Bismarck , N , D. , Nov 23. rSpeclal Tola-
Rram to Tits Bbe ] This forenoons ' re
publican caucus for the second United
Slates senator was thu most exciting slnoo
the opening of the Bcsslon , mid nil kinds of
threats and prodlctions'itrd not * holng mnUo
On the flist ballot it 1s olaimod by these
keeping tally that Johnson rocolvod 13 votes ,
nnd as 41 is all that is needed to win the re
publican caucus nomination , thora were n
few moments that In the minds of the crowds
ho wns as good ns United Stntos senator
There was a dtfterenco in the counts of the
clerks nnd the roll was called for verifica
tion During the calling of tbo roll several
mombcrs changed tholr votes In fnvor
ot Johnson , but this wns objected
to on the ground that votes could
not bo chnnved during a . roll
call for verification , The chair ruled that
the point was well taken
A motion to adjourn was then mndo and
carried amid the wildest confuMon , and the
vote , which is claimed to have given John
son the republican caucus nomination , was
not announced The Johnson mon were In
a rngo , but thn loglslnturo proceeded to bal
lot formally In joint session Johnson hold
his 43 votes for two votes , whicH lacked five
'
of delecting him in the legislature , ns the
thirteen democrats votes were cast for the
democratic candidate , Nuyatta , The demo
crats now hold tbo balance ot power
They can elect Johnson or they can dictate
the man that is elected , provided
Johnson does not dovclop moro republican
Btiongth How long they will have this
power no ono can toll L. J. Casey of
Jamestown is looked upon ns a formidable
candidate , nnd his friends arc of the opinion
that unless Johnson is elected tonight ho
( Casey ) will bo the man
The ballot in the caucus was as follows :
Johnson , 42 ; Ordwav , 10 ; Casey , 10'Watsb ; ,
0 ; MeCumber 4 ; Lamoure , 4 ; Plummer , 1 ;
Marrutta ( dcm ) . 13.
The intimation was made tiftcr the ad
journment of the caucus that unless Johnson
wns given the nomination , now that he has
a majority of the republican members , they
would go to the democrats and elect a > demo
cratlc senator and create a little sensation ,
but it is not given serious consideration nt
this time
In the senatorial fight tonight M. N. John
son , Avho received 42 votes this afternoon , and
who came so near winning the republican
caucus nomination , was given a disastrous
drop , and there seems now to bo no hope of
his election On the first ballot bo rcuelvcd
40 voles , the others running as follows :
Ordway , 9 ; McCumber , 3 ; Casey 13 ; Waist ,
8 ; Maruttal3.
There was ho material change on the second
end ballot , but on the third be dropped to 32.
During this ballot Robinson of Traill created
a sensation lu uxolalning uis vote He said :
"Up to the present tlmo I have voted
faithfully for M. , N. Johnson , but it has
como to mo thraugii unquestionable authority
that one of Mr Johnson's lieutenants has
been circulating the report that noilher my
self nor tbo otbor members from my district
were voting for bun-through choicebut , bo-i
cause wo did not duro to do otherwise I
claim to bo an American citizen , with the
vight to do as I please , and I now take great
pleasure in voting for Prof Horner B.
Sprugue "
Thesoiomarks were greeted with apDlauso
Johnson lost ciiht votes on this ballot ,
the others receiving tbo following support :
Ordway , 5 ; McCumber , 8 ; Casey , 12 ; Walsh ,
3 ; Allen , 4 : Henry Lord 4 ; Prof , bpraeuo ,
V , and Marattu ( dem , ) , 13.
Altera little sparring the joint session
dissolved and will meet again at noon Mon
day.Since
Since the nomination of Prof Sprague
there hns been a crowing sentiment in his
favor , and ho is considered a promising can
didato Casey of Jamestown remains strong
nnd will have a good vote Monday At pres
ent there is no winning combination , but the
fact that Johnson has econ shelved is ac
knowledged oven by his supporters His
only hope is tbe inability of the other candi
dates to unite Tno thirteen democratic
votes remain solid , and will probably go into
tbo republican fight as soon as they can
make a point by so doing

The game of Rugby football , which has
bcon looked forward to for the past week
came off yesterday afternoon at the bnsoball
park , The contesting teams were the Young
Men's Christian association football club nnd
the Wanderers , tbo latter comprising most
of the team which played against the former
two weeks ago The result was a victory
for the Wanderers by a score of tour points
to nothing
The smallnpss of the score was owing
mostly to the rules not being very well un
derstood bv cither side The victors appar
ently had the best of the game from the
start , but were somehow prevented from
scorine oftener when the game seemed to bo
In their hands The "Vouug .Men's Christian
association ilnid to play a purely defense
game tbiourfhout and 6eemcd somewhat dis
heartened in consequence Thev played a
very plucky game for n losing team
The same tenms will compete again on
