the campaign, and possesses some OF the
precocioussand miniature grace and pro-
jectiveness Of Hamilton. Hanna is re-
garded, nevertheless, as the next secre-

much educated, but his abilities have

Tom Reed is looked upon here as the
new. Roscoe Conkling and mutterer
against Ohio presidents. "He Willsnever
be anything more than speaker O. COM
gress,' said one Of the Hanna circle to
me. Gle left Mckinley out of his
praises without the slightest Incentive
but a rebellious and Absalom minded t,
waywardness. There is nothing exec

I I hear it intimated that John Russell

corded Mckinley the palm Of having
beaten him. He il poor, and knows
everything, and has the confidence OF

about presenting any other claim. The
Pacific Coast might have cabinet min

The South is believed not to deserve any

The power of Hanna in.the cabinet as
a foreman, mixer, a man Of fearless
initiative. is so plain to Mckinley that
he may positively refuse to consider his
declination. In that case Hanna will
give his business up and go to McKin-
