ST LOUIS, June 10, 1S96.-The seeth-
ing, struggling and packing crowds that
have surged like human waves through
the wide corridors OF the Southern Hotel
for a week past have literally melted
away, and this morning that great cara
vansT-y, which has been the pof.u.cal
storm centre of ST. Louis, is comrara-
lively deserted. The capacity of the out
going railway trains IS taxed to it's ut
most and tonight will Sc the last of the

Mark Hanna. of Cleveland, who has
gained such prominence as the ieadsr CT

York, for the obvious reasons gwen in

there is still much TO be said N its
favor. It is the, great commercial ard

as wise to establish themselves in a
community where they can keep in touch
with the the men who manage great

The principal objection to Cleveland Is.

principal manager is an Ohio man and
that the selection of an Ohio city for head
quarters would be considered as giving
the country an overdose of what the
politicians regard as the "Onjo idea" 1t
