One Way to Win the Senator.
ial Contest From Sher.
man i'm Ohio.
SECRECY MAY SAVE HIM.
AlJohnston Says the Unpledged Mem.
bers Will Elect.
A WYMAN-OLIvER COMBINATION
Rutan Will Not Run for Congress-Figures
On His Fight.
THE PITTSBURG SLATE MAY BE BROKEN

Al Johnston, railroad contractor OF
Cleveland, O., and a brother of Congressman
Johnston. the well-known Ohio Democrat,
was in Pittsburg last night Contractor
Johnston is a robust, powerful-looking man.
He wore a heavy storm coat, which made
him look bigger than he really is. He takes
an active interest in Ohio politics, and he is
held in high regard by his party's leaders
81 have been away from Ohio for
few DAYS." Mr. Johnston said. 81 see,
however. that they are disposed to concede
success to Sherman in the Senatorial fight
out there really don't believe that Sher-
man can win the battle. Foraker is a
shrewd politician, and they will do well to
keep their ewes on him. He says he is
not beaten, ard that is evidence to my mind
that he has still hopes of success. l learned
to-day from an Ohio Congressman that
Sherman had but 40 votes that are positively
pledged to him. Foraker has about the same
number pledged to him, which leaves 13 votes
unpledged to be gotten by either side at the
last moment. If that condition exists
Foraker will win.
Secret Ballot viii Eject Foraker.
''Foraker favors secret ballot, and if he
can secure such a ballot he will be the man
beyond question. Foraker has had an up
hill fight, but he is the best uphill fighter
in the State. and he is never whipped until
the votes are counted. Just keep your eye
on Foraker for "a hours longer"
"Who Will the Ohio Democrats support
for President" was asked.
'Our people are for Cleveland, but il
looks now as though Cleveland cannot be
nominated. Hill seems to have the ma,
chinery set up against the ex-President.
"Will Hill be nominated
'I think not The conservative Demo-
Gratis of the country are anxious to elect a
Democratic President. To elect we must
have New York, and, with Hill and Cleve-
land fighting, we must take Flow er. .Boies
or Palmer New York is now 80, 900 Demo
cratic, and next year / think the majority
will be greater than ever.
Flowers Chances for a Combination.
"Flower might be able to get both Tam
many and the County Democracy. If so, he
can be elected. If the two factions unite
they can elect any man. My personal
choice would be Cleveland and Boies."
"Who will the Republicans nominate for
President %
"Blaine, if he will accept. If not, then
all the politicians on earth cannot defeat
Harrison for denomination. The deal be-
tween Senator Quay and others to make
Alcer the candidate cannot, in my judg-
ment. be successful, and, if Blaine is not
nominated. Harrison will be. They may
put Mckinley on the second place on the
ticket, but they will likely take New
York man for that place"

Rutan Is Not Out for Congress.

Senator Rutan emphatically denies that
he has entered into an arrangement with
Senator Quay whereby Mr.. Rutan is to
withdraw from the legislative fight in the
Second district, Allegheny, and to become
the candidate for Congress against Colonel
Stone two years hence. 81 am running for
the Legislature, Senator Rutan said. "and
for no other Office. am not entering into
any arrangement with Senator Quay at this
time My present arrangements suit me
perfectly and I will be elected to the Legis-
lature without fail. don't want to discuss
my campaign" the Senator said, 'but in
my district there are 81 delegates. Out of
that number I will receive 26 delegates,
Cruikshsnks will have "a delegates, Nc
Donald will get 10 delegates and Marshall
will have delegates. Just keep my figures
in your mind. In the face of these figures
you can readily see why am not disposed
to enter into any arrangement with Mr..
Quay or any other man..

. George Pearson Out of Politics.

George Pearson, Private Secretary under
Governor Beaver, was at the Anderson last
night. Mr.. Pearson has retired from poll
tics and is devoting himself entirely to a
quite business life. While comparatively
young man, George Pearson has for ten
years been considered one of the best poll
ticians in the State. He was conservative
and careful and his advice and counsel was
never disregarded. For several years he
was employed as Clerk to the House of
Representatives at Harrisburg and he was
wonderfully apt in political legislation.
While Clerk he was the accepted leader
of the House. When Secretary to Governor
Beaver he seemed to drop out of politics.
At the expiration of his term he left Har-
risburg and has not turned his hand in pol
itics since. He SAYS he does not have even
political opinions now.

stable, but Is Recaptured.
George Dougherty escaped from Consta-
BILE Patrick McNierney yesterday afternoon
while being taken to Jail from Alderman
Reilly's Office. He was committed to an
swer charge of surety of the peace, pre-
ferred by his wife. McNierney was en-
trusted with the delivery of the prisoner to
Jail. On Ross street the prisoner began to
struggle, and, after hard fight, escaped
from the constable, starting on a run to
Fifth avenue, closely pursued by McNier-
ney. Detectives Steele and johnson, of
Allegheny, were at Fifth avenue and Ross
street and witnessed the escape.
Dougherty passed them, but they turned
and pursued him. The prisoner started up
Old avenue, but was so closely pressed that
he turned into hallway of a house on Old
avenue and barred the door. Detective
Steele forced the door and caught Dough-
erty. With the assistance of Detective
johnson, he overpowered the man and re-
turned him to McNierney. Dougherty was
then placed in Jail.

soon repaired to the house of John Kinney,
at No: Is Hailman street, East End. Slat-
terry was present when they arrived.
Shortly after midnight Altmeyer and Slat-
terry got into quarrel over a young lady,
which soon resulted in an adjournment to
the rear yard to fight it out. Altmeyer be-
ing the larger soon got the best of the other
man and Slattery had to cry enough.
When the fstic duel was over Altmeyer
started for the house. Just as he did so
Slattery pulled a.large knife and plunged
it into his back. Altmeyer called for help,
and Stein ran out. As he did so Slattery
turned on him and cut him several times.
In moment both men had fallen, with
numerous wounds. Slattery, seeing what
he had done, jumped fence and escaped.
The police were notified of the affair and
began search for Slattery. About 3
o'clock in the morning Lieutenant Duncan
boarded a street car at Penn and Center
avenues, and the first man he saw was Slat-
terry sitting in the corner, minus his hat and
covered with blood. He was promptly
arrested and locked up. At the hearing
later in the morning Magistrate Hyndman
committed Slattery to Jail.
The two injured men were taken home
and last night were in a fair condition,
although their wounds will keep them con-
fined for some time. Slattery is well-known
to the policef as is also John Kinney, at
whose house the affair occurred.

Iron Not Relished by the Trade.

Monongahela House yesterday for the regu-
lar monthly meeting. The last time they
got together they Advanced the price of "a

cents per pound, with 20 per cent discount.
The new rates went into effect January l.
What they did yesterday very few people
outside of themselves know, but BUYERS
will soon learn to their Joy or sorrow if it
affects them. There was general kick on
the advance from the trade, but the manu-
facturers claimed they were losing money,
and it had to stand.
The sheet iron men met after the gal
vanized people were through to make an
other effort to organize a combination.

association, but found themselves small

Now, they propose to organize and look
after their own scale. The last time they
met they failed to agree. The nail men are
now figuring on making bar iron for the
galvanized iron and tin plate manufacturers.

Fixed Up Differences With Jobbers.

The Sewer Pipe Manufacturers Associa-
ton met at the Seventh Avenue Hotel
yesterday to discuss the trade outlook for
next year and harmonize some differences
with the jobbers about prices. D.
E. Hill, of Akron, is President and
presided at the meeting. About dozen
manufacturers were present. Alas for the
sewer pipe men, they have tough time
controlling the trade, About two years ago
the Globe Trust was organized, but it
proved a miserable fizzle and fell fiat.
Prices have been cut grievously, and the
middlemen are very sore. As long as the
makers won't maintain rates, they can't
be expected to line up. This is
their dull season, but they think the pros
poets for business next year are good. Like
other manufacturers the sewer pipe men are
very secretive, and whether or not prices
were advanced or reduced will be known to
dealers in due course of time.
