LAKEWOOD On. j., Jan. 26.-PresidenJ-
elect Cleveland returned from New York
this evening, accompanied by Don NJ.
Dickinson. Dickinson's appearance here
caused no little surprise. He went di-
rect to the Cleveland cottage, and was
closeted in his private study for several
hours. 1t is now said that Cleveland is
again insisting upon Dickinson's accept
ing the State portfolio, which was offered
him after Whitney refused. Cleveland
sent for several Democratic leaders. and
an importance conference will take place
Monday or Tuesday, at which Bayard,
Carlisle, Whitney and Harrity will be
present.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Presldent-elect
Cleveland ran up to this city this morn
ing from Lakewood, n. j., to look after

information, saying it was yet too early
to say anything.
WISCONSIN sENAToRsHIP SETTLED.
MADISON (Wis.), Jan. 26. General Ed
ward S. Bragg was this afternoon defeated
in the fight for the seat in the Senate of
tho United States by Colonel John I.
Mitchell. The explanation of Mitchelps
success is that Colonel Knight, who from
the beginning had from eighteen to
twenty followers, this morning released
his little band from obligation to him,
having evidently decided that his own
cause was hopeless, and enough then
went to Mitchell to give him a victory.
The first ballot in caucus to-day settled
the matter. 1t stood: Mitchell, IS; Bragg,
81; Knight, /; total 70. Sampson, one of
tie Bragg men, moved to make the
nomination unanimous, and it was done
amid great applause. The formal election
will occur at noon tomorrow. The city
is wild with excitement tonight.
THE CONTEST IN WYOMING.
CHEYENNE lWyo.), Jan. 26.-The feat
ure in the Senatorial balloting to-day
was the complimentary vote received by
Mrs. Mary T. Bartlett. She is the first
woman, it is said, who ever received
vote in a State Legislature for United
States Senator. Five Populists cast their
votes for her. Senator Warren was
again placed on the active list. and re-
ceived 10 votes. The next highest vote
was polled by A. L. New, DEMOCRAT,
who received IL. The remainder were
scattering as much as at any previous
ballots, and the Legislature adjourned
after the first ballot was taken. tits con
ceded here that the leading candidate has
not been entered actively, and will not
be till next week probably. His name is
George W. Baxter, and his friends are
being restrained for final onslaught,
when they viii make a squirt and carry
off the stakes.
NO CHANCE IN NEBRASKA.
LINCOLN lNeb.), Jan. 26.-There is lit
tie change in the Senatorial ballot to-day:
Powers, "a; Paddock, 81; Majors, IL; the
others scattering. J. Sterling Morton en-
tered the lists actively to-day and estab-
lished his headquarters. The Independ-
ents, however, have thrown wet blanket
on him by declaring that no Democrat of
the Boyd-Morton type, with no anti-mo-
nOpoly antecedents can hope for any as
sistanco from them. They insist, if the
time comes when it will be necessary for
them to throw their vote to a candidate of
one of the other parties. that candidate
must be a man of well-known anti-mo-
nopoly tendencies.

KANSAS REPUBLICANS.
TOPEKA, Jan. 26.-The Republicans in
joint session this morning decided to ap-
point committee to prepare a protest
against the seating Of John Martin by
the United States Senate, and adjourned
without date. 1t was expected there
would be- combination on Carroll (Dern.l
to send to Washington against Martin,
but this was given up.
The protest was based on the ground
that Republicans were not allowed to
vote at the BALLOT yesterday.
The Republicans tonight gave up hone
Of electing Senator, and discovered that
there is no way of testing the legality Of
the organization of the Populist house
excepting by an attack upon the validity
OF the bills which it may pass, and such
action can be brought only by the Attor-
ney-General, and he being a Populist will
decline to bring it.
The Populists tonight held a big mass
meeting to ratifv the election Of Judge
Martin as United States Senator After
the Senator-elect's speech, Mrs. Lease
said that she had judged the election of
Martin too harshly. She has since been
assured that he is in line with many OF
the Populists' principles, and she hoped
that be would be an ornament 10 the
party which had given him seat in the !
Senate.
