fYY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.1
Cleveland. Nov 1.-THE sensation OF the hour
In Cleveland is the speech made by Marx Hanna
last night at the Union Club. on the occasion or
q dinner given by him 20 twenty-five or MS int-
mate personal and political friends. to celebrate
the close Of the campaign. Until this year ne
has never made n speech but he has suddenly
developed a remarkable capacity for brief.
pointed and eloquent addresses. which seems to
prove once more that Il is occasion. ana not
practice. which makes orators His speech last
night was not less remarkable In manner thah
in substance 1t was evidently without prepara-
ton. but was delivered with a grace and dignity
that many professional after-dinner speakers
might envy.
In brief but touching words he referred TO MS
lifelong friendships with those about him. friend
ships more precious, he said than any earthIy
honors could be- He wound up with the an
rouncement that no official place could tempt
him to give up his home In Cleveland ana MS
daily association with the friends with whom MIS-
life has been spent. The loud applause with
which the speech was greeted was foiiowed py
blank silence. which was soon broken py '"e
eager protestat atlons of his friends against the
great managers self-denying statement. These
seemed however, to have no influence on his de-
termination not to accept office.
The Incident Is much discussed to-day In po-
ltical circles II had been taken for granted that
Mr.. Hanna would occupy distinguished place
In Mr.. McKinley's Administration. and his
straightforward statement last night Is regarded
a crushing reply to the inslnuations OF the
enemy that anything except patriotism and de-
votion have dictated his recent actor. II is ad-
mtted that no office could add to the distinction
ne has gained by the magnificent campaign
which he has brought to triumphant a close
