COLUMBUS. Ohio. Jan. 2.The preliminary
battle for United States Senator was Won by
Senator sherman to-day. Mr.. Laylin OF Huron.
Shcrman's candidate for Speaker of tho House
OF Representatives, defeated McGrew OF Clark
by II vote of IS to 81 this afternoon. McGrew
represented the fiery Foraker. and was sure ot
his election up to the time the ballot was
taken. He was bitterly disappointed.
When Foraker heard tho news ho grew
white in the face and retired to his room. In
IL short timo he came out. however, and look
ing over n list. announced that five OF his fol-
lowers had voted for Layln. and that tho
SreaEcrshir fight was no criterion to 60 by.
He saw that the bnttic was not over yet and
that hc would win next week.
Foraker said also that 1t was bad politics
for any follower OF his 10 vote for Inylin. as
tho effect Of Laylin's election told against
him. but that he would be bound to dpfeut tho
Federal otliccholdcrs' candidate and the cam
didate of Wall street. Forakcr's own
figures. however. will not elect him,

this would make 80 in the House. In the
Senate there are 10 Sherman and Foraker
Republicans. SO that il Foraker gets ~ he
would be one vote short OF nomination.
1t now seems certain that Sherman will get
more votes in tho House than Laylin. and that
the doubtful members will 60 with the crowd.
There are II lot Of ambitious Republicans who
want chnrinanships OF good committees. and
