PltPPOIM/1 AAT Tlir1 flfPltl T GUESSING ON THE RtSULl , Ohio's Senatorial Contest Still in Doubt Claims of the Loading Candidates , PROMISES THAT ARE CAUSING TROUBLE. BIoinl > ers of the ( .ngliilaturo who Tulle too niurh Homo Figures Hint will I'roh- nblyHlioiTH hlflVrnnt rootlnglii n Short Time The SHnut Ion' , Commas , O. , Jan. 3 , The Sabbath day lias been rovorcntly rasuectod by the sena torial candidates , and a temporary nrmlstlc lias boon declared In the great political battle which has wasted so bitterly. IJoth Senator Bhorman nnd cxGovornor Foraker have remained on tbo ground , but tbo duv lias bcon ono of Inactivity so far as tholr Itctiten- nuts nro concerned. This sudden Inaction , the Foraker men say. Is but the calm which precedes the storm , the lull whloh precedes the battlo. Tbo Sherman men say it Is the rigor raortus of nn Inspiring cause , the dead cllcnco which precedes the last cunvul- wlvo gasp of u dying nmbltlon. To the Vrlonds of the distmguUhod .senator , tbo battle Is fought nud won ; to the adherents of the eloxuont For.ikur , the poli tician atmosphere Is ladou with hopeful ngony , and the woof of tbu future Is still to lo woven Into s'.rango results. Thus , tbo situation tonight Is ono of oomolacout ox- fiootancy on tha ano hand ; of eternal hope on the other. Interest In tlio Contest. The American public , whoso Interest In ibis contest Is probably without parallel in the great senatorial battles of years gone by , quite naturally asks : " \Vby Is tbo rc.sult longer In doubt ? Why , with every member ot tbo general assembly on the Held , or nvallablo , cannot thn posltlvo declarations of the mon who are to tlocido tbu question taK6 tbo place of the blatant nrophuoy of political managers , und tell how this battle is goingl" Tbe answer to this question | s , that of the yonublican assomblymcn no less than eight Imvo refrained from a public declaration of preference , and of these , three-quarter : ) have unquestionably given pleuges to both aides nnd are now at home seeking oetiltotis or 'public sentiment" to break the pledges which they find mast irksome , and respect : the ono which meow their personal desires. 1'ho diplomatic battle which has bcon waeoa BO unremittingly for mon tha past has resulted In many entangling : alliances. Men , in order to win the favor of the factions into which 'tho party divided bo Corn thn elections , found it expedient to pronounce pledges of fealty to the partisans of both candidates , and these promises are now most embarrassing. They hn/o postponed the ovll day to tbo utmost limit , but tbo hour of do'.lvery Is nt hand. In the vain attempts still to wear the shifting masks of Dr. Joyklo and Mr. Hyde , they are now suggesting that the senatorial question should bu decided by n secret ballot In the coming caucus. Should ythls plan bo carried out , they hope to escape the volumes of opprobrium which otherwise will certainly bu boipoil upon them from thu .faction they disappoint. ' Assertions of Par.iknr'4 Vrlumlfi. While the impression is certalnlv general nmoug Impartial Ioocors-on ! ut Columbus that the sponkorsbip contest was fought upon senatorial lines , nnd that its result must bu neccpted as indicating Senator Sherman's Denomination , the frtouds of oxGovcrnor Forakor still maintain that several For akor men voted for L.aylln and that these , together witn tlu < votes which For.ikor will got in the senate , will be sufllcient to ijivo him the nomination. When asketl for Tiamos and figures , however , tbo nnswors are by'no means satisfactory. In substantiation of their claims they say that two men , Kep- jreaontntwes Dick anil Welsh , voted for Lay- pin who are absolutely aud Irrevocably on- iposod to Sherman. Dicks they do not ox- ' ( pp'ct to got In nny event , but say bo will stick to Foster to tno last. Welsh they regard os a bare possibility. They also say that Jour of Forakor's wurmests'upportors , whoso names they fail to give , voted for Laylln 'under plodeos madu to him long before the nonatorlal and speaKcrship light fell into tbo ' Hatno groove. Further , thuv claim that not n 'single Shorinnn man voted for MnGrew : that Jill of them who Imve madu pledges to Mf- Crow asked to bo rvlievoil , and were relieved Jrom them In ad vim 1:0 of tlio caucus. Anto-IUectlnu Assuming these allocations to bo facts , ( Sherman's strength in the house is but six votes less than tha vote for Lnylin , or thirty-two. Sherman's fatrengtb In the sunato may bo sot down us thirteen , If Idon. u con testant , Is not admitted and fourteen if tie is. 3ornUer's managers , however , claim that the ex-governor will huvu not loss than eight votes in the senate. Conceding Sherman fourteen , however , in the senate , and admit ting' the Foraker claims in the house , { Sherman's vote would stand in the house , thirty-two ; In the sonnto , fourteen ; total , tforty-slx. This wonhl louvo Senator Sherman one "short of a nomination , Forakor three abort nnd Dicks , and Welsh holding the .Imlancoof power , but unable to do more than create u tlo between Sborman and Foraker Should tboy vote for tbii latter. According to tether Forakor claims , the ux-govornur will Jiavo thirty-eight in the house nnd r.ovou in the senate , total of forty- til ve. Foster will have one and McKinley /ono. It will ho thus soon tlr.it /the admission of Idcn tn tbo caucus niiirht fliavo an Important cffoct on tbo result. Dut < ho Forakur people's claim of nt least eiaht * On tbo senate , If verified , alone with tholr claim of tblrty-oignt in the house , would re- verao things and give Forakur forty-six nnd Sborman forty-five. Then If Idon bo admit ted Sherman's vota would fall to forty-four. 'Welsh ' voting for fc'oraker , or ono of Sbur- man's mon going to him , would give him the required forty-seven. Laiighuiliit by the Shcrnr.iu MUII , The above are the views nt the Forakor lioadqiiartors , but their claims are derided by , the Sherman people und treated as tnlrtii ( provoking protousions. The senator's friends nro loudly cluimiuir tonlant that ho will have n majority of not lass than fourteen votes tn ? lho caucus , nnd profess a willingness to have 'cither an open or secret ballot , ns Forakor may tlczlro. They say that the loud claims of the Fornuer manager * nro imulo with the hope of Keeping bis fol lowers loyal to him , in order that he may go down In ilin caucus with nt least n respectable following. They state tb.it . a plod go bus boon drawn that is ironclad tn its imturo and that thee ilnvotoil to the cause of the ox-govornor uru liointr nskod to sign It. .By Ita terms the supporters of theex-govoni- -oragrco to ramaln tmu to his candtduuy until lie wins or lose * , nnil Unit none of them will weaken or waver In tlio slightest degree. The Forakor mummers deny .thai such n .document . la In exluonetv or that It U do- miandud to insunv the continued loyalty of itho covornor's supnortors.

The French government is too late in try- inir to moot the drolbund lollvnroln by com mercial alliances with various European states.

For tbo solid vote o't the centrists in thn Ilelchstag , which enabled tbo government to pass tbo commercial treaties , that 'party is about to obtain the long desired concession gran'ing the clergy greater control of the Instruction in primary bchools. Count von Zedlitz , minister of public worship , will submit to tlio Landtag a project conferring power on the clergy to examine candidates for teacbcrsblp on religious questions. The Catholics regard the concession ns ono that will unable the clergy to control the schools through the teachers.

A ease somewhat similar In Us aspects to the I'aso of tbo archbishop ot .Alx has arisen between the government and the bUnop of Carcassonne.
