COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. s, 1S98.-Hanna
is gaining on the homestretch. There
are reliable reports today indicating that
he has the necessary seventy-three votes.
The Hanna headquarters are jubilant
and the. opposition seems less confident.
The opposition has depended upon the
following ten Republicans voting with the
65 Democratic members of the Legisla-
re:-Representatives Mason and Brain
ley of Cuyehoga, Jones of Stark, Griffith
of Union, Otis of Hamilton, Scott of Full
ton, Redkey of Highland. Rutan of Car
roll, Manuel of Montgomery and Senator
Burks of Cleveland.
This would make the joint ballot stand
Is to 70 against Hanna At public meet
ing in Dayton last night, at which reso-
lutions were adopted condemning Cover
nor Bushnell and the bolting Republican
members and demanding that Charles L
Kurtz resign as the Ohio member of the
National Republican Committee. Repre-
sentative Manuel made a speech pledging
himself unequivocably for Hanna, repre-
sentatives Griffith of Union and Jones OF
Stark are reported to have done the same
things at their homes. And there are
like reports from Rutan of Carroll and
Hedkey of Highland.
The Hanna men claim today that the
seventy in their favor. There are appa-
rently seventy-two members now pledged
to Hanna publicly, but that is one short.
The opposition concede no loss, except
that of Manuel While Representative
Griffith is home with his constituents,
Mrs. Griffith is here at the Great South
ern Hotel, where the anti-Hanna. men
have their headquarters. She is still with
the opposition.
The anti-Hanna men admit that after
securing control of both branches of the
Legislature, they made a great mistake
in adjourning from Wednesday to Mon
day and having their members go home
till Inauguration Day. The Republican,
Democrats against Hanna were thus con-
fronted with Indignation meetings at their
homes, which are likely to turn the tide
| in favor of Senator Hanna.
The opposition made repeated efforts
last night to get Senator Foraker to
come here. and this is regarded as an
| Indication that he is needed But the
senior Senator from Ohio left Cincinnati
| last night for Washington without stop
| ping at Columbus. 1t is reported that
certain parties met the Senator on the
| way or before his departure, but nothing
| definite is known as to that All efforts
| to get either Foraker or John r. Mclean
| here have failed.
| The Republican indignation meetings
! throughout the State are adopting reso-.
| lutions denouncing Governor Bushnell
| and the Republican dissenters in the
| Legislature and demanding that kurtz
! resign from the National Committee.
At the general mass meeting to be held
| here Monday afternoon, as soon as the
| inaugural exercises are over, the most
! radical speeches and resolutions on the
| pending revolution in this State are look
| ed for.
| The State Democratic banquet here to-
night in celebration of Jackson Day is
| also likely to bring some interesting de-
