Speaker Mason called on Senator Hanna to-day and spent two hours in conference. This conference was fol- lowed by all sorts of rumors, but it is not believed there was any agreement reached between them. There were those who had no authority to speak for Hanna, insisting that Mason would vet be ousted and that the House would ‘be completely reorganized next week. While the doubtful Republicans seem to be drifting toward the Hanna col- , there is still trouble with some Democratic members, who do nt to vote for a Republican for Senator. It is for this reason that the Demo- a rs will hold a joint Sena- al caucus on Monday night, so as to enforce the unit rule on the orial vote.

Mr. Griffith returned to his home at Marysville Thursday night, but Mrs. Griffith, who has had quite an experi- ence here the past week, remained at the State capital until eariy this morn- ing. Soon after his return home Mr. Griffith found the sentiment such that he changed his mind and he wired Mrs. Griffith to join him at their home, but the anti-Hanna workers persuaded her to remain here. Representative Griffith then sent S. W. Tiiton, his neighbor and relative, and Mrs. Griffith’s sister and other neighbors to Columbus to present the situation in Union County to her and request her to join him at their home. After the arrival of Mrs. Grif- fith at her home this morning the fol- lowing was prepared, brought here to- night by a delegation of Republicans and given out by the Hanna managers: MARYBVILLE, O., Jan. 8, 1888, To the Public: At the last clection I recelved a warm assurance from a large majority of the Republican representa- resolyed it was done. vote for to help break could be only accomplished in the way | ties offered my wife.
