PREFERS TO BE SENATOR.
Escaping That, Mark Hanna VIII Be Soc
retary of the Treasury.

rotary of the Treasury.
CLEVELAND, Nov. ga close friend
of Chairman Hanna explained under
what circumstances Mr.. Hanna would
accept place in the cabinet.
''Mr. Hanna" he said, will either go
into the cabinet or be the next Republi-
can United States senator from Ohio.
Mr.. Hanna's course must be decided by
Senator John Sherman. Both the chair
man and Mr.. Mckinley understand
that, and they are waiting to learn what
position Mr. Sherman will take.
"Mr Mckinley wants MIR. Hanna to
accept the treasury portfolio, but Mr..
Hanna has other aspirations. He be-
lieves it would be a greater honor to ba
senator from Ohio. But Senator Sher-
man stands in the way Of that Mr..
Mckinley will offer Senator Sherman
the position of secretary of state, and if
he shall decline to 20 into the cabinet,
then MIR. Hanna will accept the position
of secretary Of the treasury. Should
Mr. Sherman decide, however, to be-
come one Of President McKinley's adj
yisors, thus vacating his seat in the sem
ate, Mr.. Hanna will become his sue
cessor. MI. Mckinley will not decide
on his course until ne shall learn ex-
acrly what position MIR. Sherman will
take"
This same friend of Mr.. Hanna said
that it had practically been decided
that Congressman Boutelle of Maine
would be the secretary of the navy
Despite the fact that both General
Miles and Colonel Fred Grant held a
conference with Mr.. Mckinley, neither
of them, says this gentleman. will get
the portfolio of war.

Our versatile friend, Col. Sawyer,
has added more laurels to his poIiti-
cal career. He is certainly omni-
present in this campaign. The fact
Is, he is in entire leadership Of the
pop party. That's all right, and
we complimented Harry for his clev-
erness. 1t is well known that the
colonel run the Miller caucus, for al
ter the delegates were selected he
took a paper out OF his pocket con-
tanning the names, and remarked
that he had carried it for q day or
two. At the county convention
every man could see that he was the
controlling influence, and many
know Of the meeting the night before
the convention. And now he caps
the climax by doing the editorial
work on the Gazette! OF course the
Colonel, personally Il good friend OF
the writer, takes the PREss and It's
editor to task III good shape, but
that's all right. In our profession
Il man must give and take. We
allhave our Jokes with each other, but
seriously the Colonel hasn't Il sol.
tdry sentiment or feeling in harmony
with populists. lie is as. different
from the regular middle -the-road
pop in his general makeup and in
clinations as day is from night, and
ii cut loose from Pettigrew influence
he would not today be leading the
populist party He publicly stat
ed yesterday, before witnesses. that
he believed Mckinley was sure to be
elected. He has always been a pro-
tectionist, and If he will give the fl
nancial question candid eXamina-
ton, we believe he will, just as this
writer and thousands Of Others have
in the past six weeks, see that free
coinage OF the worlds silver by this
country alone is not practical busi-
ness Judgment. Six weeks ago very
few persons among the masses had
examined into this question, but
now they are becoming well posted,
and the facts and logic of the situa-
tion shows that thepeOple's interests
will be jeopOrdized less to leaye the
money standard as it is, and work
for true bimetalism in union with
the other important powers, as
promised in the republican platform.
1t is now becoming plain to Us all
that free silver coinage by this coun-
try alone would only give us silver
mOnOmetalism, which we don't want.
People want silver, gold and paper
money, as we have now, in nearly
equal quantities, one dollar as good
as another. If we can open the mills,
give Iaborcrs work, and get our
money in circulation, the country
will be prosperous again, and the
colonel will be doing II land Office
business in real estate. Republican
success will bring this about, and no
body knows it any better than our
friend Sawyer.
