COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 12--The factionaI
warfare against Senator Hanna is not
over. 1t will have at least one more
day Of charges and counter charges
The tight was never more bitter than
last night Senator Hanna received
g votes yesterday, a majority of one
over all in total membership Of 1O9.
The senate voted 10 for McKissOn and
IL for Hanna The house vote stood:
Hanna, So; McKissOn, 40; Wiley, 1;
Warner, 1; Lentz, I, and one absent
The only absentee was Representative
Cramers the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS mem
Der from Paulding county, who is seri-
ously sick His physician stated last
night that he could not possibly be in
his seat to-day. After the vote was re-
eOrded~yesterday in each branch Of
the legislature separately, a majority
Of a quorum or Of those present is all
that is necessary IN the joint ballOting
today, 50 that the serious illness Of
Representative Cramer might become
an important factor.
The scattering vote yesterday for
Lentz, Wiley and Warner was east by
Representative Wiley, Hazlett and
Hess, all democrats. If Cramer had
been present and all the other demo
Gratis in line, McKissOn's vote would
have been So, or still three short OF
majority IN that branch Of the Iegis-
lature- With Hanna having a major
ity Of three in the house, McKissOn
having a majority Of two IN the senate,
the chair viii announce to-day that
there was no election yesterday, and
that joint ballot will be In order. As
soon as the two bodies meet in Joint
session at noon to-day their respective
journals Of yesterday viii be read, and
the lieutenant governor viii make the
usual official declaration
If all the senators and representa-
tiTes are recorded on the joint ballot
to-day as they were recorded yesterday
on the respective ballots, Senator Han
na VIII have a majority OF only one
over all But IN the absence Of Repre-
sentative Cramer, and by some Of the
democrats refusing to vote for Mayor
MckissOn, he is likely to have a larger
majority Of record on the journal of
the Joint convention With the result
apparently hanging on the change of
only one vote, the contest has cOntin-
ued all night, the same as it has been
going on here other nights for the past
two weeks
Mayor BIcKissOn, Of Cleveland, was
IN conference during the evening with
the opposition, and it was declared
very emphatically BY their leaders that
the fight had not by any means been
lost, and that they would again rally
their forces in the joint ballot to-day
70 a sufficient degree to win the battle.
The democratic members Of the leg
islature held another conference last
night, at which Judge Dirty, a mem
Der Of the fusion steering committee,
reported that Kurtz had promised two
more republican votes on the joint bal
lot to-day. notwithstanding this re-
port, it was impossible to get the three
democrats, who voted against McKis-
son yesterday, to pledge themselves
for him to-day. Several other demo
cratic members refused to attend the
conference, although they were re-
peatedly sent for. After repeated
efforts to get all the democrats to vote
with the six dissenting republicans,
and failure to do so, the conference
adjourned until this morning.
The democratic steering committee
OF the fusiOnists last night issued the
following manifestO:
To the Public:
Marcus a Hanna wiz not be elected BY this
legislature
