0HI0'S SENSA ATI0NAL SENATORIAL STRUGGLE
 AND GOVERNOR BUSHNELLS INAUGIJRAT TON.

1 for Hanna. The crowds and the ex- | citement SurpaSs any of the usual con- VentiOn scenes.
 Colonel T. c. Campbell, Jerry P. | Bliss and others opposing Hanna ar rived with Representative John C. Otis from Cincinnati tonight. Several | thousand words of Senatorial matter was soon after given out to members of the press about the offers of bribery to Representative Otis It was pre- pared by Colonel Campbell, and makes two pages on a late extra edition that was gotten out during the night by the Evening Press, the organ of the ant-Hanna combine.
 A summary of the long story, ac- cording to Colonel Campbelrs state ment, is that Henry N. Boyce of New York and formerly of Los Angeles Cal, called on Colonel Campbell last Friday at the latter's office in Cincin- natl and offered Campbell SIG. 900 for a Tee to get Representative Otis to vote Tor Hanna. Campbell and Otis had frequent meetings with Boyce, who cIalmed to be representing J. Pierpont Morgan and others who have interests m Ohlo that might be affected bv leg station Tn Ohio. Colonel Campbell and representative Otis say they deter mined to give Boyce all the latitude he wanted and set trap to catch him.
 i1oilenpeck, who was said to be the HlluuIe-man, was also taken into their counsel, according to the statements. campbell and Otis say the money was produced and that they are holding if III III rust ana that statement accord lngiy will be made in the House to- morrow N rolioWlng the publication of this statement tonight a statement was gwen out at the Hanna headouarters In which they say:
 The charge that Representative Otis mas mas been offered a bribe by a representa- Ne IiNe or Hanna is denounced at Senator ffannaS Headquarters as not only false III III every particular, but characteristic of th thhe campaign of tricks ane treachery tndt hurtz, Myers and their associates nave carried on ever since the senatorial question came up. It has been known to ere. e,.e inepupncan managers for a consid- SI laple tune that this stage play for eff feet was contemplated It is known posi- IIlFeIy that Allen O. Myers said several uays ago that he expected to see some !tIehoer rise Tn his place on the day of the first senatorial ballot and produce Sooeo or SlO,00O which he would state had Seen given him as bribe to vote for made a week or more ago, but it is now asserted that the proposition upon which IL Is intended to build this stage effect was made to Representative Otis only three days since. The fact that the an nouncement of a programme of this sort was made long before the day on which It Is now charged that the incident took place, shows clearly that the whole story IS prearranged one and simply manu- factured by Myers and his associates for e1ect. There is not, say MT. Hanna $ IrlendS ana managers, one single word of truth Tn these statements.
 It Is also known that a New York news paper which has fought Mir. Hanna vii clouSly from the time that he assumed charge of the national campaign in 1896 dispatched mysterious messenger to Ohio recently with large sums of money and 1t is not improbable that numerous other bribery fakes will be sprung upon the public from day to day in the effort to play to finish the desperate game begun months ago.
 MT. Hanna's friends hold in their hands absolute evidence that offers of bribes were made to Republicans by men com ing direct from Bliss and Kurtz and know the value of them too well to be afraid to show their hand before they are ready to make use of them. .
 MT. Hollenbeck. about whose visit to Cincinnati a vast amount of mystery is assumed by the originators of this fairy story, was out of the city when the pub licatton made its appearance tonight and could not be reached by wire, but a full denial as relates to himself will be forth coming as soon as the statements reach him.
 The opposition insist that Hollen- beck has fled to escape arrest. Such a statement is published regarding Hol- lenbeck, while nothing can be learned here of the wherea bouts tonight of Boyce.
