Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1898-01-10

The parade was made up principally
of military companies.
The lnassmeeting of Hanna people
will come off at p, m.
Collisions between adherents OF Bush
nell and Hanna are feared
The senatorial situation has not
changed. The conferences continue
day and night and the doubtful mem
bers are given no rest. But no such
fiops were announced as those of the
previous two days i'll favor of Hanna.
The workers for the senator say they
now have enough votes. The Kurtz
workers say they can spare another
vote or two and still defeat Hanna, but
they insist that they have lost all of
their doubtful men now and will stand
TO the last with at least eight Republi-
cans and the 65 Democratic members
against Hanna They even say that
they expect to get Manuel of Mont
gomery and Griffith of Union back
on their side again before Tues
+ day. 1t is also claimed by the
opposition that while Senator Han
na's forces have been charging on their
lines that they have been successfully
attacking his lines and have promises
from members on whom the senator has
been depending The Hanna men claim
two more accessions, but they will not
give any names as they did those of
Representative Manuel Friday night
and Of Representative Griffith Saturday
night
The opposition to Hanna has no bet
.-,,%s 1
from $500 to So, 1000 for even moneny in
| Hannas election have remained posted
at the Neil House for two DAYS without
takers, and there are other bets offered,
among them being one of $500 by General
Grosvenor on Hanna's election None of
the bets are ON the result of the first or
any other ballot, but all are offered on
the final result.
Since the epidemic of local indigna-
ton meetings and the crusade for a gen
eral gathering here today, some of the
managers of the opposition say two mis-
| takes have been made ON their side. The
first alleged mistake was in exposing their
strength IN organizing the legislature,
and the second in allowing it to adjourn
from Wednesday till Monday, so that
such members as Manuel of Montgom-
cry and Griffith of Union could go home
and meet their constituents It was
thought that the organization of the
legislature would settle things, but it is
cited that since Mason has been made
speaker, he is calling ON Senator Hanna
and since Griffith has been sworn in as
speaker pro tenn. he has come out pub
licly for Hanna. Representative joyce
of Guernsey who voted with ''the COM
bine" on organization, has announced
positively that he will support Hanna.
His opposition was solely against Box
well for speaker.
Meantime Jones of Stark, Rutan of
Carroll and other Republicans, who
voted with the Democrats last Monday
on organization have since undergone
such fire from their constituents that
| they are expected yet to square them
selves by voting for Hanna. While
there We're ten dissenting Republican
members last week, the Hanna men say
there VIII be only two or three this
week. And the changes are attributed
more TO the work that has been done in
the counties than here.
While there have been charges and
eountercharges of bribery, there was
considerable stir over the publication of
the following in the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune and in different forms
in other Republican papers:
'sWhile Senator Hanna and his man.
ayers 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 We're not SO strictly
observed by the opposition. Therefore,
when an opportunity was offered to get
discriminating evidence against the COM
blne, Mr.. Hanna's managers We're quick
to improve it. a trap was set for the
opposition and worked through one of
the members of the combination who
has been trying to get away from Sen
ator Hanna. Some of theopposition kept
trying TO get an audience with this
member until it was decided to accom-
modate them. Accordingly an inter
view was arranged for in certain room
in a certain hotel, but in advance the
precaution had been taken by the men,
Der to conceal stenographer i'll the
room, who took down every word of the
interview an important part of which
was an offer of 5000 cash made to the
member 1T he would vote against Sena-
tor Hanna. just what use will be made
of the stenographer' notes viii be gov
erned by the course of the anti-Hanna
people,
1t IS stated ON good authority that the
above case became known to 1.-The oppo-
sition' soon after their organ made a
sensational publication about the grand
jury being called on to investigate the
action of several workers for Hanna.
At any rate there has been nothing said
about the grand jury's work since last
Wednesday. The notes of the secreted
stenographer have been written out and
they comprise several pages of matter
