Ohio Legislature Returns Him TO the
United states Senate.

United states senate.
Columbus, o.. Jan. 13.--Marcus A.
Hanna was elected Wednesday to rep
resent Ohio in the senate for seven
years and two months. IL Mr.. Mckin-
ley should be reelected, Senator Hanna
would still be there TO the end of the.
presidents second term. Including
both the short and the long terms.
Hanna's time as senator will expire in
March, 1905.
Less than two years ago Senator
Hanna entered politics in advocating
William McKirley's candidacy for the
presidency. He was successful as the
leader Of the Mckinley forces at the
ST. Louis convention and afterwards as
chairman OF the national republican
committee. For almost a year he has
been in the senate as the successor OF
Secretary John Sherman.
| During his short service i'm public
life Senator Hanna has participated in
hard fighting, but he never before won
such victory as that of Wednesday.
fractional fighting has waged among
Ohio republicans for years. Others had
been fighting under cover. Senator
Hanna came out openly at the state
convention in Toledo last June and de-
| feated Charles l.. Kurtz, the close
friend of Senator Foraker, Gov. Bush
nell and others, for chairman OF the
state committee. Kurtz had been
member Of the state committee for
many years and its chairman for the
two preceding years. lie was the Ohio
| republican chairman in 1885 and again
in 1896. In the latter year Senator Ham
ma, who was then managing the presi-
/ dental campaign. was not satisfied
with the work in Ohio, and he did not
want Kurtz in that position for 1897.
Hanna defeated Kurtz at Toledo for
chairman, and has had faetional war
on himself ever since.
/ The opposition knew they were de-
feated before the joint balloting be-
gan, but fought TO the last on the
charges Of bribery and coercion. In tie
joint balloting there were no changes
whatever by the senators over their two
ballots OF Tuesday for the long and
short terms. McKisson received 10 votes
and Hanna IL. When the roll 81 the
house was called IL resulted In the bal
lots for both terms as follows: Hanna,
SO; Mckisson, 81; Lentz. ]. and one abb
sent Creamery. The joint ballots for
both terms resulted as follows: Hanna.
10; MeKisson. 20; Lent, /; absent.
SCrameD. The official declaration
showed that Hanna had majority Of
three over Mckisson, OF two over all
voting and Of one over all the members
in the general assembly.
The demonstrations In the hall were
unusually enthusiastic. Gov Bushnell
and some other state officers were not
present
Previous to the two houses Of the leg
islature going into joint convention at
noon for the election Of a senator, reso-
buttons were offered IN both houses for
an investigation of the bribery charges
made by Representative Otis, of lIamil-
ton county. After the election Of Han
ma. the house adjourned until to-day
with its resolutions still under consid-
sration. Consideration of this resoln-
ton was resumed in the senate i'm the
afternoon and adopted by vote Of 20
