O., Jan. 3.-Tho Hall Of Represent,
atives was the scene OF a drama this morning
witnessed by a largo crowd about equally
divided In sympathios and excited interest.
There were many anxious faces, for 1t was the
foeline that no ono could be sure OF the two or
three doubtful votes, sharply contested as they
were last night until long after mid
night. t 2 A.. II. q doubtful menu

Mat the combination had no chance at all for
I'll. great event unless they won to-day, and 30
those in 1t were wolfsh. A change Of two votes
would have given the Republicans instead Of
the combination the organization Of tho
House and insured the election Of Hanna to
the Senate. 1t was not possible, however. to

date for Speaker, six votes OF elected Repub-
Ncans that were for him as against Boxwell, tho
regular Republican nominee. There were In
this some of the alleged reform elements In
municipal government, and o feeling against
some OF the legislation Of the three Republican
Assemblies in succession, some OF which 10
popularity charged as favorable to monopolies.
This string was effectively pulled.
1t WINS a combination assertion that there
were two men who would vote for Boxwell and
would not vote for Hanna, but this story
credited for q time in the confusion. proves to
be o mistake. Mr.. Hanna has solid the fifty
three votes that appeared in tho House
caucus, nominated Boxwell for Speaker.
and voted for him, and there are six
men voting to-day for Mason, whose DECLARE
tions that they will DO for Hanna, az
a national matter, notwithstanding their
alteration In State politics, arc explicit and
held to be reliable. 1t is as positive as anything
can be In this atmosphere Of Astounding uncer-
tainties that there are Democrats who voted
for Mason who will not vote for Bushnell or any
professed Republican. 1t would be remarkable
II the difficulty Of getting Hanna votes solid for
the regular legislative slate should not appear in
Increased proportions when the combination
propose to deliver the Democratic votes for
some one outside their party lines.
Already there arc several names of Demo-
Gratis mentioned as likely to prove beneficiaries
ofthe disorgnnization in case Hanna should ulti-
mately be defeated. Among them are Brico and
Mclean. There is one Silver Republican who
proposes to nominate Mr.. Jeptha Garrard and
give HIM one vote, hoping something may como
