of Senator Farris. charged with bribery,
former Lieut. Gov. John A. Lee took the
stand to-day. He said he asked Farris to
help defeat the bill to repeal the law pro-
hibiting the use Of alum in baking pow
ders. Farris, witness testified, said it
could be easily done by holding the bill in
committee, but that the bill was an i'm
portant one to the Royal Baking Powder
Company, and the boys of the committee
needed money. He wanted $1,000, of which
$1,000 was to so to each of six members of
the committee on criminal Jurisprudence
of the Senate. and $1,000 to the senator
who ordered the bill. Lee arranged by tel
ephone and telegraph, ne said, with Daniel
J. Kelly to get the money. A check for
$500 was received by Lee and deposited
in the American Exchange of st. Louis.
The bill was defeated. and he drew but
$1,000 OF the money and gave 1t to Senator
Farris in his room at the Laclede Hotel.

Hanna and Herrick Congratulated.

CLEVELAND. Nov. 4-Many congrat-
ulatory kilograms have been received by
Senator Hanna from men prominent in pub
lie and private life in all sections of the
country. Among them is one from Presi-
dent Roosevelt warmly congratulating Sem
ator Hanna on the splendid victory in Ohio.
Governor-elect Herrick was also the recip-
lent of hundreds of similar kilograms.
John A. Clarke, Democratic candidate for
United States Senator to-day made the
following statement: 1.-The result is, to be
sure, surprising only in the increase of
the Republican majority. The increased
majority against the Democrats / attribute
to the fact that the aggressive campaign
waged by Mr.. johnson, with such aid as I
could render. resulted in creating an ac-
tivity on the part of the Republican or
ganization not equaled In recent years.
This brought out large increased Repubh-
can vote. while the Democratic vote was
not correspondingly increased because of
factions in southern and western Ohio
which were organized and led by ambitious
,and wealthy men. In Cuyahoga county all
of the men disappointed because not given
office united with those who were tried and
found wanting and dropped. and these under
skillful leadership, in my judgment, accom-
plished the result in this county. To these
factors should be added the adroit appeal
of Senator Hanna to the cupidity and
fears of the people which seems to have
prevailed. But after all, the Dutch have
effectively captured Holland

TALK OF POLITICIANS.
Hanna Might Have Presidential
Boom If He Consented.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 4.-The feature of
to-day has been the talk about Senator
Hanna for the presidency. The papers here
and elsewhere in Ohio TEEN with this gos-
sip, and some prominent Republicans go
far to offer wagers. They say that
this boom would spread to other States
but for Hanna himself who is most en-
phatic in his denials and refusals of such
use of his name. According TO precedent,
Governor-elect Herrick will be at the head
of the Ohio delegation to the next national
convention, and the two Ohio senators will
also be delegates at large. AS Herrick and
Hanna both reside at Cleveland, it IS stated
that Cincinnati, as the banner Republican
city," will likely have the other two dele
gates at large, in which event both George
b. Cox the Hamilton county leader and
Senator Foraker, ,of Cincinnati, will be
delegates at large.
The talk elsewhere about Herrick for
Vice President is regarded here as an at
tempt to stop the talk about Hanna for
President.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov 4.-Senator Han
na referring to the renewed suggestions
made in various quarters to the effect that
he is the logical Republican candidate for

the unprecedented victory won in Ohio at

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The commits

fcers and some twenty Indians, some Of

ton. Am assured by officers of this county
that no further trouble will occur
The Indian offices sympathize with the

mended by Mr.. Brennan.

TWELVE THOUSAND TROOPS OCCU-
PIED STREETS OF WIESBADEN,
While Hundreds of Police Watched
Behind the Lines as the Kaiser
and His Guest Rode BY.

WIESBADEN, Germany, Nov. 4.-About
1900 troops occupied the principal thor
oughfares of Wiesbaden to-day while
awaiting the arrivel of the Car, and some
hundreds of police mingled with the rather
small crowds behind the military lines Pre-
cautions for the safety of imperial visitors
are always, of course, extensive, but on this
occasion they seemed to be extraordinary.
The police forbade householders to stand
on their balconies or look out Of the WIN
dows above the ground floors. The streets
in the immediate vicinity Of the castle
were kept clear. Even veteran soldiers
who were TO take part in the reception Of
the Russian sovereign were not allowed In
these streets.
The Car and Emperor kissed each other
affectionately three times at the railway
station. The Czar then gave his hand to
Count Won Buelow and the Kaiser did the
same to Count Lamsdorff. AS the royal
guests left the depot they were cheered by
the crowd. The Emperor and the Gar
were in one carriage, while Chancellor Won
Buelow and Count Lamsdorff occupied an
other. At o'clock gala dinner was given
at the castle. Emperor William sat on
the right of the Car, to whose left sat
Count Won Buelow. Next to the Emperor
sat Count Lamsdorff. At o'clock the royal

Voters Feared Single Tax.

COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 4.-Secretary Rich
ardson, of the Democratic state committee,
said that the result, in his opinion, was due
to the fear of single tax and 2-cent fares.
"These two things cost the ticket thou
sands of votes all over the State. The
voters were afraid Of the 2-cent-fare prop
osition, and argued that to reduce the rail-
road fare would be to force a reduction in
the wages of the railroad workers.
The Ohio Anti-saloon League has for
years been trying to get ward local op-
ton law with provision for search and
seizure" and to-day issued an address to
the people that the Republicans now had
such an overwhelming majority in both
branches Of the General Assembly that the

manded.

members from the cities Republicans

Asserts the Senator Carried Ohio by

Continuance of Prosperity.
SAYS MUCH MONEY WAS USED
REPUBLICANS HAD A "BARL" AT
THEIR COMMAND, HE SAYS.
Many Congratulations for Hanna and
date for the Presidency.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 4-Tom L. John
son. the defeated Democratic candidate for
Governor of Ohio, tonight gave out the fol-
lowing statement relative to the election in
this State:
1.-The result in Ohio is due to several
causes, of which the chief was the success
full attempt of Senator Hanna to impress
upon the people of this State that con-
tnuance of undisturbed business conditions
demanded his return to the Senate.
IN the last few weeks of the campaign
the closing of mills and discharge of thou
sands of workmen, together with bank and
business failures throughout the country,
gave color to Senator Hanna's claim that
the campaign in Ohio involved national is
sues of more immediate Importance than
the betterment of our local conditions.
Il hope that Senator Hanna's statement
that his reelection will preserve the indus
trial and business situation from disturb
ance will be verified, and that confidence,
which he believes to be the basis of pros
perity, will be preserved.
1.-The Republican party in this campaign
used fund larger in amount than any
other similar fund in the history of state
politics. This compaign fund was fur
niShed by privileged interests throughout
the country, they not unnaturally feeling
that Senator Hanna was their national rep
resentatiye. The magnitude of this fund
enabled the Republican committee to give
the widest possible circulation to their
claims that business prosperity depended
upon Senator Hannas reelection.
1.-The principles Of the Democratic plat
form, while in some sense new, have pre-
vailed in this county when the public mind
was undisturbed by other considerations
and but for the reasons given above would
have been indorsed by the voters of the
State this year
1.-THE use of money on a tremendous scale
was expected. The unfamiiarty of a por-
tion of the people of the State with the prin-
ciples of the platform was understood. We
knew that the people of the State could
not be bought and were prepared to con-
vince them of the truth of our principles,
but that Senator Hanna's reelection could
be identified with the maintenance of busi-
ness prosperity and that the fear of the peo-
pie of return to hard times could success
fully be appealed to was not anticipated
and this more than anything else accounts
for the result.
''The ultimate success of the principles
of the Democratic platform is but post
poned by this defeat and / urge the people
of Ohio to begin now the campaign for the
election of the next Legislature, the selec-
ton of which will not involve the election
of a United States Senator or any other
national question, but which can be chosen
solely with reference to the question of
home rule and just taxation in which an
| overwhelming majority of the people of
| Ohio now believe.
