They say that it indicate-there is not the apathy In the party that las been charged. People came many ir.lle to see and hear the senator, and his frar.l, manly utterances and business-like way f putting propositions won great admirjvton on all sides. Senator Hanna address the people as a business man and on business basis. i CLOSE ATTENTION PAID. I " thing about yesterday's tour that was ommented on by the members of the committee was the close attention the people i'-ld to the speeches. The crowds were r.ot -;nly enthusiastic, but they were attfnCe. Especially was this true at Brasil, oiio - the mining towns of the State. There Sen. or Hanna was accorded close attention i hroughout. In fact, the people were bo b'-y listening to his remarks that they 8omMmes forgot to applaud especially emi itic sentences. The senator had the best'0f attention everywhere. Tb people, or rather those who had Mtm seen him before, regarded him rather curiously on his first appearance, apparentl- studying the difference between the real Mark Hanna and the one that has beer pictured in the comic papers. At one placl where the senator said good morning to - group of men he noticed they stood s i awe-struck. He remarked to 'them, rat fe r jocularly, that he had no horns and thef need not look for them. The men liugted and looked embarrased, as if they had een caught in a guilty act. Or of the things the Republican manBget have to felicitate themselves over is the -demonstration in honor of Senator Hana at Linton, which is the largest ming community of the State. There the aentor was greeted by a crowd that was very enthusiastic. A considerable per cent, of te audience wns miners. It was said that? most of the operators closed their min at noon yesterday in order to permit the nen to attend the Hanna meeting. It has Hung baeu recognized that Senator Hary a is very popular with miners, and his deception yesterday proves this fact bey .id a doubt. Besides his speech at Lin' n Senator Hanna had the opportunity of ttlklng with a committee- of miners whotrode on the train with him. They sat In r& car and discussed matters with him, excVinging views on labor questions, and whi they left they showed they were weh pleased with the interview. I SHOOK MANY HANDS. ftefator Hanna shook hands with many tho :and people yesterday. At almost ev. stop made by the train the people pressed forward to greet the Ohio statesmaif and had he possessed a thousand hans instead of two thy would have been kep busy. At Evansville the handshaking fea$re of the campaign was particularly acthe. There the senator shook hands with hur. 'reds. Little tots scarcely more than km-" high held their tiny palms up to the senator and he grasped them with a hearty goo'? will O i of the many Interesting features of thevlay took place at. Washington, where a hhdsome young woman, the daughter of a Tfelong Democrat, presented Senator IIa la with a fine bouquet after having Inirniiiuil tri him in Ma nrivmta rar ' I U VI U-. M V - - W - - - - - Heit father stood at her aide as she preaen d the flowers and smiled his approval. A - other pleasing feature was the greeting the abator received from the young

men and women Student of De Pauw University, who assembled in a great crowd at Greencastle. Senator Hanna made them a fine speech after having received a very generous greeting. The young men gave their college yells and wanted to know what was the matter with Mark Hanna. Other members of the party on the special train were cordially greeted where they appeared at different places. Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge were with the train all day and Congressmen Hemenway and Landis were with the Ohioan part of the time. The trip will be resumed this morning, the route lying through the gas belt and in northern Indiana. Senator Hanna showed very little fatigue yesterday evening after his first day's trip was over, and if the weather is good to-day it is expected he will be greeted with great audiences everywhere. AT EVAXSVILLE.

Audience of Over 5,000 People Addrenaed by Senator Hanna. The special car furnished by the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton Railroad to take Senator M. A. Hanna through the State was attached to the regular Louisville & Nashville train that left Cincinnati for Nashville at 11:05 o'clock Wednesday night. The special car is the one used by the directors of the road and is complete In all its appointments. At Louisville the car was detached from the L. & N. train and was brought to Evansville over a branch division of the L. & N. The party arrived at Evansville about 9:30 o'clock on schedule time. Leaving Cincinnati the party on board included Senator M. A. Hanna and his private secretary, Elmer Dover, W. F. Burdell. treasurer of the Ohio Republican committee; Senator Fairbanks and Senator Beveridge, Chairman Goodrich, of the Indiana state committee; Henry C. Starr, of the executive committee; Harry S. New, member of the Republican national committee; Judge L. J. Monks, of the Indiana Supreme court, and Joseph B. Kealing, United States district attorney for Indiana. At Henderson. Ky., a committee from Evansville boarded the car. The committee included Representative James A. Hemenway. Walter H. Schmitt. John H. Osborn, Mayor Charles G. Covert. David Kronenberger, James T. Cutler. Dr. C. E. Pittman, M. S. Sonntag. James D. Parvin, W. W. Ross and George Cunningham. Senator Hanna at Evansville spoke from a prettily decorated platform In wh .t is known as Little Market space, at the corner of Pennsylvania street and Second avenue. The platform was erected a short distance from the railroad track. In entering the city the train stopped a few minute? ai the Louisville & Nashville depot, where quite a crowd of men had gathered. They seemed anxious to see Senator Hanna, and he stepped to the rear platform of the car. They stood waiting for him to speak. "Good morning, gentlemen, " he said. "I m glad to see you." Then in a jocular tone he added: "I haven't got any horns; you needn't look for them." The men laughed and the train started. SOLID WALLS OF PEOPLE. Although it was early, a crowd of five or six thousand listened to Senator Hanna at Evansville. They were waiting when the train aTved at Little Market space, and they made a rush for the cars. There was a band present, and it played a patriotic air as the party proceeded between two solid walls of people to the platfcrm. The morning was bright and warm Irom the bright October sun that seemed to smile on the gathered throng. It was a great congregation of people that faced the stand when Senator Hanna walked up the steps and sat down. Senators Fairbanks and Beveridge and other members of the party took seats on the platform with the Evansville committee. The people cheered and hurrahed as they got sight of the Ohio statesman. Mr. Hanna was presented by Representative Hemenway, who spoke briefly. "Indiana Is honored to-day by the presence of Senator Hanna," he said. "We all love him, and I now present him to you." If there had ever been any doubt about the manner in which Senator Hanna would be received in Indiana by people of all parties Is was dissipated during his Evansville speech. As he arose and stepped to the front of the, platform a great cheer went up, and the Senator bowed a smiling acknowledgment. His reception was enthusiastic in Evansville from start to finish. Senator Hanna spoke as follows: "Mr. Chairman and Feliow-eitizens of Indiana I am deeply grateful for this cordial reception. I take this outpouring of the people to mean that all classes of people in this State are deeply interested in the issues and results of this campaign. You all remember the dark days- from 1893 to 1897. You well remember that great convention in St. Louis in 1896 when the principles of the Republican party were given to the country sound money and protection and upon that platform was placed that magnificent leader, that great commoner and friend of the people, William McKinley. Applause. You all remember that when he was inaugurated President of the I'nited States and when the Dinglev bill became a law that this whole country seemed to rebound under the influences of the hope that had come to the hearts of all the people. Every promise made at St. Louis, every prophecy made at St. Louis has been religiously and faithfully kept and fulfilled by the Republican party. Applause. And as a result of that we find ourselves in the midst of the greatest era of prosperity that this country has ever known. As a 'result of that party lines have been dissipated and all good citizens, interested alike in their own material interests and the good of their country, have united to sustain those principles and policies. Applause. RESTS WITH VOTERS. "Now, my fellow-citizens, the time has come when it rests with you to say how long these conditions shall continue. The important issue in this campaign, of a national character, is whether the lower house of Congress shall be kept as It is to-day, a Republican body pledged to those principles and policies which have produced such great results for the people, or whether you will turn over to the opposition the power which is the root of all the legislation and which will determine whether the policies of McKlaJay and Roosevelt shall be maintained or whether that great body shall be paralyzed paralyzed because we all know that every method and policy of the Republican party will be stopped, that all measures tending to the progress of our development will be checked whether our jroqig and heroic President will be sus"mtned. That question rests with you. "In the very shadow of death that heroic young man. speaking to the American people, said: "I will carry out the principles and policies established by William McKinley.' Applause. He has steadfastly and energetically and honestly worked along those lines until the confidence of the people in his administration has been fully established. I cannot believe it possible that the people of this State or any other will for a moment hesitate when they consider their own responsibilities and interests. I say that it is the highest duty of American citizenship to maintain those principles and policies which contribute most to the welfare of the whole people. "In the last few years you have had two object lesson. You have witnessed the effect when from 1893 to 1897. for the first time in many years, the Democratic party had full control of our government, legislative and executive. Having had the benefit of that experience the people only waited for an opportunity In, the exercise of their power at the ballot box to put their voice of condemnation upon any such national policy, and how well applause they responded, how surely and effectively they gave notice, without regard to party sffllla(CONTINUED ON PAGE , COL. i.)

AS HE ISN'T AND AS HE IS. Perhaps no other American statesman has suffered as much misrepresentation of character and deed as has Indiana's distinguished visitor. In the past he has been represented as a low and brutal type of oppressor and money grabbar, but his real character and disposition have put up a good fight and they are now showing over and above the brutal misrepresentations that he Is a strong man who Is striving for the uplifting of his fellow-men. One of his recent utterances-represents the real man: 4I am willing to give the best there Is In me to bring labor and capital together."

ANTHRACITE IS DEARER PRICE RAISED BY THE PHILADELPHIA A READING COMPANY. Advance of SO Cents a Ton Becai Collieries Have Been Impaired by the Strike. PRESIDENT BAEB'S ORDER AND TEXT OF THE CIRCILARS ISSUED BY THE GENERAL MANAGER. Alleged Scheme of Operators to Freese Oat Retailers and Deal Directly with Consumers. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23. In view of the resumption of mining of anthracite coal the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Company to-night issued the following statement addressed to C. F. Henderson, general manager, and signed by George F. Baer: "Dear Sir The reports of the superintendents in charge of the mines show that, as a result of the strike, the mines and mining: plants have suffered considerable injury and their respective working organizations have been impaired. For some time to come the collieries cannot be worked to produce their average quantity of coal. This will increase the cost of production. Estimates have been submitted showing the probable increase in cost per ton at the several groups of collieries. The general average exceeds 50 cents per ton. You will, therefore, add to the circular price 50 cents per ton this additional price to continue until the 1st of January. 1903. by which time we hope to reach a normal condition of mining and production. "Notwithstanding the fact that during the strike no coal was sold by our company at an advance over the circular price, the price has been unreasonably advanced to the public by some retail dealers. In the distribution of the coal, therefore, you will, so far as practicable, supply the dealers who are willing to sell coal to the public at reasonable prices. Where dealers seek to obtain an unfair prollt from the public you will promptly take steps to supply the reasonable demands of the public directly." In pursuance of Instructions contained in the above letter circulars have been issued taking effect Oct. 24, copies of which are printed below. An effort will be made to arrange the distribution of coal, so that parties in need may at least receive a small portion of their wants, and, with this purpose in view, dealers will be requested to restrict the amount which will, for the present, be sold to any consumer within the limits of his reasonable immediate requirements. The opinion is expressed by Mr. Henderson that the prices for white ash egg. stove and chestnut coal, delivered to house holders In the city of Philadelphia, should not, in any case, exceed $6.75. Many of the dealers have already expressed a willingness to comply with the wishes of the Reading Company in this respect, and Mr. Henderson has no doubt that practically all of them will heed the request, and charge only reasonable prices to the public. Price circular No. 3 of 1902 (line and city trade) says: "Orders received for October, if accepted, will be entered at following prices, from on board cars at mines, unless changed: (The first column prices are for Mahanoy and Shenadoah, the second column for Locust Mountain and Schuylkill white ash. the third for Shamokin, the fourth for Lorberry, Schuylkill red ash and the fifth for Lykens Valley red ash.j I Lump and steamboat $3.00 $3.00 Sises broken... 3.50 3.50 $3.75 $4.10 Egg 3.75 3.75 3.75 4.00 4.35 Stove 3.75 3.75 3.7b 4.00 4.35 I Chestnut 3.75 3.75 3.75 4.00 4.35 Pea Z.25 2.25 2.35 2.35 2.50 Buckwheat ... 1.75 1.75 1.75 1.81 ?.35 "Orders that are accepted will be subject to our ability to ship during the month of October. All unfilled October orders will be canceled at the end of the month. We will make every effort to fill orders promptly, but we shall not be held responsible for failure to ship by reason of suspension of mining or any cause beyond our control. The company reserves the right to change prices at any time without nctice, and orders sent in" will not bind the company until accepted." General price circular No. 3 of 1902 says: "Taking effect this date, the prices of this company's coal, delivered on board vessels at Port Richmond. Philadelphia, Pa., for

shipments beyond the capes of the Delaware and Port Liberty (New York harbor), subject to our printed conditions of sale, will be as follows: Philadelphia (Port Richmon 1.) Broken. Egg. Sto Chest.

They May Have Their Own Selling; Aa;ents and Deal with Consomers. BOSTON, Oct. 23. The Advertiser says: The anthracite coal operators, sfter the resumption of work and the settlement of the labor troubles, are going to r-iake the coal business as close a monopoly as the oil business now is. The anthracite men will do this on practically the same lines as the Standard Oil people have 'ollowed, except that there Is no competition to be crushed out, as in the oll trade. The operators will have selling agents, who will no longer be independent business firms, but will be little more than clerks of the Pennsylvania combine. They will make prices and sell only on such terms as the trust fixes before hand. A Jead'ng local dealer, dissatisfied with a demand that all orders of coal must be accompanied with a promise to pay within thirty days of the time the order was sent, was so displeased that he said disappointedly that -the only thing left for him would be to sell out. "Do you mean it?" he was askc 1 by the representative of the Pennsylvania coal road over which his supplies were shipped. "I certainly do," he said, sharply. "Then an agent will wait on you as soon as you return hom and will pay . you any reasonable price." he was told. The agent reached the man's place almost as quickly as the man himself did. An agreement was being drawn ip when a hitch came over the question of the sale of the "good will." "We won't pay for that," said the agent, "because it is only a question of time when every outsider must either come 'n as an agent of the trust merely a selling agent or get out of business. The goo 1 will is not yours to sell, or It will not be in a short time." "That is a pretty good bluff," said the coal dealer, aghast. "It is not at all a bluff," returned the other, with unconcern, "it is a simple statement of fact. The company will not pay for your good will, because thev do not care for your firm name. It is the business which they themselves controJ, or will soon control, as soon as their pans are put Into operation, and it will not be for you but for them to say whether you will or will not have any coal to sei! In this place. "When these plans work out." the agent explained, "the country will be divided into districts, each district having om? selling agent responsible to the main selling agent of the company. No order for that territory will be Idled unless it comes from the agent in charge of that particular district. If the company does not pick your firm out for its agency it will slm:ly mean that you will have to go out of business." The conference ended, and the dealer is still trying to find a customer for his business. He finds, however, that other dealers have had Intimation of the same kind. WILL PAY BACK TAXES. Action of Directors of the Chlcaajo Masonic Temple Asaoelatlon. CHICAGO. Oct. 23. At a meeting of the directors of the Masonic Temple Associa tion, held this afternoon, it was decided to pay the taxes on the property oi" the as sociation, amounting to $26.670. Oapt. Edward Williams, manager of the association, is now on trial in the Criminal Court on the charge of conspiring to def-aud the county out of the taxes due. He received $20.000 with which to pay the taxes and re turned to the association a receipt, which the county treasurer swore in court was a forgery. The evidence given drring the trial satisfied the directors that no money had been paid for the taxes, and they decided that the amount should be paid as soon as the trial or u imams is concluded Williams has declared that he paid the taxes and that the money has been paid into tne omce oi me county treasurer. The directors of the association also de cided to commence action against Williams to recover the $20,000 paid him by them for the taxes,

MINES IN BAD SHAPE

LITTLE ANTHRACITE COAL. TAKEX OIT YESTERDAY. Many Strikers l nable to Work Because of Dangerous Condition In Some of the Collieries. ENGINEERS NOT WANTED some: informed their places HAVE BEEN FILLED. Slight Friction Between Nonnnlonlsta nnd Unionists Threats of Stationary Engineers. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 23. The re sumption of mining throughout the anthra cite region was not as general to-day as was expected. Unlooked for difficulties were encountered in the shape of water and accumulated gas, and dangerous roofs which threatened to fall and entomb the workers were also discovered in many of the collieries. The mine superintendents would take no chances, and the mining of coal was put off until all parts of the underground workings can be made safe. This will take a few days yet, and in some cases it will take weeks before some of the mines can be put in full operation. Although work was carried on in some mines which arc not considered in the best of condition, no accidents were reported. In quite a few of the collieries the machinery and everything else connected with the hoisting of coal acted badly, and it was found necessary to close down after steam had been raised ttnd the miners were ready to go to work. From reports received from the entire region the number of mines in operation is given as a little less than two-thirds of the total number, but the output of coal was less than half the normal. The Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Company took the lead In the production of coal. Their collieries are in better shape than the mines operated by other large companies. An increase of at least 20 per cent, in the output may be looked for tomorrow. About one-half of the mines of the Delaware & Hudson Company were working, and the output of those in operation was light. The mines of the Susquehanna Coal Company at Nantlcoke were in operation, but only the upper levels could be worked, as .the lower levels contained considerable water. In three days, however, it is expected that the output of coal will reach the full quota. The Lehigh Valley Coal Company operated about onehalf of its mines with a full force of men. The Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Company mined coal in several of its big mines, but all of Its collieries will not be in condition to resume before Monday. The Kingston Coal Company sterted up two of its collieries. The other two will start on Monday. The Parrlsh company will not resume until Monday. As was to be expected there was more or less dissatisfaction among the old employes over the reopening of the mines. Where it was decided not to resume work for a few days the men took it that the coal companies did not want their services, and many complaints reached President Mitchell's headquarters. But as the daywore on and the true situation became known there was a better feeling all around. President Mitchell expects that when all the mines get in operation there will be less complaints. Until all the collieries do resume there will be more or less idle men airing their discontent. It looks as though ;he union engineers were going to have some difficulty getting back their old places. At nearly every mine where the striking engineers made application for work to-day they were told there were no vacancies. A large number of carpenters are also out In the cold. A delegation of carpenters waited on President Mitchell to-day and told him of their grievances. He advised them to wait a few days and see if employment was not offered them. President Mitchell believes that when general resumption takes place there will be few of the mine employes Idle. The firemen are being taken back in larger numbers than any of the steam 'men. That is because they are experienced and the men who took their places are not so capable. The only friction reported between .union and nonunion men was at several collieries in the Wyoming region, where the miners objected to be lowered into the mines by nonunion men. President Mitchell was buay at headquarICOTLNUJSD ON PAGE t, COL. 4.)

To Senator Marcus A. Hanna. of Ohio, whose splendid story of victories gained for the people by the Republican party, and whose merciless arraignment of th Democratic party as the blatant herald of woe and desperation, were heard by 7.000 people in Tomlinson Hall last night, there was accorded a reception that set a new mark for political enthusiasm in Indianapolis. Never perhaps in the history of the city was any man given a more remarkable greeting than that which touched the heart of the Ohio statesman. It is said that on one occasion before, a time when the late President Harrison made an address in Tomlinson Hall after his nomination, the crowd was larger than last night; but in the light of naked reason, and by the evidence of eye and ear, the statement is hard to accept. The estimate of 7,000 people is fixed as approximate at best. There was absolutely no way to measure the vast crowd that made every square foot of space in the big hall a nervous mass of humanity. Had there been room 15,000 people, perhaps 20,000, would have heard Senator Hanna's speech. As it was, scarcely half were fortunate enough to fight their way into the hall by main strength, either to the comfort of a seat or the semi-satisfaction of standing rcom. Minute after minute, as the time for the speech drew near, hundreds after hundreds were turned away in bitter disappointment. There must have been not less than 5,000 people that were forced to make the best of the situation. CROWDS CAME EARLY. An hour before the kindling music of the

band and the stirring roll of drums announced the senator was entering the hall it had been filled seemingly to the point of its capacity. Only two galleries had been reserved for the marching organizations, the members of the Columbia and Marion clubs, every other foot of space In the house having been seized long before. Somehow, some way, the club members and the hundreds that streamed into the hall with them found seats, or at least places to stand, and then the scene presented by the interior of the hall was one not to be forgotten. The stage, from the speaker's stand to the rear wall, was solidly packed; every gallery from rail to wall was filled to the point of absolute danger; the auditorium was a sea of human faces over which the waves of varied emotions rolled from time to time. As a study in masses of humanity the interior of the hall was worth while in itself; considered in the light of circumstances and time, it was of intense significance. Judged not by surmise or by snapshot conclusions, but by expressions constantly voiced and passing from man to man in the audience, the crowd was there to greet a man whom it considered as typifying perhaps more than any other the progressive principles of the Republican party; to greet the man whom it held in almost reverent respect as the friend and comrade in unwritten crises of the martyred President: to greet the man whom it regarded as the apostle of the brotherhood of labor and capital, and to express in all these ways its determination to show by multiplied presence and uplifted voice its confidence in the man and the party. The demonstration which greeted Senator Hanan was unparalleled. From the time the senator entered the hall until the moment when, through pure exhaustion, he was compelled to close his speech, the audience cheered him again and again. As the statesman was seen passing through the densely gathered crowd on the stage, leaning on the arm of Senator Fairbanks, and bearing a little on his cane, a roar of cheers swept up from the thousands that was deafening. The demonstration continued and stopped finally only when throats were wearied and lungs tired from the intensity of their labors. When Senator Fairbanks arose to introduce Senator Hanna the people were not yet in a mood to listen quietly. They wanted to cheer, and even Senator Fairbanks's personality was not enough to stem the tide of Hanna applause. Finally, when the Indiana senator had gracefully accomplished the formality of introduction and Senator Hanna began to speak the tumult broke out once more and Tomlinson Hall perhaps never knew such a glorious riot of hearty enthusiasm. Stilling the pleasant storm by a wave of his hand, Senator Hanna began his speech, but time after time, when the .forceful phrases of the apostle of common sense struck hom to the understanding of his hearers, applause would break out to run for minutes, tremendous, sincere and affecting. The enthusiasm of the audience was taxed also In the greetings that were given Senator Fairbanks and Senator Beveridge. The introductory speech of the senior senator, a model of Its kind, divided honors with the after speech of the junior senator, characteristically forceful and gleaming with the Jewels of eloquence. To Representative Overstreet and to Representative Landis" the same sort of greeting was given, and there were cheers to spare for other men of mark whose faces were recognized by watchful eyes in the crowd. Obeying the injunction to come early, the bulk of the crowd had been waiting for i three-quarters of an hour when Senator Hanna was escorted into the hall. In the interval the Indianapolis Male Quartet helped to kindle the enthusiasm by its stirring campaign songs. The quartet was encored time after time and not until the appearance of the speakers was it allowed to have a rest. ARRIVAL OF ESCORT. I At 8:30 o'clock the magnificent escort, i composed of the members of the Marion i and Columbia clubs and delegations from several ward clubs, in all one thousand ! strong, preceded by the Indianapolis Mili- ' tary Band, reached the Delaware-street t entrance of the hall. The music of the band had by this time stirred the crowd to the point where it had to yell or die. and ! nobody expired. At 8:40 o'clock Will H I ! Whittaker forced his way through the J crowd on the stage to the speakers stand Immediately behind him were Senator I Hanna and Senator Fairbanks. Senator Hanna looked slightly weary and took ad ! vantage of the arm which Senator Fairbanks held out to him. Senator Beveridge. ; Representatives Overstreet and Landis. Mayor Bookwalter. Charles N. Elliott and I Floyd A. Woods, with members of the esj cort. followed and all found seats near the ! front of the stage. As Senator Hanna took I his way slowly to his seat and divesid ! himself of his overcoat he was cheered to ! the echo and finally he responded bv bow ing several times. During this moment, always one of keen interest at great political meetings, delegations were arriving and more bands were playing on the outside of the hall. The enthusiasm and excitement were contagious and passed from man to man like wildfire. Mayor Bookwalter pointed to Senator Hanna, smiled and waved his hands. Tna

SENATOR FAIRBANKS S ADDRESS. When quiet was finally obtained Senator Fairbanks said: "Ladies and Gentlemen We have heard much of Rei-ublican apathy during this campaign.

We will win not because we wish to win, but because we ought to win. Dur ing the last five years the Republican party has been in power in national administration and during that period his accomplished much. Five years is but a brief priod when measured by the calendar, but when measured by what has been accomplished what a long period of time it has been. Much has been done for the benefit of our people at home. Our industrial development has progressed as never before in all our past history. We have extend ed the domain of the I'nited States, we have increased the prestige of the Nation among the powers of the earth. "In 196! Who can ever forget that memorable contest? It was indeed a dark and serious hour when the Republican national convention met In the city of St. Louis to resolve upon policies and nominate a candidate to carry these policies into effect. . hal no difficulty In agreeing upon our policies and no difficulty in selecting our candidate, for he had already been selected in the hearts of the patriotic American people William McKinley, of Ohio. Applause. A LEADER NKEDED. "In that great contest a leader waa needed to organise victory out of the patriotic elements of the American people. Fortunately it was that we had nominated one of the greatest and best statesmen this country had ever produced, and fortunate it was that we put into the hands of a great political general the responsibility of conducting that great campaign. Applause. Our candidate for the presidency was one of the wisest and best of men, and the leader of the Republican organization was one of the greatest political generals that this country has ever produced Hon. Marcus A. Hanna. Applaus. A voice: "He was a friend of McKinley." "Yes. my friend, you have spoken well. We like him not only for what he is and for what he has accomplished, but because he was William McKinley's friend. Mors applause. There has been in all of the history of political contests none so serious as the contest of lSd. There was hurled at the chairman of the Republican national committee by the combined elements of repudiation and national dishonor all of the charges and epithets that calumny could invent. And I am proud to say what the American people know, and that is. that all of the shafts of calumny have been broken and have fallen utterly harmless at his feet. We had confidence in him then. Our confidence is greater now. Fellow-cltisens, I have during the last six years or nearly so been associated with the distinguished guest of the evening in the public service. I have stood with him during many serious and dark hours, for we have not only had in the last six years great economic prob I-ms that taxed the genius and wisdom of statesmen, but we have had great problems involving war with another power. During all of this period there has been no statesman in the I'nited States who has been better poised, who has been wiser or who has been more true and loyal than he to the honor and the good name of the Republic of the I'nited States. Applause. "While he lived, the great President, ont of the sweetest names in all human history, did lean upon him as upon no other man.
