elected to the Assembly To guard
against this chance, let every Demo-
cratic member be present when the ball
lots for Senator are taken
But this is not all. Let them vote for
the same candidate in opposition to
Hanna, and let this candidate be one
Tor whom every Foraker Republican
can vote. This will not only defeat
Hanna's election, but it will insure the
election of another. A failure of the
Democrats and Foraker Republicans TO
agree is exactly the opportunity Hanna
seeks
Let no Democratic member of the
Legislature suppose that a time viii
ever arise during this session when
Democratic candidate for the Senate
can be elected. No Foraker Republi-
can 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 fac
tion.
But as these Foraker Republicans
stand ready now to unite with the
Bryan Democrats to agree on a Repub-
lican other than Mark Hanna, let no
Democratic member hesitate. Let the
fusion be as complete between all VINO
oppose Hanna as it was in opposition TO
Boxwell, so that Hanna can be defeated
and some opponent elected on the very
first ballot. This is the only sure method
of outgeneraling Hanna.
"It is not only idle, but it is folly, TO
talk about electing a Democratic Sena-
tor, or casting complimentary votes for
popular Democrats. No man worthy 10
be Senator in the Democratic party IN
Ohio desires in this crisis to receive
complimentary vote from any Demo-
cratic member of the Legislature. On
the contrary, any man in the Demo-
cratic party who permits compliment
tary vote to be cast for him will deserve
the censure of the next Democratic
State convention for his miserable ana
selfish ambition.

A report was current that 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 a candidate Tor
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
Last evening the "Press, a local
Democratic paper, contained an editor
fal advising the Democratic members
to vote for a Democrat for Senator. To-
night the same paper reverses its po-
sition editorially, and advises the Dem
ocratic members to vote for any Re-
publican TO defeat Hanna. 1t is also
known that influence is being brought
to force all the Democrats into line. A
number of these members have declared
they would not vote for Republican,
and if they persist in their attitude,
there will be a deadlock
said now to be to force all the Demo-
Gratis into line, and defeat Mr.. Hanna
at the outset There is no lack of con-
dence at the anti-Hanna headquarters,
although the demands being made upon
the boiling Republicans is increasing
every hour The Democrats are now
demanding, it is said, Congressional
gerrymander AT present but FIVE of
Al ct
in the State are counted as Democrat
ic. 1t is said that Senator Fink of
Perry County, whom Congressman
Grosvenor defeated one year ago, is
engaged in preparing the redistricting
measure He seeks to put himself and
General Grosvenor in strong Demo-
cratic district, so that the old battle
can be fought over. Senator F'ink's
BILL it is claimed. will receive the sup
port of Mr. Kurtz. who wants to down
the Athenian statesman, and get even
with him for taking hand in the Sen
atorial contest.
Hon. II. II. Redky from Highland
County came out to-day for Hanna. He
has been claimed by the anti-Hanna
people Wednesday several Hanna Re-
publieans came here from Highland
county iu idtpl With fAtnhN Iit
gave them an audience, and listened
patiently until they were through AT
the conclusion he told them he would
support Mr. Hanna. When asked
about the matter tonight, Mr.. Redky
said:
''You can state that am fully deter
mined to vote for Senator Hanna, and
shall do so next Tuesday"
