Whether Mr.. Hanna looked upon Mr..
Gibbs, the New York man, as a personal
representative of Mr.. Platt not, the fact
is patent that MIR. Gibbs does represent
that faction of the Republican party in
New York, and, as Mr.. Hanna said: Mr..
Platt was not invited to the meeting sim
ply because he is not a member of the
committee. Mr.. Gibbs, the New York State
national committeeman. was invited by
me to attend SO that he may be kept in
touch with the plans that may be formu-
lated Mr. Gibbs is New York's national
committeeman, and is responsible in a large
measure by virtue of his position, for the
result in this State"
Mr.. Hanna added: Il feel confident that

probable that Mr.. Hanna's advice to the
committee will be FOR working on both
Mr.. Hanna said to-day: The financial and
tariff questions cannot, in my judgment
be divorced. Our financial depression OF
prosperity is due in greatest measure to
our tariff conditions. Mr.. Mckinley shares
