Cleveland, o., Oct. 26.-There is pretty
good evidence thar the Hanna managers
in Cuyahoga county have leagued them
selves with the A. p. A., through ex-Con-
gresham Linton, OF Saginay, for the
purpose of capturing n portion of the
Catholic vote. The extraordinary ma
neuvreewas attempted through the rubli-
cation of a letter from E. Doville, of To-
ledo, president of the State organization
of the A. p. A., in which he berates the
Mckinley administrator for having APP
pointed McKenna, Stcrer and other Cath
olics to office.
The circulation of this letter was Sc
cretly promoted by the Republicans, in
the apparent hope that it would create
Catholic sentiment for Hanna. This hope
has suddenly gone down before the expos
ure of the maneuver by the Democratic
