time. Other changes were:

they should stand by Young and thus
compel the deadlock until after the 4th
OF March, so that Young can finish out
the present term OF congress.
See No End Of Deadlock.
One Of the men who has been voted
for as candidate for United States
senate stated last night:
Il believe that there will be an elec-
ton OF senator this week. do not

stated yesterday:
II do not gee that there is any
change in the situation warranting ex-
pectation Of an election. II what they
tell me is correct these standpatters
will stay, by Young to the finish. The
feeling among a great many OF them
appears to be that 1t 10 necessary to
stand by Young or the whole stand
