COLUMBUS, o, Jan. 5.-The Sena.
torial contest became more bitter to-day

that secret compacts are being made
that " i'll not become known until the
votes of members are recorded. The
situation to-day is the same as after the
caucuses of Saturday night and the or.
gauiGation of the legislature on Monday.
1t is the conceusus of opinion that
Hanna is short three votes and that the
opposition was becoming more concen-
trated Cd Kurtz for the short term
and Bushnell for the lorg term.
At the rooms OF the democratic managers
kilograms have been received from ex-senator
6rice advising the democratic members to
vots for democrat for o. S. Senator and not
become en- attachment to the boiling republic
cans on national issues.
Tho reports about Brice taking part caused
the democratic steering committee to talk

circulation, and as means of retaining
for his party the labor vote, which
elected Mr.. Mckinley, he now says ;
"The unanimous vote of organized labor
in both America and Europe is against
gold monometallism and in favor of the
restoratiok OF silver to its old place as
standard money, and that all repubE-
cans should. fight to retain the green
backs and get rid OF the slavery OF the
gold men who are trying to drive out
of use the silver money OF the wage
earners of the world" But this same
Mr.. Chandler, little more than a year
ago, was scratching and cla~ing to elect
as President the candidate of the gold
men aud of those who supplied the
money with which hia election was
