POLITICAL GOSSIP.

The ohio situation viii probably enter
tain the public until the legislature meets
In January ueSt. Meanwhile there will
be all SORTS OF runlors about combines
against Senator Hanna and many predic
tions as to his ultimate defeat. There may
be an accident here, as in any other mat
ter, but the indications all point to the
election Of the present Junior Senator from
Ohio. Up To the present time no mem
ber-elect of the legislature who viii take
his seat as the result Of the suffrages of
Republican ma jority ha s been found who
has said that he should be a party TO any
combiue.
At most it looks as if there could only be
prolonged struggle such as there was in
Kentucky, but even this, well informed
0hioans deny. Ii the precedent estab-
lished when Mr. Foraker was elected to
succeed Mr.. Brice be followed III the
case at hand there viii be no caucus.
Senator Foraker was indorsed and nom
mated for the Republicans OF Ohio at tile
GAINESVILLE convepti0n, and when the legis
lature met the formality OF holding a
caucus was not gone through with. There
is d good deal of talk among Republican
Inenbers-elegt OF the incoming legislature
of demanding q caucus. This viii prob
aiiy be complied with and the name of
Mr.. Hanna, as The name Of anyone else
might be, Will t1s placed before the party
caucus for action. That Mr.. Fl anna win
secure tire majority Of the party caucus no
one denies That there viii he votes against
him IN the caucus no one denies, but there
is little probability OF those who oppose
him in the Caucus continuing their opposi-
Uion when the yobe comes to be taken in
joint assembly.

There are several members of the general
assembly--possibly sixteen all told-who
owe MI Hanna nothing Their nomination
was antagouiae1 by him and liis friends
most bitterly, and when the caInpa ign
became hot, Hanna and his friends only
urged taeir election because Of the des-
peraue straits III which they We're placed
aud the absolute necessity for every vote
Particularly was the ennfity OF Hanna
shown toward the candidates who were

two men viii support Hanna in caucus. but
they Will bow to the Will Of the majority.
They, together with all the others W hom
Hanna opposed, viii seek the opportunity

tempt Tor Hanna and his methods. They
may even absent themselves from the
chainber when the joint vote is taken In
order TO show their hatred of this man
who has sought TO override them, and
they may cause deadlock for some
days. in order to emphasize the situa tiou
and SNOW Mr.. Hanna that they alone can
put him into the Senate, bat none OF these
men viii ever vote for anyone other than
Republican, and 1t is doubtful if they
some one other than Hanna against tn,
wishes OF shat candidate, whoever he
might be.

But I've a son who's in the game and that
quite alters IT.
Look! That il he at tackle there-I see they We
stopped the play
To put fresh man opposite and bear the first
away.
I sometimes fear my boy pursues the sport
with too much vim,
For no one ever lasts a half against Eliakim.
A serious youth, Eliakim-he's studying to be
parson like his father. He is meek and slow
to wrath,
A truly perfect type of humble minded piety,
But when he bucks the center, sir he always
clears path.
The lad keeps his old Adam under excellent
control,
Though rather think it rises when he has to
tear hole,
And those who fancy serious youths offeminate
and prim
Should try to make their distance through MY
son Eliakiml
And even /, If somo stout back comes charging
ut the line
tThough well know that body is to spirit
but as dross),
Can hardly choose but cheer for that Elialim
of mine,
Who heayes him up md hurls him Off and
downs him for loss.
1t Is Il trivial cause of pride-bEt yet they say
that few
Can break up interference as Eliakm can do
1t is the morest vanity, bat yet, when things
look grim
The man they give the ball TO is my son Ella.
What's that? Fourth DOWN. They're lining up
not five yards from our goal,
And only half minutes play before the
game will closel
The scores tie. We've got tho ball, you say
Then, on my soul,
They'sl surely send Eliakim-ycs, bless him,
thtre he goes!
He's started well. He'll strike them as he
tackles-low and hard.
Hes going to make his play between the cen
ter and the guard.
trust that center and that guard are sound
in wind and limb,
For were they unshorn Samsons they d not
stop Eliakim!
He's through, 81 course, but now's the time
he's got to face the worst.
They have their backs TO meet him, though
the line has let him by.
Don't wait to dodge-dont try to trip-go into
them head first
Give thnt big man your shoulder, quick, and
smite him hip and thigh!
That's good-he's passed-now do the same
for each and every one
And run for all and every bit that's in your
legs, my son!
They're coming up behind you, and your
chance is growing slim
Oh run for your old fathers sake, my boy
Eliakim!
Too late-they're up in front of him-they're
closing all around.
He's made noble gain, but it is all that he
will get.
There! Down at last-and still ho goes-le's
crawling on tho ground.
There aren't enough to hold him, and tho
lad will do it yet!
He'll do it yet-hes blowing on right through

He'll do it yet-hes carrying half their team
