SALEM orr Jan 1S.-The deadlock
in the Legislature continues. The pro-
organization members mustered thirty
strong to-day, and adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow without accomplish
ing anything.
The adherents of Johnathan Burne
consists of thirteen Populists, four
anti-Mitchell Republicans and three
fusionists, who aver that they will
block all attempts at organization in
the lower House until thier demands
are recognized. 1t is conceded that
United States Senator Mitchell has suf-
flcient votes pledged to secure his clec-
ton on the first ballot, but his op-
pOnents hope that by continued fill
clustering they can prevent OrSaniza-
ton, and thereby accomplish his de-
feat. A number of the Assemblymen
are becoming disgusted and announce
their intention of resigning or leaving
for home shortly, unless the deadlock
is broken.
NEVADA.
CARSON (Nev), Jan. 1S.-The Leg
islature convened to-day. Of7cers were
elected according to caucus decision
L
tenn. of the Senate; Lem Allen of
Churchill, Speaker of the Assembly.
Only routine business was transacted.
Notice was given that a caucus of the
members Of both houses would be held
this evening to choose candidate for
United States Senator At this meet
ing thirty-eight Silver Republican, or
sufficient majority, were present, and
of this number Senator J. p. Jones re-
ceived thirty-five votes, the remaining
three going to his only opponent,
George Nixon. This insures senator
Jones reelection on the 10Th inst,
when the first and probably the only
ballot will be taken.
IDAHO.
BOISE 0daho), Jan. 1S.-The Popu-
list caucus this morning again switched
to C1aggett, and used all possible ef
forts to induce the Democrats to
join in and give Claggett the necessary
thirty-six votes, but without avail. The
first ballot resulted: Claggett 96, Du-
bois %, Lewis (Pop) II. Second ballot:
Claggett %, Dubois %, Nelson (Pop.)
13. The votes for Nelson and Lewis
were cast by Democrats.
There was great activity in the Clag-
gett camp all day, mainly with the OBJ
ject of inducing enough Democrats to
secure his election to vote for him to
morrow, but as far as could be learned
this evening without success. Whether
the Populists will, in the next ballot,
remain with Claggett or switch to
Nelson or Lewis, and by the aid of the
Democrats elect one or the other of
these gentlemen, is uncertain. Dubois
men claim there is little chance of the
Democrats and Populists coming to-
gether, and that ultimately Dubois will
receive enough Democratic votes to
elect him.
WASHINGTON.
OLYMPIA (Wash), Jan. 1S.-The first
ballot for United States Senator will be
taken in the Legislature tomorrow.
The result depends largely upon the
outcome of the fusion caucus tonight.
Judge Turner (Sil. Rep) appears to be
the strongest candidate, closely fol-
lowed by Cline Pop) and Senator
Squire, who is making a strong fight
for reelection. The Turner and squire
forces will have to break into Cline's
support in order to secure the votes
necessary to elect. Some of the Popu-
lists claim that should Cline fail of
election they will flock to the support
of Davis (Pop), who has uo+ hitherto
been considered in the race
