the stsitudethat ,ome Of the prom
ii'ent Foraker men in Ohio hav,
taken against the election Of Hann,
to the Senate. Whether by so do
ing he hurt or helped Hanna is a.
ye; matter Of doubt. There wa.
n, quarrel hetweeq Mckinley and
Senator Foraker, but there was
plain talk on both sides. Mckinley
said that he knew Foraker could
stop the fightoR Hanna that some

actually making, if he desired to do
20. Foraker did not deny his power
to do 50. but fstoFted by saying that
Hanna had brought il AL on him-
self by his treatm!snt Of the Foraker
and Bushnell republicans, and inti-
mating that he thought it would
serve him good and right # he fail
I'd TO get elected ta the Senate. Nc
Kinlsy did not defend Hanna's
methods in dealing with Foraker's
friends, but he made it very plain
that the whole power of the admin
istration would he used to SECURE
Hanna's election. and that it would
be useless for any republican who
took any part in an attempt to pre-
vent his election to expect the slight.
est favor from him in the way Of
patronage. Notwithstanding all Of
this the most that Mckinley. could
get out Of Foraker was . proEise
thst he would Aes peFsonally do any
thing against the election of Hauna.
Foraker is still in Washington and
Mckinley has not abandoned hope
Of being able to bring sufficient
pressure to bear upon hin to get
him to agree to call his followers of
and 70 allow Hanna to he elected.
