co,rNpus, o., Jan. 7.-The combination
,ralust Hanna has had q heavy blow tonight.
Manuel, Republican from Dayton, who acted
With the Fusionists In organizing the Legisla-
,urs. made a speech tonight In the opera house
Al that city. and said he would vote first, last,
and all the time for Hanna. This fractures the
backbone of the rebellion. It Is believed.
Gov. Bushnell is now said to be out of tho
,sce as q candidate for either the long or tho
abort term as United States Senator. Tho in.
tense feeling all over Ohio has frightened
tbe friends OF the Governor, and they
are not willing that he should take tho
chances of q test Of his popularity
before this General Assembly. In his stead 1t is
said that Charles L. Kurtz, who has been the
life OF the present opposition to Hanna, will DO
The recipient of all the fnvors Of the combine for
both the long and the short term. Mr.. Kurtz
has asserted of late that he was q silver man,
and at the present time he says no is q stronger
silver man than he ever was before.
II is important that Mr.. Kurtz should insist
that he is a silver man at this time. There is n
clear majority In the Legislature for the princi-
pies adopted by tho Toledo Convention. but
the Republicans have allowed the issue
to escape them. Mr.. Kurtz is willing
to agree TO anything. The Democratic
members OF the Legislature are willing to vote
for q Republican, but no must have certain
qualifications. They express themselves as will.

have had the short term for Senator. but he

politics for the Democrats to elect a Democrat,
and in consequence he withdrew.
1t is not a question whether Kurtz can be
elected, but whether any combine candidate can
be elected. The statement Is made tonight
that there are at least eight Democrats in
the Assembly who arc or the doubtful
side, and who cannot persuade themselves
that it is the proper thing to vote for
o gold Republican for United States Sen-
ator. These men are willing to vote for
the right sort Of q Republican, but they are not
willing TO vote for anything that Is presented to
them. While the Republicans who arc in favor
oiHanna show no sign Of weakness. they are do
termined that II the regular Republican candi-
date cannot be elected nobody else shall be-.

The proclamation Of the self.constituted load

oil Democrats who do not agree with them are
traitors has aroused an intense Democratic feel.
