Fpeclal to the Indian spoils Journal. Lafayette. Ind., Jan. l, Thomas 13. Ward, for four years a representative in Congress from the Ninth congressional district, died New Year's morning at Plainfield, to which plaee he had gone on tbe day before for treatment Thursday Larry Clark, of this city, accompanied Mr. Ward to Plainfield, where it was his intention to place himself under treatment for his be setting disease. He was in a very alarm ing condition when he left here, and to some of his more intimate acquaintances the announcement of his death, less than twenty-four hours afterward, was no sur prise, although it created a great shock. Mr. Ward, as everbody knows, was his own enemy, and had been for years. Time and again he had tried to master the disease of drunkenness and to place himself on safe ground, but it was only a temporary refor mation; he soon relapsed. A few months ago be went to Dwigbt, 111., at the earnest solicitation of his friends, where he re mained for several weeks, under the bi chloride treatment of Dr. Keeley. He returned to this city, and at once began the work of building np a law practioe. such as be used to enjoy in the years long gone, ibis proved to be a slow process. The law business had dwindled down very much from what it was years ago, and the V . 1 , . T . r numoer oi lawyers nau increasea. loung men had struggled to the front, and were carrying the honors and winning the encomiums. For a time he adhered to his resolve never to touch another drop. He conversed freely about his condition and his feelings, and friends began to hope that he had at last mastered his foe. About three weeks ago, however, it was discovered that he had taken a relapse. He bad returned to his cups, and for days he was helpless and irresponsible. At times he was conscious of what he was doing, and would promise to make another ettort, but his good resolves were not sufficiently strong to hold him. On Thursday of last week it was the belief of his friends that the best thing to do for him was to send him to Plainfield, this State, and there give him another course of treatment. For that purpose he left here, accompanied by Lawrence Clark. The next heard he was dead. Mr. Ward was born in Marysville, 0 in April, 1S33, and in early youth his parents removed to this State, settling at Lafayette. He received a careful intellectual training, and. urged by his own inclinations and tbe advice of friends, he decided to embrace the profession of law. Mr. Ward graduated from Miarai University, Ohio, it and. after two years spent in special study, he was admitted to practice. Few men in this world have enjoyed f;reater evidences of esteem from their felowsthan did Thomas B.Ward. He was always a popular man with the masses. He was eleeted eity olerk when a mere lad; served aa eitv attorney repeatedly, was twice elected Mayor of this city, was appointed by Governor Hendricks as judge of tho Tippecanoe Superior Court and at the expiration of his term was nominated and elected to that position, notwithstanding he was a Democrat and this is a strong Ropnblican county. He was elected to Congress, defeating Hon. Godlove 8. Orth; ran against Charles T. Doxey, for the Abort term, caused by tbe death of Mr. Orth, and was defeated; was again pitted against Doxey for tbe congressional chair, and defeated him. showing that he was a strong and popular man before the people. Mr. Ward was a member of tho Masonto fraternity, and had been for many years. He was an extremely entertaining conversationalist, and -a good lawyer. He was for years associated in tbo law practice with Hon. John R. CorTroth. of this city, and the firm did a large business. His family has for some time resided in Washington, never having returned to Indiana since Mr. Ward's retirement from public life at tbe national capital. It is presumed that tbe body will be bronght to this city for interment, as he had spent nearly all his life in this city, and has two brothers residing here. Other Deaths. Philadelphia, Jan. 1.

HILL AND THE GOLD TRUST

Senator Stewart Fires Some Pertinent Questions at the New York Politician. Wants to Know Why the Ex-Governor's Utterances en the Silver QGestion at Albany Do Not Consist with Those Made at Elmira. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington', Jan. L Senator Stewart, of Nevada, to-night seut the following letter to ex-Governor Hill, of New York, criticising the latter's position on the silver question: My Dear SirIf you are in favor of free bimetallio coinage on the ratio now established by law why do you take pains to repudiate Nevada? Nevada is and alwavs has been, since silver was demonetized, in favor of restoring the white metal to the place it occupied as money previous to the passage of tho mint act of 1S73. No Representative from that State ever advocated in either House of Congress any other doctrine. ln your Elmira speech you' advocated free bimetallio coinage. In your Albany speech, onjNew Year's eve, you advocated the repeal of the act of 1800, which gives tbe people more money by the difference between silver .certificates issued on the coinage of $21,000,000 worth of silver per annum and the amount of treasury notes issued in the purchase of 51,000,000 ounces . i .lit ox silver uuiiion eacn year, louaiso propose to deny to the farmers and planters the benefit of the enhanced price of silver in which the value of their products is measured, knowing full well that the increased demands under the act of l&O over the requirements of the Bland act enhances tbe value of silver. "The lead of Nevada for free coinage seems odious to you. although tbe lead of the Chamber of Commerceof New York, a representative body of tbe gold trnst. you follow with alacrity. Tho gold trust, through the Chamber of Commerce, demands the repeal of tbe act of 1S90. You re-echo tbat demand and advise Mr. liland, the chairman of the house committee on coinage, to obey it. If he .will do so and pretend to be for free coinage while legislating to limit the use of tiilver you assure him of the resoect, admiration and support of tbe Democracy of New York. yAre you aware, Mr. Hill, that this is tho old story; that the people of the South and West have been assured ever since silver was rejected as money of tbe respect and admiration of the New York Democracy if they would co-operato with the representatives of the gold trust in contracting tjie real money of the world to gold alonef There is no doubt tbat every speculator in Asiatic products, who buys cheap silver in the United States, coins it into rupees or other Asiatic money, and exchanges it at par in Asia for wheat, cotton and other products, and pockets tbe difference, will admire and support any Western man who will aid in perpetuating this extortion. Tbere is no doubt that every great banker of New York who invests and collects on foreign account and is required by his European patrons to collect in dear money, will admire and support any Western man who will betray his constituents, by restricting the use of silver. "Your Elmira speech, stripped of the suggestion of the employment of the cuttlefish policy to deceive the people, would have met with the unbounded gratitude and admiration of the producers of wealth in the United States. 1 was so much impressed with your utterances in favor of tree bimetallio coinage that 1 indited a letter of congratulation to you and refrained from sending it on account of tbo concluding portion of tbat speech, wherein you suggested tho possibility of obtaining a partisan advantage by non-action during the present session of Congress, because the President and a majority of tbe Senate were Republican and might share in the popularity sure to follow tbe free coinage of silver. I did not at tbat time suppose that you were playing a part in Harmony with the sold trust and in concert with tho movement inaugurated by the Chamber of Commerce of hew Y'ork to repeal tbe act of 1S90. ''Mr. Hill, have you discovered that that act must inevitably lead to bimetallic coinage to prevent tbe depreciation of silver! Do yoq know tbat tbere are nearly five hundred millions of silver coin in the United States, including bullionr awaiting coinage, and that no means is provided by law for the redemption of the treasury notes issnod under the act of 1800. except tbe gold and silver ccin reoeived for duties and taxes and ' the silver coin produced from, the bullion acquired under that actf lias the gold trust ascertained that there Is no possibility under existing law of accumulating sufficient gold to pay the national debt and redeem the outstanding greenbacks and legal-tender treasury notes, issued for the purchase of silver, without a very large use of silver coin for such purposes? Do yon see that tbo existing law most inevitably forco all parties to advocato free bimetallic coinage! If yon do not understand the situation the gold contraetionlsts do. In order to prevent the passage of a free coinage act they propose to repeal the law of 1SP0. "1 am sorry if yon are really in favor of free bimetallic coinage, as declared in your Elmira speech, that you have fallen into tbe trap set by tbe fold trust and are now willing to aid them in their efforts to confine the real money of the world to gold alone. If the Democracy of the South and West adopt yuur policy and make a retrograde movement at the present session of Congress the people will place very little confidence in promises to restore tree coinage when yonr party shall have obtained control of every department of the government Those who are for free bimetallio coinage on the ratio established by law are for it now and at all times. Those who are against it advise the people that they must wait for a favorable opportunity. "Let me assume you, my dear sir. that the restoration of silver to its place as money has been delayed for more than fifteen years by excuses, mauy of which were more plausible than those you put, and tbat the people have come to the conclusion that persons who are good in making exsuses are worthless advocates of free coinage."

CONTEST OF GREAT MOMENT Liberals and Dissidents Striving for Hartington's Late Seat in Parliament. r Result of the Election Will, in a Measure, Determine the Fate of Lord Salisbury's MinistryThe Explosion at Dublin C&stle. Copytljiiit, 1S92. ty the New Tork Associated Press. 1 London, Jan. L No bye-election during the existence of the present government has approached in interest and vital importance the coming con test for. thoRossendale seat vacated by Lord Harrington. Both .parties, fully alive to the fact that the loss of tbe seat will ' be accepted throughout' the country as an almost decisive test of tbe fate of the Ministry in the coming elections, will strain their resources in money and local influence and be alert in the use of every known electioneering art in order to compass a triumph. Lord Hartington held the seat partly in. family interest, partly on account of personal popularity and partly as a Unionist. The vote will decide whether the electorate, which is fairly representative of the whole of Lancashire, is on purely political grounds Gladstonian or Dissident. The Dissidents will throw their full (strength into the contest. Sir Thomas Brooke, tbo Dissident candidate, is Lord Hartington's own choice. Joseph Chamberlain, Sir Henry James, T. W. Russell, Mr. liright and a number of other Unionist members of the House of Commons will speak in the canyass of electors. . The Gladstonians already mnster twentyfive members of the House of Commons working for their candidate, Mr. Maden, who is a young andlluent sneaker, almost an orator, with strong family connections in the district. Mr. Schnadhorst will reinforce his twenty-five, speakers by Mr. Broadhursts, M. P.. the trades-union wirepuller, and Mr. Hurt, M. P., tbe miners' . member, besides selected factory delegates. Lord Hartington's valedictory to the electors has no special bearing on the contest. He says that he does not regret the rupture with his old Liberal colleagues, as it saved the country from a violent constitutional change; that tbe statesmen whom the disruption of the Liberals placet! in power have proved to be able and Tigmus administrators, passing practical and beneficient measures, and that he trusts that Roasondalo will continue to support tho Dissident party. In reality the Unionists dread tbe issue, a rapid canvass of the district already made having disclosed a surprising Gladstonian bias. Victor Cavendish, who will succeed to the dukedom of Devonshire if Lord lif.rtington does not marry, and who was recently elected without opposition to the West Derby seat, vacated by the death of his fatber. Lord Edward -Cavendish, was the first nominee for the Rossendale seat, but his youth and tbe dyi jr of. risking his present seat led to the withdrawal' of his name. The report that the new Dnke will now marry the dowager Duchess of Manchester is discredited in his own circle. Intimate friends hold that the Duko will never marry. The explosion at Dublin Castle, yesterday, has led . to a revival of reports that Fenianiem is again in active force.. An American emissary is eaid to be reorganizing tbe country circles and centers. The McCarthyites have attributed the regrowth of secret societies to the prompting of tho Parnelhtes, but no prominent Parnellite is known to be associated in the movement.. The Dublin police affect to believe that the league and the Gaelic atbletio clubs have become tbe food of conspiracy. Regarding tbe cause of tbe explosion, there is no official decision. Mr. Candell. inspector of explosives, and Sir Charles Cameron reexamined tbe place of tho explosion today, but failed to discover any thing upon wbicb to base a definite opinion. The workmen who were repairing tho rooms are suspected because they were refused a holiday yesterday. The balence of official opinion remains entirely against the theory of a serious plot.- Tho suspected workmen will be examined to-morrow. The funeral of Prince Victor of Hohen-lohe-Laugenburg will take place on Monday at Sunuingdale, and will be devoid of oeromony. The Prince of Wales, the Duko of Connaught and the Duke of Edinburgh will be present. His death leaves a vacancy in the governoisbiP of Windsor Castle, which position is destined for another needy German princeling. The court circle is interested in tbe position 'of the deceased's children. When he married 111 as Seymour tbe Queen refused to recognize the wife as a princess, but the two were admitted to court as the Count and Countess Gleicben. Similarly, when the Duke of Richmond's sister married Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimer they were only recognized as Count and Countess Dernberg. The marriage of Princess Beatrice and 'Prince Henry of llattenberg obliged the Queen to concede to the wives of Prince Victor of Hoheulohe-Langenburg and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimer the rank of princesses, with the privilege of standing in lino behind royalties at receptions. A question now arises as to what places the children will take. The children of Prince Henry of Battenburg take his own rank, and it is contended that the children of Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Liugenburg sucoeed to tbe privileges of their father. Prineo Louis of Battenburg is gazetted for promotion from the rank of commander to that of captain in tbe navy. The advent of the newyear was notmnch noticed here. Of course. tbe usual mid? night religious services were held. The wild mob accustomed to orgies around St. Paul's Church ushering in the year was less rowdyish than usual, the police checking Its exuberance and the church authorities abandoning the playing of the'bells. The Queen's New Yeur's gifts to thetieedy servants of Windsor Castle, Osborne House and other royal domains consisted of beef, clothing and coal. "v"Tue Osborne case has occasioned ' extensive discussion on the law of divoroe. Prof. Francis E. Newman argues that Captain Osborne ought to be legally empowered to divorce bis wife. Mr. Robert Buchanan pleads tbat only one hand can help an erraut wife her husband's, feeing that .Captain Osborne has not turned upon her, nobody has a right to speak for him. Princess Victoria, of Hawaii, who has been educated in England, will go to Wellesley College, near Boston, to finish her education. A Luck Little Immigrant. New York, Jan. 1, Without any ceremony or formal opening tbe immigration officials of this city to-day settled down on Ellis 'island, in the harbor, and the barge office is known to them no more. The steamship Nevada was the first to arrive at tbe new landing place. Her immigrants were put aboard tbe barge J. E. Moore, and. amid tbe blowing of fog-horns and whistles, approached tbe pier. Charles M. Hanl.v private secretary to the late Secretary indoni. who bad asked permission to be allowed to register tbe first immigrant, was at tbe registry desk, when tbere came tripping up fifteen-year-old Annie Moore and her little brother. They had come from Cork to meet their mother who lives here. Colonel Weber greeted Annie, and then presented her with a crisp new ten-dollar biiL

MURDERED BY A BURGLAR

Lucebra Marsh, of Seymour, Shot Down , bjaThief Hellad Grappled With. A Negro Tracked to North Ternon by a Mob Which Has Rim Surrounded in a Thicket and Is Being Kept at Bay by Ballets. frecial to the InAianapoUs Journal. Seymour, Ind., Jan. 1. Burglary and murder was the double crime enacted hero about 3:30 o'clock this morning. Lucebra Marsh, a powerful man, chased a thief out of his housoin the suburbs, and was shot through the breast' during a desperate struggle in the door-yard. He did . not live long enough to give a description of the man. Ween his terrorstricken wife, hearing tbe report of the revolver, came running out to her husband's assistance, tbe murderer had disappeared. Mr. Marsh raised his , head and attempted to say something, but the eflort was but a gasp. Ho fell back dead in his night clothes, just as he had eprung from his bed to grapple with his slayer. It appeared tbat the robber had gained entrance to tbe house ny propping np a rear window, nsing a long-bladed knife, which was afterwards found sticking in the sash. He had already ransaoked the house when Mr. Marsh awoke and made for bim. The marauder sprang through a window, taking the sash with him. Mr. Marsh darted through , a door and overtook the tftief in the yard. They stumbled over a coil of wire fencing and went down together. This enabled the fellow to break loose and draw- his., weapon. Otherwise he would probably have had the life choked out of him by Marsh's muscular fingers. Marsh was shot through the right breast, the weapon having been held so close that the powder burned his nightclothes. As soon as the alarm was given the sherifl'gathered a posse at the house, and by daylight they were ready to start on the trail Of tho murderer. It was apparent from tbe tracks tbat he had worn coarse stockings over his shoes, liy his peculiar foot-print hia course was followed through a five-acre lot to the woods, where tbe trail was lost Perhaps one hundred citizens joined in the hunt, blood-hounds having been sent for to assist in the search. For a time there was some doubt as to the direction taken, but the E. & 1L section crew from Azalia reported baving seen a huge negro leave tbe track and cut through a field and then take the track again when they bad passed bim. Tbe same negro was seen at 'Azalia, Scipio and Elizabethtown making rapidly toward North Vernon. His clothes were torn and his face showed recent cuts and scratches. In addition to tbat his hands were bleeding one being wound in rags injuries supposed to have been received in bis jumping through the window at Marsh's residence. At 3:30 o'clock this afternoon the sheriff and a number of deputies took the train for North Vernon, and to-night word came back tbat the negro was surrounded in a thicket north of the town. He had been fired upon repeatedly, but seemed well supplied with ammunition, as fie frequently returned the fire of the citizens who had tracked him after receiving a telegram from this place to be on the lookout for him. When Horace White returned to-night and gave the above information, a special train was at once made up, and shortly after 9 o'clock it left for the scene, carrying hundreds of citizens armed with rifles, shotguns aud revolvers, determined to capture the murderer and capture him rather dead than alive. It is impossible to overestimate the excitement in Seymour tonight. The sympathy of tbe entire town is extended to the widow and well-known daughters of the dead man. The ecene of tbe tragedy was overrun by vastscrowda all day. THE AGONY IN KANSAS ENDED. m t "Concluded from First Page. ing a petition to which was attached tbe signatures of one thousand representative men, representing particularly the shipping interests of Cleveland, who make a very strong appeal to the Cnyaboga delegation to support J. B. Foraker. This afternoon the delegation of Cleveland citizens, headed by Mr. Bradner, called upon Mr. Foraker in a body, assured hitn that be had many friends in Cuyahoga county, and that be would receive the support of at least a portion of their Assemblymen. SPEECH BY THE EX-GOVERNOR. Governor Foraker responded in a brief speech, which was loudly applauded at frequent intervals. He said: "Mr. Bradner and Gentlemen I am very much gratified toreceivoyourcali andyour cordial greeting, and I am specially pleased witb tbe assurance you give me tbat 1 bave friends in Cuyahoga county. There have been many reports sent out from the city of Cleveland to tbe erl'ect that tbe sentiment of the Republicans of your city and county was practically altogether in favor of my competitor, and tbat tbis was particularly true as to the solid, substantial business interests of your great city. 1 recognize among your number representatives of some of the largest aud most important industries of wbich your city can boast, as well as representatives of all the other classes of the Republican party. To be assured by you that 1 have the support of snoh Republicans as you represent, to such a number you have named, is not only gratifying but encouraging. Tbe contest to which you have referred is entirely friendly. It is among ourselves, aud not only is it confined to Republicans, but properly it is confined to the Republicans of Ohio alone. Applause. 1 'Turn simple-minded enough to believe tbat the Republicans of Ohio are capable of determining for themselves by whom they want to be and should be represented in tbe Senate of tbe United States, aud that itislittlo short of impertinence to have ontsido people and interests dictating what we shall do. Applause.1 But, however this may be, when this contest has been ended, the result, no matter what that may be, should be cheerfully accepted by every Republican. lApplause.l 1 know, and it is with no little pride that I say it, that every supporter of mine will so accept it without regard to whether it results favorably to me or not. Applause . Iu other words, it is with no little pride that 1 realize that no supporter of mine in this contest has put forward the claim that my election is necessary to keep my friends loyal to tbe Republican party. Cheers and applause.1 it is with pardonable pleasure and pride, I trust, that 1 am able to say that no mattor who succeeds now, every Republican who honors me with his support will -be loyal to the Republican party and Its standard-bearer in the great campaign tbat is now before us, and in every other campaign tbat is hereafter to come. Applause aud cries of 'That's Tight, that's rfght'.l "I am proud of another thing, ana that is that no Democratio newspaper, either in Ohio or in the United States, is supporting me in this contest (applause, and that outside of personal friends and' acquaintances tbo whole Democratic party is in hostile array against me. Cbeers. Tbere is much consolation in this fact. It will keep mo clear from all embarrassment with rrspect to our Democratic friends on account of senatorial courtesy. (Laughter and applause. lint, gentlemen. I will not detain you. Cries of 'Go on, go on,' I again thank you and assure yon of my appreciation for your visit and for the kind expression of compliment and good will in which you have seen fit to indulge. I wish you a happy New Year and many returns." Great applause and cheers. TIUiEATS OF FARMERS. The Farmers' Alliance has not proven itself a very potent political factor in Ohio, but strenuous attempts are being exerted to secure the influence of the organization against the re-election of Senator Sherman. Mr. J. P. NitchelL chairman of the legislative committee of the Franklin county Alliance, states this evening tbat be is here to oppose Senator Sherman. "From tbis time on until the fight is over.1' saiti be. "I shall give my attention to tbe members whom we know should vote against Sherman, and they will be held to their pledges.

of the Alliance, of which O. 1L Aldricb is chairman, to be on baud next Monday, to exert its iulluence in tbe same direction." Senator Sherman's friends treat Mr. Mitchell's statements with unfeigned levity, and insist that he represents nobody but himself in bis declarations, and that the Farmers' Alliance, as an organization, is taking no formal action m the contest. Senator Welsh, of Knox county, still maintains his peculiar position in the contest, and is hilariously endeavoring to create a McKinley boom, greatly to tbo embarrassment of tbo.Governor-elect. He has announced positively that he will never support Sherman, and asserts that the proper solution of the question is tho election of Major McKinley, who, he says, is a national character, is clean, and honest, and able, and has not had any part in the animosities of the present campaign. He will unquestionably vote tor McKinley, but tbe friends of Mr. Foraker claim thev will receive his support on the second ballot, should the contest be prolonged to a second ballot. They concede, however, that one ballot will probably settle the fight. The senatorial contest unexpectedly took a sensational turn late to-night when exGovernor Foraker made a speech criticising the interference of the national administration and declaring for James (J. Blaine for the presidency. A delegation of several hundred admirers of the ex-Governor marched to the Neil House, and after cheering their candidate vociferously, nroceeded in a body through the corridors and upstairs to the Foraker headquarters. There were load cries of "Speech, speech." and the Governor gracefully responded to the invitation. "My fellow-Kepublicans," said he, "somebody eaid about three months ago that he would not 'scramble' for re-election. I Laughter. It is my impression that he las changed his mind about it. ILaugbter. At least that is indicated by the presence iu tnis city to-night not only of all tho representatives, by appointment, that hold oilice within the borders of our State, but all who can be commanded from all the confines of tbe United States. Cheers. We have in this tight to coutend upon our side ugainst everything, as 1 once said before, from grandfather's hat to Baby McKee. (Renewed cheers. But against all we shall win the light. Applause. I know whereof I speak, and I hesitate not to make that prediction withont any qualification whatsoever. Tremendous applanse. We did not seeic tbis light a voice, "That's right", but when it was thrnst upon us we did not hesitate to accept tho challenge. Applause. When anybody wants a hgbt he can get it if he conies asking for it Laughter. We are iu it; we are in it earnestly; we are in it for success., and we are in it with good ' nature applanse and voices, "That's right"; and with good nature we can a fiord to be in it, for we are in it in the proper sense cf the term. Great applause There are no long faces outside of the Kiel House. lApplause. CLAIMS TO BE A IlEFL'BLICAN. "And, my fellow-citizens ana fellowRepublicans, there is one thought about it something I am proud of no man who is honoring roe with his support in this contest is saying that I must be elected to save tbe Republican party. Great applause. I don't want the support of any man in this contest who would not rather have John Sherman to be re-elected than any Democrat on the face of the earth. Tremendous applause. I am aRepublican from the top of myjtiead to tbe soles of my feet. Applause. I am for the Republican above any man. lApplause. My own interest is as nothing compared with the interest of tbe grand old organization of whioh we are juttly so proudly to belong. lApplause. And so my fellow-Republicans, no matter what may be the result of tbis contest, let defeat come, if that be so willed, every man who is of my following will be following after the banner of the Republican party in the next contest to the last man. I Cheers. I so believe in tho principles and doctrines of Republicanism tbat 1 conld not be a Democrat any more than I could steal my neighbor's horse applause, and I could not sulk or play the mugwump if I wanted to i applause, and tbere Is nothing on the ace of the earth tbat would make me want to. "Now, my fellow-citizens, with good will to everybody, with good will particularly to every Republican, with an eye single to the good of our great party in the great national contest-opening before us, let as go forward with earnestness, but with charity for every man who may differ with us. Applanse. 1 have no ill-will toward any Republican, because perchance he should favor Senator Sherman instead of myself. Applanse. I have been favoring Senator Sherman myself for tbe last thirty years. lApplause. Twice have 1 nominated him for the presidency, aud eaeh time witb wordsof earnest commendation and praise, but not one word did I otter tbat 1 did not mean and believe, and not one word wonld I retract now. Cries of 'Good, good!' He has been a great man. and is a great man yet He has rendered distinguished serTlees. His record is illustrious. He is all tbat is Implied by the term 'graud.' IApplaase.1 But my fellow-citizens, if the Republicans of Obio should happen to take a notion to say he has been there long enough, and to bare me go there to take bis place. I am not going to stand in the way of their doing. Applause. I do not feel called npon to do anything of tbat kind,aud if the Republicans of Ohio should tske a notion, nobody will accept the result more gra ciously than beuator bberman himself. Applause. If. they should be ot a inerent opinion. and think Le ought to go back, 1 shall endeavor to accommodate myself to the situation, and in the next battle yon will find me, as heretofore, shoulder to shoulder with you for the standard-bearer, whomsoever he may be. helping all I can in tbe presentation of our principles, and doing all tbat it may be in my power to do to win success for our great party and for the good and glory of tbe United States. Tremendous applause. 1 do not know who tbis next standard-bearer may be. Our present President has given ns a good administration, but if the people of Obio should take a notion tbat James G. Blaine should be the nominee great applanse! we will try and accept that too, and if he should be named we will triumphantly elect him cheers, and when he shall bave been elected we will have in the White House the greatest of all living Americans." Tremedous applause.1 BREAK IN rOltAKKK'a RANKS. Great exettement was created late tonight by the aAaounoement that Represents-

INTHE MARKET' five William H. Die Us, of Cincinnati, nam ilton county, had openly declared for bberman. Mr. Dicks's action was regarded as most significant from the fact tbat it meant a break in the Hamilton county dele, gation which has heretofore been claimed as solid for Foraker. To definitely settle tbe question of bis allegiance, Mr. Dicks himself called at the Sbermaa headquarters aud personally pledged his! support to the Senator. "I have decided to support yon." said he, "and its fair everybody here should know bow 1 stand." Ibis settles the question of Dicks's preference, but Mr. Foraker's friends state to-night that thev have never regarded him as more than a doubtful man, and that tbey will havo tho votes necessary for nomination without his support . Several prominent citizens of Cleveland and Cuyahoga county, headed by Hon. Mark Hanna, called npon Senator Sherman tbis evening and assured him that he would receive thy substantial support of tho Cnyaboga county delegation, despite the reports to the contrary. "It gives me great pleasure, gentlemen," said the Senator, "to meet you. 1 am glad of this assurance of Cleveland's hearty support as represented by many prominent citizens. lApplause.1 M v past experience leads me to believe thai when Cleveland promises anything she always fulfills her obligations. Applause.1 Tbis is a friendly contest and alter it is over we will still bo Republicans and always remain Republicans." Cheers. The legislative caucus for tbe nomination of nlhcers of tbe House will be Leld at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. The light on the speakership is very close, the candidates being Lewis C. Laylm of Huron and John F. McGrew of Clark county. Tbe possibilities are in favor of Mr. Laylm. but this, it is now conceded, will not be a sure index on the senatorial question. Several members who wili positively vote for Governor Foraker have been for months pledged to Mr. Layhn, and they will vote for bim and against Sherman. Yet no attempt is made to deny the lact tbat Laylm is the recognized "hermau'' candidate. The United States senatorial caucus will not be held until Wednesday next, but there is no doubt that tbe contest will be practically settled long before that and that the caucus will be but a mere formal afiair. It is generally conceded that Hon. Jas. K. Neat of Butler county, chairman of the Democratio Statejexecutive committee, will reoeive the Democratio caucus Domination tor United States Senator, The honor merely is a complimentary one, of course, and is a recognition of the gentleman's eervicoa to the party in the last campaign. The latest-developments indicate that there will be a contest for the Democratio speakership nomination. Representative Price, of Hocking county, bas heretofore been regarded as the only aspirant for the empty honor, but it seems that Representative Reitter, of Montgomery, is also a candidate. Senators Nicols of Belmont, Lampson of Ashtabula, and Carpenter of Fayette are tbe Republican candidates for president pro tempore of the Senate. Tho caucus nomination is, of course, equivalent to an election, and each candidate appears to have equal ehances. Senators Geyer of panlding, Forbes of Coshocton, and Shaw of Auglaize are all mentioned for tbe Democratic complimentary nomination An Extravagant Claim. CoLtMBUS, O., Jan. 2. There was great excitement in the Foraker camp atl o'clock tbis morning, when extended interviews were given of the pledging of Representatives L. C. Reeves, of Ashtabula, and Williams, of Noble county, to the support of Foraker. The Foraker managers claim this insures his nomination. HILL GIVES Ur ONE OKriCK.
