HE WON HIS FIGHT.
Tbe Tote in the Ohio House Today
Sto d: 56 for Hanna 49 fr Mc
Kisson. In the Senate it Waa 17
for Hanna and 19 for McKiss n.
Columbus Ohio January 11. The
caucus of tbe antt-Hanna redublicars
and democrats arly thia morning-
elected Robert McKisson of Cleveland
for both the abort aid the loos' terms
for senator. Ho wa found to Be two
vetes stronger than Kurtz
for the nomination . which dem
ocrats and republicans at
onca endorsed. Mr. McKisson
in a speech before the joint meeting-
after he had been nominated announc
ed himself for free silver and if dem
ocrats and anti-Hanna republicans
stand together in tie vota on senattr
which wi 1 be taken in thi s piratj
brarches t day McKifon will he
elect' d and no -"'e in tt.e jjint session
will be n cessury.
The democr-tts say McKison will re
ceive 9 votes in the senate today and
54 in the houee. This is one vote short
of election. The vote which McKisson
is short is the Cincinnati fuiiooist
who insists upon voting; for Gerard. As
early as 8 o'clock there was a crush of
people on the outside of the house and
senate. The galleries and lobbies were
thrown open at 9 o'cloclc and were im-
mediately filled with men and women.
The FeDate was called to order at 10 a.
Senator Garfield presented the re
port of tbe committer to fix the time
for voting; for SRnBtor which was 11
o'clock and the report was agreed to.
The Hanna mn are out with a story
that Representative Snyder was offered
$5000 to vote against Hanna.
At 10::0 Jones democrat bad Dot
arrived and it was said he was pick.
The democrats reported he would eet
here In time to vote. Droste the Cin
cinnati fusionist has declared for Han-
na. A call of the house was demanded at
10:40 and all the members came in but
Cramer democia .-A motif n 'o r cvd
with business was voted down by the
Hanna people. Kinney-" democrat

ed that tbe charges of attempted brib-
ery of republican representative Otis
bv a'ler-d Hanna men be investigated
Tbe Hannaites attempted to shut him
off but the speaker declared that a

uestion of privilege took precedence.
The Hannaites then offerpd a resolu-
ion for a committee to investigate the
cha-ges at once and also the charges of
bribery involving other membe-s. Roll
call was demand" d to suspend tbe rules
nd plare the resolution on it passage.
This was defetd. At 11:30 Repre-
sentative Le'and nominated Hanna for
the United States ssca'e. The motion
was seconded by Smith. Bramily nom-
natPd McKisson. A vote was takon
and Hanna received 56 McKisson 49.
In the senate at 11 o clock aU were
present. Se. ator Sullivan nominated
Hanna as tbe nominee of the republi-
an party. The vote stood Hanna 17
McKisson 19.
This gives Hanna 75 votes on joint
ballot and insures his election tomor-
row. In the senate Noigbt fus'onist and
all republicans but Burke voted for Han-
a. wh'.le all democrat- and Burke sup-
por'ed McKisson. All republicans in
e hous voted for Hanna except
Masrn Bramley Jones Otis Scott
and Rutan. AU democrats voted for
McKisson except Hazele't Wyley and
Cramer the latter being ill was not
present.
Uanna will therenr go Into tne
joint session tomorrow if there are no
defections with ii votes a majority
of one on joint bsl'ot.
Th re are xio vote on joint ballot.
Out. of this number Hnna received to-
day 73: McKesson 68; scattering 3; with
one democrat absent.
The two houses will take a joint
ballet for senator Weduesday noon. In
casetheantis win one roan and Cramer
democrat who was absent today be
present Hanna would b one vo e
sh'rr. There would be dead-lock. The
refusal of the anti-Hanna republicans
to tke up Col Gerrard a silver re-
publican for the short term knocked
them out.
Droits it was tboujht wou'd vote for
anybody a?ai-6t Harn yet the turn
rg down of Gerrard caused him to go
toSFTa-DB.
Washington January 11 Senator
Foraker was in consultation with the
rresldent for half an rourth'a mirn-
ing discussing the Ohio cituatiun.
Tbe senator left with a significant

Chicago Jar-ary 11 The branch
f t .-circuit court presided over bv
Jud.e Horton when the cases of Chris-
topner jxierrj cnarged witn tbe mur-
eroimswire and James Smith in
dicted as accessory were called for
rial was crowded this morning. Tbe
crime was devoid of sensational fea
tures but the case attracted r ational
attention from the flight of tbe two
men and the large reward offered by
Chief of Polic ? K'p!ey from his own
pocket and wbich resuit-d in over a
ecore of Innocent people being arrested
by zealous constables and sheriffs in
different parts of the country in their
anxiety to capture the reward. At one
time no less tban six couples were un-
er arrest in as many states the cap
tors of each basing certain that their
prisoners were the ones wanted. Mer-
ry is an ignorant pedlar of brutal in-
uncts but be controls a large vote in
e foreign district where be lives and
as a result bas strong political backing
that has provided bim with eminent
legal talent. Merry is still suffering
from his frozen feet and his lng tramp
across the country to Kentucky where
be was captured.

e to appear in powdered wigs and
quiUed petticoats and tbe men in
satin waistcoats and knee breeches.
while tbe supper will be served in
colonial fashion by men in livery. It
bas even been suggested that some
venerable daughter should attnd as
Martha Washington and that George
and Martha should be impersonate J
going through the brilliant wedding
ceremony. Tbe function however
will stop short of this proposed feature
of the programme. It will be tbe first
society function ever given by the
state organization and with nearly a
bousand guests will be brilliant in the
extreme.

AN UN JUSTIFIABLE WAR
Of Denver Business Houses on the.
cal Daily Newspapers
There is a war in Denver between
tbe large business establish-
ments ard newspapers. The adver-
tisers decline to advertise further un-
less a rf duction of 20 per cent is -made
in the advertising rates accorded for
several years past. The newspaper
maraeers show how such a reduction
would cause them to run at a heavy
loss but all protestations fall on heed
less ca-s. Tbe result is that for the
time no advertisements of tbe firms
engaged in the combine are appearing
in tbe Denver dailies.
Tbe Denver Republican collected
the rate sheets of a number of nes-
pape s published in western c'ties of
tbe size of Denver and laid the facts
connected therewith before the com-
bine but without moving them in the
least.
The Republican shows that the
lowest average yearly advertising
rates in Denver and six others western
cities of about the same size ten agate
lines making a square In each case
are as follows:
Denver All dally papers 37i cents
per square.
Omaha Tne Bee 40 cents per
square; the World-Herald 40 cents per
square.
Indianapolis The News 60 cents per
square.
Minneapolis ine Journal 70 cents
per square; tbe Tribune oU cents per
quare; tbe Times bO cents per square.
at. r&ui xne.jJisDatcn oo cents per
square; the Globe 44 cents per square;'
tbe Pioneer Press 40 cents per square.
Los Angeles The Times 40 cents
per square.
Kansas uity ine world ou rents
per square: tne fc'ar yu cents per
square; tbe Journal 75 cents per square;
tbe Times bO cents per square.
In each of tbe outside cities named
above there is an extra charge of from
25 to 50 per cent per square for Bpecial
positions while in Denver no extra
cha-ge is male to large advertisers for
special positions.
it appears the rei ore from unquestion
able evidence tbat the rates charged
yearly advertisers by tbe Denver daily
newspapers are lower man tne lowest
in any other western city.
The Republican also has shown that
the cost of maintenance in Denver is
greater than in the other cities named
particularly as wages range from 15 to
25 per cent higher tban in Kanas City
Omaha Indianapolis Minneapolis or
St. Paul while paper ink etc.. are
more costly than in any city east of
that meridian. Moreover not a single
newspaper in Denver has earned a fair
return on the capital invested in its
plant during the last four years while
several of them have suffered serious
losses during that period.
Then tbe Republican r otes: "We are
creditably informed that the agreement
entered into by the concerns which
igned the letter quoted above in
volves not only the control of the press
n all public matters but also tbe bus
iness and political affairs of the entire
community."
In its concluding remarks the Re-
publ'can justly says: "Purchasers
who deal with anv- of these nrms are
expected to pay their list prices for
any goods tbey may buy and wny
should not advertisers accept the rates
fixed by the newspapers for space in
their advertising columns without at
tempting by coercion to secure a re-
uction at once arbitrary and un
justifiable?"
u ne above war will nave out one
ending v'z the ultimate triumph of
he press. Business enters into the con
duct of a newspaper the same . as any
other branch and newspaper men
frankly corf ess and tell their patrons
tbat they entertain the idea of making
receipts at least equal expenses as
the credit of a newspaper is quite as
much of an object as is credit in other
lines and the only way to tbat end is
tbe adoption of such ad vert is' ng rates
as will carry expenses. Tbis is horse
sense in any community.
