FATAL RAILWAY DISASTERS. 4 QUESTION OF MAJORITY. “By How Much Will Sherman Defest Foraker?” Is Asked. Corumses, Onto, Jan. 6.—The last day of the senatorial contest brings with it no change in the situation. The only question now agitating the public mind is “What will be Shermai majority in the senatorial caucus?” Mis friends claim that he will receive 56 votes and Foraker but 36, but the friends of the ex-governor scout the asser- tion that their candidate will be beaten by 20 votes, and many maintain that he still hasa chance to win. The ex-governor himself declines to talk for publication today, but still maintains an ap- rance of cheerfulness. It is evident that has philosophically accepted his inevitable defeat, but is determined to go down with the strongest possible following behind him in order that he may reap all possible prestige from his — gptmar ma se. eos tesman. is who have be that he would win abandoned today, but insist that Foraker's fight places him sec- ond in the ranks of Ohio's great republican leaders and insures hima seat in the Senate when the next vacancy occurs. SECRET OB OPEN BALLOT? ‘The chief interest today seems to center in the question of whether tonight's senatorial ballot is to be open or secret. Generally speak- ing, the Sherman people are fighting for ano) ballot and the Foraker ‘people for a secret bal- lot, although there are a few Foraker men who ‘exprets a preference for an open ballot, while two or three Sherman men ar¢ said to favor a secret ballot. It looks at this hour very much as though the movement for an open ballot would prevail. Both sides are circulating papers among the assemblymen for an expression of sentiment, and the Sherman managers insist that they already have enongh members pledged for an open ballot. ‘The question is one entirely to be settled by the majority of the joint caucus after that body convenes. THE LABOR MEN. It is quite likely the state tradesan labor Aseembly now in session here will take action on the senatorial question. The committee on resolutions last night and this morning dis- cussed at length the senatorial question. Several sets of resolutions adopted by local assem- blies in different parts of the state denouncing Senator the committee for action. There was a division of sentiment as to whether the state assembly should take any action at this late day on the senat contest, but the committee finally agreed to report ‘the resolution back to the assembly without recommendation. The question will come before the assembly today, but the com- mittee’s recommendations willlikely prevail. SENATOR SHERMAN’S COT, CONFIDENCE. Senator Sherman bas surprised even his enemies by the cool confidence with which he has conducted his canvass. In-the midst of all the bnstle and excjtement he has found time to make many social calls on his old friends at Columbus. Probably the longest visit was made at the Thurman mansion. Judge Thur- man and Senator Sherman served together for eight years in the Senate; and during the last four years of Thurman's term Senator Sher- man Was Secretary of the Treasury. Judge Thurman was greatly pleased with the opportunity of reviving their old associations in Washington, and the two statesmen reviewed many reminiscences of important politieal con- troversies and other occasions when they were the respective leaders of the two opposing aides of the . ‘TRE CONTEST ENDS TONIGHT. The contest will end tonight. The republican caucus will be held in the hail of the house at So'clock. The headquarters of both Foraker and Sherman have been practically deserted by all except their managers and’ particular friends for several days—a fact which indicates the failing interest since it became generally conceded that Sherman would be nominated beyond a doubt. ‘Aleading Sherman man said today that it was anticipated on the Sherman side that de- yelopments of today would induce Gov. Foraker to announce his withdrawal. CLAIMED YOR SHERMAN. Those who will vote for Sherman are: Abbott, Bain, F. G. Carpenter, J. Carpenter, Eckley, Green, Hildebrand, Lampson, Nichols, Obl, Phillipe, Snyder, Rawlings, Spencer and ‘The representatives who will vote for him are: .

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The committee is to have authority to send for personsand papers and is directed to consider and report what the interests of the United States may require in the matter of iuter- oceanic communication. The resolution was laid on the table, Mr. Morgan stating that he would call it up tomor- row. ‘The Senate bill introduced by Mr. Stewart to rovide for the free coinage of gold and silver ion was taken up and Mr. Morrill proceeded to address the Senate. SENATOR MORRILL ON SILVER. Mr. Morrill spoke in criticism of the speech, heretofore made by Mr. Stewart, and in oppo- tion to the bill for the free and unlimited coin- age of silver. He feared that his remarks might be as much of a drug as silver itself, but he could not afford to shirk the question. financial intrumentalities and monetary affairs of the country were of such transcendent fmportance, touching, not, only the pocket of every citizen, bat the honor goneral weliaro of the whole people, that ic must be conceded they deserved to be dis- cumsod as questions of national gravity and not merely as partisan or n topics of loci pope: Sve interest. At bis time of life he could have no other impulse than a desire tobe right and to speak the truth as had loarned it, but this might com- pel him in’ plai words to criti- cise mischievous theories and to present such facts and ar ts we ap} to be conclusive in support of the public credit and that sound stanuard of movey which would abide forever and in harmony with @#he money of the most enlightened Christian nations. IN FAVOR OF BOTH SKTALS. ‘He was now and ever had been in favor of maintaining of both gold and silver in circulu- tion, and silver to the extremest boundary that could maintain it on a parity with gold. It would be a real joy for him to have silver greatly increase in actual value. He not voted for the silver act of 1890 for the reason thst silver bullion was neither tobe paid outin accordance with the sater proposal of Secretary Windom. and that the Silver to be purchased was fixed, as it « to him, ata too magnificent umount: thata full price would be paid for a modity which the government could neither sell nor part from, to any considerabie ex- | out @ financial revolution and serious | ‘was not unwilling to strain a point in order to satisfy bis silver friends, but they | appeared to demand too much, and some seemed unlikely to be long restrained from demanding more or the whole earth. For the first time in his life he godges the question and did not vote aguins: the bill, not only because his vote would not have the result or secured anything better, but cause bis distinguished friend, the senior Senator from Nevada (Mr. Jones). begged him not to, and all Senators know how irresistible the Senator from Nevada could be when he chose. He hoped now that Mr. Jones would be ready to reciprocate if the occesion arose and not vote for free coinuge. SILVER CERTIFICATES REPLACING BANE NOTES. Mr. Morrill went on to say that national bank notes wore rapidly being made to step down and out togive room to silver paper. Like Naboth, they had a vineyard which Abab wanted, aud therefore were utoned and killed. The original United States notes were likely to be the next sacrifice demanded and at in order t6 give tho whole field tosilver paper. No ex] tw had been untried and no cost withheld to push or carry silver dollars into circulation, but it had been demonstrated that po more than about $60,000,000 of over 400,- 000,000 coined could be couxed or kicked out- aide the treasury. Even had it boen possible tospply hydrostatic pressure uo greater sum forced into the congested channels of circulation or into the reiuctant pockets of the people. The weight was objected to as too heavy and the value too light. ‘There wasin the treasury today in silver dollars and silver bullion over 12,000 tons, which even burglars almost ceased to covet, and only express companies appreciated when they it ‘NATIONAL its” value re across the continent, but the government was required to hold'and guard it night and day, together with all forthcoming monthly additions. When and where was this silver del to en@? In ten years more, under pees statutes, the government might havi locked up in its subterranean vaults sil to the aggregate amount of, perhaps, more than $1,000,000,000, for all of which its obliga- tions, payable in com, would be outstanding.
