PRACTICALLY ENDED. The Tight In Ohio For the Control of the Legislature—Majority o( Fire ou Julut Biidot—That Is Conceded to the K«pu^ lleane I..' Allen O. Myers, of Oemocmtlo Stole Headquarters—There May he home ContestsColumbus, O., Not. 7.—The contest forcoutrol of the Ohio legislature is considered ended. The official counting in some counties will continue next week, but there lias been such close watching |hat no material changes are expected. The indications are that the seuate will stand 19 democrats and 17 republicans, and the house 51 democrats and 58 republicans, with a majority of five republicans ou joint ballot. There may be several contested seats, but these can not be considered till the legislature meets the first Mouday iu January next. Since it seems to be settled that the republicans have a small majority ou joint ballot, the rumors are vivid about a combine of certain republican members with the 7C democratic members for the election I of some oue other than Senator llanua on the joint ballot. When Senator Foralcer was indorsed by the republican state convention, two years ago. for his present position in the senate, there was no legislative caucus. It is announced now that there will be a republican senatorial caucus when the legislature convenes next January. Senator llauua was indorsed at the last state convention for the senate, but the old factional fight that formerly existed between Sherman and Foruker's following, aud later between the friends of McKinley and Foraker has been revived this year with more intense feeling thau heretofore. It is said that there are about a i >2eu ol the republicans who had some factiou11 opposition iu their counties, especially for their nominations, who do uot feel kiudly towards the junior Ohio senator.

1 he Dispatch prints an interview with Allen O. Myers,.of the democratic state headquarters, in which he says: “I stand to-day where 1 stood the day after the election, with Judge Nash, chairman of the Republican state committee, who says the senate will be 17 republicans and 19 democrats, and the house iS republican and 51 democratic, giving the republicans live of a majority on joint ballot for United States senator.’ Mr. Myers, in the report, does not say directly, but intimates that nothing will come of these efforts to get up contests in the legislature. M’LEAN GOES TO WASHINGTON. Speculation as to the Ohio Swi»tur*hip-.i Gubernatorial Possibility. Cincinnati. Nov. s.—John R. McLean aud party* left last night fot Washington. Mr. McLean has been considered the democratic candidate for senator, and his departure is regarded as an indication that he concedes the legislature to the republicans, notwithstanding the numerous notices of contest. Before hisdeparture Mr. McLean held a conference with Chairman McConville and other democratic leaders. There is nothing known as to the probable policy of the democrats as a minority in the legislature, but it is believed they will join the auti-Uauna republicans in briugiug a new man for senator. The questiou has been raised as tc whether 73 votes are necessary to elect a senator, that number beiug a majority of all. If a majority of a quorum only is necessary some might be sick or absent, as that would be less embarrassing than to be present aud vote against the caucus nominee. The point has also been raised as to the succession to the governorship. 11 governor Bushneli should be elected senator by a fusion, the lieutenantgovernor, A. W. Jones, would become the chief executive. As the state senate is democratic by 19 to 17 it is held that a democratic senator would succeed Joues and be in line for the governorship. Among the 19 conceded to the democrats in the senate is Senator Voight, of Cincinnati, a fusion republican, who holds the balance of power in that .body, and is non-com-mittal. DISGRACED THEIR FLAG.
