Hanna's Hedging!

New York, August 26.-Mark A. Han
ma, speaking of an interview with him in
Boston, said: eff was quoted correctly,
what said was that many Republicans
out west are regarded as friends of free
silver because they are bimetallists.
These men will vote for Mckinley be-
cause they are good Republicans. The
party favors bimetallism, but only by
international agreement. The silver peo-
pie are claiming every one as convert
to free silver who is friendly to the white
metal. This is incorrect"

Greeted by Enthusiastic Thousands at

HANNA HEDGING ON MONEY QUESTION
Silvers Cause Steadily Gaining Sup
porters Throughout the Country
Perfect Fusion Effected in
Michigan.

Syracuse, N. Y, Ang. 26.-W. J. Bryan
took up campaigning to-day almost be-
fore the sun was up. After few hours
of rest, following the Utica meeting,
which did not end until half past IL
O'Clock, he and Mrs. Bryan boarded a
local passenger train, which left Utica at
7:15 a. m. There was no parlor car and
they took seats in the common coach,
where the passengers crowded about
them for hand shakes and autographs.
Mr.. Bryan had little to say about the
one of the most important events of his
New York tour. "It was purely social
affair."" he said
Although the absence of Hill from the
political meeting, which followed the din
ner, was commented upon, remark made
by Mr.. Bryan in his Albany speech, that
the support of those Democrats who did
not indorse every plank in the platform
was expected, was commented upon as
significant.
There is general impression among
those with the candidate that he received
assurances that Hill will declare for the
ticket.
At Rome there assembled 300 people to
whom Mr.. Bryan said: II do not sup
pose the train will stop long enough for
me to say anything to you, but imagine
from what can see that you are not
afraid of being overwhelmed with food
of money. Some of our opponents tell
us that if we have free coinage of silver
we will have so much money we won't
know what to do with it. Then again
they tell us that the gold of the country
would go out of circulation and we would
not be able to coin enough silver for our
use. 1t rather amuses me that they ex'
pect people to believe this, because there
are lots of towns in this country that
would not object to the locating of mintf
in their midst. We do not believe that
the free coinage of silver will do it. W.
believe that the free coinage Of silver
would bring gold to this country and that
too, without the aid of syndicates."
Syracuse. Hanover Square, Syra
cuse, 5000 people gathered to hear Bryan
