THE SENATE SESSION.
How the Voting Proceeded In the Upper
Branch.

Branch.
COLUMBUS, Jan. 12.-The senate
chamber was crowded to its limit when
at II o'clock the first move in the great
senatorial contest was made. When the
lieutenant governor raped for order
and announced that the balloting for
United States senator was now under
consideration perfect quiet Immediately
reigned. Not sound was heard.
1t was just II o'clock when Senator
Sullivan arose to nominate Senator
Hanna. During the delivery of the ad-
dress it was % somewhat remarkable
scene The senators sat perfectly quiet,
facing the speaker. Crowded into the
hall were several hundred people, tax
ing up every possible foot of space, and
yet not a sound could be heard save tho
words of the speaking senator.
As Senator Burke pronounced the
name of Mr.. McKisson there was per
feet silence, though some feeling could
be plainly seen in the faces Of the aud
ience Senator Wolcott of Cleveland
Immediately seconded the nomination of
Senator Hanna. The nomination OF
Mayor McKisson was seconded by Sena-
tor Hnck.
Lieutenant Governor Jones then an
nounced that the ballot would be taken
by the senator's rising in their seats and
naming their choice.
Two votes were taken, one for tho
short and one for the long term. The
short term was voted for first.
Senator Burke of Cleveland was the
ID Nal 4 a
not vote for Hanna. Senator Voight,
the fusionist from Cincinnati, voted for
Hanna, as did all the fusion representa-
tives from Hamilton county except
Otis, who did not produce the dramatic
scene that had been announced and was
generally expected.
The ballot in the senate for the long
term stood 10 for McKisson and II for
Hanna, the same as ON the ballot for the
short term. With the II in the senate
and 90 in the house, Hanna has just the
requisite % votes for his election with
all present, but the absence of Repre-
sentative Cramer, Democrat, who is
dangerously sick, Hanna has one to
spare.
A remarkable scene took place in the
senate chamber when the vote from the
house was announced. The Republican
senator's, inspired by the encouraging
news, stood in their chairs and upon the
floor and shouted themselves hoarse
with calls for Hanna and victory. Moth.
ing like it was ever seen in an Ohio SEN
ate chamber. whats the matter with
Hanna?" they shouted, and the call
came back: Hes all right" It was
several minutes before the hall was
cleared.
