Of the house. In the Sc
lection of officers of that body consid-
erations entirely different from those
relating to the representation OF
Ohio in the United States sem
ate were considered and the action
Of each member was based up
on these Individual and local consider
atoms and questions. In the case Of the
senatorship, the instructions of the
convention and the people them
selves in the election were all clearly
and with singular unanimity In favor
Of the selection of Mr.. Hanna for sem
ator, and it is not believed that the
action of any man in determining his
course as to the support Of candidates
for officers of the legislature can be as
sumed to be an evidence of hostility to
the man who was Endorsed for the SEN
with greater unanimity than
ever before in the history of Ohio, or
probably in the history Of the country.
Mr.. Hanna and his active supporters
fully and confidently believe that he
will receive the votes Of the members of
his party when they are called upon to
perform this special feature of the du-
ties for which they were elected. 1t is
not considered possible that any Re-
publican in the Ohio legislature will be
willing to pursue course which would
result in the substitution In the United
States senate of supporter of the dan
gerous doctrines upon which the DEM
ocratic party based its campaign Of 1896
for the man who led the Republicans to
victory against that party and those
principles, especially as that action
would result in turning over to the
Democracy and the friends of free silver
the control of the senate during at
least one-half If not all of the term of
Ohio's Republican president, William
Mckinley"

Dayton's entire delegation to the

THINKS IT'S FUNNY
CINCINNATI, Jan. 3.-The Enquirer
in it's Columbus special prints talk by
Governor Bushnell with one of its staff
of which the following
is part:
There are some things in this situa-
tion," said the Governor to an Enquirer
man, (which are positively ludicrous. 1
am accused Of inconsistency because l
won't support Hanna. Now, here are
Sam Bailey, Mr.. Tilley and several other
patriotic Cincinnatians who fought Cox
last fall up here under Cox's orders,
fighting for bigger boss than the one
whom they helped to defeat in Cincin-
natl and whose mandates they are now
out. Why are they doing it?
Because the administration, through
Mark Hanna, has promised that Cox
shall distribute the Federal patronage
in Cincinnati. In return Cox is to de-
liver to Hanna the votes Of certain Gins
,innati fusionists."

DIVIDING THE sPoILs
COLUMBUS, Jan. 3.-At the head
quarters of the combine tonight the
workers were engaged all night in en-
the anti-Hanpa Republican
members. In the apportionment of the
chairmanships the Democrats got 20 in
the house and the Republicans 10, that
body having Republican majority of
Is. In the senate, which is a tie polit-
ically, the Democrats got is chairman
ships and the Republicans a. On the
senatorial fight there were many ru-
mors about Hanna and Brice pulling to-
gether for gold standard senator and
Mclean and Bushnell for a free silver
senator. There were Democrats urging
Mclean as "the combine candidate,
rather than Bushnell, McKisson or
Kurtz, and Republicans were favoring
Brice rather than free silver Repub-
lican. Ex-senator Brice, in response to
inquiries, telegraphed Democratic mem
bers that the future and the integrity
Of the party would be best served by the
voting for a Democrat for
senator. The Republican Glee club of
