Little Opposition.

The senatorial nomination of the Repub-
lican caucus in the approaching Legis-
~lature. although only complimentary in it's
character. has been given considerable
thought. Information has been gained in
various ways as to the choice of o number
of the fifty-two Republican members. Hon.
Charles w. Fairbanks has the lead in the
expressed choice. He was the candidate
before the caucus two years ago
and was defeated by Governor
H0vey after o very warm contest.
During the last campaign he was an ex-
ceedingly active, earnest and effective
advocate and defender of Republicanism.
He is still young in years. and holds an I'M
usual popularity among the young men or
the party.
The candidate mostfrequently mentioned
in opposition to MIN is Ex-Governor Porter.

which was made by Hon. Charles l..

he is for ''Turpie. unless Holman should be

Also, We're Crowded.

Christmas has come and gone, and the
thousands of little urchins have blessed
the good old Santa Claus from the depths
OF innocent little hearts. The slight fall
of snow that came during the middle of
the week was augmented by another fall
commencing shortly after IL O'Clock Satur-
day and continuing for several hours,
which added depth 10 the white robe that
covered everything. and produced the old

at home to enjoy q turkey dinner, with Its
varied incidents. A few sleighs were
brought out and the merry tinkling of the
bells lent to the day the seeming of q
Christmas that used TO be. The churches
were well attended.
The downtown saloons and resorts, as
usual, made preparations for q holiday
business, and great bowls of egg-nog sat

ton called for a poll of that state, which
was ordered by the chair, with the follow

Deatcning cheers greeted the entrance of
the distinguished Ohio governor into the
presidential contest. When Ohio was
reached there occurred the most dramatic
incident ever witnessed in a national con-
yention, that OF a presidential candidate
challenging the accuracy OF the vote cast
by his o9n state. "ohio gives two votes
for Harrison, forty-two for Mckinley"
said Ex-Governor Foraker. and a pande-
monium OF enthusiasm greeted the an
nouncement showing that Harrison had
lost tWenty-seven in Ohio. After the
cheering had ceased Mckinley arose, and
IN clear voice said: ~ challenge the vote
OF the state of Ohio. / am q delegate
from that state" After breathless
pause, Foraker arose and said: But you
have been retired from this delegation,
Mr.. Chairman, by your election to the
Craftsmanship OF this convention. Your
alternate has taken your place, and we no
longer know you as a member of the Ohio
delegation" The generous action of For
aker toward a man who had but recently
been identified with an opposition faction
IN Ohio evoked all the better impulses Of
the vast audience, and resulted in loud ap-
plause. The chair overrules the point of

Belligerent Brown.

Desperate Brown, the fellow who has been
confined in Jail for several months past and
who has made himself quite notorious because
of his many well planned yet futile attempts to
escape, came near accomplishing his long
wished desire Sunday night.
About O'Clock in the evening Night Watch
man LaInpert went down the street TO hard
ware store and left bill poster by the name OF
Winslow in charge. Brown soon became cog
infant OF his absence and began complaining OF
heing very thirsty. He had watched his oppor-
tunity and had with some kind of an instrument
unlocked his cell door. His pieadings for water
seemed very pitiable, and finally Winslow
opened the jail door and started 10 get the suf-
fering creature a cup of acqua pura. II was
necessary to pass his cell door, and as he did sc
Brown shot out OF his cell ana ran up the stair
way.
Winslow started after him. and when he had
reached the steps in front of the court house he
fired his revolver at the escaping desperate
The shot came so close to him he was satisfied
TO STOP and fell 10 the pavement. About this
time Watchman Lampert happened on the
scene, and Sir Brown was soon landed again
behind the bars. All the prisoners could
easily have escaped, but one OF their number,
man by the name of Rogers, convicted OF rape
held the door on them.
Brown was handcuffed and leg ironed anC
how he ever got them all unfastened and his
cell door opened is yet amystery to the jai
officials. He evidently has some tools hid0er
somewhere, and the sheriff has chained hin
down and will give him bread and water fol
sustainance until he explains where they are.
