HILL TO KEEP HIS SILENCE.
Danforth Issues = Translation Thereof as
He Understands II.


When Elliot Danforth, Chairman of the
Pcpocratic State Committee. returned to the
city last Tuesday after having had conference
with Senator Hill at Wolfert's Roost, he said
that the Senator would undoubtedly support
the Popocratic National and State tickets. He
added that he would probably have more to say
on the subject In a day or two. Tho something
more was said yesterday. after National COM
mitteeman Frank Campbell returned from
Albany, where he had talked with the Senator.
This is Senator Hills present attitude as stated
by Chairman Danforth:
"As understand Senator Hills position. he
will support both the national and State tickets
OF the party. but he will make no public state
ment to that effect and he will take no active
part In the campaign. Having been conspicuous
In his opposition to the platform adopted at Chi
cago, he doee not see his way clear to support IL
active In opposition to its adoption. But the SEN
ator has already assisted the State Committee
with his advice. and will continue to do so. He
will confer with the committee or with members
Of it from time TO time. and advise them about
the work of the campaign. While the Senator
Is unable to publicly support the platform. he
see the Chicago ticket elected than to see the
Republicans successful. That is his attitude in
this campaign as understand 1t.
ator will be heard from again during the cam
paign. Mr.. Danforth said:
What have said concerning his attitude is
will not speak. but he wishes to see Bryan and
our State ticket elected"
National Committeeman Campbell said Chair
man Danforth had correctly stated the Senator's
attitude In this campaign
"The Senator feels" said he. that the posi-
ton taken by him at Chicago makes II impossi-
campaign by any, other course than that SO far
pursued by him."

HANvA AT WORK IN oHloAoo.

the South and West.

CHICAGO, Oct s.-ChArman Hanna went
straight Mt work to-day. He reached the city at
O'Clock and an hour lator was at the Audi
torium headquarters preparing for the last four
weeks Of the campaign. He looked as woll as
man usually does after spending two nights
in a sleeping car, and his faith In McKinley's
election is stronger than ever.
Twas at Canton night before last" said Mr..
Hanna, "and saw Major Mckinley. He is In
good health and fine spirits. rs he well may be.
lie has every reason to be cheerful"
"How about Senator Jones's bulletin claim
ing that you expressed doubts of McKinley's
election In q private conversation at the Lex
ington Hotel? ?" he was asked.
II can't believe Mr.. Jones authorized that"
said Mr.. Hanna. II denied that lie In New
York. but was unable to believe that Jones
would make such a statement I will hold only
the man who told that falsehood responsible for
1t. 1t seems incredible that Jones should be so
foolish as to publish such a statement. II his
literary bureau issued that statement on Its own
hook Jones would better get new mon to run
the bureau. or course. never said what they
claim.
Everything looke encouragingly for Repub-
licans in tho East. am not giving out any tn:
, 6les OF states, but only say that am satisfied
John, c. sheehan informed Chairman Jones
to-day that Bryan will carry Now York." Mr..
The Chairman laughed long and loud.
We'll, that's too funny" ne said. II don't
made by the other side"
Concerning his plans for the remainder of tho
campaign Mr.. Hanna said:
We are going to push the work In the South
and West with increased vigor from now on,
our reports from these states which the Demo,
Gratis claim, give US great announcement, and
from now on we will give them something to do
besides claiming the States on paper,
Mr.. Hanna declined to discuss the attacks
made upon him by Senator German in his
Maryland speech and also asked to be excused
from answering questions about the sound
money Democratic movement.
Chairman Hanna had an informal conference
with Messrs. Payne and Dawes of the Executive
Committee this morning. Senator Wolcott of
Colorado and Chauncey NJ. Depew also called on
tho Chairman Tomorrow Mr.. Hanna will re-
view the sound money parade. He is greatly
interested in the demonstration. and asked
many questions about the arrangements. The
fact that II is a non partisan enterprise seemed
to strike him as particularly significant.

known whether this ticket has the right to use
