AdjOurnS.
Bismarck. n. D.. Jan. 7.-Only one
ballot was taken ut the adjourned sen-
atorial caucus of the Republicans last
night and there has been as yet no
break in any of the forces. The anti
johnson candidates have perfected an
organization Of their forces which they
claim is unbreakable. The vote on the
one formal ballot taken last night was
exactly the same as that taken on the
eighth ballot. and stands: johnson 81.
Little 10, Marshall 10, La Moure 6,
McCumber s, Hanny 5 and Cooper 4,
giving the johnson strength 81 against
q vote of IS for the field. After the
one ballot had been taken, Senator
Ames of Trail county. one Of the
Johnson leaders. moved that the eau
Gus be adjourned to tonight. AS the
lower house adjourned to Monday. it
is expected that Il number Of the anti
Johnson men will leave for their
homes on various business engage
iuents. The adjournment to tonight
was not desired by the field. and SEMI
tor La Moure moved that the motion
be amended by an adjournment sub
ject to the call of the caucus commit
tee. The amendment carried by the
exact johnson and anti-Johnson VOTE
except that Johnson Of Richland pass
ed his vote and Fuller of Stutsman
voted against, there being A votes for
the amendment and 81 against.
% The principal interest in the strug-
gle now lies in the integrity of the
union against Johnson. If the con-
gresham can break the opposition
ranks and secure two or three votes in
addition to those he now has, there is
an opportunity for good management
to pull him through. Ii the field re-
mains unbroken. as the leaders insist
it will. the battle for the senatorship
lies among the field candidates.
