INDIGNATION MEETING.
vigorous Denunciation of the Opponents Of
Senator Hanna.

ma was beaten for week previous to
last Friday, when Representative Man |
del of Montgomery, changed in his
favor. on Saturday the Hanna men
secured Representative Griffith, of
Union, but they made no accessious
Sunday or yesterday and it is the gen
eral belief that they are short one vote.
1t has been agreed by a conference
committee that the balloting in the
two houses will not begin until o'clock
this afternoon, and there may be sew
eral changes in that time. There is a
feeling among many of those opposing
Hanna that if he Is not defeated on the
first ballot, or rather by the separate
ballots today, that he will not be de-
feated at all. These anti-Hanna work
ers say they had a majority of five
against Hanna when they exposed their
strength in organizing the Legislature,
|. and if they come down to a majority of
only one against Hanna today that the
coalition may not hold together for an
other day.
While the opposition still insists on
| Kurtz as the candidate against Hanna.
/ yet they say that Bushnell, Kurtz or
any other one will be dropped as soon
as it is demonstrated that he cannot
secure all Of the votes of either the

is advocated as the labor candidate
against the capitalists.
While the mass convention Of the
| Republicans Yesterday afternoon was
the largest and most Indignantly en-
thusiastic assemblage ever known in
this state, the doubtful Republican
members of the legislature did not see
IT or feel IT. They were closely and
literally entertained by the opposition
at the Great Southern hotel during the
afternoon and night. Representatives
Manuel, Griffith, Snider and others are
having the undivided and constant at
tention of the other side
There are at times lively scews when
Hanna workers invade the rooms of the
opposition at the Great Southern hotel
and also when the hustlers for the op-
position come to the Neil House after
some of the doubtful members or their
friends. There is doubt also about the
final vote of some of those on whom
both sides have been counting.
The mass Republican convention at
the Auditorium in this city yesterday
afternoon was the largest assemblage
ever known in the history of the city.
The capacity of the Auditorium is 5000.
All the standing room was taken and
many thousands were unable to gain
admittance. The meeting lasted from
to p. m. There We're repeated scenes
