THE Ohio CONTEST
The Sabbath In Columbus Saw No
Hopping of Votes.
THIS IS A CRITICAL DAY
BOTH SIDES WILL HAVE RIVAL
DEMONSTRATIONS.
Inauguration of Governor Bushnell
and Convention Of Republicans to
Protest Against Kurtz and His
Bolters-Hanna Men Claim Two
More Accessions-No Names Given

Columbus, Jan. 9.-The senatorial sit
uation has not changed today. The con-
ferences contine day and night and
doubtful members are given no rest.
But no such fops were announced to-
day as those of the previous two days
in favor of Hanna.
The workers for the senator say
they have enough votes.
The Kurtz workers say they can
feat Hanna. But they insist that they
have lost all of their doubtful men
now, and viii stand to the last with
at least eight Republicans and So
Democratic members against Hanna.
They even say that they expect to get
Manuel of Montgomery and Griffith of
Union back on their side again before
Tuesday. 1t is also claimed by the
opposition that while Senator Hanna's
forces have been charging on their lines
that they have been successfully at
lacking his lines and have promises
from members on whom the senator
has been depending.
TWO MORE.
The Hanna men claim two acces-
sions today, but they will not give any
names. as they did those of Representa-
tive Manuel Friday night and of
Representative Griffith last night. The
opposition to Hanna has no betting yet
in it's favor. The bets, ranging from
$500 to $4,000 for even money on
Hanna's election have remained posted
at the Neil house for two days without
takers, and there are other bets Of
fered. among them being one of $500
by General Grosvenor on Hanna's cleo
ton None of the bets are on the re-
suit of the first or any other ballot, but
all are offered on the final result.
RIVAL SHOWS.
While the workers on both sides have
been chasing doubtful members and
holding secret conferences today, the
general public has been agitated over
the result tomorrow of the Inaugural
ton at noon and the Hanna mass
meeting in the afternoon. Both sides
are today arranging to avoid street
collisions or any kind of trouble if pos
sible at that time. The mass meeting
will not be called to order by Chairman
George X Nash, of the state Re
publican committee, till p. M, and
those in charge of the inauguration Of
Governor Bushnell will seek to have the
Inauguration exercises over before the
forum for the mass meeting. The rail-
roads have arranged to run the eXcur-
sion trains for those attending the in
auguration early in the morning and
for those coming to the mass meeting
later in the day. The Hanna men are
seeking to have as many here as posi-
BILE in the afternoon and the opposition
is equally energetic in rallying all they
can in the different counties for the
morning demonstration.
The militia and other organizations
are arriving tonight to take part in the
inauguration.
In the morning parade there will be
a marked absence of Republican clubs.
All the police of the city and many
detectives will be on hand for both
occasions. There have, in addition to
the regular number, been over 100
sergeant-at-a appointed for the
mass convention in the afternoon, with
ex-Chief of Police Alexis Keller as
chief sergeant-at-arms.
HANNA CONVENTION.
Chairman Nash will state the object
of the mass convention, that it was
called on the request of county Re
publican committees. etc, and then he
will introduce as chairman of the mass
Congressman Walter
Weaver of Springfield. who was spokes-
man last week of the Republican dele
cation that came from BushnelFs home
to call on the governor and protest
against the course of his eXcellency
in this senatorial contest. A. c. Caine

caucus candidates respectively for
clerks of the senate and house, will be
