Concerning Mark Hanna.

Whether Mark Hanna or some other
Republican shall be elected to the
United States senate by the legisla-
ture which is soon to assemble at
Springfield, o., is not in itself mat
ter of first consequence to the Repub
lican party; but ii is of the first con-
sequence that the Republican party
in Ohio and elsewhere should play
fair. Perfidy must not spot its record.
Treason must not becloud its future.
The time and place for the Republi-
can voters of Ohio to register such OBJ
jections as may be held by any of
them to Mr.. Hanna's candidacy have
passed by. At the Toledo state con-
Vention where the party was repre-
sentatively assembled Mr. Hanna's cam
didacy was indorsed by an explicit
declaration ordered by the vote Of a
large majority Of the delegates pres
ent. In the ensuing legislative prlm-
aries and elections the issue as pre-
sented to the voters Of Ohio and
passed upon by them was Mr.. Hanna
for senator against a Democrat. There
was no question then as to the repre-
sentative character of Mr.. Hannas Re-
publicanism; there cannot be any
question now. The fight was made
by him, the issue was clearly under
stood, and by all the rules Of the game
ne is entitled to the fruits Of the vic
tory thus won.
If those Republicans in Ohio who
now threaten to desert Mr.. Hanna
want to enjoy the respect of the cOun-
try they must show a clean bill of
health. They must show that they
never acquiesced in Mr.. Hanna's can
didacy; that they never pretended to
favor it; that they have opposed it
persistcntly and consistently and that
there is reason back of theil
attitude, and not mere factional
pique or Jealousy. If they can
do this, they will be in position where
a bolt from Hanna Will be credited
to honest motives. Otherwise, their
threatened vautng over the party
traces will be set down as simply the
scurvy back-biting of a pack of politi,
cal ambassadors afraid to stand fortf
in the open; on a par with that o
gamesters who gamble only with load
ed dice.

Retaliation in Kind.

An amusing incident is narrated i'm
the Washington correspondence of some
of our contemporaries on Friday con-
ercss passed the bill prohibiting pclag-
ic scaling by citizens of the United
States. After she blll had passed it
was discovered that it included Il pro-
vision prohibiting the importation into
this country of fur seal skins taken in
the waters now in dispute. Thoroupon
Representative Johnson of North Da-
kota, one of the bills mOst aggressive
opponents, rushed to the white house
to try to persuade the president not to
sign it, He argued before the prcsi-

The Contest Dropped.

In deciding to abandon the threat

Schadt, Horn and Norton have pur-
sued the one course consistent with
fairness and good judgment. Continu-
anCe of the conts st would have dis
turhed the work Of the county govern
ment and entailed a formidable bill of
costs without in any manner affecting
the declared result.
Proof of deliberate fraud in consid-
,rablc PROPORTIONS was not fOrthcOm-
ing, and the contestants knew it, lr-
'cElilaritios there We're, and no doubt
many of them, but it is impossible to
believe that more than q small per-
rrntage uf these was wilful; and Of
this percentage a fair inquiry would
not place the larger fraction to the
discredit Of the elected candidates. IN
- mixed population election irregulari-
ties ar inevitable. Failure to comply
with each Of the somewhat COmpliCat-
cd requirements Of the ballot law is
not infrequent. But it Is an insult to
the mass of voters to charge that these
slips are uremcditatsd and conceived
in vicious intent. Where there is rea-
son to suspect fraudulent intent, the
criminal courts offer the best means of
exemplary punishment and in such
punishment after fair trial and con-
Viction citizens of all parties will re-

that it is impellcd in good faith and it
