Cleveland, O., June 5.-withfn few
weeks Hon N A Hanna has acquired
the chuckEng habit 10 a marked degree
When delegates 20 the national Repu5-
Ecan convention were being elected and
news would arrive that Mckinley dele
gates were chosen, he chuckled. He
chuckled when state conventions IN
structed their delegates for Major Nc
Kinley. He chuckled hard when Sena-
tor Quay visited Major Mckinley az
Canton. He chuckled very hard when
he could run his eye up and down the
list OF delegates and count a majority
for his candidate, and yesterday, when
ne learned that Governor Bradley OF
Kentucky had withdrawn from the pres
idsntial race, he not only chuckled. but
ne talked about IL. He didn't say much
because he is saving wood" nowadays
arnd letting the other fellows do the
taking. But WHEN a Leader reporter
asked NJ. Hanna % give his opinion
concerning the reason OF Governor
Bradley's withdrawal, the astute cam
paign manager chuckled a bit and said:
Il don't know what his reason was.
Maybe he though somebody else was
likely 10 win 1 cannot with propriety
comment upon his actions or the &C
tons OF any other candidate, but VIII
say that II he has Withdrawn, he has
made a shrewd move"
Wherein the shrewdness law Mr.. Han
ma did not state. He apparently felt
that he has said as much as was discreet
for him 70 do, and he resumed his writ
ing.
Major Dicks reply to the same ques-
ton that was asked Of Mr.. Hanna was!
He didn't have to pull very hard 10
get out OF the race, did hep"
W. J. Morgan dropped into the Off

Of paper under his arm that was nearly

from dozens OF tall stacks, boats were
putting away on lake and river. and 10
comotives at the head OF long trains
wound In and out through the city.
Across the front OF the portrait Just
below the face was g large wreath OF
