legislature met yesterday Senator
Hanna was appointed when Secretary
sherman went into the cabinet. Article
z, section of the statutes, is being
quoted as follows:

the recess of the legislature of anV
state, the executive thereof may make
temporary appointments until the next
meeting of the legislature which shall
then fill such vacancies"
While this talk about Ohio now hay-
ing only one senator proceeds, the Han
ma men explain that they want the

dtof Foraker two years ago Foraker
had been indorsed at the ZanesvilIe
state convention in 1894 for senator. and
was elected without any caucus or any
hcpubilcan opposition in the legisla-
ture. The Hanna men say that they
ASK that the same 'courtsey and loyal
ty' now prevail. The plank in the Re
publican state platform adopted at To-
ledo last June is being freely cited. IT il

THRUSTS AT HANNA.
The morning session of both houses
were devoted to routine business. SEN
ator Burke, Of Cleveland, arrived TODAY
from Chicago, and completed the full
attendance of the senator's Burke vot
ed with the Democrats, but took his
seat on the Republican side of the
chamber. In the house all sorts of
bills were introduced against corpora
lions. These measures were regarded
as thrusts at Senator Hanna An
amendment to the Nichols law. which
taxes the earnings of express, teIe-
graph, telephone and other companies.
was introduced, so as to include street
railways, electric light and power
equipment. artificial and natural gas.
pipe line, messenger, sleeping cars and
all other corporations There was also
a bill introduced to repeal the law FOR
a new state house. This was regarded
as returning the compliment to the Co
lumbus people, who have expressed
their protests to the course of Gov.
Bushnell.
While these measures were being
thrown in. a delegation of $50 from
Springfield, the home of Gov. Bush
nell, marched into the state house
wearing Hanna badges and with ban
ners of severe inscriptions. and called
on Gov. Bushnell. Congressman Wea.
yer, the spokesman of the visiting dele
cation, in addressing Gov. Bushnell
said:
I had the honor to present your name at
the Toledo convention, and am proud Of it, |
Circumstances have arisen which have |
changed the current of affairs. Certain per-
sons who claim to be Republicans are en-
deayoring to thwart Mr.. Hanna's candidacy, |
but we cannot believe you are one of these |
or that you are unloyal. For you to do this |
would be political blunder, IL not political
crime. Hence we call to ask If you have |
done what is charged against you.
