Agreed McINiSSon.
After being in conference all night, the
de emccratic causes agreed on Mayor Rob-
crt +. McKisson of Cleveland as the only
republican proposed whom they would
support for senator
The democratic caucuses were stormy
and long drawn out. 1t was found abso-
lute,y Impossible to agree upon either Gov
ernor Bushnell or Chas l.. Kurtz. Both
names were considered and both were given
up as impracticable candidates.
Then the name of Mayor Mckisson was
suggested. The democrats demanded to
know whether Mckisson was a free sill
yer man.
Not content with the assurance of Myers
and other leaders of the fusion, they sent
for Mckisson
When that gentleman appeared, he made
a speech TO the caucus, in which he said
in substance:
Gentlemen: Publicly and before the peo-
pie / am and must be republican. But 1
assure you and pledge you that if elected
to the United States Senate by this fusion
L will stand upon the Chicago platform"
This pledge was satisfactory and the
caucus declared for McKisson for both the
long and short terms.
State House Crowded.
At an early hour the state house was
crowded by those who were taking more
interests in the proceedings than in the
inaugural exercises of yesterday The
effort to keep out the noisy element by
having admission by ticket only were not
carried out, and there was free-for-all
rush for the galleries and the Hobbies. The
conference committee decided that the bal
loting should rot begin till the afternoon,
but the general public seemed to look on
this announcement as ruse to Keep the
crowds away. At any rate all available
space was taken up long before the legis-
lature convened. The curiosity seekers lis
tened patiently TO routine proceedings,
while the crowds that failed to gain adj
mission kept up the Gemonstra items that
had continued all night.
Those actively engaged in the senatorial
contest were up all night and continued
their conferences for further operations,
while the members were in their seats at
the state house. The continued activity at
the headquarters of both factions in the
hotels indicated that neither side expected
the contest to be ended today. AT any rate
they were evidently preparing for further
operations, if not for the long siege of 4
deadlock.
Charges and Counter Charges.
The popular interest in the proceedings
Of the day was shown for any further de-
selopments in the alleged bribery cases.
well as in the result of the balioting. Tho
morning papers were full Of charges and
counter charges about the offers CT money
to members of the legislature. 1t was
claimed that Representative John G. Otis
Of Cincinnati would make a sensational
statement on the floor of the house when

Henry NJ. Boyce of New York had been to
see him in Cincinnati ana also to see his
attorney, Col I. @. Campbell. and that
money had been turned over to them.
According to the announcements in the
morning papers. Mr.. Otis intended to place
this money on his desk and make such an
explanation regarding il would call for
an immediate investigation on the part OF
the legislature, If the name of Senator
Hanna should be presented, and especially

Senator Hanna express no fear whatever
