ADJOURNS UNTIL
NEXT MONDAY.
HANNA IN BAD STRAITS
The Opposing Republicans Declare
They Will Never Vote for Him
and That They Will Never Sup
port Democrat-Outlook Now In
dicates a Prolonged Deadlock.

Columbus, Jan. 6.-Both branches
OF the legislature have adjourned till
Monday. Both sides OF the senator
1al contest remain in conferences
daily and nightly at their respectiv e
headquarters. The suspense and Sc
creC work will continue till next
tuesday when the TWO branches OF
the legislature VIII vote separately
tor senator and the rool-caIls Will
made. The dOuDt1M members MADE
no nops Wednesday. They are stllI
uOubIluI and are receiving Une united
and untiring attention or the legis-
latIve steering committee and OUTSIDE
workers. Next Monday Governor
bushnell will be inaugurated for his
second term, but the exercises will
not interfere with the senatorial fight.
Although many republican clubs can
celled their engagements for quarters
on inauguration day, it is believed
that the efforts OF the anti-Hanna
republicans to have as big a demon
stration as usual will succeed. The
Hanna men will also take advantage
Oh the excursion rates to have visiting
republican delegations here on that
day to protest against the combine"
with the democrats. Some apprehend
serious disturbances on Monday. 1t
is expected that the deadlock will not
begin till next Wednesday when the
two house ballot jointly for senator
and continue to ballot jointly from
day to day till there is an election.
Letters and kilograms from protest
ing republican clubs and committees
anu others continue TO pour In from
the counties on the governor and the
republican members who are COOP
Grating with the democrats and some
of those messages and missives APP
peal to Senator Foraker to come to
the relief OF the party by declaring 1t
to be the duty OF all republicans to
stand by the decree of the Toledo
state convention in supporting Han
ma. In replying to the reports about
tary Day, Congressman Grosvenor
and others being made the republican
senatorial nominee, Hanna said pos
itively that he would never retire. He
says that he was nominated by the
Cleveland convention and cannot re-
tire in favor of anyone If he is de-
feated the responsibility will rest on
those who are now cooperating with
the democrats. The standing COM
mittees have not been announced IN
either house and the combine is
Using it's patronage to hold it's men IN
line. The republicans announced
Tuesday that they would hold no
Joint senatorial caucus last might ana
the democratic members made the
same announcement yesterday. Inc
anti-Hanna republicans will have no
caucus so there will be no test OF
strength till next Tuesday. While
the Hanna men are still short three
or more votes ON the current claims
of both sides, yet the combine is
having trouble in fixing on some one
who can command all of the demo-
cratic votes, as we'll as those OF the
dissenting republicans. Lewis U.
Bernard, the democratic leader from
Cincinnati and manager for john II.
Mclean, said last might that there
will be no election for a long series OF
ballots. The democrats will scatter
their votes. This is taken to mean
that the democrats will not be able 10
agree in their caucus on a candldaUe.
II he anti-Hanna republicans announce
positively that under no circumstances
will they vote for democrat.
They will continue the deadlock In
definitely rather than elect demo
cratic senator.
-FOUR TIMES SENTENCED.
