Special to the Jersey cau Ne.cs.

TRENTON, Feb. 16. 1S94.--There was q fan
ciful rumor aioat at the State House yester-
day concerning a probable dissolution of the
Senatorial deadlock. The m had it that
certain usually well informed men felt GER
tain that the muddle would be settled within
twenty-four hours after the Democrats ar
rive in the city next Monday night. DAILY of
Hudson and Winton of Bergen are the two
men who the story says are going to make
the break with a possibility that Martin,
Drake and McMickle may join the process
sion. Daily is credited with being in the move
ment for the sole purpose of getting square
with Allan McDefmott. The authors of the
rumor lave it that Mr.. McDerlnott is very
much INTERESTED in the deadlock, in fact that
it was his own particular pet scheme and
that Mr.. DAILY proposed to desert him in re-
t~aliation for Mr.. McDermotts proposed
desertion in his capacity as chairman of the
State Democratic Committee of the Davis
Daily gang, by reorganizing the reform COM
mittee as the central organization. Assem-
blyman Coyle, of Hoboken, is the ambassador
who is credited with having brought the
proposition from DAILY to Senator Rogers of
the Republican Senate Senator Rogers de-
MES all knowledge of any UGH PROPOSE
ton.
A MOR
The rumor also said that a conference had
been arranged between Senator DAILY, Con-
gresham G.. Bragg Fielder, Boz Davis and
several republicans to fix up the revolt, but
had to be postponed on account of Mr..
Fielder's inability to leave Washington.
Senator Winton is said to be d~isgruntled and
disguised with the Democratic managers
because OF their repeated back downs after
threatening Judicial proceedings. 1t is said
that he was the man who proposed the
habeas corpus proceedings and he says that
Mr.. McDermott sat dow upon the scheme.
Since then Mr.. Winton has become convinced,
the story says, that the Democrats do not
want to break the dead lock under any cir
cumstances.
In pleasing contrast to this rumor is a
speech made by Mr.. Winton at the banquet
of the Americas Club at Camden, Wednes-
day night. Mr.. Winton responded to the
toast Legislation +" and said that
the celebration was one of double interest
to him, as it was his forty-sixth birthday
anniversary. When introduced three cheers
were given him as the next Governor: He
referred to the condition of affairs at Tren-
ton and said it was like the body of a man.
The Democrats had the head, while the Re-
publicans held the foot. sWe are fighting
for principles and not for offices, y continued
Senator Winton, land before you see
Maurice A. Rogers take his seat there will be
ice in the internal regions. The gentleman
from Camden County must come into the
Senate and show that he mas been elected
by the people. Was he sent there by the
votes of the people or by the clubs OF deputy
sheriffs!o
Another remarkable thing about this BAN
quet was that everyone of the speakers, in
Guiding Senators Winton and Hinchiffe and
Billy Thompson, was eheered as 'our next
Governor"
SENATOR sKIRM UNEASY.
Senator Skirm is growing uneasy and is
still clamoring for colleagues to do some
thing or shut up and go home, leaving it to
the people to decide whether the Republicans
are right or wrong. The other Republicans
are having a great deal of trouble with the
Mercer Senator and have hard work to keep
him in line. The trouble with Mr.. Skirm ac-
cording to one of his fellow citizens is that he
is altogether too dictatorial. When the first
caucus was held he walked into the confer
ence and began to storm as if he was the
master of the situation and proposed to run
things. He was soon given to understand that
there were ten other Republican senators and
his vote and voice did not count for m oge
than that of n of the other ten.
Since then he has chafed under
restraint and his colleagues here had a nard
time to keep him in line. The thing that
gals Mr.. Skirm is his inability to fulfil
some of the boasts he made after last falls
election. He was always talking about the
great things he was going to do and the way
In which he was going to run things in the
Senate. He has not been able to fulfil any
of these brags and he is falling in the esti1na-
ton of his beguiled constituents. He favors
backing out and giving up the idea of main
tanning the farce of a dual Senate. He
has been telling his fellow Senators that
they can do nothing SO long as the Governor
will not recognize them, and they might as
well quit the farce. His idea is to go home
and wait until the next election and then go
before the people ON the issue of the Demo-
cratic steal. He says that the State went
Republican by 23,S29 and will do better next
time.
SENATOR BRADLEY's BRUSHES.
Senator Bradley was around with new
brushes last night. This time he was distri-
buting small nail brushes, which can be of
some use to those who received them, and as
the Monmouth Senator was in an exceed
ingly generous mood every one who was
about got one. Of course, the brushes were
put out as a campaign document, and were APP
p~ropriately labeled. On the back was a table
setting forth the Democratic and Republican
| Assembly votes in 1872 and 1898, with this
legend:-"Republican majority in 1893, 49,
S23. Notwithstanding these facts, the
'Rump' Senate, aided and Allotted by State
officials, defy the will of the people," On
one side are the Latin words, ree populi eor
Qea, WIN UnelF EnBISu DfanSlHulon, line
voice Of the people is the voice Of God" on
the other.
Senator Voorhees, said last night that he
had completed his bill providing for a custo-
dian for the bills the Representatives pass,
and that it win be introduced Monday even
ing. There will be nc new custodian (the
Republicans are opposed to creating new
Offices, and the Secretary efSState will still
be allowed to keep the bills, if he
will. The law which compels the
laws to be filed in the Secretary's
Office also provides that whenthe Governor
has refused to either sign or veto a bill, but
is willing that it should become a law by
filing it In the Secretary of States office, he
shall endorse upon it a memorandum to
show that it had passed through his hands.
