Hanna Worked a Slick Scheme
 on the People
LOTS OF DOODLE WAS USED
Republican Party Used a Fund Larger In Amount Than Any Other Similar Fund In the History of
 State Politics.

Cleveland, November 4,-Hon. Tom l. Johnson, the defeated democratic candi- date for governor of Ohio. tonight gave out the following statement:
 "rhe result In Ohio is due to several causes, of which the chief was the sue cessful attempt of Senator Hanna to im- press upon the people of this state that a continuance of undistqrbed bustess con- ditions demanded his return to the sen ate.
 Tn the last few weeks of the cam paign the closing of mills and the dis charge of thousands of workmen, to- gether with bank and business failures throughout the country gave color to Sem ator Hanna's claim that the campaign in Ohio involved national issues of more immediate importance than the better ment of our local conditions.
 "The republican party in this cam paign used fund larger in amount than any other similar fund in the history of state politics. This campaign fund WAS furnished by privileged interests through out the country, they not unnaturally feeling that Senator Hanna was their national representative. The magnitude of this fund enabled the republican com mittee to give the widest possible cir culation to their claim that business pros perity depended upon Senator Hanna's reelection.
 'rhe principles of the democratic plat form, while in some sense new, have prevailed in this county, when the pub lie mind was undisturbed by other con- alterations, and but for the reasons given above would have been endorsed by the voters of the state this year.
 '',fhe ultimate success of the principles of the democratic platform is but post poned by this defeat and l urge the people of Ohio to begin now the cam paign for the election of the next legis- lature, the selection of which will not involve the election of a United States senator or any other national question, but which can be chosen solely with ref erenee to the questions of home rule and just taxation, in which an overwhelming majority of the people of Ohio now be- lieVe.

LADY INJURED IN
 RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

Festive under the slow pace of the fu- neral procession two high spirited horses hitched to a carriage bearing the remains of the little infant child of MT. M. D. Smith, dashed down the side of Red Mountain at a terrific rate yesterday morning, running into a buggy occupied by Mrs E. J. and Miss Florence McCros- sin, who, when they saw that collision was unavoidable, jumped out of their vehicle. The jump came very near being fatal to Mrs. McCrossin. Just as she touched the ground the runaway team ran into the buggy, throwing Mrs. Mo- Crosisn's horse over on her, and breaking her leg and fracturing three of her ribs. Miss McCrossin escaped without any in- jures.
 The occupants of the runaway carriage were Mr. and Mrs. H. H. Huffstuttler and the Rev. z. A. Denly. MT. Huffstut- tier held the casket which contained the remains of the hild in his lap. Four or five carriages were in the procession which was en route to Elm Leaf ceme- tery, where the remains of the child who died Tuesday morning were to be inter- red.
 The horse started to run away several hundred feet above Avenue I and Twen- ty-sixth street, the place where the Me,
 
 lision didn't stop the horses that had by this time become thoroughly frightened but they kept their made pace down Twen- ty-sixth street to Avenue B, thence to Twenty-fifth street then to Twenty fourth street by Avenue A, thence to Twenty-fourth street and First avenue. They were stopped by a small negro boy. It seemed miracle that none of the occupants of the runaway carriage re- ceived Fatal injury. Mrs. Huffstuttler hau her arm slightly injured and was se- verely shocked, but the others came out without any scratches. The small casket was undisturbed.
 The horse of Captain McCrossin which had it's leg broken in the fall was shot on the spot
 Mrs. McCrossin was carried to St. Vim cents hospital, where she is reported as resting quietly.

The wound in the back of the mans
