Democrats and oraker Republicans to
agree Is exactly the opportunity Hanna
seeks.
LET no democratic member Of the
legislature suppose that time will
ever arise during the session when a
Democratic candidate for the senate
Can be elected. No Foraker Republican
can be induced to read himself out of
his party and thereby justify the charge
of traitor and deserter' that is even
now being made by the Hanna faction.
"But as these Foraker Republicans
stand ready now to unite with the
Bryan Democrats to agree upon a Re-
publican other than Mark hanna, let
no Democratic member hesitate. Let
the fusion be as complete between all
who oppose Hanna as it was in opposi-
ton to Boxwell, SO that Hanna can be
defeated and some opponent elected on
the very first ballot. This is the only
sure method to outgeneral Hanna.
lit is not ly idle, but it is folly to
talk about eleeting Democratic sena-
tor. or casting plimentary votes for
popular Democrats. No man worthy
to be senator IN the Democratic party
in hio 'iesie5s in this crisis to receive
complimentary vote Tom any Demo-

the contrary any man IN the Democratic
party who permits u complimentary
vote TO G cast for him will deserve the
censure of the next Democratic state
convention fer his miserable and selfish
ambition.
Tito Democrat who refuses to agree
upon al no orable Republican the
Foraker members unanimously propose
will III effect be casting at least half
the weight and influence of his vote
for Marx flanna.
THE Democrat whose vote would
elect Hanna's opponent i'll be a friend
of Hanna il ne refuses to cast it."
a all has been issued by he Repub-
lican state ex cutive con- aattee for a
mass convention OF RepaDIro rs, to be
held IN this city next Monday after.
noon, to protest against the attempt TO
defeat Senator Hanna. The call fol-
lows:
ITO the Republicans of Ohio: The
constitution of our state provides that
the people have the right to assemble
together in a peaceable manner, to con-
suit for their common good; to instruct
their representatives, and to petition
the general assembly for the redress of
grievances.
"We call upon you in the exercise of
this right, to meet in mass convention,
at the Auditorium, IN Columbus, on
Monday. Jan. 10, 1898, at 3 O'Clock
D. m
THE Republicans of Ohio, in county
district and state conventions assem-
bled, last spring and summer, prom
ised the people they would return M.
A. Hanna to the senate of the United
States A pledge more sacred was
never gwen. Upon this issue one of
the fiercest political campaigns in the
history of cur state was fought until
you achieved u splendid victory.
Turing this campaign few con-
spirators, pretended Republicans not
giving heed to the lawfully expressed
will OF a vast majority of the party,
sought IN every section of the state to
defeat the legislative nominees of the
Republican party. Overwhelmed and
defeated by your ballots they have
since consorted with your enemies for
the purpose of defeating your will
solemnly expressed at the ballot box.
By these acts they have shown that
they do not love the great and benef-
cent principles of our party, and that
the wishes of the people are not to be
regarded by them. All that is dear to
them is personal revenge and spoils
mot in anger, but with shame we
inform you that some OF your repre-
sentatives in the general assembly have
joined in this unholy compact and there
is danger that they will disregard your
wishes and expressed instructions.
1--WE, therefore, call upon you to as
semble and consult as to how our state
can be saved from this infamy and to
petition your representatives by your
presence and by your words to faith
fully perform the duty which you i'm
posed upon them"
A report was current that a telegram
had been received by the Democratic
leaders from John R. Mclean request
ing that his name be kept out of the
senatorial matter and urging the Dem
ocrats TO agree upon candidate for
senator to defeat Mr.. Hanna. While
there was no positive confirmation of
this story, there were developments
which led to the belief that it con-
tanned some truth.
Wednesday evening, The Press,
local Democratic paper. contained an
editorial advising the Democratic men,
bers to vote for Democrat for sem
ator. Last night the same paper re-
verses its position editorially. and adj
vises the Democratic members to vote
for any Republican to defeat Mr..
Hanna 1t is also known that influence
is being brought to force all the DEM
ocrats into line.
