OHIO's CLOSE VOTE.
Democrats May Help Republicans
Defeat Hanna.


Cincinnati, O., Nov. 7.-John r. Mclean
and party left tonight for Washington.
Mr.. Mclean has been considered the dem
ooratic candidate for senator and his de-
parture is regarded as an indication that
he comedies the legislature to the republi-
cans, Notwithstanding the numerous no
tees of contest.
Before his departure Mr.. Mclean held
conference with Chairman McConviile and
other democratic leaders. There is moth
ing known as to the probable policy of the
democrats as a minority in the legislature,
but it is believed they will join the anti
Hanna republicans in bringing out new
man for senator
The question has been raised as to
whether seVenty-three votes are necessary
to elect a senator, that number being a
majority of all. If a majority of a quo
rum only is necessary, some might be sick
or absent, as that would be less embar
raising than to be present and vote against
the caucus nominee.
The point has also been raised as to the
succession to the governorship. If Gov
Bushnell shold be elected senator by fu-
sion, the lieutenant governor, A. w. Jones'
would become the chief executive. AS the
state Senate is democratic by 10 to II, 1t
is held that q democratic senator would
succeed Mr.. Jones and be In line for the
governorship.

Columbus o., Nov. There have been
no developments in the legislative situa-
ton to-day, the democrats having appar-
emily abandoned all further effort to con-
test the election of republican representa-

majority of five on joint ballot in the gen.

changed unless the fusionlsts members in
Cincinnati vote with the republicans.

A Timely Present.

Tom was a colored boy about five, in
a southern town, and he was lazy and
careless, but not so much so that he
did not manage to get along somehow.
And Tom fell in love, for Cupid is no re-
specter of color or condition, but he
went up against his poverty at the first

way out. AS an experiment, he went

a bray came from their pen ON the bank
of the stream. Lambert had received
the assurance of his sergeant that the
missing men would surely turn up be-
fore breakfast on the morrow, and had
given permission to that harassed and
evidently disgusted official to go to bed.
Then, after turn around his sleeping
camp, the young fellow went to his
lonely roost Ito think things over.''
In the first place, as he lighted his
candle, there was the tin pail which had
rolled out from the Walton hedge row,
and which, on inspection, he had found
to contain about two pounds of fresh
butter, very neatly packed in lettuce
leaves. That proved that the Waltons
still had something of their old garden
left. Lettuce could surely be raised
only under glass at this inclement sea-
son. He had hitherto had no time for
close inspection of the contents. Now
as he turned over the leaves he found a
little slip of paper on which, in girlish
and somewhat "scratchy" hand, were
penned the words: please send small
currency. It's hard to get change. You
you'll bring pitcher. Due, $5.10. You
must pay it this time. l must have it,"

lady's customer" thought Lambert.

sergeants have been buying supplies

between the captain and the. old lady

enter the Walton grounds on any pre-
