CHAIRMAN HANNA
IS ENTHUSIASTIC
Says Everything Points to a Sweeping
Victory for Mckinley.
THE WEST IS GETTING INTO LINE
About the Marvellous Or.
gaEixatiOn Which the Present
Chairman Has Perfected..NOthin
Like II Ever Known Before in the
History Of American Politics.

chicago SEPT. 20.-Chairman Hanna
left for Cleveland ana the east last
nignt. When he re'urns lie Will devote
all his time until the close Of the cam
paien to the political pattle. He said
before leaving that ne vas better sat-
lstol ,,iti. the w2steir situation than
when ha came here During the last
,wo week, there had been a gradual
frightening of thc political horizon.
He was satisfied that Mr.. Mckinley
would not only carry the great CEN
trail states OF the west by handsome
najcrities, but that he would probably
win in other states where electoral
votes are now confidently claimed by
the Democrats. Henry G. Payne will
frin take charge of headquarters in
Mr. Hanna absence and will devote all
his time to the transaction of business
here.
WELL ORGANIZED.
It is MIR. Hanna's Upinion-and In
this he is supported by many who
have crown gray In the working of
political machinery-that today the
Republican party has the strongest
and best national political organization
excepting even the famous Tilden or
ganiza ton of the centennial year. 1lli-
nois, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, Indiana.
Nebraska and Minnesota and the two
Dakotas are organized to the very
core, through what Is known as the
township system, by which the state
committee works In direct connection
with the county committee, the latter
in turn with the township organiza-
tion. this in turn with the ward COM
mittee, and the latter with the pre-
cinct board. Thus the state commit
tee, and through IL the national COM
mittee, has its finger, as it We're, upon
tn" pulse of every voter already on the
side OF patriotism and of every one
who has in him the making OF a. con-
vert.
A WONDERFUL SYSTEM.
simplicity itself. To quote Mr.. Hanna:
This systematic organization is
about complete. and If organization is
of any use in elections, then we have
that much advantage over the Demo-
Gratis. I honestly do not believe that
there were ever so many people ac-
lively engaged in electing a president
az there are In the present Republican
campaign. My representatives show
that tens of thousands of men, who
never before have taken any interest
in politics beyond going to the polls.
are today wearing themselves out talk
ing for Mckinley, distributing litera-
ture or making polls of their business
places or residences. This remarkable
and extraordinary willingness to work
! regard as one of the most encourag-
ing phases of the campaign"
Nebraska appears to have reached
the finest point In its method of town
ship organiZa ton. In a detailed state
ment rendered to headquarters, by
Chairman George w. Post. ii is shown
that every square mile of land i'm the
state has a Republican worker. whose
duty II Is to look after the voters or
voter residing thereon. In some of the
praire regions such worker has only
one man in his bailiwick, while others
have but four or five.

MANY PLANS TO RAISE MONEY

Apropos of the arrest of lyman and
other Irish suspects at Boulogne and else
where, it may be noted that there is great
activity among patriotic Irishmen in San
Francisco, who are preparing to do all in
their power to raise funds for the comfort
and relief of the five Irish prisoners who
have lately been released from English
jais. Their scheme also embraces the
raising of funds for the relief of such pris-
oners as may be released hereafter.
ITO accomplish this purpose said Pres
ident jeremiah Deasy of the Celtic Union
last night, There will be meeting of rep
resentatives from all the prominent Irish
societies in the bay cities at an early date

race to come to their rescue. They must
have rest and be carefully tended if they
are ever to resume their places in this
world.
TO secure this rest and care a large
sum OF money will be necessary, and for
this reason we appeal to you for the sake
OF common humanity and for the love
you bear the patriots who went into the
hight for our motherland. There is no one
so poor as not to be able to aid in this
noble work.
But the work under way extends be-
yond giving relief to those that have been
released. 1t comprehends a movement to
get amnesty for those now in british iails.
There are just twelve Irish political
prisoners now remaining in English jails,
ana all were convicted of "treason-feI-
ony," as the English law terms the crime,
ana all but one are serving life-sentences.
Inc following seven are in Portland
Prison: Henry Hayward Wilson, Harry
Burton, Henry Daiton, Patrick Flanagan,

1t has been believed all along that q
mum Der OF these men would soon be re-
leased, and the efforts of the American
organizations will be toward doing every
thing possible for these. The Amnesty
association will do all in its power for the
release OF every prisoner. and the local

which Nathan Dohrmann, James d.

considerable length upon the new charter

The speakers said the proposed charter
