The record-union., 1898-01-09

The opposition made repeated and
Foraker to come here, and that has
been regarded as an indication that he
was needed. But the senior Senator
from Ohio left Cincinnati last night for
Washington without stopping at Co
lumbus. 1t is reported that certain
parties met the Senator on the way
before his departure, but nothing def
mite is known as to the matter. Efforts
to get Foraker or John Mclean have
failed, and withal they are credited
with being the two great factors in the
Combine
The wife of Representative Griffith
left this afternoon to join her husband
at Marysville. Mr.. Griffith announced
to a meeting of his constituents last
night and again to-day that he did not
want to vote for Hanna, but if it was
their wish he would do so. There is no
lack of effort in Union County on the
part Of the people to express their
wishes to their Representative, and he
is being transferred to the Hanna list.
The Hanna list stood "A to II against
the Senator yesterday, but with the
changes of Manuel of Montgomery and
Griffith of Union, the Hanna men claim
that they have the necessary 70 votes
to II for the opposition if the election
should take place to-day. The anti
Hanna managers are charging bribery.
Reports from Indignation meetings in
the counties to-day and tonight are
pouring into the Hanna headquarters.
These meetings of the clubs, county
committees and other organizations, at
which speeches We're made and resolu-
tions adopted against Governor Bush
NELL the boiling Republican members
and others, will not be continued unless
there is n deadlock next week. Those
who have been holding meetings at
| their homes this week will be here Mon
day for the general mass meeting that
has been called by the Republican State
Committee, the same as the local meet
ings have been called by the county
committees.
The ceremonies for the Inauguration
Of Governor Bushnell occur at noon
Monday next, and a mass meeting is
announced for $50 p. n. AS the in
augural exercises will not be over when
the mass meeting begins, there is in
tense feeling among the friends of Gov
ernor Bushnell, Mr.. KurtZ and others,
| because this meeting was called at a
time when it would conflict with the
inauguration. The State Committee
explains that many who will be here
on Monday expect to leave on the even
ing trains, and that no later hour could
be fixed for the meeting, at which
strong resolutions will, no doubt, be
adopted against the newly inaugurated
Governor, the boiling Republican mem
bers Of the Legislature and others. The
clubs that refused to participate in
the inauguration will attend the mass
meeting in bodies, and there are fears
of serious collisions on the streets.
While it is apprehended that there
may be Kisses and all sorts of insults to
the Governor during the inauguration
parade, it is known that there have
been special arrangements made to pro-
tect his excellency from personal vio-
lence Serious trouble is feared dur
ing the inauguration and at the mass
meeting, and especially on Monday
night, after both of these occasions are
over
The attendance will be greater than
ever before on an Inauguration. The
railways report their incapacity in
some places to furnish sufficient cars
for all who want to come. The reports
indicate that the excursionists are
mostly the members of the Republican
clubs and citizens who want to attend
the mass meeting and participate in
other public expressions of Indignation
! and those Republican members of the
