The age-herald., 1898-01-04

arrival of the -Hannaists and the most elaborate floral designs were on hand for the occasion. The feeling of the republican members who voted for their caucus nomi- nees is openly expressed against Governor Bushnell more than against MT Kurtz or other republicans who combined with the democrats.
 Bushnefl's Picture in Mourning
 The State Journal, the republican organ of Central Ohio, prints a large picture of Governor Bushnell with heavy black bor- ders Some republican clubs have cancelled their engagement of quarters here for the inauguration exercises next Monday, and many protests are being received at the state house. Col T. w. Moore, of Marietta, another appointee of Governor Bushnell, today resigned as trustee of the state in- sane asylum at Athens.
 The feeling of revenge was shown in the executive proceedings. Representative Bramley, of Cleveland, introduced a bill to repeal the fifty-year franchise law for street railways in which Senator Hanna Is largely interested. Bramley is a con trac- tor who has large. contracts under the municipal administration of Mayor Mo- Kisson,, and other members from Cleve- land, who are supporting Hanna. are said to have measures ready for charges and Investigations at Cleveland that would af- feet Bramley.
 Jones Pays the Freight. Representative Jones, of Stark county, republican who is opposing Hanna, has been frequently reminded that the county convention that nominated him adopted strong resolutions instructing him to SUD- port Hanna.
 MT. Jones was chairman of the commit- tee on resolutions in that county conven- tion and declared himself then for Hanna. Today MT. Jones offered a very strong Cuban resolution that is in conflict with Senator Hanna's vote on the Cuban ques- tion in the senate. Representative Scott, of Fulton county, who voted with "the combine" today, and who is opposing Sem ator Hanna, was also instructed by reso- lutions at the county convention that nomi- mated him. Some of Scott's constituents today had the Fulton county conventions resolutions published here in the local pa- pers. Both sides are spending the night in close conferences.
 Senator Burke.
 All the changes that are being sought are anticipated from reports. It Is con ceded that Senator Burke, one of the re- publicans senators from Cleveland who has not yet appeared will be here and vote against Hanna. His attorney today pre- sented his certificate of election to Lieu tenant-G Governor Jones just before the sem ate. convened. The senate will cast sev- enteen votes for Hanna and nineteen against him.. If Hanna is no stronger in the house that Boxwell ticket was today when Boxwell received ifty-three votes and Mason fifty-six for speaker, then Senator Hanna would have only seventy votes on joint ballot and seventy-three are neces- sary to elect. Notwithstanding the results on the organizations of both houses both sides seem equally confident in claiming the senatorship on joint ballot.
 Mark Makes an Address.
 After long conference of the Hanna managers tonight the following statement was given out from the senator's headquar- ters:
 While the failure of the republicans to organize the two houses of the legislature was surprise and a matter of regret to the supporters of Senator Hanna, they do not believe that it has any bearing upon, ,>or especial relation to the senatorship. The members of the legislature were not pledg- ed or instructed by their constituents in any way to vote for any individual as an officer of the legislature. In the case of the senatorship the case is different. The state constitution declares, section 8, that the people have the right to assemble together in peaceful manner to consult for their commor good, to instruct their representa- tives and to petition the general assembly for the redress of grievances.
 Plays to the Galleries.
 "The people have exercised their priv- leges and right under the state constitu- tion by assembling in both county and state conventions and declaring with an unex- ampled unanimity in favor of the election of Senator Hanna to the senate. The people of S4 of the SS counties declared in conven- tion assembled their desire that he be elect ed senator by this general assembly whtich has been today organized and the state con- vention so declared unanimously. In view of these facts and of the general express sion of public opinion since the election 1t Is felt that action of today should not and cannot be construed as having any rela- tion to the senatorial question.
