The Ohio Statesman Named to
Succeed Himself.
ONLY ONE BALLOT NECESSARY.
The Vote Was 53 for Sherman
Against SO for Foraker-The En-
Governor, Who Takes His Defeat
Good Naturally. Complimented by
His Successful Opponent.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 7.-As expected
the Foraker and Sherman men first
locked horns in the senatorial caucus
last night on the question of how the
ballot should be taken-secret or viva
voce. The Foraker men urged a secret
ballot. on the ground that it had been
charged that number of members
were being coerced. They wished, they
said, to relieve all members of con-
straint. The Sherman men contended
that each member represented a con-
stituency, that he was supposed to voice
their wishes, and they should have the
privilege of knowing whether he repre-
sented them or misrepresented them.

JOHN SHERMAN.
Fully an hour was spent in debate on
this question. The vote stood AZ in
favor of the viva voce vote to A for a
secret ballot. 1t was thus evident that
some Sherman men wanted a secret
ballot, and. some excitement followed
the vote.
Senator Nichols presented the name OF
Senator Sherman in an eloquent speech,
dwelling upon his record as fnancier
Representative Griffin presented the
name of Ex-Governor Foraker, expati-
ating upon his soldier record. Numerous
seconding speeches to both these nomi-
nations were made. Representative
Welsh presented Major Mckinley
name, but it was soon after withdrawn
by telegram from Major Mckinley.
