HANNA JUBILANT.
Count of Noses Reveals Loss to the
Combine.


Combine.
Columbus, O., Jan. S.-Hanna is gain
ing on the home stretch. Reliable re-
ports today indicate that he has the
necessary 70 votes. the Hanna head
quarters are jubilant. The opposition
has depended upon the following ten
Republicans voting with the 90 Demo
cratic members of the legislature:
Representatives Mason and Bramiey
of Cuyahoga, Jones of Stark, Griffith
of Union, Otis of Hamilton, Scott of
Fulton, Redkey of Highland, Rutan of
Carroll, Manuel of Montgomery and
Senator Burke OF Cleveland. This
would make the joint ballot stand IS
to 20 against Hanna.
At a public meeting in Dayton last
night, at which resolutions were adopt
ed condemning Governor Bushnell and
the boiling Republicans, and demand
ing that Charles L. KurtZ resign as the
Ohio member of the national Repub-
lican committee, Representative Man
uel made a speech, pledging himself
unequiyocally for Hanna. Representa-
tives Griffith of Union and Jones of
Stark are reported TO have done like
wise at their homes, and there are like
reports about Rutan and Redkey.
CONDITIONS REVERSED.
The Hanna men go so far as to claim
today that it is IS to 20 in their favor
for next week. There are apparently
Y members now pledged TO Hanna pub
licly. but this is one short, and the
opposition concede no loss except that
of Manuel
The anti-Hanna men admit that after
securing control of both branches of
the legislature, they made a great mis-
take in adjourning from Wednesday to
Monday, and having the members go
home until inauguration day. The Re
publican members who are co-operat-
ing with the Democrats against Hanna
were thus confronted with the indignG-
ton meetings at their homes. which
are likely to turn the tide in favor of
Senator Hanna.
FORAKER NEEDED.
The opposition made repeated and
persistent efforts last night for Senator
Foraker to come here, and that has
been regarded as an indication that he
was needed. But the senior senator
from Ohio left Cincinnati last night
for Washington, without stopping at
Columbus. 1t is reported that certa.n
parties met the senator on the way, or
before his departure, but nothing def
mite is known as to the matter. All
r. Mclean here have failed, and withal
they are credited with being the two
great factors in "the combine"
The wife of Representative Griffith
left this afternoon to join her husband
at Amoysville. Mr. Griffith announced
to a meeting Of his constituents last
night, and again today, that he did not
want to vote for Hanna, but that il it
was their wish, he would do so. There
is no lack of effort in Union county now
on the part of the people to express
their wishes to their representative.
and he is being transferred to the
Hanna list.
CHARGES OF BRIBERY.
Hanna list stood "A to II against the
senator yesterday evening, but with
the changes of Manuel of Montgomery
and Griffith of Union, the Hanna men
claim that they have the necessary 10
vote to Y for the opposition if the cleo
ton should take place today The
Hanna men claim that the turn is in
their favor on any other changes that
may occur previous to the balloting
next Tuesday. The anti-Hanna man
ayers are making charges today of
bribery.
