In an interview with 4 newspaper re-
preventative in New York the other
day Marke Hanna made this remark {:
Mckinley will BE- elected IL one way or

what was meant by the one way or
the other" the versatile Hanna failed to
say. However, the expression is admis-
s!ble of many constructions, and the
country Is not apt to put the best upon
1t. seeing that Mark has not been over
particular how he has thus far gained
his polnts-so that they were gained. 1t
is said that Hanna will start the fight

8: New York. Sc; total, Ill. The Senator
classes these States as doubtful, but
does not think either of them are in very

The States which he regards as prob
