4 WORKER TO ENTER EVERY COUNTY
Republican Managers Feel Conf

MIR. HANNA'S PLAN s

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July 3O-The re-
publican campaign will soon be inaugurared
and, according to the plans mapped out
by Chairman Hanna, 1t will be lively
one. The chairman has a plan for putting
a man Into every county in the United
States. Speech-making and talks are to
be relied on rather than literature, al
though the latter means Of carrying the
gospel will not be ignored. The silver
sentiment will not be disregarded or un-
derestimated, but its existence recognized
as a fact in certain quarters. There Is
acknowledged here to be a silver senti-
ment which in certain quarters Is well
defined. The republican managers will
work to eradicate this.
In view Of this the campaign will be to q
great extent one Of speeches and addresses.
not In the large halls in the big cities. but
in country school houses and town halls
in the rural districts. OF course. there will
be speeches in large cities and great party
demonstrations. but the real work Will be
done in the committees throughout the
states. and It will be thoroughly done. The
republican managers feel confident Of the
ultimate outcome Of the contest.
They believe that not all the voters will
vote according to their present inclfnat tions
when they become convinced that the theo-
ries which have been advanced to them are
failacious. The leaders believe that the
free silver arguments are so thin that 1t
will be the simplest thing in the world
to refute them.
1t has heretofore been actually and in a
short time will be formally decided to
send into the country and small towns a
large number of men who will discuss the
currency In the town halls, school houses
and wherever they get the opportunity.
This will be necessary in order 10 undo the
work already done by the silver agents.
who have been at work a long time.
In Summit county McKinley'S county. at
the present time there Is travelling a sill
yer quartet who sing and one of their num-
Der makes a silver speech. The campaign
of the silver forces may be said to have be-
gun here already. The republican speakers
will not necessarily be orators, but they
will be men Informed upon the subject Of
the currency. The republican managers
believe that the issue is not one of senti-
ment, but of business.
