Nearly all the Democratic members

out last night, and there was great ac-
ttvity around the anti-Hanna head
quarters at the Great Southern Hotel.

between Mr. Kur;z and the Democratic

City,. Heretofore Il has been under

seemed dspreposterous. but 1t was vouch-

who broached the story, Mr.. Kurtz is
reported to have said that he did not

tment before, but. the numerous confer
lences which he has held with the DEM
ocratic leaders have. not caused much
confidence to be placed in 1t. Il was
claime d by samc that the demands OF
the Democrats had become so unreas-
;onable that Mr. Kurtz would have 70
abandon Sthe idea of q fusion. In this
event his only hope would be in creat-
ing deadlock by securing enough

sentiment. Delegations OF Republicans
VIII be brought into the city from all
parts, OF the state to influence the bolt
ing members. The sentiment being
aroused by the contest is already be-
coming quite bitter, especially IN this
city. The majority of the Republicans
are in favor of Senator Hanna's selec-
ton as matter OF fair, play, il for no
other reason. The activity OF Cover
nor Bushnell's employees, and the gov
ernor's acquiescence In the ATTEMPT 10
defeat Mr.. Hanna is directing criticism
against him rather, than against Mr.
Kurtz. Fears are entertained Tonight
by the general committee on arrange
ments for the inauguration OF Governor
Bushnell that the public demonstra tIon
would have to be abandoned unless the
Hovcrnor came forward to stay the sem
ftlment. The lworl: OF the COMMITTEES has
been seriously hampered by the feeling
aroused in the last day or two, Tie Re.
