ana broposcs to defeat Mark Hanna. il
possible.
Advlces received recently at the supr enle
headcaarters uf The A. J.. A, in this city
arc that the Clio State councils are mani
1rous against the Hanna people 1ut are
CLOSELY allied with Foraker. Bushnell and
HcKi sson.
The 4 Z. A. claims 70 Rave teen TAR
uorlarly stioug in Tie last legislature ana
they are making every effort to sost mem
hers known to bc against Eanna. A cif
cular has teen ISSUED from the State council
of the order alta cking Hanna aud Mckinley
The opposition to the latter arises iroA,
the belief that he PROPOSES to elevate Al

To the Supreme Bench.
Col. J ". E,.hols. supreue president OF
the aSsaciatiOI in the UniIed States, said
Yesterday that the supreme body " a. TAX

Dafgn. hut Information from that State
showed that the local councils there Were
working hard TO defeat the legislative

Hanna FOR his conduct during the present
Administration. This campaign il exactly
in line with the wishes OF the Foraker and
McKisson people, ana win greatly please
For;ler whC, though pretending rcco A.
Citation with Hanna, is ia reality oniy
awaitinF achaRce to enCOuipa h:Sdefeat.
ItiS clainird that it was only through the
influence OF the A y. A. that Hanna Sc
cared his seat in the Senate, Supreme
PreSi lent Echols having gone To ohio and
himself directed the fight which resulted
IN GOV. BUainells action.
The ca;tpai-n ia MARYLAND is equally iIr-
teresting. Hanna is too busy in Ohio, il
IL sdeclared tC take any part or give any iS-
sistapce. ard the policy determined il that
each State. like the proverbial tub, must
stand on It's own bottom
la aniHtcrview today .one ofthemen W no
stands very Close t. Senator Hanna gaze
utteranca 10 the views the Senator is aC-
credited with holding in regard to the
Malsi,. campaign. This gentleman said
that the refusal OF the Ohio leader to lend
finantlal assistance to the Republicans in
Baltiuorc, wao had besOuEht with great
carnestn-Ss such assistance, was that lac
ftlrit would be throwing money away.
.'Nr. Hanna is not a short-sighted poll
tician or a Iichless financier," said his
friend. ''Ile has proved himself directly
the opposite Of both. When he learned OI
the dire straits the MalSterites We're in he
wanted to know first the extent Ofthe hole
they were in.
"The Maryland people represented that
all they wanted was muney and without
IL they could not win. Mr.. Hanna wanted
To know If they could win with il ard did
not see aRySense in securing them the money
IL they COsid not.
In this EOmcnt of ncerta inty he re
ceivcd aG cices from tie same sOGrc IS
that last year represented the outlook tu
him, and Le Concluded that he had better
keep what money he mad in his pocket.
Senator WelingtOn's views had a great
effect apon Mr.. Hanna, who has implicit
faith ia the Maryland Senator and his DO-
lnical saC8city.
Mr.. Hanna has been adversely criticised
in this matter ty some of Malster's friends,
bat such criticism is unfair and MUST.
If the Senator had seen the slightest hope
for success OF his party in BaltiHOre ne
would have been oIly too willing TO extend
q heIpiug hand"
