BO|ES OR BLAND WILL LEAD.

"Have you selected the members OF the
executive committed
~ cannot say that the selections are all
made, but ! am at work on the subject
and will announce the names in few
days. | may say that ali publication of
names in connection with the compost
ton of the committee have been wholly
unauthorized"
''There has been much said about the
financial plank of the platform, Mr..
Hanna, and the reason for its adoption in
its present form. What have you to
say9"
"Only this, that the assertion that it
was in any sense forced upon the COM
mittee or convention by the delegates
from the East or any particular part of
the East is untrue"
''Then it is satisfactory to your"
personally speaking, entirely so.''
what shape or direction will the cam
paign take, tariff or fnance2'
"Oh, it will be strongly tariff; you may
be sure of that"
Later Mr.. Hanna was closeted with Mr..
Mckinley, remaining with him until train
time. While these visitors were at the
house they were joined by W. NJ. Hahn of
Mansfield, formerly member of the Ma
tional Committee from Ohio, and Colonel
Henry /. Kowalsky, delegate from San
| Francisco, en- route to Pittsourg, where be
will address the ratification meeting to be
held in Carnegie Hall. The colonel takes
roseate view of the situation in the
| West.
| California" he said, 'is vitally inter-
| ested in the maintenance of the principles
of protection and upon that issue the Re-
publican party will trium phantly carry
the State. The money question will cut
no important figure. [ think the condi-
| tion OF things IN Colorado warrants me in
saying that Wolcott Will defeat Teller and
| that the Centennial State will remain in
the Republican column. l have talked
with Major Mckinley and he is of the
| opinion that several of the silver States,
so called, can be carried this year on the
protective tariff argument.
| Mr.. Hahn spoke in the same strain.
"You have to make your campaign" he
said, upon your whole platform. This
! year it is protection and sound money,
and by tnat we will win. The people nom
mated Mckinley and the people will elect
him. Every man who carries tin pail
and We must have them to WINS think
! ing of the tariff as the agency which con-
trolls the condition of affairs and makes it
/ possible for him to keep his dinner pail
filed, or prevents him from filing it,
| A delegat ion OF $50 citizens from Zanes-
vile and Muskingum County visited Ma
jor Mckinley tonight and in greeting
! them he said:
eve have had some experience in the
last three years and half. Experience
has superseded prophecy and cold facts
have taken the place of prediction. We
all know more than we knew three years
! and q half ago, aud we are eli yeady and
anxious 20 get back to the period of 1892
when this country was enjoying its high
est prosperity, with the largest domestic
trade it ever enjoyed, and the largest for
! eign trade with the nations of the world.
We want to get back to that policy, my
fellow citizens, which will give to US work
and wages, give to agriculture a home
market and a good foreign market, which
was opened up by reciprocity legislation
of the Republican party. We have come
to appreciate that protective tariffs are
| better than idleness and that wise tariff
legislation is more business-like than debts
ana deficiencies, and all feel the sooner we
can change that policy which increases
the debts of the Government to the policy
of paying as we 60 the sooner we will
reach individual and National prosperity.
And, my countrytnen, there is another
thing the people are determined upon,
and that is that a lull days work must be
paid in full dollar" Cries of Good
and loud cheers.
