ves m, aa Bose ere e wo Bes THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, comes from a perfectly reliable source that one of the returning members from the southern part of the State has a neatly- drawn resolution fn his Inside cont-pocket, amd will he here tn tho morning to offer ft. The resolution Is wnderstond to bristle with nich phrases 9 “extortion YM diseriniian: tlon,'t “ nonfeasanee in off ple, ete, andl toprovide for the appointment of nspeclal committee of nine to Investizate ANY AND ALL CHARGES which may have been or may be preferred ngalnst the Board, Its author has thrown eeveral tomahawks at the ralfroads in his {ime, and to-morrow’s offering will be just in iS are also tolerably clear Intlinations tonight that, when the Governor sents in the name ot John BP. Reynolds, of Chicago, for reappotntuient ns Chief Grain Inspector in the City by the Lake, a stalwart effort will be mado to “down him’ in the Senate. ‘As nearly as it can .bo gotten at, the chief trouble with the — present Inspector fs that he has exhibited too Nitto noxlety for the welfare of some of the party workers, aud has provided places under his giftfer nsomewhat numerous collection of gentlemen more or less Indefinitty deseribed i “HUNGRY DEMOCRATS By way of first showing how politically un- certain he has been, 1b fs alleged that on one occasion he openly declared that he didn’t care whether Cullom or ‘Trumbull was elected, ‘Tho Stalwart department of the Republican ranks chafe considerably at such alleged evidences of party infidelity, and the rod which they have had in piekle for Mr. Reynolds Is sald to have been well “ brined.” WISCONSIN, Apeelat Dispateh to The Unieago Tribune, Mavison, Wis, Jan. 1%—The Senatorial situation In Madison over Sunday has been dull enough, although both eandidutes have semalued on thefield of battle and slept upon tholrarms. But mostof tha members who could rench home by ral! went off to the bosoms of thelr finilles on Friday night, and are now returning to the Capital largely relnforced by their constituents who have cons down to Madison to see the sport aud excitement incident to the election of o United States Senator, Mr. Sawyer came on Inst week with a Inrge delegation of personal and political friends, and Mr. Keyes seenisto. be tha choles of almost covery one here in Madison, so that the blowers and strikers were ubout evenly divided, although the “Sawyer gang,” as their oppo- nents euphoniously dubbed them, were the more —negressive and self- asserting. ‘The Sawyer men clatmed the first blood beennse the friends of MeCord and Bradford--both Sawyer men—united their forces and elected tho latter Speaker over Mr. MeFetridge, the Keyes candidate, ol- thongh it was stoutly denied that the ques- tion of the Senatorship entered ut all into the ennvass for Speaker, ‘That question was set- tled on Wednesday, and there is no denying but that It glves Mr, Sawyer and his triends agood deat of assurance in his ultinite suc- cess, Soimuch 50 that they determined to force the fighting, and at once proposed to hold the caucus for the nomination of a can- didate fer Senator ag early us Thursday even- Inga thing quite unprecedented In such eases, Dutinanifestly as fulr forone side as the other. ‘I'his proposition was stoutly resisted by the friends of Mr. Keyes, who declared it anattempt at bulldozing, and a: postpone- ment until Wednesday evening noxt was finally ngreed upon, ‘The Keyes men now suspect that the proposal to hold the caucus on Thursday evening was shuply a felnt on tho part of thelr opponents to test thelr cour- age, and they belleve that, if It had been agreed to on their part, tho party of the sec- ond part would have found spme good ex- tuse for postponing ft. As it was, and Is, the nervousness of Mr. Keyes’ matiagers nt the prospect of an carly caucustended to inspirit Mr. Sawyer's backers, und thoy became more Arrogant than ever. ‘They then assumed the accommodating rOle, and graciously conde- scended to say that If tho friends of Mr. Keyes wished for longer time in which to prepare for the trinl of strenzth that thoy were In a condition to grant auy extension that was desired, ‘Tho feeling on the outside of tho camp sines the adjournment last Friday Is that Sawyer Is not so strong as ho was Inst week, and the same opinion Is held among the best judges of the situation In regard to Mr. Keyes; in short, that there is now a inuch better chnuce for a third candidate than at any thine since the meeting of the Legisla- ture, ‘Ehis view of the case Is scouted by all Mr. Sawyer’s adherents, who persistently Insist that he has votes cnough pledged to nomnate him on the first formal ballot, and that they will be so cast. ‘This is what thoy have claimed ull atong, and’ even before the session comnienced, but the claim has been just as persistently denied by the sup- porters of Mr. Keyes,. The Sawyer men ogo on step further, and bollly and operfly assert that Senators W.'T, Price, of Jackson, and Sam Fifield, of Ashiand, both heretofore strong Koyes men, have already given in thelr adherence to the Sawyer army and enlisted under the banner of Old Philete.” If this Is true,—and tho tory Is well nuthenticated,—it will prove a damaging blow to Mr, Keyes, as both Price and Fitleld are active and intiuential pollti- clang who never put tholr hands to tho plow and look back, ‘The figures at tho Keyes headquarters give that gentloman forty-two votes, a clatm that Is Inughed at by the other side, who ale low him put thirty at most, and name tho only members, they allege, who are pledged to bin; but if there is any substantial foundation to reckon on forty-two or even forty votes for Keyes on tho first ballot it Will play the deuce with Mr. Sawyor’s calcu- Intions, and ho is in imminent danger of de- feat afterall, The whole number of votes In the caucus will be 103; necessary to a choice fifty-two, Mr. Sawyer claims that he hus fifty-six; Keyes, thirly; In favor of a third candidate yet to be named, seventeen, But it Mr, Keyes has forty votes, as his side slang, Mr, Sawyer's votes on thu first ballot tre not Ikely to go beyond forty-vlght or fifty, In Which caso it might be easy to defent hin, Some of his friends freely admit that if Saw- yer ls not nominated on the first or second formal ballot it will be fatal to his ‘election and thoy are therefore putting forth bercu- lean efforts to “whoop ’em up” on tha start. ‘Tho contest hag got to that bitter pass already that le Mr; Keyes is not nomlnuted he will brevent the election of Sawyer If possible, . Which, {f not vlotory, {a yot revenge, ‘sone of Milton’s defeated pollticluns sald Na notable occasion, Keyes will seek to dictate the nomination In case of his own fetent, “and you bet your Ife,” as ong of ils enthuslastls supporters sald last night, It won't be Old Sawlogs,” ‘ In the event of nelther Keyes nor Sawyer neti the nomination next Wednesday Ugh four gentlemen have already been Prominently linmed as candidates,—ex-Gov, Fetbumn, Congressman Willins, of the Unit District, Judgu Charles E, Dyer, of the t ted States District Court, and John B, Cencday, Associate Justice of the Supreme hee Washburn {a hore, and declares that rel § Hot in the race, and all the others have ‘efused to enter for the heat, although all of sition fe no doubt, gludly accept the po- shouta Srna to them.

Mamson, Wis, Jan. 1%—The call for the Republican Legisiative eaueus to nominate a United States Senntor has not yet been rissned by tho: Committee, but the under. standing of Inst week that it will be held on Wednesday oventng will doubtless be enr- fed Into effect. The Keyes managers, who Insisted on the postponement of the caucus until this week were evidently correct in their judgment, as the delay has notoriously strengthened him, and the most snguclous observers now declare that the result will be close and doubtful, whoreas the first hurrah Inat week was exceedingly FAVORARLE TO BAWYE, and gave an apparent plausibility to tho elahn of hy supporters that he wauld bo nominated at au ently stage of the balloting. 4 prominent Senator to-night stated to your correspondent that Ite did not believe a candl- date would be nominated at the first caucus Wednesday evening.. 1f this Judement ts correct {t negatives the clatins of both eandl- dntes as to thelr expected strength tn ean cus, and foreshadows a tong and spirited contest. ‘The delegations from various coun- ties who have appeared tn the lobbies to-day in the interest of Mr. Keyes are VENY NUMEROUS, and consist of lending working Republicans, Including business-men, farmers, ant othors, from tho various loculltles, These delega- Yong are largo and numerous from Rock, Walworth, Waukesha, Sauk, and Buffalo Countles, snd thelr presence has had a marked effect on the votes heretofore re- garded as doubtful. ‘The members of the Lexistatura who remained over Sunday.in the city friendly to Mr. Keyes held a conter- ence at his headquarters this afternoon, Among those present were Senators Ryland. of Graut, Quarles of Kenosha, Blackstone of Lafayette, Burrows of Dare, and Assembly- men Dingstun, Rewey, Howe, Dann, and others, numbering twenty-five or twenty-six inall, They entered upon. A THONOUGIE COMPARISON OF, VIEWS, and completed tally-Hsts_ showing tho names certain for Keyes, and classifying others ne- cording to the best available information as to tho facts. Mr, Keyes was present, and the entire plan of the campaign was considered. ‘Those present at the caucus expressed the best of feeling, and x degree of confidence Is apparent In the Keyes camp which has not been before exhibited, [nan interview with Mr. Keyes this evening, ho stated that he certainly expected to be nominated after'n few ballots, and that he was no party to 1 dork-horse movement, and did not expect that any such movement would work.

Mr, Sawyer has made AN ACTIVE PERSONAL CANVASS of the members remaining over and arriving during the day, visiting for that pur- pose the Senate and Assembly Chambers, and going from seat to sent soliciting the support of members, Ile wears a graver aspect to-day, and the serfous part of the campnign ts evidently telllng on fis physteal resources. The moro prominent leaders do not abate ‘any of thelr claims, while others auietly give a considerably lower figure as the iimit to thelr expectations. For Instance, Postmaster Payne — still Insists. that Sawyer will get sixty-odd votes on the first ballot, while another Mtl- waukeo Custom-Ilouse oficial confidentially places Sawyer’s vote at fifty. At Keyes’ headquarters it ia claimed that Snwyer’s vote on the first ballot will not exceed forty. DEFECTIONS ARE RUMORED in the Sawyer vote heretofore clalmed In Walworth and Waukesha Counties, In Mil- waukee, and in the northern part of the State. The developments of tho next twen- ty-four hours will be very tmportant, and may detinitly Indicate the result of the struggle. An exelted state of feeling *{s perceptible among the members of the Legislature, espec!- ally those of tho furming and industrial classes,ns to the consolitation of the great cor- porations of tho country, and apprehensions as to future operations of a siinilar colossal character are fully expressed. This fecling Is rapidly growing, and is affecting the canyass of Mr, Sawyer, who fs President of one ralt- road and a minor oflicer in another, and who, It is generally understood, is supported by the railroad monopolies, MASSACHUSETTS, Bpectal Dispatch to Tho Chicago Tribuite. Boston, Jan. 17.—The Democratic mem- bers of the Legislature have abandoned their iden of fusing with the Republicans opposed to Nenry L, Dawes, and helda caucus to-day, at which Gon, Butler was nominated bya vote of 25 aut of a total of 33, the vote after- wards belag mada unnnimous, though not without o warm discussion, ‘There was o good deal of opposition to Butler as a candidate, on tho ground that ho {s still a Ropublican, but tho caucus scomedt BATISFIED WITH 18 PRESENT POSITION aga Democrat, and thought he would capture # great many Repuplican votes, It was voted that the Democrats vote for Butler on the first days, as eighty or ninoty ant-Dawea mon would certainly hold out for that tlme, The hopels that, If they can get Butler,—and they seein to agree on this polnt,—a fusion may be made, and Henry Plerce, Goy, Long, or President Seelye, elther of whom would be acceptable, may succeed Dawes; but, notwithstanding this demonstration, tho friends of Dawes clain lis election om the first ballot, NEW YORK, : ALpany, N.
