Sixteen Senatorial Candidates
Voted for on the First Ballot.
REPORT ON TISDALE'S CASE.
The Majority Want It Dismissed and so
Recommend,
While the Minority States that Tisdale
Has Forfeited His Right to the Seat
by Having Become
Non-Resident.


The senate judiciary committees re-
port was next to the senatorial ballot the
affair of the day in political circles. A
majority of the committee, of whom all
are Republicans, recommended that the
contest case of Foote who is claiming the
seat now held by Tisdale be dismissed. A
minority report was also submitted in
which it was set forth that Tisdale had
forfeited his rights to his seat by reason
of having become nonresident of John
son county.
The committee was unanimous in the
opinion that Foote had no right to the
place even were Tisdale unseated. 1t is
expected that the house committee ap-
pointed to Investigate into Tisdale's con-
duct, and if constitutional to impeach
him, will report this morning.
The first ballot for senator was taken
separately and was almost altogether COM
plimentary. The vote of the two houses
is Warren, Republican, 8; Kuykendall,
Democrat, 4; Tidball, Populist, 6; New,
Democrat, 5; Clark, Republican, 5; Hol-
Richards, Republican, 2; Morgan, Popu-
list, 2; Corn, Democrat, 2; Hinton, Pop
ulist, Brown, Populist, Burke. RepubE-
can, Kabis, Democrat, Taylor, Popullst,
and Snyder, Populist, each got one vote.
It is expected that a number of ballots
will have to be taken before the two
houses get down to business. In the
course of a few days, when the members
have done with preliminary foolishness
and the lines are more tightly drawn, it
will be easier to make guess at the out
come. Just now it is absolutely impossi-
BILE to more than conjecture who will sue
coed Senator Warren.
It is certain that Senator Warren can
not be returned, as he is recognized as
gold bug, or so much of goldite that
free silver men will not support him. For
this reason Clark is looming up. He is
now on the spot, and when 1t appears
that Warren is gone, big effort will be
made to tide him in. Were it not for the
division among the Democrats there
would be no chance for any Republican
candidate. As it is, the hopes of Warren
and Clark are kept alive.
The Populists know they cannot elect
one of their party. But they will select a
| Democrat who comes neareEtotheir views
than any other man in the field, believing
that the fractional Democrats will come
round to their man as last resort. Mr..
| Baxter is a willy and moneyed man, a
Democrat, but mixed up with the cattle
troubles in compromising way and with
number of unyielding enemies. He
could not get the Office except in close
party emergency, and even then it is
doubtful if he could overcome the aver
sion felt towards him.
| The wisest and most experienced poll
ticians here are unable to predict with
any degree of certainty what will be the
outcome. There is no lack of energy nor
of diligence. Each mans supporters are
awake and on the alert. The senatorial
question overshadows the invasion ques-
ton which, since the dismissal of the
charges, has caused animated discussion
and very strong feelings of disgust.
The kind of men met here is a positive
class. They are pushers, adventurous,
bold, sharp, ready to defend themselves
in any way. Many are educated, gentle
manly and pleasant in manner, much
more so than might be expected in this
city, which once had an unsavory repu-
tation. 1t is clean and orderly place,
and were it not for the fact that nearly
everybody uses very strong language, as
profane as it is forcible, it would be re-
markable for its responsibility, all things
considered.
Half a dozen well built churches are
within stones throw of each other. The
preachers are cultured speakers and the
choirs are well trained. Only couple of
horse cars are seen on the streets in the
way of public conveyances, except hacks,
but it is not city of magnificent dis
tances, SO these supply the needs. The
weather here is warm and sunny, not a
sign of snow anywhere.
