Bushnell (Governor)|Asa Bushnell]] appointed Mark Hanna as senator, March 5, 1897, pending a meeting of the Ohio legislature. Hanna was elected on the first joint convention vote (73 votes needed for election). "Short term" election, to expire March 4, 1899.  See note to the long-term vote in next box for additional information as the votes on both elections were identical.

| election_note      = January 12, 1898; "Long term" election, from March 4, 1899, for six years.  Each house met on January 11 to vote on both the short and long term Senate elections; if both houses gave the same individual a majority vote in either contest, no vote in joint convention would be necessary.  Instead, the individual would be declared elected for that term after the journals of each house were read in the joint convention.  Otherwise, a roll-call vote would take place.  A total of 73 votes were needed for election; Hanna was elected on the first joint convention ballot.  The results on the 11th were, in the Ohio House of Representatives:  Hanna 56, McKisson 49, Lentz 1, [[Aquila Wiley]] 1, [[Adoniram J. Warner]] 1.  In the Ohio Senate, McKisson 19, Hanna 17.  As the two houses did not give the same individual a majority in both, this required a roll-call vote in the joint convention of the two houses.  The results were those at right, broken down:  House, Hanna 56, McKisson 51, Lentz 1; Senate, McKisson 19, Hanna 17.  Vote totals were the same for both the short and long term.
