IT LOOKS LIKE
"VE DOODLE BOSS.
Hanna Men Claim a Majority
Of Votes in the Legis.
lature.
HIS FRIENDS ARE JUBILANT.
The Opposition Are Not Now as Confident
Of Victory as They
Were.

Columbus, Jan. s.-Eanna is gain.
ing on the home stretch. At the eau
ouses one week ago tonight he was
beaten and has been beaten ever since,
but there are reliable reports that he
has she necessary 73 votes. The Hanna
headquarters seem jubilant and the
opposition seems less confident. The
opposition depended upon the follow
ing ten republicans voting with the
sixty-fi democratic members of the
Legislature Mason and Belamly, Of
Cuyhoga; Jones, of Stark; Griffith, Of
Union; Otis, of Hamilton; Scott, of
Fulton; Rediky, Of Highland; Rutan.
Of Carol; Manuel, of Montgomery,
and Senator Burke, Of Cleveland. This
would make the joint ballot stand rs
to 20 against Hanna. At a public
meeting In Dayton last night resolu-
tion was adopted which condemned
Governor Bushnell and the boiling
republican members, and demanding
shat Charles L. T. Kurtz resign as the
Ohio member of the national republi-
can committee. Representative Man
uei made speech pledging himself
ansquivocally for Hanna. Represen-
tative Griffith, of Union, and Jones, of
Stark, are reported to have done the
same thing at their homes, and there
are like reports from Rutan, Of Car
FOIL and the senator from Highland.
The Hanna men 60 so far as to
claim today that it is rs to 20 the
other way and in their favor for next
week. Apparently "a members are
pledged to Hanna publicly, but the
opposition conceds no less except that
Of Manuel. While Rep ressntativs
Griflth 10 at home with his constit-
usnts Mrs. Griffith is ct the Great
Southern hotel, where the anti-Hanua
men have their headquarters, and she
10 still with the opposition. The
Anti-Hanna men admit that after Sc
curing the control Of both branches of
the Legislature they made great mis-.
take in adiourning from Wednesday
until Monday and having members 60
home until Inauguration day. The
republican members who are oo-op-
Grating with the democrats against
Hanna are thus confronted with in
dignatisn meetings at their homes
which are likely to turn the tide in
favor Of Senator Hanna. The opposi-
tion made repeated and most persist
snt efforts last night to get Senator
Foraker to come here and that has
been regarded 30 an indjNation that he
was needed, but the senior senator
from Ohio left Cincinnati last night
for Washington without stopping at
Columbus. It 10 reported that certain
parties met the senator on his way or
bsfors his departure, but nothing def
nits 10 known as to the matter.
All efforts to get either Foraker or
Jehn r. Mclean failed and they are
credited with being the two greatest
factors in the combine. The republi-
can fsotional fighting in Ohio began
In 1880 whom sx-Sssretary Of the
Treasury Charles Foster was governor
and blamed by the Sherman men with
dividing the Ohio delegation and caus-
ing Garfield to bs nominated in place
Of Sherman. At the St. Louis conven-
tion last June the cid fastIonal feeling
was controlled BY Hanna who sacri-
iesd everything else for McKinley's
nomination. Foraker presented Nc
Kinley's name. He was chairman Of
the Ohio delegation Of the COMMITTEES
on resolutions, and Charles L. Kurtz
was then made the Ohio member Of
the national republican committee.
