TUESDAY, JANUABY 4. 18fe7.

The admirers of Jason Bazoo Brown are accused of grooming him for the senatorship.

Mr. Robertson was fairly and honestly elected lieutenant governor, and the Democrats will add another to their long list of blunders if they prevent him from takine his teat.

There is a general feeling of relief when the gaiety of the holidays is over, and the business of life settles back into its old grooves. Jollifying is fun, but it requires an immense amount of exertion and uses up vitality ten iimes more rapidly than regular work, however laborious.

Senator Vooihees, Congressman Holman and John Lamb are in Indianapolis giving their personal attention to the senatorial contest. There is some mighty ticklish work to be done on the Democratic side within the next few days, and there is nothing like having experts around handy.

Mr. Henry Watterson denies that he has entered into a combination with Messrs. Halstead and Beid to elect Mr. Blaine to the presidency. There are in the neighborhood of five million Republicans who will have a chance to be )ieard between now and the next Republican convention.

The proceedings of the Merchants Tai'ors' convention, which will be held in Philadelphia next month, will be of the greatest interest to the trousers-wear ing portion of the American ptople. Various methods to prtfvent trousers from "kneeing out" and to prevent hand-me-downs from being recognized as such will be discussed. With such an aggregation of talent in the tailoring line of business there mU3t be some practical out-come that will be of the highest benefit to mankind, and directly ti womankind.

There is no jjity in the United States where the political "fine worker" is so handsomely rewarded as in our own capital. Chicago has always been regarded as a kind of modern United States Sodom, bat even there sufficient prejudice in favor of honest elections remained to send Mackinto Joliet, where lie rests from his former labors, if his works do not follow him. Ia New York a little of the same spirit exists, although for wickedness it probably ranks next to Chicago. In Indianapolis, however,- he carries out his plans and stays right at home, continuing business at the old stand, where he receives the congratulations of his party from the highest executor to the most humble bartender. Sterling Holt, it will be remembered, as a finishing stroke to. a good deal more work of the same sort, demolished a ballot box with a hatchet under the advice of Albert Ayers. In other states this would have been a grave offense. In Indiana it is approved by Democrats, and tolerated by Republicans who carry their toleration to the ex* treme of humble resignation when the dame Ayres is made a criminal judge, and Holt a police commissioner. If Mack in were only a Hoosier, instead of languishing in a penitentiary, he would be administering the law for the benefit of the public at large.

The New Xork Tribune has proffered the following ^etrical criticism on the "wing1 that has been added to Locksley Hall: "We don't wish to seem unfeeling, Lord and

Eminent botanists are consulting together in regard to propagating anew species of potato, It is hardly worth while until the average maid of all work learns how to cook the varieties now in vogue. It would be only one more kind to boil into lumps or fry to cinders.

The sea serpent came to the surface in the Hudson river again, last week, and looked at a man nam Brown. Its eyes were red as fire and as big as saucers, which leads one to sup pose that human beings are not the only creatures who celebrate the holidays.

A generous father in Decatur oounty presented each of his nine children with a gold watch on New Year's Day. It is not stated that he has agreed to pay for the frequent and necess&ry repairs required by the modern time-keeper.

CAUCUSES.

The Republican and Democratic C*u eases at the Capital Last Might. Special Dispatch t.»the Express^

INDIANAPOLIS, January 3.—The Republican representatives held a prelim* inary caacus this evening, but came to no definite conclusion regarding any policy to be pureued in the approaching session. The caucus for the nomination of speaker and subordinate officers will be held Wednesday evening. The Democrats also held a caucus, but declined to discuss a policy till the supreme court decides the lieutenant governorship contest.

The light for the S»n»tor»hlp—Voorhers and Otber sig Guns on tlie Ground. Special to the Express.

INDIANAPOLIS, January 3.—Members of the legislature and those who expect to be elected to place are beginning to arrive. There are a number of others ffhose names appear on the hotel registers who are here to "influence" the legislature for this man and that man. Neither party has adopted a general policy, so the leaders say, and are awaiting the action of the supreme court on Qreen Smith's case. The conrt is expected to hand down a decision to-mor-row. Should the ultimate decision sustain the ruling of Judge Ayres and affirm only on the questions in which he passed, Smith's friends will soon push his claims on the ground that there has been no ruling of the court, on the legal right to elect a lieutenant governor, and that he is entitled to the seat, If there should be a dissenting opinion from any one of the judges, there is an understanding that it will be made the basis of the fight, and, of course, if there should be a reversal, and a judgment that the election was illegal, thea Mr. Smith would in an ^, excellent shape ..^.'ifor the fight. There is every probability, however, that there will be a determined contest for the office, no matter what may be the decision of the court, and it is claimed that the Democratic senators will stand solidly by Smith. This is doubtful, however, for that gentleman's succession to the lieutenant governorship would very materially increase Governor Gray's chances for tbe senatorial nomination, and it is not likely that McDonald's friends will agree to anything that tends to impair their candidate's strength. Of course, the Democrats recognize the fact that a Democratic attorney general gave it as his opinion that the election of a lieutenant governor was necessary, that a Democratic governor issaed a proclamation for an election, that the Democratic state convention nominated a candidate, and that the Democracy throughout the state "whooped 'em up" for their man. While Governor Gray haB not publicly and positively disclaimed his intention of being a candidate, it is talked about the hotels that he will not go before the caucus, and that Mr. McDonald will get the nomination without any great exertion. Of course there are dark and vague hints about Holman, E tglish and other statesmen being in the race, and one of the most appalling suggestions recently made is that Jason B. Brown is being groomed as a dark horse. There seems to be no reasonable doubt that the Republican nomination will go to Senator Harrison, in whose interests the legislative campaign was made, although ex Governor Porter has a certain following.

Senator Voorhees and Dick Bright arrived from Washington yesterday. John Lamb has been here for several days,and these gentlemen, with Senator McDonald, J. Rice, W. H. English and others have been in consultation much of the time since. At the Grand hotel this morning they were securely locked in a room, to which admission was denied, except to a few of the. faithful. Governor Gray was among the missing, both at the political headquarters and his office, and it is supposed that he was at his residence, at work* on his message. He is ably represented down town, however. Among the Democrats the rumor was prevalent this morning that Representative Graves, of Perry county, the Republican member who was hurt by a railroad accident some weeks ago, was so badly disabled that it would be utterly impossible for him to be here. Tfiis was denied by Attorney Gtneral Michener, however, who said they had positive information that Graves would be on hand all right, and by Representative Kercheval, of Pike county, who says Graves will certainly be here.

W. S. Holman, the "objector," will arrive here soon, and will remain until the senatorial struggle is settled. It is un derstood that he is to join ex-Senator McDonitld in the eflort to prevent Gov. Gray from getting the senatorsbip. Gray is the most active, aggressive, and

The Evening Hews aavs: The Republican members of the legislature have already a*ecd upon several things. One of them is that all important bills on mooted questions will be discussed in caucus and action in concert decided upon. This has been deemed a necessity, particularly in considering the tem perance question. half a dosen members during the time that has been so largely taken up with contesting and discussing elections have devoted themselves to ths preparation of license bills. All of these will be considered in caucus, and one will be adopted, comprising, psrhaps, features taken from the several bills. A determined effort seems to be making on the part of Republicans to maintain the advantage already enjoyed over the Democracy ol acting harmoniously and in concert.

Tbe scramble for the variotis legislative positions has began with great vigor. From present indications, the Republican slate for the house will be 8ayre, of Wabash, for speaker W..H. Smith for clerk U. Z. Wiley, of Benton, assistant clerk, and either Editor Scbraeder, of the Huntington Argus, or Major J. J. Finney, of Richmond, for doorkeeper. Other candidates for cleik are: O. M. Wilson, of this city, and Theodore McCoy, of Washington. F..r assistant clerk, Frank W. Raf lee, of Allen county T. E. Carter, of Jackson John W. Wilson, of Cosciusko. For doorkeeper, John Keys, of Henry John Goates, of Randolph 8. T. Yancey, of Hancock Klein Shrjock, of Fulton, and others. The contest for the speakership has narrowed down to Messrs. .Sayre and Gardner, both of whom are already heta. Either gentleman is well qnslified for the place, but Sayre has the advantage of a general acquaintance 'and much experience. Judge Gardner, however, isa man of ex cellent reputaiijn, and is making a very good impression upon his newly made acquaintances. Among the Dema rats there an a hundred or more candidates for senate positions. Jason Brown is spoken of the latest aspirant for tbe secretaryship, while Henry Ciay Darnell, of Putnam county, and Theodore Moss of Bioomfietd, are thought to be the most formidable candidates, although exSenator Snitb, of Jay, and Thomas L. Catterson, of Mitchell, are willin'. as.

Walsh, of this city, and John Carter, of Orange county, are the leading candidates for assistant secretary, and Ed. H. Write, of this city, and Mr. Pritchard, ex-superintendent of Police at EHBBville, for doorkeeper. For the minor positions there are candidates innumerable.

THE ILLINOIS SENATORSHIP.

Candidates for Gene 1 Logan's Seat— C*naou'« C»ndid«cy—Hamilton la the Le«d. Special to the Express.

PABIS, III., January 3.—As the time for the assembling of the legislature of Illinois draws near, the anxiety of who will be the next United States senator is high ened and already a great many slates have been made up. In the Fifteenth congressional district ot which this, Edgar county is a part, the chances of our congressional representative, Hon J. G. Cannon have been discussed. Mr. Cannon it has been said will be the next candidate for governor of this state, and some prominent' Republicans have said that with this fact in view, that his can didacy for United States senator will aid him in the race for governor, as he does not stand much of a chance outside of his district for the senatorship. His appearance on the ground of tbe conflict for the senatorship seems to present the fact that he will be a candidate. Senator George E. Bacon, of this city, left for Springfield Saturday. He was noncommittal as to his first choice for senator, but surely will support the representative from this district, Mr. Cannon. Mr. Bacon's second choice will probably be lor ex-Governor Hamilton in case Governor Oglesby is not a candidate, and in all probability Oglesby will not be in the race. Hamilton bas a number of admirers in this part of the district and should receive the heaity Bupport of all the soldiers. Farwell's chances are not spoken of here, as all of tbe prominent republicans in this section have expressed themselves in favor of a soldier to fill the vacancy. It has been generally conceded that Chicago, rightfully, is entitled to the vacancy as Logan belonged to the Chicago district, but some objections have been raised to the wealth of Farwell, by saying that be does not need the position and that as ldier should have it. Senator Cullum's friends will be. in favor of a soldier to Gil Logan's place, for the reason that when his term expires, even if he is not returned to the senate, a lawyer and a citizen can be selected. The probabilities are that as soon as the members arrive at Springfield, a great many of the slates already made up will be broken, but it is a fact that Hamilton is gaining ground, and is now far ahead what his friends thought he would be in the start. Oglesby Soppoieil be Working for Mr.

Cannon.

SPRINGFELD, III., January 3—Gov. Oglesby ariived here this morning, but refused to talk on the senatorial question further than to say he is out of the race, both directly and indirectly. Rumors' are current about ths Leland that Oglesby's withdrawal is in the interest of Congressman Cannqn. Mr. Cannon will arrive iu the city this evening. Jason Rodgers, Senator Lagan's brother in-

law, registered at the Leland late in the

expert Democratic politician in the state, day, but refused to talk on the senatorial and Holman is the only man who can'question cope with him in skillful management. While McDonald was reeling in dignity, and depended on his personal popularity to carry him through, Gray "hus-

hees, in I ehalf of McDonald, checked this move by procuring the appointment ot Lieutenant Governor Manson to a United States office. Now, after getting the Democrats to nominate a candidate for lieutenant governor who was defeated. Gray is trying to undo his work by the aid of the supreme court so that he may be still able to go to Washington in the upper house. Holman and McDonald are to combine against Gray and whichever one seems to be the more likely candidate is to reap the fruits of victory. If McDonald's case seems hopeless, then McDonald's strength is to be turned over to Holman, who is to labor for the dedefeat of Gray in any event. The calling of Holman into the fight is generally regarded as dangerous to Gray and fatal to McDonald. If the objector pulls any ch»stnutsjbut of the fire, he will pocket them. Ha cac easily head McDonald, but he wil have a good deal of trouble with Gra« who is thoroughly equipped and has A forces wall organised, and who is tbBnoat practical and proficient Democr#K leader Indiana has had sines the de^fnof Hendricks.

AND THERE.

A petition is being circulated in Sugar Crsek and Fayette townships lot the purpose of securing tbe construction of anew gravel toad from Libertyville to the St. MaTy'a gravel road. Already a large number liave signed the petition, and the energetic men who are further-' ing the project seem .determined to build the road. Vigo county, it must be confessed, is not as well supplied

with gravel roads as it might be. It't vibrate with the business wtrid. would appear that Terre Haute bas

somewhat undervalued such highways

in the past, but there is a growing dispo^

leadins to it from the surrounding conn

throughout the county are in favor of improving the condition of our highways.

The petition being circulated sets forth the benefits of the gravel road to Libertyville and BBks that an order be issued for the construction of the road, as provided by law. Tho petition further says: "And now vour petitioners ask that the right of way of said proposed gravel road be made forty feet in length that the road bed propar te made twenty-two feet in width and properly graveled. And your petitioners show the court that they are the owners of land along the ronte of taid proposed road which will be assessed the cost of

ln,

said improvements. Wherefore your

petitioners ask that their prayer be granted. Also, the contracts shall not be let to any contractor for more than two miles. Any taxpayer shall have the right to work out his tax provided he is ready to do the work when called on by the contractor."

Tbe road will be about seven miles in length. Its estimated cost will be about $8,000. It will pass within a mile of Vermillion, and about three mil of Sandford. It will run north a number of miles within three-fourths of a i. ile of the Illinois State line. Farmers living near the road in Illinois will donate lib eraliy and it is thought $2 000 can be seen red from this source. Terre Haute will probably be a»ked to do something toward building the road, .f

"Hello, Con," said^a friond of the much talked about Mr. Meagher, yesterday, "when are you going over to Indianapolis?"? .:-Tv "I am going over Wednesday," replied Mr. Meagher. "How long are you going to stay over there?" "Until the close of the session."

Con seems confidant that he will get his seat. He is of t^e opinion that the Republicans daie not throw him out. It has been suggested, however, that in case Con does not succeed in getting his seat, that he be appointed doorkeeper or sergeant-at-arms of the house. In both positions his magni cent physique would appear to good advantage. This is probably suggested as a sort of compromise, something similar to the compromise that was made when Con failed to get the nomination for trustee and was given a place on tbe Democratic, ticket for the office of justice of the peace.

The contest election case is drawing near a close. The legislature meets on the 6th instant, and the testimony which will be quite voluminous will be turned over to tbe committee on credentials Mr. Nicholas Filbeck stated to an Express reporter that he was in hopes he could secrtre p°vern' witnesses yesterday which would close the case. It has been very difficult to secure witnesses as quite a large number have refused to come before the justices and testify. Among this number is Thomas Hanlon. He was summoned to appear but Tom did not show up. Yesterday. Justice Feleenthal read apart of the testimony to a stenographer who will make a copy for Mr. Beasley.

Lamb have returned from the search for Mrs. McAllister, the mother-in-law of the former. They could find no trace of her and the case remains clouded in as much mystery as befoie It will be remembered that she was on her way to Kansas and was going over the Chicago & Alton. The road took a lively interest ia the search and furnished Messrs. Morrison and Lamb with a special train consisting of engine and parlor car to go over the line. Assistant Superintendent Gray joined in the search and accompanied the party over the road. Morrison and Lamb went as far as Kansas City. After a vigorous search and without finding the leaBt clue to the missing woman, they gave up their special train and returned home. The officials of the road informed them that if they so desired they cou'd continue to use tbe special train. Railway officia's and lacal authorities all along the line were placed on the lookout for Mrs. McAllister

The weather continued exceedingly cold all day Sunday. Saturday night was the coldest of the winter. Early in the morning the thermometer, at various place?, rtgistered 10, and as low as 13 degrees below zero. It continued to register about 10 degrees below until about midday, when the weather showed slight signs of moderatirg, and the thermometers registered the temperature at abont zero.- Sunday night was not as cold as Saturday nght and yesterday morning the temperature was a few degree^ below zero. Street travel Sunday was not heavy. Comparatively few ventured out owing to the cold and the slippery condition of the sidewalks.
