SOLE TOPIC AT THE CAPITOL
Senator's and Representatives on the
Ohio Cautus Result.


Ohio Caurus Result.
The action of the Legislature in prac-
tically electing Mr.. Hanna was the sub
ject of much discussion in the Senate.
Naturally the Republicans were de-
lighted at the result of what proIS sed
TO be at least d deadlock. and even
those who are not warmly attached to
Mr.. Hanna personally We're glad that
a Republican, was returned. Democrats
declined. as a rule, to discuss the sub
ject. They did not care to criticise
their colleague. nor did they wish TO
enter into fulsome praise. Among
members the following are some of the
expressions of opinion:
Ex-Governor and eX-RepresentatiVe
McCreary, of Kentucky, said: The
Republicans always We're better han Is
al getting together than us Democra -
and they have pulled Hanna out of n
pretty tight hole. l wanted to see him
defeated, but / think his election viii he
3 good thing for the Democratic party
Representative Fenton: 1t is just rs
i have expected. Organization must
be maintained.
Representative Shattuc: / am glad
OF Hannas election. The result to-day
is the best for all concerned
Senator Cullom, of Illinois; I have
always had very friendly feeling for
Mr.. Hanna, and am glad to know that
he has triumphed in this fight. To
have done anything else would have
been the grossest treachery. ] do not
countenance bolting. and when the ma
jority Of the party have spoken, the
minority ought to abide by its action
Senator CaffeTy. of Louisiana: [ ex-
pected this result. Mr.. Hanna was in
dorsed by the convention and was the
issue i'm the State. If men are to be
honoraby bound by the duly consti-
tuted bodies of their parties. Mr.
Hanna ought to have been elected
That is the political view of the case.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming: / am
glad Of this result Mr.. Hanna was
entitled To the votes Of every Republi-
can in the legislature. 1 consider Re
publicans elected to the legislature un-
der distinct pledges as identical with
men Who are elected as presidential
electors. and the betrayal of one trust
is no less infamous than the betrayal
of the other.
Senator Shoup, of Idaho: 1t is the
only thing that could or should have
been done. Mr.. Hanna was entitled to
it. he deserved il, and no other result
would have been satisfactory to the
Republicans Of the country.
Senator Platt, of New York: You

for a silver Republican If he is given
chance. That is to say, Droste and
Lane are to be given the chance, of die
tating the election of "A United states
Senator for Ohio for the next seven
years if they desire. They are supposed
to repeat the action of Senator Val
entine in the Senate, who refused TO
give his vote to the combine for the
reason that the candidates of the eau
Gus did not suit him. He was allowed
to name his candidate, which destroyed
the entire slate
AT combine headquarters tonight the
Seniors and Representatives are IN ses-
sion. with a view of settling upon a
course of action tomorrow. The con-
stitution provides that the two Houses
must meet tomorrow and ballot. The
combine does not wish to meet. They
are sparfing FOR time. AT Hanna head
quarters there is a feeling that the
fight is over, and that only formalities
are to be observed tomorrow.
The Hanna headquarters have been
crowded since the ballot was taken by
delegates calling to congratulate him.
IT is understood tonight that Mr. kurtz

ber of the National Republican Com
mittee. and there is no doubt that IT
viii be very promptly accepted
Senator Hanna has received consrat-
ulatory kilograms from all parts of the
country. one Of which is said 10 be from
President Mckinley.
1t was the inordinate selfishness OF
the Republican voters that led to the
downfall of the combine. This is ac-
cording 10 the statement of Col Ger
rard- who says:
we went into the caucus and made
fight against the selection of gold Re
publicans. We told them they could
have our support if they selected any
well-knoMn silver Democrat or silver
Republican men who could not be
questioned in their views toward sill
Yer. men who were honest and square.
They refused. either than to name three
or four Republicans who were unsat-
isfactory. Then We compromised and
agreed To let them have the long term,
if they would give US the short term,
thinking. Of course that half a loaf IS
better than none Again they refused
us evidently thinking the men would
vote for anyone rather than Mr..
Hanna"
it was learned at a late hour to-
night that Mr.. Gerard had been ap-
pealed to by long distance telephone to
return 10 Columbus He had been as
sured that he win be allowed to name
the combine candidate TO be voted for
iE joint session tomorrow, if he can IN
duce his colleagues TO vote against
Hanna.
After the caucus of the combine
members tonight an adjournment was
taken until o'clock tomorrow. The
claim given out is that two members
from Cuyahoga county. who to-day
voted for Hanna, will tomorrow vote
fer the combine candidate, whoever
that may be. Ii is also claimed that
the three Democrats who refused TO
vote for McKisson to-day have been
whipped into line.
1t was decided at the caucus tonight
to push the bribery investigation at to-
morrow's session. The bolting Repub-
lican members are out in a statement
demanding that these charges should
be probed to the bottom before a Sena-
tor is elected.
