Columbus, O., Jan. 11. - The senate galery was crowded to its limit when, at 11 o'clock, the first move in the great senatorial contest was made. When the nominations were made the ballot was taken and resulted: For McKisson - Brooreln, Burke, Cohen, Cromley, Decker, Doty, Finck, Harper, Kennon, Leet, Long, Miller, Mitchell, Niehols. Pugh, Robertson, Schater, Valentine - total, 19. For Hanna - Alexander, Blake, Cable, Carpenter, Randall, Dodge, Garfield, Lutz, May, Plummer, Riley, Shepard, Sullivan, Voight, Wightman, Williams, Wolcott - tota!, 17. The vote in the senate for the long term stood 19 for McKisson and 17 for Hanna, the same as on the ballot for the short term. With the 17 in the senate and 56 in the house Hanna has just the requisite 73 votes for nis election with all present, but the absence of Cramer, Democrat, who is dangerously sick, Hanna has one to spare. Senator Burke of Cleveland was the only Republican in the senate who did not vote for Hanna. Senator Voight, the fusionist from Cincinnati, voted for Hanna as did 'all the fusión Republicans from Hamilton county, except Otis. who did not produce the dramatic scène that had been announced and was generally expected. A remarkable scène took place in the senate chamber when the vote from the house was announoed. The Republican senators, inspired by the announcement, stood in their chairs and upon the floer and shouted themselves hoarse with calis for Hanna and victory. Nothing like it was ever seen in an Ohio senate chamber. "What's the matter with Hanna?" they shouted and the cali carne back, "He's all right." It was several minute9 before the hall was cleared.
