BRISTLES WITH THE BIG IL"
Beorge q. Cox's Millionaire Senator Opens
His Campaign Under High Press
ure of Concet Of How He
Saved the Country.
The Hanna campaign was opened
wide at three distinct places in Ohio
Saturday, September II, but the chief
opening was at Burton, in Qeauga
county. where George B. Cox's sena-
tor, Mark A. Hanna, made his first po.
litical speech. All the Irrational efforts
Of the founders OF the party, such as
Lincoln, Chase, Stewart, Sumner and
host of honored dead, sink into insig-
nificance and fade into empty words
and nothingness when compared with
Mr. Hanna's speech. Hereafter, Web
sters reply to Haine and Lincoln's
speech on the field of Gettysburg will
cease to be models, and Hanna's Bur-
ton speech will be rehearsed by mill
lions Of school children yet unborn, in
countless schoolhouses yet to be erect
ed. The following condensations of
this remarkable dehverance is given
that the people may read, ponder and
for once behold perfection in tho art of
oratory in Mr.. Hannas classical stump
speech!
