Harmony within the ranks of the re-
Of practically all members. The legis-
lators are anxious to abandon faction
al differences. and they contend that
in anticipating in general republican
caucuses. as they did yesterday, that
they have taken the first big step to-
ward the union OF the forces within
the party in this state.
That L. b. Hanna. as governor Of
the state. Is presented with a splendid
opportunity to continue the spirit of
the movement. and that upon him de-
pends the maintainance of satisfactory
relations between the two republican
factions. Is the opinion of practically
all members. He has 1t within his
power to either continue the factionai
conflict. through the appointments
which he will make. or he can, by
the same means. bring about a general
feeling Of satisfaction all along the
line that will be reflected In the re-
storation of the usual republican mn.
jority In the election two years hence.
