HANNA ATTACKS BRYAN
Burton, Ohio, Sept 11-One Of the three
meetings with which the Ohio Republican cam
paign was opened was held here this AFTER
noon. Excursions run from neighOorins
towns and a special train brought several hun
dred persons from Cleveland. About eight
thousand people attended the meeting. The
speakers were Senators Foraker and hanna
Ex-Governor Charles Foster and ]. j. sullivan
president Of the Ohio League Of Republican
Clubs
Senator Foraker was the first speaker. lie
referred to the Importance of Republican VIC
tory In Ohio this year. nd said that II the
Legislature should be Democratic next winter
the State would be redistrcted for Congress
sional purposes In such way as to make the
Ohio delegation Democratic as strongly as 1t
was now Republican.
The chief danger. he said. was that Demo-
crat might be elected Senator in place OF Mr.
Hanna. That would be misfortune. In this
connection Senator Foraker paid tribute to
Mr. Hanna, and declared that Ohio could not
afford to dispense with his services In the SEN
ate.
Mr.. Foraker also appealed to his hearers TO
sustain the National Administration by Votns
the straight Republican ticket from Governor
down. He said that in six months the Re-
publican Administration had restored prosper
ty to the country. and he praised President
Mckinley for the part he had taken in restor-
ing confidence among the people. There was
not a single reason, he declared, why any
body who voted for Mckinley last year snond
vote against the National Administration TINS
year.
SENATOR HANNA'S SPEECH.
Mr.. Hanna began by declaring that he was
not prompted by selfish motives 10 leave MS
extensive business and go into politics. Contin-
ung, he said:
Our country is tho greatest wealth-producng
country Of the earth and you tiers OIL .ie r so
are charged with the duty of protecting II. MAJ

over Fopocratism or any other klno OF isiIi

When Mckinley was nominated IL was
thought that the industrial problem was me

The Chicago Convention. controlled by con,-

cred under a red flag, forced upon the Demo
cratic party new issue. That convention was
dominated, not by the old-time JeHerson,an
Democrats, who had their fathers prinoipies.

new found leader W. J. Bryan. should try his
hand AZ government .
You know some Of our good friends we're
misled into believing that free silver would
bring good times. They were honest put were
simply mistaken in their views on the money
question The best minds and men OF tie
countr, volunteered their services and their
time to the educational work OF the campaign,
spreading their thoughts like autumn leaves;
yea like the snowfakes OF heaven over thls
land The Republicans Of the Middle states
saw that they had made a mistake, and they
came back to us by the thousands; yea. by
the hundreds of thousands and the country
was saved
BRYAN's SHIFTING TACTICS.
The cry was made by Mr.. Bryan himself that
silver and wheat had parted company. Then he
tried TO shift his ground, when Providence or
somebody else tried to undermine his argu-
ment. Last year he tried to array class against
class in this great and free country of ours. to
build up an anarchistic and communistic sen
timent Now, what does he say? He says the
reason wheat and silver are on divergent INES
is because there IS famine abroad, ana that
ANYWAY there are only few wheat-raisng
States in the United States. say that there
is a high value placed on wheat: II IS petter
| reason II no other--there are more States IN

there Is more money invested IN farms IMAM III
