ond term. Including both the short and

Less than two years ago scnato.
Hanna entered politics in advocating
William McKlnleF's candidacy for the
presidency. He was successful as the
leader Of tho Mckinley forces at St.
Louis In the convention and afterwards
chairman OF the national Republican
committee. For almost q year he has
been IN the senate as the successor OF
o. Secretary John Sherman.
During his short service in public life
Senator Hanna has participated in
hard fighting. but he never before won
suc. victory us that OF to-day. Fac
:Ional fighting has wnged among Ohio
Republicans for years. Others had been
fzhtlag under cover. Senator Hanna
came out openly at the state convention
in Toledo last June and defeated
Charles L. Kurtz, the close friend OF
Senator Foraker. Gbverno. Bushnell,
and others. for chairman OF the state
committee. Kurtz had been q member
OF the state committee for many years
and Its chai:manAfor two preceding
years.
Although Alr. Hanna was dulS de-
clared senator. 1t noon to-day. for both
the long and short terms. yet the op-
position continued Its fight In the after
noon. and Is still fighting tonight. Just
Dre"ious TO the separate balloting yes
terday the opposition was disappointed
BY the withdrawal OF Jeptha Garrard.
the silver Republican candidate for
seaator. 1t was thought that Carrard
would get the votes OF Representative
D,oste and Lane. who voted'for Hanna.
Gltrard's friends say he withdrew be-
cause he was being used as means
for creating u deadlock FOR the benefit
Of Others.

Docse stated that the senator's and
representatives from Cleveland were in
structed FOR Haanaia and Indignantly re-
1ected the proposition. The proposition
was also made TO Mrs. Dodge. who was
equally az Indignant as he. husband.
Inc opposition to-day knew they were
oetsated before the joint balloting be-
san. but fought to the last on the
eaarges ot bribery and coercion. In the
Joint ba!!oting to-day there were no
chafGes whatever by the senator's over

ceiVed nineteen votes and Hanna sew
