The Fourth Senatorial Caucus was . . .

. . . held in Columbus, last evening, and after the 48th ballot adjourned sine die, it being evident that further efforts to make a nomination would be fruitless.  Delano on one ballot led Wade.  The highest ballot for the latter was 47, lacking two of the majority.  Mr. Eggleston proposes to elect by joint Convention, without caucus nomination.  But it is doubtful whether the Legislature will consent to that. – Cin.
