While the resolutions that will be
presented at the mass convention to-
morrow will not differ materially from
those heretofore adopted in the coun-
ties, it is intimated that there will be
one appealing to Senator Foraker, as
the senior senator from Ohio, to declare
himself There is no doubt about the
tone of the resolutions on Governor
Bushnell and the boiling Republican
members, and in their demanding the
resignation of Charles i. Kurtz as the
Ohio member of the Republican ma
tional committee but there are differ
enceS of opinion among the Republican
managers as to the Foraker resolution.
MISTAKES
Since the epidemic of local indigna-
ton meetings and the crusade for a
general gathering here tomorrow, some
of the managers of the opposition say
two mistakes have been made on their
side. The first alleged mistake was in
exposing their strength in organizing
the Legislature, and the second in al
lowing ii to adjourn from Wednesday
until Monday, so that such members
as Manuel of Montgomery and Griffith
of Union could go home and meet their
constituents 1t was thought the or
ganization of the legislature was a set
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 publicly for
Hanna.
Representative Joyce of Guernsey,
who voted with 'the combine" in or
ganization, has announced positively
that he will support Hanna. His OPP
position was solely against BoXWell for
speaker. Meanwhile, Jones of Stark,
Rutan of Carroll and other Re
publicanS who voted with the
Democrats last Monday, have since
undergone such fire from their con-
stituents that they are expected yet to
square themselves by voting for Han
ma. While there were ten dissenting
Republican members last week, the
Hanna men say there will 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.
TRAPPED.
While there have been charges and
countercharges of bribery, there was
considerable stir today over the pub
LEGATION of the following in the Com
mercial Tribune, and in different forms
in other Republican papers:
WI lille Senator Hanna and his man
improper use of money in the senatorial
contest, they have all known that the
ethics of the case were not so strongly
observed by the opposition. Therefore,
when an opportunity was offered to get
discriminating evidence against the
combine, Mr. Hanna'S managers were
quick to improve it. A trap YES set
for the opposition and worked through
one of the members of the combine,
who has been trying to get away from
Senator Hanna Some of the opposition
kept trying to get an audience with
this member. until it was decided to
accommodate them. Accordingly an in

vance the precaution had been taken
by the member to conceal stem
ographer in the room, who took down
every word of the interview, an inn
portant part of which was an offer of
$4,000 cash made to the member if he
would vote against Senator Hanna.
Just what use will be made of the
stenographer's notes will be governed
by the course OF the fanti-Hanna pee-
ple'
1t is stated on good authority that
the above case became known to the
opposition soon after their organ made
a sensational publication about the
grand jury being called on to investi-
gate the action of several workers for
AT any rate, there has been nothing
said about the grand jury's work since
