some extent There was slight rally before the

COLUMBUS Dec 30.-This has been q
day OF conferences with the anti Hanna
Republicans. ana from the best informa-
ton obtainable the results have not been
altogether encouraging. although the
claims OF the faction have not been modi-
fed In the least. These conferences have
been with the leaders OF the Democracy
who are in favor of a fusion with the
anti-Hauna Republicans 10 defeat Mr..
Hanna The central figures have been
Charles l. kurtz. leader OF the anti-Han-
na Republicans, and Allen o. Miers, who
is endeavoring 10 bring the Democratic
members elect Of the legislature into line
for the proposed fusion.
At these conferences which began this
morning and continued into the night. the
Democrats were asked TO state just how
many OF their members could be counted
upon In the proposed fusion. 1t IL stated
that seven Democrats had refused posi-
lively TO vote for any one except Demo-
crat for United States senator. not even
Free Silver Republican. 1t is also un-
derstoad that the number OF Democrats
who will oppose fusion may be Increased
TO ten or fifteen.
II developed that almost the entire
Democratic vote Of the legislature Will
be required on fusion to defeat Hanna,
and the Democratic leaders are not will
ing 10 enter into any arrangement which
may faE OF success. as It would expose the
party 10 riascule. II was determined TO
summon all the Democratic members 20
Columbus at once. and teiegrams were
sent to all Of them requesting them 70 re-
rort Friday afternoon without fan for a
conference.
Whether the plans for a fusion Will be
pushed or some plan be adopted by Mr..
Kurtz. will probably bc determined by
.hs. conference. The only Republican
members conspicuous at the anti-Hanna
HEADQUARTERS were representatives Bran
lev and Mason. OF Cleveland. II was
given ou. that Senator Burke. Of cleve-
