Outcome Next Monday.
RIVAL FACTIONS TO GATHER TEEN
Detail of $50 Extra Police Officers
Has Been Ordered.
FEELING EXTREMELY BITTER

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, January 1T is
feared that there will be trouble next
Monday when the friends Of Senator Han
ma will gather here by thousands in re-
sponse to the call issued by State Chair
man Nash. and the friends Of Governor
Bushnell and the anti-Hanna republicans
In general will be in the city in great
numbers to see the governor inauSurated
for his second term.
Political feeling is intense and the Hanna
and apti-Hanna factions have for the time
entirely obliterated the line that sepa-
rated the old political parties.
Talk of EgainE Bushnell.
Many have been heard to say that they
would egg Governor Bushnell if he appear
ed in an inaugural parade. Chief of Po-
lice Kelley issued orders today for $50
extra officers to be on duty on Monday
along the proposed line of march.
Citizens have suggested to Governor
Bushnell that it would be better under the
circumstances to declare all the ceremon-
les usually attending the Inauguration Off,
and to simply take the oath of office in the
rotunda of the state capitol, but his
friends urge that that would be looked
upon as act of cowartlice and a sur
render to Senator Hanna of the day set
apart by law and custom for the celebra-
tion of the opening of a new state adj
ministration- 1t is probable now that the
program will be carried out, but the pa
rade and all the usual demonstration will
be participated in by very few.
Allen o. Myers Circular.
The circular issued by Allen o. Myers
from the democratic state committee rooms
last night, in which ex-senator Brice ex-
Mayor ]. II. Farley of Cleveland and
other well-known democrats, who do not
advocate free silver, are referred TO as
traitors to the democratic party" and
declared to be in in deal with the Hanna
States Senate. has stirred up the gold
democrats so that the democrats are di-
vided as to the election of Senator Hanna
about as the republicans are. On the
great question there seems to be but two
parties here now, the Hanna and anti
Hanna parties
The calling of the state mass convention
OF republicans by Judge Nash seems to
show that the Hanna managers believe
they must overwhelm the nine republicans
who are still holding out against him, and
drive them into line by force of numbers
Ihe antl-Hanna members are still firm.
Kurtz Plans q Coup.
By AssOeiated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, January 1.-THE sit
uation, so far votes are concerned re-
mains unchanged. The air of the Kurtz
democratic managers, in their headquar-
tiers at the Great Southern. gives color to
the story that a sensational move of some
Kind may be expected to offset the call for
a republican state mass meeting here next
Monday The Kurtz party hope to agree
by tomorrow night, as reported. Upon a
nan for senator, but the indications are
for deadlock for short time a, least
Ine latest phase of the case is that the
two fusion silver republicans Of Cincinnati
Will, as claimed. vote for NJ. Hanna, pro-
Vlded they cannot get their silver republi-
can choice elected senator. In that event
Mr.. Hanna would still need some votes.
