UTAH
SALT LAKE (Utah, Jan. 19.-The
first ballot in the Utah State Legisla-
ture for United States Senator taken
this forenoon, resulted as follows:
Thatcher Cd 10, Rawlins O) Is,
Henderson Cd 16. Lawrence Pop) 4,
Brown (R) 3, scattering =. Necessary
to a choice 3D. 1t looks like a dead
lock for the present, as the supporters
of the three highest candidates are very
determined, and a somewhat bitter feel
ing exists between the Thatcher and
Rawlins forces, and Henderson, it is
claimed, has eight supporters who will
stay with him to the last ditch. The
next ballot. which will be taken to-
morrow, is not expected to show any
material change from that of to-day.
IDAHO.
BOISE Udaho), jan 19.-Three bal
lots We're taken in the State Legislature
day for United States Senator. The
Populists left Claggett and centered on
Walton. Dubois held the vote of the
silver Republicans, while the Demo-
Gratis favored Lewis and Nelson, Pop
ulists, alternately. The first two bal
lots gave Walton 2S, Dubois %, Lewis
IL, and the third ballot stood: Walton
%, Dubois %, Nelson 16. No choice.
There was strong contention in the
POpuiist caucus. The anti-Claggett
men of the party offered to vote for
Claggett if his name should then be
Withdrawn, but this was declined, and
although it is claimed that the Demo-
Gratis viii never support Claggett his
name viii likely pop up again, as he
controls the caucus, and is reported to
have said that the Senator would be
either himself or Dubois. 1t is also
claimed that the Democrats will not
take up Lewis or Nelson seriously, and
on the other hand there are Populists
who declare they will no longer be
dragooned into supporting Claggett.
WASHINGTON.
OLYMPIA, Jan. 19.-The calcula-
tions Of party managers were sadly up
set by the result of the first ballot for
United States Senator at to-days ses-
sion of the Washington Legislature.
Judge Denny (Rep). whom many be
lieve to be but a dummy for Senator
Squire, devided the list Of nineteen can
didates with a vote Of %, or less than
half the number necessary to elect.
Both House and Senate are split up into
many small factions, with no prospect
of coalition. and ii is possible that the
fight may continue for some time before
a choice is made. To-day's vote resulted
as follows: Denny Rep) -. Daniels
(Pop) IA, Turner (Silver Rep) II, Range
Pop) 3, Rev. Davis Pop) l, Baker
(Pop) 6. Cline PopD 8, Winsor (Pop)

OREGON.
SALEM. Jan. 19.-The Senate and AS
sembly met this afternoon at o'clock,
but. as usual, there was no quorum in
the lower house and both bodies ad-
journed without action until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning. 1t is reported to-
night that the Bourne faction viii be
placated tomorrow, but this is denied
by the managers of Mitchelrs campaign,
who assert that no quarter VIII be
granted the filibusters. The House is no
nearer organization than it was on the
opening day.
In the Republican caucus Mitchell Sc
cured AZ votes for the United States
Senate, one more than required, but
number of these will not vote for Mitch
ell until Jonathan Bourne is elected
Speaker Bourne claims that Mitchell
promised him six votes for Speaker for
the votes Bourne secured for Mitchell.
Mitchell having gone back on this,
Bourne with twenty-five followers will
stay away so as to prevent organiZa-
ton. Five Of those who stay with
Bourne are Mitchell Republicans, but
insist first on Bourne being Speaker. If
the organization takes place Mitchell
will be the next Senator.
