hmlnary campaign attracted attention
to him from all over the country, and
he was elected delegate.at-large to the
st. Louis convention. How he man.
aged the Mckinley interests at the
convention is history that is so we'll
known and SO recent that repetition
OF it is unnecessary.
Marcus Alonzo Hanna was born Sep.
tember "a, 1887 the second in age of
seven children-Helen Gertrude, Mar.
Gus Alonzo, Howard Melville, Salome
Maria, Seville Samantha, Leonard
Coulton and Lillian Converse.
Mr. Hanna is an Ohioan by birth,
and has always made this state his
home. He was born in New Lisbon.
Columbiana county, the county adjoin-
ing the home of President-eleot Nc
Kinley, September "a, 1887, and moved
to Cleveland with his father in 1852.
He was then Is years old, and the best
occupation open to him at that age
was to attend the public schools, where
he prepared himself for course at the
Western Reserve college, and passed a
year there in scientific studies. In 1857
he went into his fathers store, a large
wholesale grocery, which was doing
an extensive business in the Lake
Superior trade. The entire manage.
ment of the affairs of the concern soon
fell upon Mr.. Hanna, and after the
death of his father he settled the
estate and managed all the affairs of
the house. During the war Mr. Hanna
enlisted under Abraham Lincoln's call
for troops, and served four months in
Washington In 1854 he married Miss
c. Augusta, the daughter of Mr.. Dan
L. Rhodes, one of the pioneer citizens
of Cleveland
At Mr.. Rhodes death the firm of
Rhodes & Co. was succeeded by M. A.
Hanna & Co., dealers in coal. iron ore
and pig iron. Though Mr.. Hanna en-
ploys from 5000 to 5000 men, yet the
interests under his control have never
been disturbed by labor troubles. He
has always maintained the most friend.
ly relations with his employees.
Mr.. M. A. Hanna is of Scotch Irish
descent He comes from long line of
sturdy and energetic ancestors, and his
family has lost none of it's strong com
mon sense by locating in the new
world. He is genuine representative
of the best type of American manhood.
He has always been republican, never
an office-seeker, never an ofiice-holder,
except when "a member of the Cleve-
land board of education. In the occu-
pancy Of that position he soon made
himself conspicuous by his advocacy of
the extension of our public school
system. 1t was favorite saying Of his
that the perpetuity of our free institu.

Ruiz's Death to Be Investigated.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Official cable
grams from Madrid received at the
Spanish legation regarding the death
of Ruiz, show that the government is

The news that the appointment Of
Mr.. Hanna to the vacant senatorship
has been definitely decided upon was
received with profound and widespread
approval. It was in response to sem
N6ent that has made itself unmistaka-
bly, manifest since the announcement
that Senator Sherman would accept
be portfolio of state. County commit.
tees and political clubs all over Ohio
had adopted strong resolutions favoring
Mr. Hanna's appointment and for
warded them to Gov. Bushnell. Over
160 of the republican newspapers of
Ohio had advocated his selection by the
governor. In Mr.. Hannas own city,
where he is best known, he received
the unanimous and emphatic indorse-
ment Of the 25 republican clubs which
are affiliated with the Ohio League of
Republican clubs. The Hanna senti-
ment was as widespread and as earn
est as the Mckinley sentiment was for
months before last summers st. Louis
convention. 1t cropped out wherever
there were few republicans together.
1t was strong and outspoken at the
meeting of the Ohio League of Repub-
lican clubs at GAINESVILLE on February
10, and had it not been contrary to
the constitution of the league to in
dorse candidates for any office reso-
luton would have been passed by that
body strongly recommending Mr..
Hanna's appointment to the vacant
senatorship.
The news that Gov. Bushnell had
reached the conclusion above stated
has been received with marked satisfac.
ton throughout the country. The SEN
timents of the leading republicans of
the country found expression in very
decided manifestations of approval.
From every state in the Union came
congratulatory dispatches. The great
statesmen of the nation, now in Wash
ington, received the information with
q unanimous feeling of satisfaction
and at once wired their congratula.
tions to Mr.. Hanna. The leading news
papers of the country gave Gov. Bush
nell's action an earnest and emphatic
Endorsement and the Cleveland press
report that congratulatory dispatches
were received by the hundreds at Mr..
Hanna's Office during several days
following the announcement of Gov.
Bushnell's decision.
As will naturally be expected by the
republican party of Ohio and the
country generally, the appointment of
Mr.. Hanna to fill the remainder of
Benator Sherman's term in the senate
will not limit his service in that body.
He will be candidate for election at
the coming session of the Ohio legisla-
tnre, and will also be o candidate for

Gets High, But Doesn't Drink.

The Clermont Courier in speaking of a
Batavia boy who is climbing church
steeples, domes and all kinds of sky
scrapers in Chicago, says:
Cade's daring is little short of positive
recklessness. One day he casually re-.
marked that he had stood on one leg on
the very pinnacle of the Crown Point
water works. The men jeered at him.
"All right boys, said Cade, I'll prove
it to you some day."
He waited for the opportunity and at
last it came when the Board of Trade
directors decided to tear down the fam.
GUS old tower. Cade went up to do the
work photographer was taken along.
Climbing to the very tip top, Cade de.
liberately grasped hold of the projecting
ends and, before even the photographer
could realize what he was contemplating
stood on his head. The photograph
of him, taken at an attitude of 1857 feet,
Cade still shows to admiring friends.
The feat was the nine.day wonder among
steeple climbers and effectually silenced

Asked if he ever got nervous Mr.. Cade
replied:

eaten my MONDAY lunch time and again
on the scaffolding of q church steeple

WARRINGTON, Feb 27.-In the house
Friday the house bill was passed pro-
viding for the adjustment of labor
troubles between carriers of inter state
commerce aud their employees. It re-
quires the commissioner of labor and
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission, in case of trouble between
a railroad company and its employees
to make an effort to settle it by con-
cilliation. Failing in this board of
arbitration is to take hold of the
matter. both parties to be bound by
its award. Senate bill prohibiting
the importation of impure and un-
wholesome tea was also passed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The sub
committee of the senate committee on
appropriations had the naval bill un-
der consideration Friday night and
will meet to make a final report to the
full committee Saturday. The senate
committee will not add any battleships
to the bill, though three of the 30-knot
torpedo boat destroyers will probably
be added to the bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb 27.-The commit
tee on elections of both president and
vice president and members Friday
heard further argument in the alleged
South Carolina election frauds.
DR.. Sampson Pope, independent can
didate for governor, characterized as a
great fraud the constitutional conven-
tion and reviewed the circumstances
attending it.
Mr.. Corliss said that the memorials
presented by Mr.. Murray and which
were the subject Of the hearing were
addressed ito the congress of the
United States," and asked Mr.. Pope if
he thought, under these circumstances
II it should not be joint, the senate
participating. Mr.. Pope replied that
the house committee. he thought,
could act indepe ndently, but individu-
ally he favored a joint investigation.
After further hearing the committee
went into executive session and de-
cided to submit the facts gathered by
them to the house with the recon-
mendation that the whole matter be
referred to the next congress. In view
Of its importance it was deemed un-
wise at this late day of the session to

tions depended entirely upon Ahs
public schools were the peoples col
leges and that they must be 90 en-
cient that all classes of children would
be drawn into them. He wanted the
children Of the poor and Of the rich TO
meet on footing Of equality in our
free common schools and become well
acquainted with each other before
meeting in the great battle Of life.
Though Mr.. Hanna is to-day one Of
the most conspicuous men in the ma
ton, yet he never sought prominence.
His habit has always been to suggest
important movements and then put
others forward to carry them out He
Is always the first to see what is to be
done, TO find the right man to do 1t and
hold himself in the background. His
present prominence is not due to any
desire on his part. He believed that
the election of Mckinley to the pre.<>
dency would rebound to the welfare
and prosperity of the American people
and he set about to accomplish it.
After the nomination he was at once
made chairman of the national repub-
lican committee, and of the executive
committee, and his work has since been
almost part of the history of the ma
tion.
The great political campaign, which
30 absorbed the attention of the nation
last summer was entirely conducted on
the republican side by Mr.. Hanna.
From beginning to end it was planned
by him, and every movement of i'm
portance was directed by him. It was
he who conceived the idea of having a
branch of the national headquarters at
Chicago, and that alone nearly broke
the backbone of the opposition. It
carried the war into the very heart of
the silver mems stronghold. It en-.
abled the committee to dispatch speak
ers anywhere in the west almost at a
moments notice, and placed the states
claimed to be safe for Bryan under any
circumstances at the very doors of the
republican managers.
While Mr.. Hanna was in this emf.
nent position before the eyes of the
whole country, he was still the same
unostentatious man that he had al.
ways been in private life; accessible to
the humblest individual, listening at
tentively to all who approached him,
and at the same time keeping watoh-
full eye on all the details of great ma
tional campaign.
