On tho first bal- lot a large proportion of the friends of Judgo Hoar cast their votes for Judge Devons, in tho vain hope of inducing tho friends of Mr. Dawes to abandon him and presont a Republican cardi- date for whom thoy could vote. On thie ballot, Mr. Dawes lacked 12 votes of s majority, the Democrats, according to an arrangement mado in thoir caucus yesterday, voted fur Judge Abpatt, but it had been given out that they were ready tochange to Adama if anything could be ac- complished theroby.

But atill tne Demo- crats went on changing to Adams, aud sovoral of those who had voted forJudge Devens changed to Adama, Why the Democrats persisted in absndoning their party candidsto at this atago wau not clear, uulesa they hoped to induco somo nervous Republican to change from Dawes to Adams.
