Hanna Says Positively That He VIII
Never Retire.

Columbus, o., Jan. 5.-Both branches
OF the legislature have adjourned TIL
Monday. But both sides Of the senate
rial contest will continue to hold con-
ferences daily and nightly at the Neil
house and the Great Southern hotel, re-
spectively. The secret work will con-
tinue till next Tuesday when the two
branches Of the legislature will vote
separately for senator The doubtful
members made no flops to-day. They
are receiving the united and untiring
attention of the legislature steering
committees and outside workers. Next
Monday Governor Bushnell will be in
augurated for his second term, but the
exercises will not interfere with the
senatorial fight. The anti-Hanna re-
publicans expect all of their followers
here Monday for large demonstration.
Although many republican clubs have
cancelled their engagements for quar-
ters on Inauguration day it is believed
that the efforts of the anti Hanna re-
puhlicans to have a big demonstration
will succeed. The Hanna men will also
take advantage OF the excursion rates
to have republican delegations here to
protest against the combine with demo-
Gratis. The expected deadlock will not
begin till next Wednesday, when the
two houses will ballot jointly for SEN
ator and will continue to ballot joint
ly from day to day till there is an elec-
ton. Letters and kilograms from pro-
testing republican clubs and committees
and others are pouring in upon the re-
publican members who are cooperating
with the democrats, declaring it their
belief to stand by the decree of the
| Toledo convention.
| In reply to the reports about Secre-
| tary Sherman and others being made
| the republican senatorial nominee, Sen
ator Hanna said positively to-day that
| he would never retire. He said he was
nominated by the Toledo convention for
| senator and could not retire in favor OF
any one. If he was defeated the re-
! sponsibility would rest upon those who
are now cooperating with the demo-
Gratis. The senator insisted that he
would win. The standing committees
| have not been announced in either
house, and the combine" is using the
| patronage to hold its men in line. In
the senate to-day Mr.. Burke showed
some tendency to cooperate with his
| republican colleagues. Later Senator
| Burke was in conference with Senator
| Hanna and spent most of his time with
l the Hanna workers.
/ /. The republicans announced yesterday
| that they would hold no joint caucus
| and the democrats made the same an.
nouncenient to-day. The anti-Hanna
republicans will hold no caucus. While
i the Hanna men are still short three OF
more votes on the current claims Of
both Sides yet the Combine" is having
4 its troubles in fixing on some one who
4 can command all the democratic votes
| as we'll as those of the anti-Hanna re,
| publicans.
| Lewis G. Bernard, the democratic
leader from Cincinnati, and the man
ager for John r. Mclean, said tonight
| There viii be no election for a long
series of ballots. The democrats viii
scatter their votes" This is taken tt
mean that the democrats will not bt
able to agree in their caucus on can.
