cratic press exerted every. influence to

"On this score it was the most brutal
campaign l have ever seen. There was
no regard for truth or deccncy on the part
of the democratic press. II was believed
that during the last three or four days
of the campaign that the democratic man
ayers had seen their mistake and had real
lied that there was 6 revulsion against
this abuse, but the continuance of it to the
very morning of the election was proof
that they believed 1t was the only weapon
in their hand. ard that it was the only
thing they could do to divert the attention
of the people from Mr.. Hanna's manhood
and merits, and the issue for sound

Possible Bolt From Hanna.
1t is not certain that the election of a
small majority of republicans in the Ohio
legislature will result in the return of MI
Hanna to the Senate. While there will be
every possible pressure used to hold the
republican members of the legislature in
line for Hanna, who will, of course, be
the caucus nominee, it is believed by some
whose opinion on this question is worthy
of the highest respect, that a certain few
republicans will positively refuse to vote
for Hanna, no matter how strongly they
are pressed.
No doubt is entertained that the demo-
Gratis in the legislature would gladly lend
themselves to any movement that had for
it's end the defeat of Hanna, and would vote
for most any republican who could get the
support of the necessary republicans to se-
cure his election with the assistance of the
democratic vote. The result of the cleo
ton, it is claimed by those opposed to him.
shows SO obviously that Hanna was the
weakening influence in the republican can
vass, that an opportunity Is opened for his
enemies IN the party to justify their rejec-

ularity came near losing the state to them.
and that there is popular opposition to
his retention in the Senate
