ties. and 1t makes the legislature on
JOINT ballot stand 73 Republicans to 72
Democrats, and claims there is no
doubt about this result.
In the event Of the Republicans con-
trolling the legislature II is conceded
that Senator Hanna win be returned to
the Senate. In the event OF the Demo-
Gratis controlling the Legislature, il is
almost certain that John X. Mclean

respective headquarters In this city.
IL seems TO be conceded that what
ever may be the fnnl outcome on
Joint ballot for senator. that the Demo-
Gratis VIII have u majority of state
senators. and the Republicans n ma
Jority of the representatives. This will
prevent the passage of bills to reorgan-
lie boards In the municipal govern
ments. As there will be continued
contest of one branch of the legisla-
ture against the other branch, no par
tisan bills can be passed.
