Voyles also supported Gray, saying that the Democratic party could not afford to an- tagonize the young inen of the party. Gray represents the young Democracy, and should be alyen consideration on this account. Repeated motions to adjourn were voted down by the Gray fuction, who were determined to carry ont thelr program at’ all hazards, When nominations were in order, Brown,.of Jack- son, nominated -McDonnld, Heffron notn- inated Gray, and Sluclair, of Allen, nom- inated Judge Lowry, of Fort Wayne, Gray received 82 votes, McDonald 19, and Lowry 2, Before the ballot was announced many of McDonald’s friends left in disgust, In the vote for STATE LIRRANIAN which followed, Mra, Peel, the present In- cumbent, received 21 votes, and Miss Porter, of Boone County, 15. During the evening Gov, Gray stayed about the lobby of the Grand Hotel and manifested great unensiness, Bo paced up and down the fobby, peered anxtously out of the win- dow as If watching for a messenger, went out several times and walked toward the Supreme Court room, where the caucus was in session, and returned, to await nery- ously for the result, During the afternoon and evening several persons urged him to go tu the caucus and prevent bitterness by with- drawing his name. This would have made him friends and given him strength In FUTURE CONTESTS, buthothoughta triumph new would give him prestige In the race for the Senatorship four years hence, and was determined to ob- tain. it. He -has obtained It, but it fs certain that his selfishness was a shortsighted policy, and his victory will prove his political destruction. McDonald's friends are outspoken in thelr determination to knife him at the first op- portunity. The assertion that he1s a repre- sentative ,of the Young Democracy scems false In view of the fact that several of tha Young Democraqy were atnong ‘those who most violently denounce him to-night. Sec- retary Shanklin sald: . “THI8 ENDS GRAX'S POLITICAL CAREER. inIndinna, He isa rulned man, and cannot be elected to any office. It was n shameful proceeding, and will not be forgotten.” Jlin Rice, late Secretary of the Demo- cratic State Central Comittee, enid it was a d—d shame, but could not tobe helped. No reason for this severe blow at McDonald Is given, and no fault is found In him by Democrats, but the reason given for the result {s merely that they wished to express their admiration for Gray, PENNSYLVANIA. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. PIILADELPtA, Jan, 14.—There Is Intense interest here over the unexpected turn in the Senatorial contention ot Harrisburg, and, ns the Legisinture {s not in session, the scene of hostilities Is, so far a3 the leaders aro.con- cerned, transferred to Philadelphia. ‘The bolt of the antl-Oliver members was deter- mined upon !n this city, anu it fs belleved to be the inspiration of Wharton Barker, the banker, owner of the American newspaper, widely known agan independent Republican, Mr, Barker went to Harrisburg yesterday morning, and found the Oliver people flushed with assured victory, and the Grow men de- _moralized and E IN THE DEPTIUS OF.

It is belleved that ho had made terms with Cam- eron’s manager, Quay, the night before, under which arrangement Cameron was to WAIVE OBJECTIONS and allow tho confirmation of McManes’ friend, Hartranft, for Collector for thls port, and also to make the Legislature keep its hands off tho Philadelphia Gas Trust. In consideration ot these favors MeManes was to hand over the Philadelphia delegation to Oliver, Barker, finding out about this trade, went to work at onco and organized the anti-ma- chine elamant under pledges of refusal to go into the caucus. He found coUperation in Wolfe and Mapes, tho leaders of the cru- sado ngalnet bribery two winters ago, and jn the whole nntl-machine following, and It was thought best to fight still under the name of Grow, although there was NO NoPE of his election, Meanwhile public opinion ts brought to bear in every way to keep up the spirit of the bolters. ‘The newspapers are speaking out boldly In favor of a grand on- slaught on Cameronism, and In Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and other cities to-morrow there will be, published the naines of hun- dreds of promincnt buainess-inen, all Re- publleans, who wish the movement well, Mr. Barker'a American says this evening: “Pennsylvania has proved her ability to smash the machine from this tinoon, As Mr. Cameron has shown his Indispositton to do anything of any value, AN UNENDING, RESOLUTE, TINELESS CRU- BADE against Camoron and.«Camoronianism in evury form Is begun, Every tigure of history that perverted the will of the people and trampled on the advancement of the Nation has sooner or lator met his Waterloo, -Mr, Cameron's {s not far off, The Indepondent Republicans will throw themsolves Into the contest with an ardor that is none the less active In thatitla born of personal vanity andambitlon, Their powor has boon sufll- elently demonstrated to make of value thelr latins to fight, and + a FIGUT THEY WILT.
