SENATOR SHERMAN.
The Ohio Statesman Named to
Succeed Himself.
ONLY ONE BALLOT NECESSARY.

The Vote Was SO for Sherman
Against 3S for Foraker-The Ex-
Governor, Who Takes His Defeat
Good Naturediy, Compiimented 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 secret
ballot, on the ground that it had been
charged that a number of members
we're being coerced. They wished, they
said, to relieve all members of con-
straint. The Sherman men contended
that each member represented con-
Etituency, that he was supposed to voice
their wishes, and they should have the
privilege of knowing whether he repre-
scented them or misrepresented them.

REVOLT AT SANTOS.
Citizens Shot Down by President
Peiyotto's Soldiers.
MANY YELLOW FEVER VIoTTMs.

While the soldiers Are Charging the
Revoiutionists the Dread Scourge
Aids in Depicting the Population.
They Objected to a Military Cow
ernor.
Nrw York. Jan. Z. - The United
States and Brazil mail steamship Segur-
anca arrived at Quarantine yesterday
from Brazilian ports and with terrible
story of wholesale deaths from yellow
fever and bullets at Santos, Brazil.
The Seguranea brings the first infor-
nation or bloody engagement between
the government soldiers and the people
of Santos in which number of lives
were lost. On Dec. II the government
sent military governor to Santos to re-
place the former governor. The people
opposed this action as species OF tyr
amy and oppression. Public meetings
were held, the conduct of the govern
ment denounced and the citizens began
to organize themselves into armed bands.
When the military governor, sur
rounded by troops, appeared in the
streets, the revolutionary feeling of the
people broke loose and the storm was
soon raging.
Citizens Shot Down.
The soldiers endeavored to disperse
the gathering of citizens and We're
pelted with stones and sticks. The sol
diers were then ordered to fire on the
people. They did so, and a dozen of the
citizens fell dead and number
wounded. The revolutionists gave way,
but quickly gathered again and made
an obstinate resistance.
The troops charged upon the people
and drove them from street TO street.
Many of the revolutionists fell pierced
with baynnets and bullets. A pitched
battle took place between the troops
and the citizens on one of the plazas,
aud the din of nlHslletry and the cries
of the wounded flied the air. The cit
liens fought stubbornly. but had to give
way before the soldie1y. When the
tulnult finally subsided it was found
that there were thirty revolutionists
dead and from seventy-fye to one hun
dred wounded.
Ravaged by Yellow Fever.
While the soldiers were killing by
violence the terrible scourge of yellow
fever was no less busy in thinning out
the population. The Seguranea reports
that the mortality was increasing daily.
I Among shipping men the dread epidemic
was especially felt, Whole crews were
stricken and seamen were dying every
day On one of the Royal Packet steam
ships three of the crew died i'll one day.
Death and desolation everywhere pre-
4 vailed throughout the stricken town,
! and shipping business was almost COM
! pletely parAlyzed. In many cases ves-
sells could not be unloaded, as labor
could not be obtained on account of the
yellow fever.

The Wilmington daily Republican., 1892-01-07

Fu1ly an hour was spent in debate on
this question. The vote stood AT in
favor of the viva voce vote to A for
secret ballot. 1t was thus evident that
some Sherman men wanted a secret
ballot, and some excitement followed
the vote.
4 Sherman on the First Ballot.
Senator Nichols presented the name of
Senator Sherman in an eloquent speech,
dwelling upon his record as financier.
Representative Griffin presented the
name of Ex-Governor Foraker, expati-
sting upon his soldier record. Numerous
seconding speeches TO both these noni-
nations were made. Representative
Welsh presented Major McKinley's
name, but it was soon after withdrawn
by telegram from Major Mckinley.

Scarcity of police details on the mornin G
Examiner crowded one of the monarch's
talented young men to the brink of the
Morgue Monday night.
Heretofore a resignation, requested or
otherwise. from that paper has been the
one joyous epoch in the life of the local
reporter. But, alas, for poor Billie Jobless,
he was heavy with steam beer at the time
of his desperate attempt at self-destruction
and his thinker slipped couple of cogs.
At O'clock Monday night Billie grew
weary OF this sordd world as viewed
through a foaming vista Of beer, and de-
cided to say farewell forever. He filed up
on beer and Rough on Rats, with little dash
of whisky on the side, indited his last will
and testament IN a trembling hand on bit
of crumpied copy paper and then stretched
himself out on the mosaic pavement Of
