~~~~-~-~~--~-~~~~--~ ~--~~~-----------~--- Hamilton, were cast for Hanna, was tre mendous. Representative Otis desired to explain his vote, but was shut off under the rules and the balloting went on with cheers in the gallery for Hanna.
 When the result of the ballot was an- nounced Hanna, 56; McKisson, 49; War ner, 1; Wiley, l; Leptz, 1, there was con- siderable stir on the democratic side. Speaker Mason announced that Marcus A. Hanna, having received a majority of the votes of the house, was the choice of that body for the short term. The cheering out side the halls for Hanna was echoed in the ears of members as the results were an- nounced
 The ballot was then taken for the long term, and it resulted the same, and it's an nouncement was greeted with another long and loud demonstration.
 At 12:15 the house adjourned, and the hall was used for a publication meeting, with the crowds singing, Praise God, from whom all blessings flow"
 The Battle in the Senate.
 The senate chamber was crowded to its limit when at Il o'clock the first move in the great senatorial contest was made. The report of the committee fixing that hour as the time for taking the ballot had been adopted some time before, and this knowl- edge getting outside, the public crowded in. When the lieutenant-governor rapped for order and announced that the balloting for a United States senator was now under consideration, perfect quiet immediately reigned. Not a sound was heard. The people realized that the beginning of the end had come, and that within few min utes the vote that would largely determine who would be the next senator would come. Every senator was in his seat to record his action. At the side of many sat ladies and friends whom they had brought in.
 It was just Il o'clock when Senator Sul- livan arose to nominate Senator Hanna. During the delivery of the address it was a somewhat remarkable scene. The sem ators sat perfectly quiet, facing the speak CT. Crowded into the hall were several hun dred people, taking up every possible foot of space, and yet not a sound could be heard save the words of the speaking sena- tor.
 Stood and Proclaimed Their Choice.
 As Senator Burke pronounced the name of Mir. McKisson there was a perfect si- lence. though some feeling could be plainly seen in the faces of the audience Senator Wolcott of Cleveland immediately seconded the nomination of Senator Hanna The nomination of Mayor McKisson was sec onded by Senator Finck. Lieut.-Gov. Jones then announced the ballot would be taken by the senators rising in their seats and naming their choice.
 Two votes were taken, one for the short and one for the long term. The short term was voted for first. The vote for the short term resulted:
 For McKisson-Broren, Burke, Cohen. Bromley, Decker, Doty, Finck, Harper, Jones, Kennon, Leet, Long, Miller, Mitchell, Nichols, Pugh, Robertson, Schafer Valen- tine. Total, 19.
 For Hanna-Alexander, Blake, Cable, Car penter, Crandall, Dodge, Garfield, Lutz, May, Hummer, Riley, Sheppard, Sullivan, voight, Wightman, Williams, Wolcott. Total, IF.
 Senator Burke of Cleveland was the only republican in the senate who did not vote for Hanna. Senator Voight, the fusionist from Cincinnati, voted for Hanna, as did all the fusion republicans from Hamilton ex- cept Otis, who did not produce the dramatic scene that had been announced and had been expected.
 Hanna Got Second Money in Senate.
 The vote in the senate for the long term stood 19 for McKisson and F for Hanna, the same as on the ballot for the short term. With the r in the senate and the 56 in the house Hanna got just the requisite 73 for his election.
 A remarkable scene took place in the senate chamber when the vote in the house was announced. The republican senators, inspired by the encouraging news, stood on their chairs and upon the floor and shouted themselves hoarse with calls for Hanna and victory. Nothing like it was ever seen in an Ohio senate chamber. What's the mat ter with Hanna?" they shouted, ard the call came back, Hes all riglt." l. was
