Greatest Game In Years Ended Without Aid of the Police, and Hanna Declaring Allegiance to the Men
 Who Run the "Bank."

Columbus, O., Jan. lZ.-MarcuS A. Hanna was elected to represent Ohio in the senate for seven years and two months.
 Less than two years ago Senator Hanna entered politics in advocating William Me Kinley's candidacy for the presidency. He was successful the leader of the Mo Kinley forces at the St. Louis convention and afterward as chairman of the national committed For almost year he has been in the senate as the successor of John Sher- man. During his short service in public life Senator Hanna has participated in hard fighting, but he never before won such a victory as that of today Fractional fighting has waged among Ohio republicans for years. Others had been fighting under cover. Hanna came out openly at the state con- vention at Toledo last June and defeated Charles L. Kurtz, the close friend of Sem ator Foraker, Gov. Bushnell and others, for chairman of the state committee and has had factional war on himself ever since.
 Opposition Dying Hard.
 Although MT. Hanna was duly declared senator at noon today for both the long and short terms, yet the opposition continued its fight in the afternoon, and are still fight ing tonight.
 fTeVlOuS tO tue JOlut DdliOllilS touiy thc opposition offered to support Senator Dodge of Cleveland for the short term and Mc- Kisson for the long term. Senator Dodge is a neighbor of Senator Hanna in Cleveland and was nominated and elected on pledges for Hanna. Senator Dodge stated that the senators and representatives from Cleve- land were instructed for Hanna and indig- nantly rejected the proposition. The prop ole do to Trc m was equally as indignant as her husband. The opposition today knew they were de- feated before the joint balloting began, ? but fought to the last on the charges of bribery and coercion. In the joint ballot ing today there were no changes whatever by the senators over their ballots of yes- terday for the long and short terms Mc- Kisson received 19 votes and Hanna IT, When the roll of the house was called it resulted in the ballots for both the terms as follows: Hanna, 56; McKisson, 51 /; Lentz 1, and one absent (Cramer).
 The joint ballots for both terms resulted as follows: Hanna, 7s; McKisson, 70: Lentz, l; absent, (Cramer).
 Hanna's Majority Was Three.
 The official declaration showed that Hanna had a majority of three over Me Kisson, of two over all voting and of one over all the members in the general as- sembly. The demonstrations in the hall were unusually enthusiastic. Gov. .Bush- nell and some other state officers were not present. When Foraker was elected on the joint ballots in the same hall two years ago, Mckinley and Bushnell were both present, the one having just retired and the other having just been inaugurated as governor. It has been customary in former years for the governor to be seated beside the lieutenant governor when the newly elected senator was escorted into the hail. Senator Hanna was very busily engaged in his contest last Monday and did not par ticpate in the inauguration exercises. It Is stated that invitation special ar engagement had been made for him on that occasion and that the same was true garding the governor today.
 Mark Got His Commission.
 Col. J. L. Rogers, the secretary to the governor, came to the Neil house at p. m., bearing the commission of Senator Hanna as senator for the short term. Senator Hanna, accompanied by a number of his adherents, repaired to the ladies' parlor, where Col. Rogers presented the commits sion to Senator in neat speech.
 Senator Hanna, in reply, said: Colonel Rogers, I thank you and appreciate this, and I give back to the state my pledge that will execute the power given me to the fullest extent of my ability, and will do my best to serve the interests of all people of my state.'
