THE SENATORIAL CONTEST
EdltorUl Oontttpoudence ot Tin Bit.
LINCOLN , January 12. Every hour
that brines us nearer to the decisive
struggle in the senatorial contest In-
tensiuas the excitement. Fieihtqnada
ot political spoilsmen are oomiug in
by every train. Leading federal office
holders , Indian trudets and sailors ,
whoso tenure depends largely on the
outcome , are on the ground. The
Salt Greek hospital brigade la on
hand with lint and bandages for the
wounded and stretchers to carry oil
the dead. The stakeholders arc bust
ling around with an air that betokens
confidence in the final success of their
men.
I'OOl.S HAVE BBKN OPENKD
to steady the neres of the timid and
bolster c-miidatoa who expect to bull
the senatorial market. Ac the Com-
marcial the commotion of jostling
ling , scheming , humanity has bo-
corno decidedly uncomfortable. The
counting room is packed with steaming -
ing , amokin < uien , like a box of sar
dines. At 7 o'clcck last night the
smoke was BO dense you could cnt it
with a knife. The corridors fairly
swarmed with stool pigeons , anot-
tcra , and political monte uharpa. The
situation at this hour is an enigma to
theoldcat , and tnojt tietuto politic * !
' wlsird. Nearly everybody believeu
the coming man trill bo a dark horse ,
but , with the exception of Joe Millard -
lard , who is pitted against the field ,
every candidate is hopeful aod confi
dent that hia chances are
excellent. And so they are
in my opinion. Nobody except
the le&uig ciudldattj has bs ye
any reason to net despondent. Th <
man with two or three staunch snppor
ters is jnstjaa liable to atop Into Alvii
Siundura shoes , aa the man who start ;
out with fifteen or twenty. It la now
a foregone conclusion that thu contea

YOUOIIT OUT IH THK CPEN VIF.LD.
Nobody except Joe Millard can af
ford to risk his chances in a republic * !
caucua , and the foir that the leadiir
railroad candidate can control the ciu
cas compels republicans who hav
come hero pledged against monopol
to keep array from the caucus. Out c
the caucus Millard is still formidable
but ho can never corr.il votea cnonRl
to elect him. Mlllard'a followers an
given to bcssting. They claim ever ;
booy and everything. They ovoi
claim to have converted nineteen do in
ocrato and two anti monopa , by Jc
eeph'a winning ways and moans. I ai :
satisfied that several democrats hav
conio here to bo persuaded b
Uncle Sam's currency or "tin equiva
lent , " but I do not believe that mor
, ' thin four or five would ever go on rec
ord with a stigma on , their namea. I
fact I don't believe any democrat o
antl-moaop will over cist his vote fa
MilUrd unless he can muster from 5
to 00 republican votea. tdont
whether half as many republicans
f vor record their voice for Hillurd bt
cause those who are disposed to tak
him M second or third choice wl
never do so unless they are saro I
duct him ,
UPOJf CAREFUL SCKVKY
ot the fieid I find Millard nuy , if h
chooses , awing 21 or 22 republics
votes on the fir at billet and from 1
to 18 more whenever they could com
to him with safety Forty rrpabllcai
comprise hit outside strength. Tin
would give him control in a reput
llcHii caucus , but even the most hop
fnl Millard man does not hope that 1
can over secure the 27 democrats at
anti-inouorn ho would need for t
election. From a reliable source
learn that Millard'a tactien will ba
start with a Very low number , perha ;
not over 15 votes , and to gain <
every ballot while the other repu
lican candidates would loaosoine vet
on each ballot.
When MilUrd has reached hs | fi

work of exhuming the bodies con
tinued from an early hour to-day. A
cold , cutting northeasterly wind prevails -
vails , keeping back the crowd and
giving the workmen n ohnnoo for un
hindered labor. About 120 nion car
ried on thu work without system , and
very llttlo wes accomplished. Short
ly after 10 o'clock the > charred remtlna
of n human body VM found at the
south nnd of the Droadwny
front of the hotel , the nrst
nnd only body found up till
noon. The body was charred beyond
recognition. News of the body bulna
taken to the morgue spread liku wild
fire , and thouianda of people are now
on the scone. Much Indignation Is
manifested at thu buuqline work car-
mod nn and at Hie insufficient force.
The action of the council caused nuoh
general indignation and throutening
that another meeting is called fur this
afternoon to employ larger foice nnd
gnt the olectrio appliances for wutk nt
nltiht. Five bodied ivvro burind thia
morning. Thu attendance of people
at the impressive funeral service was
very largo. Shortly after noon two

tity worn found , and part of a human
trunk was found. It is now sottlrd
beyond pond /unturu that the loss of

yond recognition , although the skull
remained intact , showing n act of
well-preserved tooth. An the work
man began to raise the body the head
fell off and the brainn oozed out , tlio
odors that were sent forth being sutll-
oiont to drive them from the noeno.
Others came forward , and the body
maisfrora which the b-inoi protruded. "
It was taken to the merge
where it occupied a placa in the corner -
ner , "till smouldering , filling the
room with a stench that is unendur-
ublu. Aa men work into nnd open up

there ii acarcoly room to doubt that
by to-morrow night a scene will bn

hi art will qonil iu horror. A human
foot haa also boon found , partially
burned , with no traces of the body to
which it bolonga anywhere near it.
