opera house to hear Senator Hanna
address on prosperity and his ap-

speech of the c.npaigo, aud his re
ception was cold.
"Success iu Oaio, he said, "means
that Mckinley will have both
branches of congress to help him
Defeat would mean that we repudi
ate our presidest. 1t would mean
that We do not approve or appre
ciate the tariff bill Leaving out
my own personality, let me tell you
that the result applied to the con-
troll of the senate is second to none

Of majority. II we carry Ohio,
Maryland and Oregon we will give
Mckinley chance to redeem every
pledge Of last year
We did pas' the tariff bill, and it
seems now slmost u miracle, yet 1t
was done, and the good effects are
dawning oil over the country" Then

to carry out his first promise tc
ratify and ramify all the principles
for which he had stood all his life
and so prosperity has come. 1t has
come to stay, but your duty is not

No man was happier than wher
