Cushing's Chair For Visitors.

Caleb Cushing desired people to keep
at a distance from him while talking,
and many of his callers had a habit of
gradually moving their chair nearer to
him during a conversation. So one day,
having been very much annoyed in that
way, he sent for a carpenter and made
him fasten two pieces of board to the
legs of the chair and then screw it to
the floor at the place where he wanted
people to sit. When it was done, he con
templated It with a smile and remark
ed: 81 guess I have got them now. They
can't blow their bad breath in my face
any more"
That chair raised a laugh on many a
visitor, who, after several Intellectual
attempts to move it forward, would, on
looking closer, find it fastened to the

BISMARCK, \. D., Jan. 16.-TOmorrow
will be "Fav0rite Son" day. Both
houses will meet at noon and vote sep
3arately for United States senator, fol-
lowing the next day in joint session.
There are fifteen OF twenty candidates.
and none will receive over ten or doz-
en- votes tomorrow. Every community
has a faVOrite son. The real Work or
organizing and combining Will not begin
till tomorrow evening. The Benton,
Roach. Mccormack and Maratta fac
lions among the Democrats have thus
far failed TO unite, and no caucus has
been held. The Independents are try
ing to caucus tonight. but they are dl-
'yided and refuse 10 join the
Democrats. The campaign thus far
has been the pest natured and IreeSI

dates sat at the same table. ana put Tor
the sudden and strict enforcement OF
the prohibition law their bOIsterouS con-
VITALITY would have been attrlo-

the Republican side is the strongest
field candidate against Casey, and the
feeling is prevalent that Casey's only
show is the almost sure failure OF the
field to unite 1t is believed the cOrpOr-
ale interests are not opposed to Casey,

comes from all classes. No attempt Is
made to compile reliable figures OH to-
morroW's ballOUng, or even on succeed

posed or. There never has been in this
state campaign where the claims OF
candidates have been so modest. An
effort was made today to unite the
Smith. Anderson and kingman forces,
but without result. The refusal of the
POpuliStS to treat with the Democrats
will doubtless result in some Demo
cratic votes for Republicans when
needed.

HILL Is FOR PEACE.
Mr.. Cleveland's Nominations VIII
Not Be Opposed.

New YORK, Jan. ia Washington
special to the Herald says: "Mr. Cleve-
land, as president, will have no trouble
with opposition" This statement was
made by Senator Hill. Mr. Hill says
the assumption that any combination
will be made TO oppose Mr.. Cleveland or
his nominations for cabinet or other
positions in the cabinet is absurd.
1.-The presumption, said Senator Hill
tonight, that there would be a cOmbI-
nation between Senator Murphy and
myself is pIepOsterOuS. Mr.. Cleveland
has been elected president by the Dem
Ocratic party, and as Democrats both
Senator Murphy and myself are obliged
to support him whether we want to or
not
Senator Hill believes Mr.. Cleveland is
rapidly paying OFF many obligations.
Henry Willard raised more money for
the Democratic campaign than any
other man. 1t was something OF an
honor TO be the first to entertain the
preS.dent-elect at public dinner, and
this honor fell to Mr.. Willard. This
dinner, according to the way Senator
Hill looks at the matter. indicated two
things: First, that Mr.. Willard wanted
to have a position in the cabinet,
and, second, that Mr.. Cleveland did
not intend to give him what he
wanted. The dinner. Senator Hill be-
lieYes, settled the political debt Mr..
Cleveland owed Mr.. Willard. Then came
the reform club. That organization had
done work Tor Mr.. Cleveland and be-
lieYed it was entitled TO recognition. 1t
got it. Mr.. Cleveland appeared as the
guest of honor at the club dinner. and
in SO doing wiped out his political debt.
This settles, according to Senator Hill,
both Mr.. Willard and the reform club,
ana they need not expect anything fur
Their from the president-eleet.
The chances of Tammany hall with
the new administration are very good.
The supposition that there would be
fight between Iammanv or any of its
representatives in Washington and Mr..
Cleveland after he takes possession of
the White house, is without foundation.
Mr.. Murphy, it is said, will not side
with Senator Hill or anybody else who

Murphy will be found at all times sup

joint ballot today resulted as it did on
Saturday. The Dixon men refused to
come III and vote for Clark. The
doctors have ordered Davidson, the
sick Democrat, to 90 to Arkansas
Hot Springs. He will leave Thursday.
This will leave the Democrats with
thirty-fiv votes in joint assembly, one
less than a majority, and the RepublI-

now is to either prevent an election OF
