COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 1O.-The Governor OF
Ohio has had q gloomy day for his second In
auRuration. The Gubornatorial procession was
almost exclusively musical, military and Of
fetal. The State militia, o battery of United
States artillery and q few brass bands, with n
delegation Of his employees FROM the Governors
town, made M the show. Only a few common
civilians had anything to do with II. The Gov
crnor did not ride abroad, though he is a bo-
witching horseman, but occupied tho reviewing
stand. There was a great multitude on tho side
walks and in the windows and covering the
open spaces about the public square, and tho
proceedings wcro docorous.
There was an incident in the House before tho
procession moved that Is illustrative. Special
badges are issued to members to wear in these
biennial festivities. About forty OF them were
thrown into tho fire through sensitivoness. The
Republican delegations from many counties ar
irving to attend the indignation meeting In tho
Auditorium this afternoon began to appear
carly. The thrill OF music. tho tramp Of tho boys
parading. adorned with badges, singing and
shouting. the grand marches through the lobby
OF the Neil House going to SEQ Hanna and
coming away made a great stir. Tho professions

added an extraordinary element of interest. Tho
red badges were thick as leaves turned scarlet
in an oak wood In autumn. The Bushnell
badge seemed to be blue. There were many
white badges, too. worn by the Hanna boys. So
there were the red, white. and blue. 1t was
considered a success that nothing disagreeablo
happened.
1t is not believed that Gov. Bushnell will DO

row. To a superficial view the combination
against Hanna IL In confusion. It has bcen
general expectation for several days that
Charles Kurtz would be tho real candidate for
the combination. Allen o. Myers. his Demo-
cratic partner, was alert enough to say when
this was mentioned in his hearing:
Then what's the matter with me for the
short term, IL Charlie gets the long onef"
This inquiry seemed to grow serious as it was
considered. However, 1t was said that the re-
suit OF the midnight caucus would DO the nomi-
| nation OF McKisson. Mayor OF Cleveland, for
both terms. The reason given was that he con
fronted Hanna in his own town, and was the
| only man who could hold to the end for tho
combine, the disaffected Cleveland members.
This came from q source where one should OK
