ronorts today indicate that he mas 'he

Quarters are jubliant. The opposi,ioh
aonanded upon the following ten

representatives Mason ana Branlcy

Al n public meeting in Dayton last
NIGHT at which resolutions Were
odopted condcmnlng Governor Bush
nell and the boiling Republicans ana
demanding that Charles l.. Kurtz re
sign as the Ohio member of the Ration
al Republican committee, Representa-
five Manuel made speech pledging
himself unequvocally for Hanna. Rep
resntatlyes Griffith Of Union and Jones
Of stark, are reported to have done
likcwise at their homes, and there are
. hike reports about Rutan and Redkey.
The Hanna men go so far as to claim
that 1t is IS to 20 in their favor for
next week. There are apparently "
hnembers now pledged to Hanna public
~ q, aI "a the
kition concede no loss except that OF
Manuel.
The anti-Hanna men admit that after
securing control Of both branches of
the legislature they made a great mis-
take in adjourning from Wednesday
TO Monday and having the members
go home until inauguration day. The
Republican members who are cooper
ating with the Democrats against Han
ma were thus confronted with indigna-
ton meetings at their homes which
are likely TO turn the tide in favor of
Senator Hanna.
The opposition made repeated and
Persistent efforts last night for Senator
Foraker to come here and that has
been regarded as an indication that he
was needed But the senior senator

lum6us, 1t Is reported that certain
parties met the senator on the way or
before his departure, hut nothing def
hite is known as to the matter. All
enorts to get either Foraker or John
n Mclean here have failed and withal
they are credited with being the two
great factors in the combine"
