SETTLE THE HOUSE CONTESTS

OHIO AND INDIANA CAUcUsEs PRACTICALLY
SETTLE THE HOUSE CONTESTS.
Washington, Nov 27.-The action Of the Ohio
and Indiana delegations in Congress in their re-
spective caucuses late tonight practically settles
the contest over the elective offices OF the House
of Representatives. Ohio decided 10 cast her
nineteen votes for the so-called combine ticket.
and twelve votes OF the Indiana delegation went
the same way II. L. Johnson. of the Richmond
district. declared his intention to vote for Mr..
Henderson for clerk
Although Major Mcdowell claimed earlier in
the evening to have votes to spare. after the re-
suit of these caucuses were announced TO him
he revised his figures and said that at the low
est estimate he then had 161 votes. only 125
are necessary to nominate. The postmastership
of the House which was assigned to Ohio by
the combine, tonight filled by the indorse-
ment by the Ohio caucus of Captain j. c. Me
Elroy, Of Syracuse, Ohio who had five votes to
start with and was finally selected on the tenth
ballot Captain McElroy was an old soldier ard
served as captain of Company x in the 18TH
Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the regiment com
manded by General Grosveror
The ticket. whose nomination the caucuses OF
tonight seem to foreshadow and which viii
doubtless receive the majority vote of Saturday
nights caucus, is as follows Clerk, Alexander
Mcdowell. of Pennsylvania; doorkeeper. W. j.
Glenn. of New-York; sergeant -at-arms, e. =.
