Wanna is much impressed with the reports made
n him. and he is of the opinion that with har-
mon;ous organization and a vigorous campaign
the State can be carried for Mckinley. He is
bending everything to that end, and will go into
the campaign with the hope of getting virgina's
electoral vote for the Republican ticket
COLONEL BRADYs VIEWS.
In relation to the Virginia case, Colonel Brady,
NJ Petersburg the anti-Lamb leader In the State.
called upon Mr.. Scott at headquarters yesterday.
He is anxious that vigorous campaign be made
IN Virginia, and is working hard for harmony.
I'VE have any number of Democrats" he de-
clared "who will never vote for Bryan. They
can be found in every county in the State Be-
sides the Democratic detection. We have strong
protective-tariff sentiment in our favor. The two
issues will bring us many Democratic votes. I
want our State to be of those where the hard
est kind of contest will be made. as we have
chance to win"
Charles Emory Smith, Editor of THE Phila-
delphia Press" was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
Yesterday He called upon Mr. Hanna. and later
expressed himself as being highly pleased with
the interview. Mr.. Smith is on his way home
from Maine where he has been spending his
vacation. He was sure that Maine would go
Republican this fall. and that rebuke would
be given TO the Democratic nominee for Vice
President in his own State. "Winsow was the
strongest man the Democrats could nominate
for Governor said Mr.. Smith, "and his refusal
10 run has split the party wide open n the
State They cannot get strong man to run
on free-silver platform. OF course Sep
TENDER local election does not excite the popular
interest that a National election does. and 1t
will be hard work to get the people to the polls
think that Maine can be relied upon to give
the free-silver heresy setback"
Mr. Smith thinks that the Keystone State will
roll up great majority for Mckinley. Il share
the opinion of Senator Quay" he added. that
when the issue is clearly presented to the peo-
pie in lucid manner. Mr.. Bryan's campaign
will fall to pieces. There is no logical basis for
the free-silver men to stand uoon. no ground
work on which TO base their assertions They
deal in generalities. and when the people see
the matter in clear light they Will not cup
port such a creed. If this matter is thrcShed
out. McKinleys election will be conceded be-
fore the people go TO the polls to vote. There
is lot of hard work TO be done In the West
and South. We ought to carry Maryland, Ken
lucky and West Virginia. With Missouri ard
Delaware as possibilities we have good chance
German will hurt more than help. the campaign
he is TO take part in. He admitted defeat last
rayed against him. Maryland l look upon as a
sure Republican State this year"
GOOD NEWS FROM MARYLAND.
Good news brought from Maryland to
the city yesterday by B. H. Warner, Of Kensing-
ton. in that State. in every manufacturing
city In the State of Maryland" said Mr.. War
ner. "the Democrats are openly for Mckinley
on the tariff issue. There besides n any
Democrats who are upholding Mckinley on the
money issue. The city Of Baltimore this year
in all probability will return the largest Repub-
lcan vote 1t ever gave. we are going 10 make
hard fight and expect success
At headquarters in the afternoon Thomas c.
Platt. Chairman Hackett and Edward Lauter-
bach saw Mr.. Hanna and held snort com
sultation with him. After the conference Mr..
Platt said that n. 4. Scott, member or the
Executive Committee and j. Sloat Fassett had
called upon him at his office and said mat
within day so Mr.. Hanna was going west
Mr.. Platt had then decided to call 10 see the
National chairman before the latter lett the
city.
After the conference Mr.. Hanna said:
Mr.. Plat, Mr.. Hackett and myself consulted
together about the matter Of conducting the
campaign in New-York. 1t was practically de-
cided that the formal opening Of the campaign
should be deferred until after the State Con-
venton. There is only one thing that may
cause us to start the campaign sooner. Ex-Presi-
dent Harrison is expected to make a speech In
New York in the course Of the campaign, and
it will be at the opening meeting OF the cam
pagn. 1t depends a great deal upon him when
this meeting will be held. If he wishes to come
before the State Convention the meeting In al
proba bty will be called upon the date he car
speak, but II he does not care to come at once
the opening Of the campaign will be deferred
