The people of 81 of the So counties de-
clared In conventions assembled their
desire that he he elected senator by this
general assembly which has been today
organized. and the state convention SO
declared unanimously. In view OF these
facts and of the general expression OF
public opinion since the election 1t Is
felt that the election of today should not
and cannot be construed as having any
relation to the senatorial question. This
matter must be decided by the repub-
.lican members of the general assembly,
who are pledged, both by the action of
the people they represent and by their
own statements and acts to his support.
The election Of Mr.. Hanna was made a
direct issue, not only before the state and
county conventions, but In the election
last November, in which his name and
candidacy was the leading issue.
That these conditions are recognized
by republican members generally is
shown by the fact that already several
of the men who today voted against the
nominees of the republican ~organiza-'
ton caucus rave voluntarily stated that
they intend to vote for Mr.. Hanna and
that they have from the first considered
the question of his election as having no
relation to OF bearing upon the mere or
enriization Of the house. In the selection
OF officers of that body questions entire
~ different from those relating to the
representation of Ohio in the United
States nat were considered. and the
action Of each member was based upon
these individual and local consldera-
ions and questions. In the case of the
s%enatorship the instruction Of the
ty conventions, the state convention and
the people themselves in the election
were almost unanimous that he should
receive the votes Of the members of his
party when they are called upon to per-
form this special feature of the duties
for which they We're elected. 1t Is not
considered possible that any republican
in the Ohio legislature will be willing to
pursue a curse whiGo would result in
the substitution in the United States
senate of a supporter Of the dangerous
doctrines upon which the democratic
party basedsits campaign of 1896 for the
man who led the republicans to victory
against that party and those principles,
especially as that action would result
In turning owe to the democracy and
the friends of free silver the control Of
the senate during at least one-half. If
not all, of the term Of Ohio's republican
president, William Mckinley"
