vote to be cast for him will deserve the censure of the next democratic convention for his miserable and selfish ambition.
 ''The democrat who refuses to agree upon an honorable republican the Foraker mem bers unanimously propose will in effect be casting at least half the weight and in- auence of his vote for Mark Hanna.
 'aThe democrat whose vote would elect Hanna's opponent will be friend CT 1ah- ma if he refuses to cast it"
 Changed Somewhat.
 The senatorial contest today changed somewhat. The anti-Ffanna combine IS on the defensive As 'tthe count or noses stands now with the steering committees, Senator Hanna is beaten. The opposition has a majority on joint ballot or three or four on concessions of republican mem hers who are supporting Hanna. The op- nosition claim from 6 to majority against Hanna and that they are steadily making accessions to their ranks. The opposition is kept busy defending it's ranks as the Hanna workers are after the douptlui members here constantly and are starting hot fires for some of them at their homes The republicans in some of the counues are aroused to intense indignation towards Governor Bushnell, the dissenting repuph- can members and others.
 The Republican Papers.
 The republican papers of Ohio are full of accounts of the proceedings and resolu- tions of republican committees, ciuos ana other organizations denouncing Governor Bushnell and the republican bolters.
 So far as his own and the efforts of his managers are concerned Senator Hanna would be beaten if a ballot was taken today. The organization against Hanna is the most compact and complete that was ever known in Ohio.
 The most important development today was a conference in favor of Jeptha Gar rard, of Cincinnati silver republican, as the man on whom the opposition will try to concentrate against Hanna. Some of the democrats refuse to vote for republi- cans like Bushnell, Kurtz, McKisson and others who have not been pronounced for free silver, but they have said they would vote for Garrard. These free silver demo- crats prefer Mclean to any other man and they tried to get up a compromise for Garrad for the short term and Mclean for the long term, but the republicans oppos- ing Hanna said they could not vote for a democratic senator.
 call was issued tonight by the republican state executive committee for a mass con vention of republicans to be held in this city next Monday afternoon to protest against the attempt to defeat Senator Hanna.
 A report was current tonight that tel egram had been received by the demo- Tal,,, D Tor questing that his name be kept out of the senatorial matter and urging the democrats to agree upon candidate for senator to defeat MT. Hanna. While there was no positive confirmation of this story, there were developments which led to the belief that it contained some truth. Last even ing the Press, a local democratic paper, contained an editorial advising the demo- cratic members to vote for democrat for senator Tonight the same paper reverses it's position editorially and advises the dem- ocratic members to vote for any republican to defeat Hanna. It is also known that influence is being brought to force all the democrats in line. A number of these mem bers have declared they would not vote for a republican, and if they persist in their attitude there will be a deadlock.
 The plan now of the anti-Hanna people is said now to be to force all the demo- crats into line and defeat MT. Hanna at the outset. They are entirely on the de- fensive now and it is claimed that long deadlock would weaken their position. There is no lack of confidence however, at the anti-Hanna headquarters, although the demands being made upon the bolting
