BRIBES ARE
 OFFERED TO
 BEAT HANNA
Continued from First Page.

Stark, Redkey of Highland, Rutan of Carroll and other Republicans who voted with the Democrats last Monday. have since undergone such fire from their constituents that they are expect ed yet to square themselves by voting for Hanna While there were ten dis senting Republican members last week, the Hanna men say there will be only two or three this week. And the changes are attributed more to the work that has been done In the coun- ties than here.
 While there have been charges and counter charges of bribery, there was considerable stir to-day over the pub lication of the following in the Cincin- natl Commercial Tribune and in differ ent forms in other Republican papers.
 While Senator Hanna and his man agers have been careful to make no inn proper use of money in the Senatorial contest they have all along known that the ethics of the case were not so strictly observed by the opposition. Therefore, when an opportunity was offered to get discriminating evidence against the combine MT. Hanna's man agers were quick to improve it. A trap was set for the opposition, working through one of the members of the combine who has been trying to get away from Senator Hanna Some of the opposition kept trying to get an audience with this member until 1t was decided to accommodate them.
 Accordingly, an interview was ar ranged for in certain room of a cer- tain hotel, but in advance the precau- ton had been taken by the member to conceal a stenographer in the room who took down every word of the in terview, an important part of which was an offer of $500O cash made to the member if he would vote against Sena- tor Hanna Just what use will be made of the stenographer's notes will l be governed by the course of the anti 1 Hanna people"
 i It is stated on good authority that 1 the foregoing case became known to 1 the opposition soon after their organ ] made a sensational publication about | the Grand Jury being called on to in- vestigate the action of several workers | for Hanna. At any rate, there has | been nothing said about the Grand i Jury's work since last Wednesday. The notes of the secreted stenographer have been written out and they com l prise several pages of matter which is 1 in the possession of a very prominent i Republican. The two men who are ac- cused of offering s5000 are as well known in Ohio politics as are either 1 the senior or junior Senator or the | Governor. One of them holds an i'm 1 portant State office and the other has been an important official and leader in this city.
 These two prominent workers against Hanna were not the ones in the room l with the member of the Legislature and his concealed stenographer, but ! they sent their man to the legislator room, and when the member insisted l on knowing who authorized the offer the names of these two prominent par ties were named authorizing the offer of $5000
 | Ex-Governor Charles Foster, who was Secretary of the Treasury under Harrison, arrived in the city tonight. He has been considered as a compro- mise candidate for Senator, and by some considered as unfriendly to Han ma, but he soon declared himself for the Senator under the existing cir sumstances and was in conference with the Senator soon after his arrival.
