THESE people, they say, are baslng their
arguments on the opinions they have All
along expressed in the fight namely that
the election of Mckinley would be Il mere
matter OF money controlled by Hanna Tie
result, lhey clam, showing such treInen

HANNA NEEDED ELSEWHERE.
:, IL is not, however, denied that Mark
Hanna, like Marshal Ney, the organizer OF
victory, could be power If lie desired,
but the lest Republican sentiment is that
he Will exercise his prestige with Con.
greSs rather than with President elect
Mckinley. The reason for this is sound
The two most important Cabinet offices
to be filled are those of the Treasury and
OF State.
From both of these Hanna, Reed and sher-,
man may be eliminated, and this is the
opinion or a very Prominent Republican.
Inc reason for his is, as 10 Hanna, that he
has beyond "A doubt made promises for
larilr To suit those who have subscribed
III such manner as to have made the can
raSs the most magnificent piece or IulIti-
cal work ON record. In any Cabinet ca
pacity he would not be as available to his
friends as in his private capacity Of mar
Shai OF the Congressional forces. This
view, to some Republicans takes Hanna
Out OF the column OF speculation.
REED WANTS IT NOT.

Yesterday that lie was pres Mt at the Ebbitt
Houseoa the night OF the 81 OF March before
the Inauguration of Garfield. The two can.
dates for the place OF Secretary OF the
treasury We're Allison and Sherman.
WHY ALLISON DECLINED
The inside story was that Allison was not
reall seeking the place but that he had been
sent for by Garfield and was entreatcd to
take the portf olio. Shcrman'S friends
were, however, lnSis:cnt and clamorous
Allison was sent for 10y Garfield and had a
long talk with him from IL: so %. m TO

friends, who had fccn waiting, < OF into his
