WHAT MR.. HANNA DID SAY.
HE ooRREc1s SOME VERSIONS OF
HIS BOSTON IHTBRVIEH.

Said that Western Republicans Are An
Biuetailists, Not that Thore Are Free
silver Republicans In the Weet-EverV
Enn OF Them Will Vote for Mckinley.
Chairman Mark A. Hanna Of the Repu H.
can National Committee had something 10 say
yesterday in explanation Of come of the things
he was alleged to have said in an interview
with him sent out from Boston on Monday.
Il think can appreciate why all of tho news
paper men With whom talked did not under
stand me alike" said he. I'VE had a long
talk on a variety Of subjects. and no notes were
taken OF It. II there is any fault to be found
II is TO DO found with myself for being go OBJ
tuse rs 10 not make my remarks absolutely
plain TO all.
Tho particular misunderstanding related
TO the question Of silver puplicans In the
West. I would like to be clearly understood on
this point. II is an injustice to the party in tho
West to say that there are silver Republicans
as we'll as gold Republicans there The fact is
that the Republicans of that section are all BIZ
metallirts. The silver Republican is not in ia
vor of free silver coinage, and the so-called
gold Republican is against the FREQ coinage Of
the white metal for this country alone. They
both stand on the st. Louis platform, in favor
IF the larges' use OF silver as money, SO long as
its parity with gold can be maintained. Such
the so called silver Republicans Of the
West, who have been mistakenly referred to as
advocates Of tree coinage. They will be in favor
of free coinage when other civ Lied nations of
the world are ready TO cooperate with the Unit
ed States in bringing il about. Those Repub-
licans TO man are going to vote for Mckin-
ley. John Sherman's speech at Columbus
curately defines their position on the money
Mr. Hanna said further that although the
most important OF the campaign, the tariff
issue has by no means been lost sight OF. The
tariff fight will be maintained, !" said he. Aud
the rallyinG cry will be Sound money and pro-
lection -
