The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1898-01-07

secured choice seats IN advance in
tho Legislative halls, awaiting the
arrival Of the anti Hannaists and the
most elaborate floral designs were
on hand for the occasion.
The feeling OF tho republican
members who voted for their caucus
nominees is openly expressed
against GoverhorBushneli more than
against Mr.. Kurtz or other republi-
cans who combined with The demo
Gratis.
The State Jo>,.nal, the republican
organ Of Central Ohio, prints a largo
picture Of Governor Bushnell, with
heavy black borders. Some republi-
can clubs have cancelled their en-
gagement OF quarters here for the
inauguration exercises next Monday,
and many protests arc being received
at the state house. Col. T. w.
Moore of Marietta, another appoin-
tee Of Governor Bushnell, today re.
signed as trustee Of tho state insane
asylum at Athens.
FEELING OF REyENaE.
The feeling of revenge was shown
even in the routine Legislative pro-
ceedings. Representative Brambloy,
of Cleveland, introduced bill to re-
peal tho fifty year franchise law for
street railways, in which Senator
Hanna is largely interested. Bran
ley is contractor who has large
contracts under tho municipal ad-
minlstration Of Mayor McKisson
and other members from Cleveland,
who are supporting Hanna, are said
to have measures ready for changes
and Investigations at Cleveland that
would affect Brambloy.
Representative Jones Of Stark
county, republican who is opposing
Hanna, has been frequently reminded
that the county convention that nom
mated him adopted strong resolutions
instructing him to support Hanna.
Mr.. Jones was chairman Of tho com
mittee on resolutions in that county
convention and declared himself then
for Hanna. To-day Mr. Jones offered
very strong Cuban resolution, that
is in conflict with Senator Hanna's
vote on the Cuban question in the
senate.
Representative Scott, Of Fulton
county, who voted with "the COM
bine" to-day and who is opposing
Senator Hanna, was also instructed
by resolutions at the county conven-
ton.
BOTH sIDEs CONFIDENT.
both SIDES are spending the night
in close conferences. All the changes
that are being sought are anticipated
from reports. It is conceded that
Senator Burke, ono of tho republi.
can senator's from Cleveland, who
has not yet appeared, will bo hero
to vote against Hanna. His attorney
today presented his certificate of
election to Lieutenant Governor Jones
just before the senate convented.
The senate will cast II votes for
Hanna and 10 against him. If Hanna
is DO stronger in tho house than the
Boxwell ticket was today when Box
we'll received So votes and Mason Sc
for speaker, thon Senator Hanna
would have only 70 votes on Joint
ballot, and 73 arc necessary to elect.
Notwithstanding the results Of the
organizations Of both houses, both
sides seem equally confident in
claiming tho senatorahip on joint
ballot.
The senate stands I8 democrats
and IL republicans. With party limos
drawn in tho senate, Lieutenant
Gov. Jones republican, would have
had tho ito vote to cast, and he had
been considered as opposed to Hanna.
The house stands 81 republicans
and AZ democrats, the formor in
Guiding four fusionists from Gin.
