'peeial Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND. Ohio. August 7.-Chair-
man Hanna is expected here this after
noon. That he failed in his mission to New
Yerk Is believed by many republicans here.
Hanna's mission was not so much to secure
an abiding Place for the republican com
mittee, which any New York house agent
could haze arranged in half an hour with
out Mr.. Hanna SO much as leaving his Of
flee in the Perry Payne building. but 1t was
for the much more important purpose cf
making an alliance with ex-Secretary Will
lam c. Whitney. for whose venerable
father-in-law Mr.. Hannas Cleveland cf-
fees are named. for coalition between the
gold democrats and the national republican
ticket. and to smooth, if possible, that po-
litical ma elstrom known as the New York
republican situation.
1t was N the highest hopes therefore
that Ex-Governor Mckinley saw his man
ager depart for New York. How rudely
these hopes have been dashed to pieces
may be easily gained by summarizing the
result Of Chairman Hanna's trip.
In pursuance of Maj. McKinley's instruc
tions Chairman Hanna took the earliest op
portunity to meet Mr.. Reid. They spent a
night together at the latter's home. Ophir
Farm. on the Hudson. Then Mr.. Whitneys
proposition was fully set forth to the re-
publican manager.
In vain did Mr.. Reid impress upon the
western manager the Importance of such
an arrangement.
But Chairman Hanna was too much in
tcxicated with past successes. to take the
advice either of Reid or Mckinley. He did
not propose to have any democrats sharing
in Mckinley's administration.
His trip is regarded here as the most
serious blow the republican ticket has yet
sustained. The results are absolutely null,
and the chagrin of the republican leaders
here is undisguised.
