COLUMI1US , 0. , Jan. 12. Marcus A. Hanna
was elected today to represent Ohio la the
ecnalo for pcven years and two months. If
McKlnloy should be re-elected Hanna would
stilt bo there to the cnj of the president's
Eccuid term. Including bold the short anil
long terms , Ilcaua'B tlmo as senator will ex-
l.'lro In i-March , 1005.
Lois than two years ego Senator Hanna
entered politics In advocating William Mc-
Klnley'a candidacy for the presidency. He
was successful as the loader of the McKtalcy
forces al the St. Louis convcntlo and after
ward au chairman of the national republican
committee. Kor almost a year he lies been
In the senate as the successor of Secretary
Sherman.
During his short service In public life Scn-
atcr Hanna has participated hard fighting ,
but ho never before won huch a victory as
thut of today. Factlcaal fighting has waged
among Ohio republicans for years. Ot'aers
had been fighting under cover. Senator Hanna
out openly at the s'ato convention In
Toledo last Juno and defeated Cnarlcs L.
Kurtz , the dene frkad of Senator Korakcr ,
Governor Bushnell and others , for chairman
or the state committee.
Kurtz had bcui a member of the elate com
mittee for many years and Its chairman for
the two preceding years. Ho wan tiio Ohio
icpubllcan chairman In 1805 and again in
189C. lu the latter year Senator Hanna , who
wjs then managing the presidential cam
paign , was not satisfied with the work in
Toledo , aud ho did not want Kurtz In that
pisltlon for 1S97. Hanna defeated Kurtz at
Toledo for chairman a'.id has had a factional
war on himself ever since.
GERHARD CAUSES DISAPPOINTMENT.
Although Mr. Hanna was duly declared
senator at ooon today for both the long and
ohort terms , yet the oppc.-Htlon continued Its
light 'In the afernocci and Is still flghllmg to
night. Just previous to the separate bollot-
Ing yesterday the oppcoltlon was disappointed
by the withdrawal of JeptUi Gerrard , the
silver republican candidate for senator. It
wus thought that Gerrard would get the votes
of Representatives Droste and Lane , who
voted for Hanaa. Gerrard's friends say he
withdrew because 'no waa being used as u
means for creating a deadlock for the benefit
of others.
Previous to the joint balloting today the op
position offered to support Senator Dodge of
Cleveland for the short term , with Mor'rlaon
for the long term. Senator Dodge is a neigh
bor of Senator Hatiua iu Cleveland and was
nominated ami elected en pledgc.3 for Hanna.
Ho cald the ocnators and representatives
from Cleveland were Instructed for Hai.cia
and Indignantly rejected toe proposition. The
proposltlcnus also made to Mrs. DoJgo ,
who was equally as Indignant as 'her hus
band. While there have been many uegotla-
tlons with the wlveo and other members of
the famllltu ot senators and representatives
during the last week or more , the effort to
Ecctiro thu Influence of Mrs. Dodge was the
last < e attempted.
The opposition today knew It was defeated
- before the joint balloting began , but fought
to the last on the charges ot bribery und
coercion.
In the joint billeting today there were no
changco whatever by the senatora over their
two ballots of yesterday for the long and
short terms. McKlssdn received 19 vote * , and
Hanna 17. When the roll of the house waa
called It resulted In the .ballots for both terms
as follows : Hnnnn , CC ; McKlsson , 51 ; Lcntz , 1 ;
absent , 1 ( Cramer ) . The joint ballots for
both terms resulted as follows : Hanna , 73 ;
MoKlason , 70 ; Lccitz , 1 ; absent , 1 ( Cramer ) .
DEMONSTRATION ENTHUSIASTIC.
The olllclal declaration showed that IMnna
had a majority of three over McKUaon , of
two over all voting and ot ono over all the
incmberu In the general assembly. The dem.
onstratlons In the hall were unusually en
thusiastic. Governor BuEhncll and Eomo
other state oflicors wcro not present. When
Korakor was elected senator on the joint bal
lots In the Kimo hall two years ago , McKlcu
ley and Ihishncll were , both present , the
QUO tuvlng just retired and the other hav-
ing just bcon Inaugurated as governor. It
bus been customary In former > ears for the
governor to be seated besldo the lieutenant
governor when the ly-elected senator waw
escorted Into the hall.
Senator Hanna v.xis very busily engaged In
his contest last Monday and did not parti
cipate IP 4iio Inauguration exorcUea. It la
Mated that no Invitation or special arrange-
meat had been made for him on that occa
sion , uid that the bamo v > as true regarding
the governor today.
Colonel J , L. Rodgers , secretary to the gov.
crnor , came to the Nell house at1 p. in. ,
bearing the commission of Senator Hanna
00 a senator for the short term , Sccitor
llannn , accompanied by Judge A , C. Thomp.
ecci , Hon. John Little , Major E. G. iUtbbonc ,
Hon. Charles Klnncy , Judge George K. Nash ,
Congressmen Northway , Grcsvenor and Bur
ton and Hon. J , Warren Kelfur , repaired to
the ladles' parlor , where Colonel Rodgers , In
presenting the commission to Senator Hanna ,
tald :
"Senator IPanna , I have the honor to pre-
\
i * edit to you your commission as United States
eenator for the short term , a copy of which'
liaa been wont to the president today. Your
commission for the long term will bo sent
to you wltMn a few days , and a copy also
lorwarded t the president ot the senate , "
WILL SERVE ALL THfi PEOPLE.
Senator Hanna , In reply , aald ; "Colonel
( Rodgers , I thank you and appreciate thla ,
And I give back to the state my pledge that
1 lylll exccuto the power given me to the
fullest extent of my ability , and will do
tny beet to serve the interests of all the
lieoplo ot my stale , "
Previous to the two houses of the legisla
ture going Into Joint convention at noon for
the election of a senator , resolutions were
offered In both houses for an Investigation
of the bribery charges made by Reprcscnta
tlvo Otis ot Hamilton county. After the
election of Hanna , the house adjourned unt !
tomorrow , with Its resolution still undo
consideration.
Consideration of this resolution was re
sumcd In the senate this afternoon , am
adopted by a vote ot 22 to G. The dissenting
votes were Senators Blake , Carpenter , Gar
field , ' .Mny , Sullivan and Volght , who ex
plained that they regarded the matter as
buncombe. The republicans voting ) with the
democrats for the adoption of the resolution
wore Senators 'Burke ' , Cable , Crandall , Lutz
RIley , 'Wlghtman and Wolcott. There wcro
eight senators absent or not voting.
Tbo committee of five appointed under this
resolution began its work tonight , bu
nothing additional was developed.
lAfter their sessions tomorrow , boll
branches of the legislature will adjourn til
Monday.
After the adoption of the resolution to in
vestlgato all 'bribery charges , the Bramlcy
bill to repeal the fifty-year street railway
franchise law was discussed at length , with
many passagea oa the recent senatorial con
test. Senator Wolcott of Cleveland , In sup
porting an amendment to the bill , said ho
was pledged to his constituents to do so
and that ho was not like some of the "po
lltlcal harlots" In the legislature who < 31s
regarded their pledges to the people. The
bill was amended and passed.
Among the representatives during the
afternoon there was considerable ogltatloi
ot a proposition.to reorganize the house by
ousting Speaker Mason and all other officers
of that body iwho had been elected by the
fuslonlsts ten days ago. It was asserted tlm
the fifty-six representatives who voted for
Hanna today , and constituted n majority o
three In the house , would stand together for
that purpose.
No plans for the reorganization of the
senate are considered fcr the reason that
Senator Burke continues to co-operate with
the democrats , which leaves that body stand
ing nineteen to seventeen , as It was or
ganized. If ( Senator Burke co-operated will
the other republicans the senate would stand
a tic politically and could not be re
organized.
It was 1 o'clock when Senator Hanna en
tered the hall , escorted 'by the committee
and ho was greeted by round after round o !
cheeru. As ho ascended the speaker's stand
a fresh outbreak ot applause occurred , which
continued for some minutes. When quiet
was restored Mr. Hunna said : fl
'Mr. ' President and Gentlemen of the Ohio
Legislature : I thank you with a gratefu
heart for the distinguished honor which you
have just conferred upon me. I doubl >
thank you because under the circumstances
It comes to me aa an assurance of your
confidence. The assurance which , r.lven to
me In the beginning ot this term of serv
ice to you and to my state , hr.ices mewith
the strongest hope that I will be ab'.o. to ful
fill your expectations nnd do my whole part
by the whole people of Ohio.
Standing outside the line of the smoke cf
battle , which your president has Just spoken
of , nnd viewing this situation from the
standpoint or a citizen of O.ilo , I come to
accept this high honor , recojjnliung thn
when I resume my duties In the United
States senate that I nm the senator from
the whole people of Ohio. ( Great and con
tinued applause. )
This Is my native state. I was born In
Ohio. I have always lived In this common
wealth nnd have always striven to do what
might bo In my power to accomplish the
advancement of its development nnd pros
perity. If it Is now transplanted to a dif
ferent field of duty that duty will be none
the less Incumbent upon me.
In accepting this honor I accept In an
appreciative sense the fullue.ss of the re
sponsibilities which go with It and under
God I promise my people to be a fal'hful
servant to their Interc.sts during the entire
time of my service. I thnnlc you.
In the course of some remarks In response
to a serenade tonight Senator Hanna said :
I must Insist , as I htivo said several timer
here , that my personality In this thing Is
very Insignificant as compared with the Is
sues , the closing net of which was pcr-
formc/1 In that capltol today. But that act
has brought hope and Inspiration to the
heart of every true republican In this state.
The lines arc drawn now. Wo know the
difference between patriot and traitor nnrt
It FO happens that aside from being a candi
date for the United States senate by the
people , I also happcin top occupy the exalted
position Riven to mo by the republican
party of the United States ns chairman ol
the national committee of that party , nnd
In my ollld'al ' capacity I now utter the proc
lamation that no trnltors are wanted In our
camp. I have no desire to put any Indig
nity upon any man , but I have a desire to
visit upon every man the fruits of his own
sins when he sins against our party ,
RECEIVES CONGRATULATIONS.
Senator Hanna then received the congrat
ulations of the members of the general as
sembly and others and afterward returned
to the Nell house , where ho was again re
ceived with cheers and npplauuo.
Next to Senator Hanna In congratulations

cessfully managed his campaign.
Senator Hanna has received over 2,000
congratulatory telegrams tonight nnd today.

The tornado destroyed two historic build-
lugs. Judge Parker's residence la badly
wrecked and the old Rector mansion , where
Allen Pike passed his days , Is a pllo of
ashes , the ruins having caught fire from a
lamp.
The First Baptist church and the Central
Methodist church were razed to the ground
and now are only a scattered pile of kindling
wood. The Church of the Immaculate Con
ception and Brown's Memorial church lost
their spires and sustained other damage.
Signal Service Observer O'Donnell , after
viewing the wreckage , Is of the opinion that
the tornado started near the National ceme

It Is now thought all the persons In the
storm-wrecked buildings have been accounted
for.
