican Sen
atOrS, and the caucus vote shows he has
a majority in the House. His election
would seem now TO be assured,
The House Republican caucus nomi-
mated as follows; Speaker, 4. c. Lay
Laylin; Speaker Pro Tenn, e. j. Capp,
Geauga; Chief Clerk, John Il. MallOy,
Franklin; Journal Clerk, George Ii.
Kalker, Hamilton; Message Clerk, L.
=. Foster, Pike; Enrolling Clerk, Clyde
Williams. Paulding; Recording Clerk,
Emma Whitney, Cleveland; Sergeant
alarms, Andrew Jackson, Green
county; First Assistant, w. T. Brash
ears, Muskingum; Second Assistant,
George z. Sanford, Washington, and
Third Assistant Fred. Blankner, Frank
lin.
In the Senate the following nomina-
tions were made: President Protein,
4 T.. l.. Sampson, of Ashtsbula; Chief
Clerk, A. c. Caine, Franklin; Journal
Clerk, w. II. Fuller, Fulton; Message
Clerk, r. J. Mauck, Gallia; EUgrossing

Ssrgeant-at-Arms, Foss Hayward, Clark;
First Assistant, 4. Emory, Ashland;
Second Assistant, w. s. Cowen, Bel
mont: Third Assistant; r. b. Crawford,
Stark.
The Democrats of the Senate eau
cused and nominated all the old officers
except w. a. VaSley, one OF the clerks,
who is dead. To this vacancy they
nominated John Shea or Crawford.
The Democrats of the house nominated
Price OF Hooking, for Speaker, and re-
nominated the old officers except
George d. Neal, one Of the sergeants-
alarms.
But the Senatorial contest still seems
to be unsOlved. Laylin, the Sherman
candidate, Is nominated, but the result
has failed 10 bring that cheerful acQui-
escence in the inevitable that the Sher-
man people so confidently expected from
Foraker and his followers.
Indeed. the doughty Ex-Governor has
t1ost none Of that conviction Of ultimate
Snccess which has characterized his &C
tons throughout, IL his words aud out
ward demeanor tonight are any critic
riop of his inward thoughts.
Tire sherman men say that the fight
isoyer. that all that remains is but a
perfunctory formality. The Foraker
men say the fight is Just beginning TO
netinteresting, that subordinate issues
are now out Of the way and the field Is
only cleared for the great Senatorial
contest that is to retire John sherman
from the United States Senate and place
II b. Foraker at the lead OF the Repuo-
liean party in Ohio. 80.
There is one other prominent Ohio
Reonblican besides Senator sherman
who does not share this view OF the
loval friends OF the Ex-Governor. lie is
Hon. Charles Foster, member OF Presl-
dent Harrison's Cabinet and Secretary
81 the National Treasury.
saHoN. JOHN SHERNAN:-Accept my
sincere congratulations.
fcignedI CHARLES FOSTER"
l'bjs is the message which Secretary
roster sent to Senator sherman, this
afearnoon. as soon as he had read the
hnlletin at Washington announcing
thst the Foraker candidate Tor the
Sreakership had been beaten BY the
sherman man by vote OF IS to "a.
.,Poster has been all the time the
agent of the administration In the Ell
fort 20 elect Sherman, and this telegram
Is but q scheme TO demoralize our forces
ara cause a stampede to sherman,
sara George Cox, OF Cincinnati, the
chief Lieutenant of EX-GOVERNOR For
aker "The Speakership fight, we have
always contended, was not fought on
Senatorial lines, and IL is not fair
test" ,.
Tbere was an air Of intense diScour-
avemept IN the Foraker quarters tmme-
diatelv after the Speakership caucus,
hDt the cheerful words of the ex-Iioy-
erDor soon restored feeling OF conn-
dence. ''All is not lost, were the
words that the Foraker men nrst re-
heated to each other. subsequently
this gave way to 1--WE are In the hgh'to
stay." and tonight the only words one
hears are. Foraker will win yet; wall
for the caucus"
Around the headquarters Of Senator
sherman this evening was all the
cbeerfnlpess Of expectant victory. IL

Sed majority in the Senate, END the

storiaj lines, and Laylin, the sherman
candidate, selected by majority OF
