LIHCOLK , January 22 After five
day > ot a desperate hand to hand con
flict , tbe boa's of giant monopolies
have suffered moat disastrous de
feat. The battle field is etrewn with
corpses of slain monopoly leaders ,
whom the tramp of Gabriel cannot
resurrect. The bottla-acarred army
of hireling honohmen , cappers ,
strikers , bummers , pool gamblers
and camp followers is in fall retreat
dismayed and panic stricken over the
crashing disaster that has befallen
them In tbe election of General
Oharle H. VanWyckto the United
States senatorship. The exciting in
cidents of this day have exhibited in
hold relief .he recklessness of cun
ning tricksters , the base treachery of
false friends , the cowardice of selfish
schemers , the dauiitliss courage
of devoted partlztnsand self possession
of veteran politicians. When the leg
islature adjourned on Friday afternoon
much doubt wta expressed whether
the Paddock forces would ever rally
again. Pnddock had failed to draw
recruits from the opposition after fif
teen ballots and his case
was regarded as hopeless.
A council of war was held by Pad
dock's campaign managers Phineas
Hitchcock , Tom Majors and John R.
Clarke , and- bold scheme waa oun-
cooted , upon which all waa to be
staked. A final appe&l waa made to
the stalwart 38 , to stand by Paddock
another day , and after rn exciting
and angry discussion , this point was
carried. "Tno field" wts also pre
paring for a fiual oniot. A field cau
cus , at which 46 members were prec-
eqt , and 13 were vouched for at con
curring , waa pledged individually and
/ collectively to stand firm against Pad
dock , and agracd to consolidate upon
one candidate In a canons that waa to
be held this afternoon after one more
V
ballot waa taken. On this ballot each
member was to stand by his first
choice. Just before the joint conven
tion was called to order at noon to
day , the wily Hitchcock approached
Mr. Broatch of Douglas , who had
been a staunch supporter of Judge
Dandy , and whispered to htm that
the judge had decided to withdraw in
favor of Paddock and desired all his
friends to cast their votes for the
Beatrice stateiman. Mr. Broatch
amazed and mortified crossed over to
Senator Dally , who was Dundy'v re
cognized leader , and asked him wheth
er Hitchcock represented the wishes
of Judge Dundy. Daily said that he
did. Broatch crossed b ok to com
municate with Bartlett , who com
pletely taken back by this revelation
went over to Dally and received the
same answer. Both Broatch and
Bartlett very naturally took it for
granted that all the Dundy men
were to act In concert with Dally.
When the sixteenth ballott was called
I was sitting at one of the reporters
tables on the stage. Mr. Paddock
was sitting at the sama table. When
the vote of the last member had been
announced he rose from his seat.
His face at that moment assumed an
expression of intense anxiety. He
had lost two votes and Dundy had
gained two on this ballot At this
juncture somebody standing on the
stage back of my chair said : Now
look oat for a change Paddock will
be elected on this ballot That man
h < b a lunatic or a fool I thought. When
ft o Senator Daily rose aud In a de
liberate tone of roice aaid : ' 'Mr.
President , I desire to change my rote
from Elmer S. Dundy to A. S. Pad
ill dock. " No sooner had he resumed his
e t , when BaitUtt of D inglas resend
nd requested that his vote be chang
ed from Dundyto Paddock.
A thundsr-olap in mid-winter would
hardly hare caused greater surprise.
"We are sold cot , " flashed across my
mind instantly. Four or five more
changes were announced rapidly in
succession , and a general stampede to
Paddock seemed imminent. The
scene at this crisis is indlscrlbxble.
Spectators in the crowded galleries
were craning their necks to catch the
roloe of the flopping members. Tbe
faces of Paddock's stalwarts oujthe
floor , and the monopoly audience in
the galleries were beaming with joy.
The supporters of the field were pale
with rare at the treachery of the flop
pert. Hitchcock had bounded over
thfralllng | which separates ] the pit from
the gallery , and in the most excited
manner urged members to jump Into
the Paddock boat. In the very midst
ol this crisis Mr. Holman , of Dakota ,
whose vote had been recorded for
Dandy , arose , and In a stentorian
voice requested that his vote be
changed from Dandy to Van Wyck.
Almost elmaltabeon&lv Church Howe ,
in a loud voles , assured the joint con
vention that this was "no Paddock
loom. " Another member followed
Hohnan'a example and changed from
1/undy to Vau Wyck , amldloud cheers ,
which Cams vainly sought to suppress
with his gavel. Perfect order and
quiet waa restored. Every member
remained In his seat. Hitchcock's
powder had flashed in the pan. Dai-
ley 8 treicherous flop had only raised
Paddock from 36 to 46. It failed to
elect Paddock and proved fatal to
Judge Dundy. Immediately after the
rote was announced a recesi was taken
till 4 p. m. When the news of Daily's
porfidioui performance reached Judge
Dandy he was overwhelmed with grle
and indignation , which completely
prostrated him. He repudiated Dai
ly's act as nn outrageon * betrayal o
himself and requested his friends to
vlndlcate his honor and redeem them
selves by joining In the "field caucus"
and standing by the nominee whoever
he might be. Vain were the desperate
efforts of Paddock , Hitchcock and tha
eiri'cora to hold the Dandy men that
had gone over-wlth Daily , and In vi.ln
did they seek to prevent other mem
bers from joining In thejanti-Paddock
caucus.
At 12:30 : p. m. sixty-one members
were assembled in caucus , including
the followers of Weaver , Van Wyck ,
Post , Mason and Dundy. Messrs.
Broatch and .Bartlett made full and
satisfactory explanation of their
conduct. Mr. Daily was orasive ,
and after insisting that the
caucus should not attempt to concen
trate on one candidate , left the room
and did not return. It was agreed
that two-thirds of the number present
should be necessary for a nomination.
This was done to protect candidates
who had a small following. Oi the
first ballot Van Wyck had 15 , Weaver
15 , Duudy 12 , Post 8 , Mason 7 , Laird
2. Convinced that they could not se
cure their first choice , owing to
Daily's disreputable cr-nduct , the
Dundy men went over to Van Wyck.
On tbe eleventh ballot , when the gen-
eral's vote had reached 35 , Judge
Post requested his n.ime withdrawn ,
and the twelfth ballot resulted in
Gen. Van Wyck's nomination , whica
waa made unanimous by request ot
Judge Weaver. A matinee perform
ance , which lasted until 4:30 : p. m.
prevented the reassembling of the
joint convention until nearly 5 p. m.
The opera house wai jam full of spec
tators to witness the closing act of the
great drama.
The roll was called , all mombera
present except Senator Doane of
Douglas.
The gentleman senator from Shang
hai as Myers has been dubbed , moved
that the joint convention ad
journ. Ayes and nays were'called
and the motion lost by 79 to 34.
Then Senator Gere attempted t ) fillll-
buster by a motion to adjourn to 7 p
m. which was alto voted down.
The seventeenth ballot waa called.
Before the roll call wss completed
General VanWyck'a election was hail
ed by prolonged cheers , which did
not subside until after tha chair re
quested silence to enable him to make
official declaration of the elpo
tlon. The vote as announced
gave Van Wyck 68 , Pcd-
lock 36. Ktnney 4 , Nance 4 ,
[ n response toj vociferous calla the
senator elect mounted the stage and
Jollrerod the folio wing address :
"MR. PEESIDE.ST AND IEIIBERS op
THE LEOISI.ATDRE OF NEBRASKA :
fou will believe me when I aay that
words can faintly express the feeling
of gratitude 1 experience for the great
loner you have done mo this day. It

ron for having placed me this day in

ernesa or hostility anywhero. Now
that the battle is over , though the
contest has been waged resolutely
and with determination , probably in
his great body and In the legislature
here Is no unkind or unpleasant feei
ng In any direction. We may con-
; ratnlate ourselves that this campaign
las been free from that. While a
ripple was produced this morning
over a little circumstance that
ranspired , it is duo to me , due to
; hls legislature , due to the common
wealth of Nebraska , duo 3 to the
indicia ! mantle which he has worn so
eng and honorably , through so many
fears , [ cries of good , good , good , and
a storm of applause. ] that in the cau
cus of the republican party this after
noon , there were explanations made
In regard to that matter to prove
that there was no tarnish upon the
name , fame or honor of Judge Dan
dy. [ Tremendous applause. ] It was
not to be expected that every candi
date could come out of this contest
victorious , but we have a right to say
that every candidate has come out
with his honor and Integrity un
sullied. Standing here to-day lookIng -
Ing into the future , I can fpromise
that all I have , all I am , and all I ever
expect to be , will be devoted to the
service of this state. [ Applause.J I
pledge to you an honest purpose , and
that is all T can give you in return
for the great honor you have this day
placed nron me. Although elected
by this great republican party of Ne
braska to-day , I become a represen

reference to party filiations. [ Ap

standard bearer I have become , I
will be true to my work , and I will
best discharge my duty to that part ;
when I have discharged my doty to
my state and my country. " [ Long

This letter already exceeds my allot

themselves with glory , the men whb
have stood the brant of the fight , and
those who betrayed and sold out their
constituencies , for another day.

lave been engaged upon aluco Thus-
dy , but without result so f jr. They

LOUISVILLE , Ky. , Jan. 22 4 p. m.
A special to The CorainPicial from
Shelbyville , nays : Thursd-y about 4
o'clock , n fatal shooting Rtfiay took
place In Clay village , six miles east
from hore. Th" Dirties were
Bryiu Harris and Robert Huss.
An old trudge has existed between
them for some time , and during
Shriatmas week Harris gave a pwty at
ila mother's. Haas was there , and
during the evening they had some
trouble which would have resulted in
a shooting affray had not parties inter
bred. About two weeks ago Harris
was going home at night , when some
one filled his back fall of
jlrd shot. He thought and expressed
ilmself that HUBS was the guilty party
; o this most cowardly deed , but said
nothin ? to him about it. So matters
stood this way until yesterday , when
HUBS came to town , loaded up pretty ;
'reely with whisky and took a bottle
lome in his pocket , remarking ,
; hat no whisky could be bought
n Clay Village as it is a
, ocal option town. Being thu ? armed
ie proceeded with a pistol to the store ;
of Harris and in his abusive manner :
began firing , only a few feet from
Harris. The latter reached under
Ills counter for his rfiot gnn and dis :
charged both barrels loaded with
buck shot in his face , kill Inn him 'n' '
stantly. Six shots entered his fore-
bead , the balance going below bis
eyes tearing bin face terribly. [
Harris was unhurt. After
the shooting he loaded his gun with
about ai much coolness and delibera
tion a * if he had been bird hunting.
He sent for an officer to give himself
up , and at the same time warning
every one not to come in his house ,
that he did not propose to bo mobbed.
Both were young men , about twenty-
eight years old. Huss leaves a wife
and two children-and was considered
a dangerous man.

The Surrendered Indiana
Spodal Dispatch to The Bee.
CHICAGO , January 22 4 p. m.
The following important dispatch has
been received a General Sheridan's
headquarters , from Major Ilges :
CAMP ON POPLAB EIVEE , M. T. ,
January 19. I returned from Wolf
Point this afternoon , whither I had
gone , accompanied by First Lieuten
ant Woodruff , Fifth Infantry , and two
men as a guard , to meet the hoatiles
under Crow King , reported to be
fifty-one lodges strong , In a very Buf
fering and destitute condition. I
met Allison between Wolf Point and
this camp and directed him to return
to the Indians and not to leave them
again until he baa passed beyond
Popular river on his way to Fort
Boford with them. The camp Is at
present time fifteen miles below Wolf
Point marching slowly down and con
sists of over 300 sonh , eighty of whom
are well grown warriors , 200 horses
and about fifty or sixty guns. It in
cludes the OhlefsGoodBear.OrowKing ,
Big Shirt , Long Dog and Black Eagle.
The latter la one of the hostages sent
down by Gen. Miles In 1876 to the '
Cheyenne agency. From thence he
subsequently escaped. These people
will surrender to Major Brotherton
at Bnford upon arrival , and I will not
come ic contact with them except to
keep them from starving and freezing
to death. This surrender Is a very
Important one , and I am endeavoring
to keep the bind intact. Alli
son will do it , and to Major
Brotherton and the former
much credit Is duo for having accom
plished this much. Although Alllion
has failed in the main enterprise , the
capture of Sitting Bull , the latter is
now crippled beyond a possibility of
doing more harm and he will have to
seek an asylum at an early day. It ia
now ascertained that Sitting Bull has
acted in bad faith all through
the negotiations , and that
he was principally influenced
by a lingering hope of the promised
powerfnl help of Major Walsh , of the
mounted police. Had Allison received
your instructions to us in time , I be
lieve I could have bspged the whole
camp. On the morning of the llth
inst. , when Sitting Bnll ssut prcnp- .

The man Thompson's influence has
