PROGRESS OF THE SENATORIAL BATTLE LiscoLN, January 18, — Another diy «f suspense and excitement. The bal- lota taken to-day were both a surpri-e aud disappointment, Millard’a boom collapsed before it reached the di. mensions that were predicted by his sapporters, Tho failure is chiefl; ascribed to the fact that many mem- bers who had pledged him support backed down because they did not dare to go home with such records Thayer's increased vote created great commotion in the camp of rival candi- dates. The impression bacame geeral in the lobby that Thayer was the coming man. This impression was strengthened by general activity among Thayer'alobby, and at about 8 p m. the Mandcraon, Saunders and Cowin followors were panic s‘rack over the reoort that the Union Pacific and Burliniton & Mis souri had pooled on Thayer in coliu- slon with Rosewater, who was repre sentod as pledged to del:ver the anti monopoly vote to Thayer. Thiy canard caused lively commotion for a time * among the camp followers of the Omaha syndicate. I communicated iteelf to & conferance of the rapablicans, Gray, of Douglass, who had been chief support er of Millard, denounced Thayer as a Union Pacific pensioner, and general crimination and recrimination was in- duiged in between Millard men and Thayer men. Tho counfarenco ad- journed at ten p. m. withcut reaching any conclusion. The outlook for to morrow indicates another field day without much change except the trans- didates, the leading republican candidates will be defeated in turn, and .dark horses are being groomed for the last heat.
