date and ho immediately became a hot opponent of Crounse for the place Mr Millards name was prominently linked with that of Mr Dietrich as a running mate and from then on the caucus complexion seemed to Indicate the speedy nomination of the two The ten bolting Republicans had en tered the caucus before Thompsons withdrawal and It was then a com plete caucus of the majority party members Balloting was continued when Mr Meiklejohn contributed his mlto to the general upheaval by with drawing He announced no preference as to his successor in the fight but It was understood that Ills action was In

ballot Mr Thompson determined upon Ids withdrawal yesterday Tho Repub licans who have opposed him had some time ago offered to lot Jilm name both Bonutors if ho would stop out of the way Dietrich was his choice The Thompson men nlso were tho ones who voted for Millard Both Thompson and Roscwnter made addresses to tho caucus in withdraw ing their names The caucus adjourned nt 1030 and an hour and a
