Cleveland, Sept. 4.-National Repub-
lican Chairman Hanna, in an inter-
view, said concerning the result Of the
Indianapolis Democratic Gold Stand
ard convention: II think the action
of the convention will be of assistance
to us. Senator Palmer Is a strong, re-
liable man and has a, heavy following
among the Democrats OF Illinois. His
nomination following that OF 4 gold
standard Democrat for governor in that
state will weaken the forces of the
other Democrats In Illinois very mater
tally"
How about Mr. Buckner""
THE nomination OF MI. Buckner will
also do good. He is strong In Kentucky
and throughout the South. and will
help us very much"
Regarding the Vermont election, Mr.
Hanna said: 1.-THE result OF the state
election in Vermont makes 1t appear
that the people exercised sound, sober
sense in dealing with the questions at
issue. and showed their temper toward
the Chicago platform. II indicates that
the people as whole will repudiate
that platform"
Mr.. Hanna leaves here this evening
for Chicago.
