THE SENATORIAL CONTEST.
VIII Wage Fiercer Now that First
Caucus Has Been Held.

VIII Wage Fiercer Now that First
Caucus Has Been Held.
The senatorial contest was yesterday lost
sight of, in a great measure, over the
scramble for offices in the organization of
both branches. The organization of both
branches was pleasing to all the candidates,
according to their reports Without excep-
ton the friends of every candidate, and
some of the candidates themselves, said that
the organization of both branches could not
be construed as favoring any of the candi-
dates for senator, as friends Of all candi-
dates are among those chosen. Representa-
tive Blankenshp, who, it is said, had al
most sole charge of the combination which
went through, was last evening congratu-
lated right and left on the success of his
work.
Soon after the caucus adjourned, Repre-
sentative r. S. Roberts, of Madison, an
nounced himself in favor of Mr. Hanly. Said
he: Il came here absolutely uncommltted
and unpledged Many of my constituents are
in favor of Mr.. Hanly and after having
given due consideration to the questions 1
have decided to support him" The Hanly
managers last evening claimed that Repre-
sentative o. NJ. Murphy, of this city, is for
Hanly and that Murphy has given his con-
sent that public announcement shall be
made Of it. Murphy himself had gone home
and personal statement could not be Sc
cured from MN.
The Beveridge men were much in evil
dence last evening. Thus far the most per-
feet organization apparent around the Den
isOn has been that of the Hanly forces but
last evening the Beveridge organization
showed itself and proved to be a power.
There was a perfect working and the two
organizations were much in evidence.
Mr.. Posey, last evening, said that he felt
better than at any time since the contest
opened Said he: The pressure that has
been brought to bear on my friends and the
claims that have been made that the Posey
following is not faithful have done me a
world of good. The result OF these tactics
has been TO cement my following and they
now swear that they will not leave me I'M
der any circumstances. / hope these same
tactics will be continued, for it is helping
me much. / believe my stock has been go
ing up to-day and I am satisfied the other
candidates regard me with favor, for I have
been free from making any criticism and
am friendly with ALL
Now that the branches have been organ
lied it is expected that the senatorial con-
test will wage with greater ferceness than
ever and it will be unimpeded by the host
of applicants for minor places, who have
taken some of the attention.
One of the neutenants OF an opposition
candidate asserted that, in view of the
strong claims made by the Hanly people as
to the invincibiiity of their organization, a
careful canvass of the situation was made
last night by those opposed to Hanly. and
that a review showed at least fifty legfsla-
tors who w0ulu not vote for the Lafayette
man at any stage and who would not be

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Jan. 4.-The soldiers of
Delaware county within the past fow days
have quietly circulated a petition in be-
half of Major Steele for senator. Over enc
hundred signers have placed their names en-
the paper and in no case has there been a
refusal. This paper will soon be forwarded
to indianapolis and it is expected will have
due influence in securing Mr.. Steele's cleo
ton. The old soldiers have warm SPOT in
their hearts for the major and they are en-
thusiastic in their work in his behalf.

Whereas, The evils arising from the pres
