Hanna in the Senate.

The Boston Herald declares with con-
siderable truth that Mr.. Mark Hanna has
proved himself a remarkably successful
politician. 1t calls upon him, now that
he has been appointed to the Senate, to
step right among the grave and reverend
and assume leadership and an over
shadowing personality which shall SO ap-
peal to the common sense and public spirit
Of the American people that any resistance
On the part Of the Senate to the demands
Of the people will be impossible The
Herald wants Mr.. Hanna to dominate
the upper branch of Congress in this way.
Indeed, it distinctly urges him on.
This win be pleasing program for Mr..
Hanna. and we have little doubt that he
viii undertake\tt. If from any innate
modesty he shoufo> be disinclined TO such
a course, tile very necessities Of the case
win force him to it. He is Mr.. McKinley's
manager, for one thing. For another, he
is familiar with all of the campaign prom
ises and knows better than any one
whether to keep or break them. In the
last analysis of such things he will have
all of the federal patronage at his dis
poSal, for even If his shy inclinations
might dfssuade him from assuming quite
so much as that, these burdens win be
put upon him, and he will finally bear
them. What is even more to the point,
the pc ople Of this country expect a higher
tariff, new currency system, and an
effort in the direction Of international
bimetallism by agreement. And they want
these things quickly

Secretary Bliss.

Awhile ago the Honorable Cornelius
Newton Bliss, OF New York, thought he
saw IL, and then it was believed that he
didn't see it. Business and family cir
cumstances prevented him from accept
ing place in the Mckinley Cabinet. He
comes TO Washington, however, in time
TO see the Inauguration, and When it
appears that the President-elect cannot
complete his Cabinet in any better way
he sends for Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Bliss
comes out Of the large end of the cornu-
copia
Cornelius Newton Bliss has been a Re
publican wheelhorse for many years. Sew
eral times he has been treasurer of the Re
publican national committee, and the Job
IS not pleasant one The committee of
1883 came out OF the campaign some $751;
900 to the bad. Mr. Bliss. with the assist
ence Of Mr.. Thomas Dolan, Of Philadel-
phia, paid the overdue bills and trusted
the committee, or the party, until the cam
pdlgn or 1892 rolled around. He got his
money then, and more credit with his fel-
lowpartisans He wanted to be nominated
for governor when L. p. Morton beat d.
b Hin, but Mr.. Platt turned him down, as
be also doused the gubernatorial aspira-
tons Of Nj Whitelaw Reid. Bliss has
opposed Mr.. Platt more or less in a desul-
tory sort of way on account Of these and
other inattentions. It is believed Just
now, however, that the choice OF Mr..
Bliss was made to seem acceptable to Mr.
PIatt- Perhaps Republicans are justified
In rejoicing that this latest important per
Torrance of Major Mckinley denotes the
real political adaptabiIity of their new
standard bearer.

MrS. Cleveland.

1t Is quite certain that all of this vast
Inauguration crowd, visitors and residents.
Republicans, Democrats, and mugwunps,
soldiers and civilians, politicians and plain
common folks, will have kindly thoughts and
good wishes for Mrs. Cleveland as she
goes to her Princeton home. 1t is beauti-
fui home, in beautiful, quiet town, and
she will be relieved from the arc-light glare
arrange her own home lifein whatever way
she may choose. But wherever she is, she
cannot be more simple and unassuming in
her ways than she has been as the first
lady OF the land. She has made herself
loved, and the secret OF that Is that she
has kept her own charming individuality
through all the rush and furry OF social
life in Washington. Her children have had
all the attention they needed, and her old
friends have never been allowed to feel
themselves neglected.
She has done graceful and kindly things,
not because they were good form, but be-
cause 1T was her nature to do them, and
she has done great many which no re-
porter for the newspapers has ever found
out She has been a brilliant social sue
cess, and she is a beautiful woman; but,
after all, this S not the reason OF her hold
on the American people. There are other
women who are beautifli ard brilliant ana
admired, and people do not care about
them especially. Their gowns are pictured
III the daily papers, and their diamonds re-
pose in the safe deposit, and that is about
all there is in them. But Mrs Cleveand's
success is of a different kind. Sue has
taken her place naturally as the first lady
of the land, because she is a true and
gentle woman.

Ohio In SONG And SPEECH
Glee Club, of Columbus, Serenades
Buckeye Statesmen.
Talks by Gov. Bushnell, Senator
Foraker and His Junior
Colleague-Elect.

A scene that called up recoIlections of
the late campaign was enacted in the lobby
of the Arlington Hotel yesterday after
noon. The Republican Glee Club, of
! Columbus, O., consisting of so uniformed
| men, marched into the hotel and arranged
| themselves three deep around the lobby
| Under the direction of their leader they
struck up rolhcking campaign song. and
the already well-filled space was soon
crowded with guests from all parts of the
hotel The serenade was in honor Of
Gov. Bushnell and the other distinguished
gentlemen from Ohio.
| The voices were well trained, and the
men sang with great deal of spirit. Gov.
Bushnell appeared in { he lobby and acknowl
edged the salute gracefully, but the crowd
cried for speech. He made a gracious
response. After congratulating and aSsir-
ing his fellowcltizens OF the warm welcome
Washington would give them, he said:
You know we ohioans have been very
busy for the past few months making
Presidents and Senators. It took 525, 900
Of us-to make a President, but it only
took one man to make a Senator. i
suppose there are enough OF us left In
Ohio TO run that State, but / am sure
there are enough OF US here to run Wash
ington- / thank you for your music, and
If any other State thinks it has a bet
ter gIee club than Ohio and will bring it
around here and seTenade me, viii move
TO that State
Another song was sung and Mt Hanna
came quietly into the. lobby. The crowd
spicd him and called for him To speak.
Gov. Bushnell caught him by the arm as
be tried to escape, and the crowd closed
around him and pushed him To the cen
ter. With resigned expression on his
face he stood beside Gov. Bushnell while
he was introduced, and then he said:
II am too much of tyro in this bust
ness to follow in the footsteps OF our IL
lustrious governor. He has had experience
and 1 have not. l want to improve this
opportunity TO extend my thanks TO you,
boys You have good glee club and we
know and appreciate the help you rem
dered US during the campaign, and now,
goodby.'
Senator Foraker was next called, and
made very neat speech. Among other
things, he said
1 am very happy to meet this Plee
club, as always have been on other occa-
sions. / am also glad we can speak Of the
other Senator from Ohio, and that he Is
Republican. 1t has been a long time since
we have had two Republican Senators from
Ohio, and l hope 1t will be a long time
until we do not have two Republicans
in the Senate. This administration comes
in with the brightest prospects and under
glorious circumstances 1t will mold the
honor and good name Of the United States
better than any political victory. The Sen
ators from Ohio will do all IN their power
to make the incoming administration a
success"
After Senator Foraker finished speaking
the gIee club sang several songs

The End.

And, now, Grover Cleveland, a final
word with you.
When the Democracy discovered you,
in 1882, you were obscure and poor.
They made you Governor of New York,
and in two years you reduced majority
of 1872, 600 to nothing.
In 1854 the national Democracy made
you President OF the United States. Four
years OF personal misgovernuient did their
perfect work: You led your party down
TO defeat and made possible the Fifty
first Congress and the administration OF
Benjamin Harrison.
Rid OF you the Democracy began to
recuperate. In 1889 they carried the
Republican State or Ohio; in 1880, they
swept the country.
You came back and in 1892 were once
more carried tuumphanuy into the White
House. Disaster followed. In 1898 the
Democracy were routed; in 1894 all but
annihilated. You deserted then, OF course,
and for the past two years have been OF
al influences the most valuable and i'm
portant to the Republican enemy. With
your formal rcpudiation Of the Democratic
platform and ticket Of 1886 the chapter
closes-a tale Of political treachery and in-
gratitude without parallel in American his
tory.
