At the cau cuses one week ago he was beaten: and he has been beaten ever since. But there are reliable reports Indicating that he has now the necessary seventy three votes. The Ilanra headquarters are Jubilant, and the opposition teems less confident. The opposition has de pended upon the following ten Repub ficans voting with the sixty-five Dem ocratic members of the legislature: Representatives Maon and Bramley of Cuyahogo, Jones of Stark, Griffith of Union, Otis of Hamilton, Scott of Ful ton, Redkey of Highland.

Represen tative Griffith of Union and Jone. of Stark are reported to have done the same thing at their homes. Ar.d there are like reports from Rutan of Carroll and Redkey of Highland.

While Representative Griffith is home with his constituents Mrs. Grif fith is here at the Great Southern ho tel, where the snti-IIanna men have their h?a;lqi:arters, and Is still with the opposition. The antl-Hanna men admit that after securing control of both branches of the legislature they mad? a great mistake in adjourning from Wednesday to Monday and having th? members go heme till Inaguratlon day. The'. Republican members who are co operating with the Democrats against Hanna were thus confronted with in dignation meetings at their homes, which are likely to turn the tide In fa vor of Senator Hanna. The opposition mrd? repeated and most persistent ef forts to get Senator Foraker to come here and that has been regarded as an indication that he was needad; but the senator from Ohio left Cincinnati for Washington without stopping at Co lumbus. The Two Great I'artorn. It Is reported that certain parties met the senator on the way or before his departure, but nothing definite Is known es to that matter. All efforts to get either Foraker or John R. McLean here have failed, and, withal, they are cred ited with being the two great factors in "the combine." The Republican fac tional fight !n Ohio began in 1S80, when ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster was governor and was blamed by the Sherman men with dividing the Ohio delegation and causing Garfield t.) be nominated in place of Sherman. At the St. Louis convention last June the old factional feeling was controlled by Iianna, who sacrificed everything else for McKlnley's nomination. Foraker presented McKlnley's name, was chair man of the Ohio delegation, of the com mittee cn resolutions, etc. And Charles L.
