While at headquarters Yesterday Mr.. Hanna
talked over the speaking part Of the campaign
with General Clayton and some provisional ar
engagements decided upon. 1t was decided
10 send Ex-Governor Pitkin, Of Louisiana and
General O O. Howard and Lee Fairchild, Of Cali
fornia TO Maine to help the Republicans there
in the State campaign. Mr. Manley made the
request FOR the speakers. The election takes
place next month, and the speakers referred TO
will 20 there at once. and may be heard from
again later in the National campaign.
General Clayton, after this consultation with
Mr Hanna, started in to write personal letters
to all the Republican members Of Congress- ask
Ing them 70 cooperate in the speaking part OF
the campaign. When he gets replies he will
begin 10 make up complete assignment OF
speakers In all the States.
No reply had been received when headquarters
closed yesterday the dispatch sent TO ex-Presi
dent Harrison two days ago asking him to make
a speech at a mass-meeting which the Repubn
can State Committee is preparing to hold in
New-York. Mr.. Hackett, chairman Of the State
Committee said yesterday that as the ex-Presi-
dent was in the Adirondacks, the telegram might
not have reached him. This meeting will prob
ably not be held until after the State conven-
ton as It is thought best to defer opening the
camp align formally until that time. The only
thing that may cause the meeting 10 be held
before is General Harrson's convenience
Whenever he says he speak the meeting
will be held: II he wishes come at once the
meeting will be held before the convention. but
IS NOT though likely that IL will he

We are not worrying in the least about the re-
suit From every side come assurances that a
plain. Straightforward, honest campaign liz being
made. and that the people are beginning TO see
clearly what the issues are and that the re-
pudiatOrs will be repuuidted."
Mr. Hanna had a number of callers in the
forenoon One Of the first TO pay his respects to
the National chairman was Congressman F. b.
Hooker Of the ChautauQua- Cattaraugus dis
trct. He is extremely hopeful. and in referring
TO the situation in his district said: Il have
made thorough canvass of the counties OF
Chautauqua. Cattaraugus and Allegany, and
find that for every Republican that has declared
FOR Bryan there are three Democrats who have
renounced their party and pledged allegiance to
Mckinley. The farmers in that section OF the
country were prosperous until four years ago
and they see the way the Democratic Admins
tration has wrecked their hopes. They believe
that In return to a Republican Administration
ana a protective tariff lies their sole hope for
better era. and they are standing Loyalty by Nc
