 instead of against us.
 It was the year of a people impstien
 toF sight of Che great American nation
 blossomiDg forth once again in all tn
 glory of bullion dollar country leadin,
 the civilized world in every avenue o
 human activity.
 During ths campaign jost closed il
 she"of year" States the personality o
 Senator Hsnna has been intsriecteC
 into the anti-Rspublicsn canvssseI
 everywhere, while She State of Ohio hal
 experienced the most heated politioa
 contest in the history of the country
 From William J. Bryan down, every | man and thing that could assist in de-
 testing Senator Hanna was pressed into | service. And all because as Chair l man of the National Republican Com mittee in 1896 he directed ths brilliant | battle that gave us William Mckinley l for President of shs United States
 That they did not succeed proves that Senator Hanna is immsssursbly greater
 shan he appears when seen through op- position spectaoIes. Their failure is the cause of our celebration here this even ing.
 Ths treatmsat accorded Senator Hsnne does nos differ. except in de-
 gree, from that which other men fam ous in Republican circles have experi- enced in the past. Previous to 1888
 Matthew Stanley Quay enjoyed
 an unsullied reputation He stood, with other eminent Republi- cans, high in the .estimstion of his fel- low men. The entire nation, regardless of political divisions. proclaimed him an honored oitizsn of grand common wealth, commanding figure in all that concerned She best interests of the great State of Pennsylvania, patriotic American, loyal in every sense to his country and it's institutions, worthy in sll respects of the confidence and esteem of all good Americans.
 
 Mr. President, your club is certainly deserving of commendation for the eminently appropriate action it has taken in celebrating the victory schiev- ed in the Buckeye State. Sterling Re- publican organization that it Is it could hardly have done otherwise; nothing less was to be expected of it. Senator Hams, in the csnvass just closed, rep the National Republican party. He stood for. it's principles. He bsttled | 'or it's rights. He prsached it's gospel. | He defended its honor. Against him | were srrsyed all the. e..elsments that reject | teachings, that spurn Re- publican doctrines, that give battle to Republican policies, thatssek to hinder md embarrass Republican sdminissra- ions. He hes conquered them all. 1e has swept them of the face of the srth. The star of Republioanism still wrinkles merEily 8 full orb, shedding uster and brillisnoy, throughout the world of American confidence in Re 'ublioan sbatesmsnship = proclaiming he peFpetuity and stability of Ameri- sn institutions.
