The members of the Ohio Legislature
as well as the candidates for executive
positions are all here, today, partiei-
pating in the contest previous to the
caucuses, tomorrow evening. when
nominations are to be made for the or
ganization of the Legislature, Monday.
But the wires are still kept busy be-
tween Republican leaders and Senators
Foraker in Cincinnati and Hanna in
Washington. While both Ohio senators
have become directly involved in the
contest through the direct interest of
their respective followers, it developed,
today, that the lines are not strictly
dawn between their friends. Many
members concur with George b. Cox
Of Cincinnati, in stating that this fight
is not one for the supremacy of either
Foraker or Hanna in Ohio and that
they are equally cordial relations with
both senators. Some of Hanna's clos
est friends are for Price and some of
Foraker's for McKinnon for Speaker,
for personal. local or other than fac
tional reasons
The lines are much more distinctly
drawn between what are known as the
Coz n 4 nd the Daugherty men. Two

offering the young men to the young
ladies' according to the liberality of their
bids. Each purchase was accompanied
by guarantee that the property should
| have a new pair of teeth, good wig,
shoes to fit, etc. The jollity was great
as each young lady bore away her trophy
from the stand.
Afterwards refreshments were served.
According to the sentiment of the
guests there never was experienced a
more enjoyable time
