Gorman. lhe ballot upon which he was elected, the first of the day, ’be eighth since the eoi test began, resulted in bis gettii g 63 vot* s to 4 for Alexander Sha>w, of Laltimore, the only other republican who remained in the race. Senator Gorman got 47 votes, the full democratic strength in both houses. The break to McComas came as the result cf the night’s caucus, at which fifty thee members were in the attendance, and at which Judge McCommas was practically unanimously Dominated. Ten republican delegates from Baltimore city and Senator Wes cott, of Kent county, however refused to take any part in the caucus or to consider themse'ves bound by it, and up to the hour of noon, when the ballot was re sumed, no one not in their coun sels knew' how they meant to vote, but it was centrally thought they would stick to Shaw to the end, thereby creating a deadlock . It was therefore with the most intense interest that the balloting was watched, and weer. the name of Senator Wescott was reached and he, after a brief speech, changed his vote from Shaw to McCommas, everyone knew the end was near and the cheering was tremendous, Speaker Shaefer was th- next of the recaltricants to come into line. Then one by ore five of his associates in the “bolt” against the rule of the majority followed his example Ex-Congressman Findlay’s only remaining support er did likewise, and the votes stood 62 for McCommas to 4 for Shaw. Then delegate Jacobi changed his vote, but four ethers, Messrs Quast, Baldwin, Short and Dela cour, all of Baltimore city, stuck to the Baltimore city candidate to the last, and w-nt down with flying colon.

McMinn 37 Turley 27 Taylor 21, The Turley and Taylor men voted to adjourn. The night)? attempt to create a stampede to Taylor was made by representative Thompson, who some months ago married Colonel Nellie Ely. He has been voting for McMillin but tonight attempted to break the dead lock by leaving ihe lead ing for th’ hindmost candidate. The democratic members Monday night decided that they wonid be present and not voting yesterday except three members of each branch, who were to vote for the three democratic candidates. It was feared, however, that as this plan would result in Sanford re ceiving a majority of the votes cast in each branch, a contest might follow, so a new plan was suggested and carried out. The democratic members of the house as their name were called voted for the dem icratic members proceeding in the roll call, except those who placed the three demo cratic candidates in nomination who of course, voted their nomi neess. Ihe democratic senators, how ever. were too virtuous to vote for J -v v Zvl some prominent man in his sena torial district. The result was that E. J.
