Chairman Hanna arrived over the Valley
road at l p. m. in company with General
Osborne. who has been in Cleveland for
several days. Presdent-elect Mckinley
went TO the depot in the family carriage to
meet the visitors. They drove direct to the
Mckinley home, where lunch was delayed
until after their arrival. This is the first
time the President-elect and the national
chairman have met since the election. They
remained in conference from lunch time till
