free silver Tor DemOcratiC Votes.
COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 24.-The marshall
ing of forces in the Ohio senatorial
contest has begun. Charles Kurtz, Of
Columbus, has dropped all pretense OF
not seeking to defeat Senator Hanna,
and has for some time been organizing
his forces, The State Journal prints
story that the republicans, led by
Kurtz, in opposition to the reelection
of Senator Hanna, have promised to
support free silver as the price of the
defeat of Senator Hanna. The story,
the Journal states comes from man
who claims that Mr.. Hanna will be
defeated. The Journal says:
Conferences are being held in various parts
OF the state by democrats who have gathered
at the direction Of Mclean and the free silver
leaders to plan for bringing pressure to bear
upon democratic members OF the Legislature to
vote for Gov Bushnell, and the argument
which is used in these conferences to convince
the doubling and bring conviction to the hesl-
tating is thas Bushnell has surrendered to the
Bryanite idea OF finance and will act with the
free silver men in the United States senate II
elected.

quently losing . good deal of business,
causing corresponding loss In revenue.
Though heartily In favor Of improve.
merts for the public good, and ready to CO.
operate in every proper way TO this end, we
claim that our assent should bave been
given to tho change of grade OK tho turn.
pike before tho work was begun.
AS you propose to lower tho present.
grade OF tho turnpike several feet at the
baltimore and Ohio Railroad, we are OF
the opinion that you should, without ex.
ponse to US, reduce tho grade near the
Columbus Inn five or six feet and fill nm
the hollow near the railroad, stoning and
surfacing the rond. This would make u
regi,thr ascent from the proposed now
under grade. crossing to the Columbus
