Chairman Mark Hanna has learned since
his arrival in New York that IL is going to
be easy to carry every doubtful State for
Mckinley and Hobart. All that is neces-
sary is to invest literally in the gold-brick
propositions that schemers have to offer,
and sailing TO the White House will be
smooth. Attracted by the oder of burning
money, the drones swarm over Hanna and
his lieutenants like wasps over a molasses
barrel. There is no money to burn. nor will
there be, but the political jobbers and
strikers think otherwise. and they will have
to beat upon a rocky and unacceptable
beach a while before they can be brought

paramount object of Mr.. Hanna's visit to
New York at this time is to show the East

ways and means to run a very moderate
campaign. and that the exchequer is at this
writing f~r from bottomless. they might
draw off. but they do not know this, nor
will they understand, at least not now.
The impression has gone abroad that there
is going to be a f~ree-handed campaign. and
