It Is almost certain that the sonato com mittee cn privileges and elections, which Is to report on the contest caso of Johnson ngalnst Hodges next Monday, will find In favor of reatlng the contestant, Mr. John son, and Hint It will so recommend In Its report to tho senate. The case U one which Involved Illegal valtiift In Kearney county, find It Is asserted the evidence of enough Illegal votcsi being cast for Mr. Hodges was furulHhed tho committee to convince Its members that Mr. Johnson, the republican nominee, should havo received tho certifi cate of election which is hold by Hodges., Tho final arguments In tho contest proceed ings wero mndo before the committee Inst night, but It has reserved Its decision until Monday. It may bo that when the com mittee meets Monday It will bo decided to havo tho ballots produced and a recount made, but this course Is not likely to be pursued, as thcro seems to bo sufficient evidence without this to convince the com mittee that Mr. Johnson Is rightfully en titled to tho seat. While tho members ol tho commlttco refuse to state what tho naturo of the report will be, the fact that Juit before Mr Jotinson left for homo to day ho was told by one of the leading mem ber of tho. commlttco that while ho was not at liberty to tell him what the deliber ations of tho commlttco would result In, It might In a good Idea for the contestant to show up In Lincoln next Monday evening, which was taken to mean tjiut the report noiilil most likely bo favor nblo to Mr. Johnson nnd ngalnst Mr. Hodges, who on tho face of the returns had n majority of two votes. Since Mr. Johnson lives quite n distance from Lincoln It Is not thought likely that a member of tho commlttco would havo advised him to return to Lincoln next Monday evening unless tho report was favornblo to him.
