The present L-gialatnro is made up. for the most part , cf men who do their own think ing and voting. They have comedown down here with the full understanding that they will be held responsible for tholr acconnto nnd do not seem dis posed to yield to outside pressure or dictation. These who have never been subjected to the ordeal can hardly -comprehend what it means for a man to stand fearlessly by his honest conviction , from early dawn until long after nJdnlght. Almost every member of the legislature is HOUNDED BT TUAINE1) TKMPTEUS who make seductive appeals to his ambition for place and power , and as sail bin honesty by holding out in ducements of pecuniary reward. Where they fail to play upon avarice or ambition , they appeal to partisan prejudice The crafty corporation managers , though their editors and retainers nro joalonsly swinging the party whip over the heads ot republicans , and tolling them that they must abide by the choice of n republican caucus , when they well know that a caucuj , through their instrumentality will give them what they could not. got by the individual choice of mumbern. IN TIIK FIRST PLACE there is no law for buying a man's vote In n caucus either with promises of ollhe , lucrative employment ot money ; in the next place men who enter the caucus do not feel the same responsibility and restraint because at boat their action dote not go upon the record , and if perouaaco the majority dosreea that they must nnppoit a man for sermtor whom they would.not dare to vote tor If loft - ij holt own choice , they go out of thu caucus with the excuse "Why , wo had to do it because we were pledged to stand by the CAUCUS nominee. " The railroad organ in thin city makes a frantic appeal to the sovoatj republicans to rally round one man , no matter who ho may bo , nnd clecl him. As republicans they are in duty bound to abide by the ruling of kin caucus. TDK MONOl'OTACKOANIST swings the red rag in front of the republican publican bull by assorting th t thi democracy nnd an ti-monopolists arc all consolidated. This Is In the fact of the fjct that neither thi democrats nor the antl-monopollsti have as yet been able tc agree among themBolvcs upor ono matx ; and even if they were con solidated could not elect without the oupport of republicans. There cor' talnly does not appear to bo the remotest motest show of electing a democrat bnt it is inevitable with the proaaurc that la being brought that a republics caucus wiil cheese a monopolist. I it is not foe Millard it will be semi man who can command theajpport o the railroads while ho is matqaerad ing as an anti-monopolist. TUB IMIUEK FODKTHH HOLE by which the scheming railroad attor noyo are trying to inveigle the anti monopoly republicans Into a canon will be no birrlor. Whenever any can dldato commands thirty.fivo votes il a caucus thoaa who support the mine candidates will go over In a body , am before they realize it will bo bound t support a man whom they never wonli have voted for had they been left t their personal choice. It will be a very easy matter t < pool the railroad vote in a caucui on ono man , bat it wouli bo no easy matter to elect such a mai in the open field. Quito a number o republicans elected on antl-monopol pledgee have all along professed tha they propose to vindicate the republican can party by casting their votes enl for a man who is sound on the rallvra issue , but moat of these men IIAVK VALLK.V INTO T1IE THAI * laid for thorn by sham anti-monopc Hats , and are now voting for cand dates who are not ono whit sounder o the main issue than Joe Ml lard. Had these me i com to the front at the beginning an cait their votes for nn avowed 01 and ont antl-monopoliit of republics antecedents like General Oonnoi Captain Stickle or oven Orounae , the would command rcspjct , and ml'.jli by this time have forcsd an election i It is not too lite yet , however , unlei thesa men abandon their individn ; choiceby tying themselves down , to > caucus candidate whoever that migl boThu Thu ultuation summed up b simp ! this ; The five leading republican ! Millard , Thayar , Siundora , Ojwi and Mandoraon mustered tit membei la8tSaturdayrangingfrom8 to 10 voti 1 for each. They all feel hopeful yet i carrying off the prlza. The leadlr oafs we willing to stake their fortum tn a caucus , but thb , flay not bo able to Induce all tholr followers to pledge support to the canons nominee. GOD- demon , who only had eight votes Sat urday , and the candidates who com mand ono or two votes , are not dis posed to take such risks , hence the prospects of a caucus are not promis ing. THE DEMOCRATS , after a good deal of wrangling , have agreed to go into couforoccn and will probably cut n tolid vote for ono candidate oa the next ballot. Their choice will either bo Senator Charles H. Browner or Jainea E. Boyd. A majority of the anti-monopolists will probably cist their votes for Capt. Stioklo to morrow. It in polf-ovldout thcra can banoolocliou before Tuesday or Wed- nedflay ; possibly tot before Friday or Saturday. E U. FIFTH JOINr BALLOT. TCO'.I ! Disputed to Tux HKK. LINUOLX , January 20.

It is a rotuarkablo fact that the wounded are almost with out exception but slightly injured. The folloning passengers are un- intt : Porter Ashe and wife , fl. A. 3 liver , Miss E. Squlora and T. J.

The dead and wounded are to bo taken to Los An- gales. Meantime every possible at tention 'is paid them on the ground. A wrecking train has arrived from Snrnnor. Further advices from Tehacapl give as the probable cause of the accident that when the train stopped the air brakes wore applied , On detaching the engine the brakes relaxed and the hand brakes were either left open 01 wore not strong enough to hold the train. The movement may have baen helped by a strong gale blowing. II is now certain that eighteen paaaongort and two sleeping oar porters were killed and ton or twelve badly injured , Seventeen bodies have boon removed from the wreck.
