"Tlio object of my mlssioiiaiy work," said ho, "Is to get what we believu to bo the religion of Jesus Christ before the people and try to lift some of the prejudice which some of the people have on account of representations which we claim have been erroneous. Our missionaries trael from place to place nnd hold meltings in churches, halls and private houses wherever thn opportunity oilers; and we travel as the preachers of tlio gospel did in tlio primitive church, without purse or scrip, without com pensation, wo take up no collections, nnd preacli tho gospel as wo believe it solely for the love of the gospel and love of humanity. 1 do not come here to urge peoplo to go t Utah.

It 1m also claimed by tho opposition that whllo Senator Ilutina'.s forces have been clinrfjlni; on thoir lines, that they havu been successfully attacking his linos and have piouilHes from members on whom the senator lias been depend ing;. The Hunan men claim two more accessions, but they will not Klve any names, ns they did those of Kt-prrnunt-ntivo Mnnucl Friday 'night and of Rep resentative Orllllth Saturday night. Tho opposition to J lamia has 110 bet line; yet In Its favor. Tho bets, mull ing from $.r,00 to $5,000 for oven money on Ilannn's election, have remained posted nt the Neil House for two days without tnkers, nnd there are other bets offered, nmonB them being one of $500 by General Orosvenor on Ilnn na's election. None of tho bets nre on tho result of tho first or any other bal lot, but are offered on the final result. Vhllo tho lesolutions that will be pre sented at the Iteiuibllean mass con vention this afternoon will not differ materially from tlioso heretofoie adopt ed In the counties, It is Intimated that there will be one appealing to Senator Foraker us the senior senator from Ohio to declare himself. There Is 110 doubt about tliu tone of tho resolutions to Governor Iluslmell and the bolting Republican membois of the legislature, and In them Is one which demands the resignation of Charles I.. Kurtz as the Ohio member of the Itonubllcari na tional committee, but there aro differ ences of opinion among the Hcpulllcnn malingers ns lo the Forakor resolution. Since the epidemic of local Indigna tion meetings and tho crusade for a general gathering here some of the managers of tho opposition snv two 1 listakos have been made on their side The llrst alleged mistake wns In ex posing their strength in organizing the legislature, nnd the second in nllowln.; It to adjourn from Wednesday to Mon day, so that such members as Manuel, ot Montgomery, nnd Grllllth, of Union, could go home und meet their con stituents. It was thought that Hie or ganization ot the legislature would set tle things, but It is credited that slme Mason has been made snooker lie I" calling on llanna, und since Grllllth has been sworn in as speaker pro tem ho has come out publicly for llanna. Keprosenlutlvu Joyce, of Guernsey, who voted with Iho "combine" on organiza tion, has announced positively Unit he will support llunua. His opposition was solely ugaiust Ilnxvtell-for speaker. While there were ten dissenting Re publican members last week, the llan na men say there will bo only two or threo this week. These changes nre attributed more to the work that has been done In the counties than here. Whllo there have 1 barges and coun tercharges of bribery, there was con siderable stir yesterday over the pub lication of the following In the Cin cinnati Commercial-'!' Ilmno and in dlffuruut forms in other Republican papers: While Senator Iluima and his mali ngers have been careful to iniiliu no Im- pioper use of money in the senatorial contest, they have all along known that the ethics of the ease were not so btrlelly observed by the opposition. Therefore when nn opportunity was af forded to gel Incriminating evidence agulnst the combine Mr. Ilannn's man agers were (pilclt to Improve It. A trap was set for the opposition and worked through one of the members of the combination who hiiH been trying to get uway from Senator llannu. Koine of the opposition kept trying t get an audience with this member, until It was derided to accommodate it. Ac cordingly an Interview was arranged for In a certain room In 11 certain hotel, but In advance the precaiilli 11 Inil been taken by ihe menbor to conceal a stenographer in the room, who took down every wind of the Intervluw, an Important pint of uhlch was an offer ot $5,000 rush made In the member If ho would vote against Senator llanna Just whut use will be made of the Hi, 11 ogrnplicr's notes will bo govuined h tho course of th aull-Ilnnna people." Tho notes of the secreted stenographer have been written out. und they com prise several pages of matter, which Is in tho possession of a very prominent Republican. Tho two men who aiu nc cused nt offeilng $5,000 nre us well known in Ohio politics ns cither the Bonlor or the Junloi senutor or the gov ernor. Hue of them holds 1111 Import ant slute olllie nnd tliu other has lieei an Important olllclal mid louder in this city. Tlioso two prominent workers agalnbt llanna were not the ones in tlio room with the member ot tlio leg Islntiite nnd his eonionled stenographer, but they sent their man lo the leglsla tor's loom, ami when Iho nitiulxir In slsled 011 knowing who iiuthoi Ized tin offor tho names of these two prominent pintles wo i mimed as authorizing the offer of $8,000.
