genuine hard-fisted farmer, Mr.. De Ar
mond CDem., Mo- got the Oor and sub

With cutting irony he proceeded to
read and comment on some Of the tel
egrams of congratulatiOn sent to Mr..

those of President Mckinley. Com
menting on the presidents telegram, he
asked how the retu--I of Senator Han

except as an example to be avoided.
He said in the course Of his remarks
that Senator Hanna was the truest and
best exponent and representative Of
modern Republicanism.
