HANNA'S BIG FIGHT.
The Senatorial Contest Already
Fairly Begun.

Columbus, Ohio, Dee 29.-For the next
/ three weeks and maybe more, the capital
of Buckcyedom will be the political storm
center of the United States, and toward
it will be directed the eyes of people of all
political parties interested in one of the
greatest battle for United States senator
ship that Ohio has ever experienced.
Although the legislature does not meet
until next Monday and the balloting. un-
der the law, cannot commence until an
other week from that date, naerly every
member of both branches of the legisla-
/ ture is already on the ground, together
with two or three good sized regiments
of hustling politicians. OF these good
majority are the adherents of the king of
commerce, who last year astonishcd both
his own party and its opponents by prov
ing himself one Of the most astute and
successful campaign managers that Amer
lean politics had ever known
1t is the same irony of fate that many
great public men the world over have cN-
perienccd at some period or other of their
careers that places Mark Hanna, who is
popularity designated as the man who
made a president" in a position where he
has to make the fight of his life for an
honor of minor Importance than that for
which he battled for others, and which,
moreover, is to he bestowed. not by the
people of the nation, but simply by those
Of his own commonwealth There is even
more irony in the fact that his battle is
not SO much against tremendous odds,
but simply for the bare handful of votes
necessary to secure his return to the sen
ate for the full period of six years.
/ The senator himself is on the ground
and will probably remain here until the
issue has been decided. He has little to
say for publication, however, save that
stands as the choice of the republicans
of Ohio as declared by them in conven-
ton assembled at Toledo. and that his
candidacy has been endorsed by all eX-
cept four counties in the safe. For his
opponents he has not hard word. The
republican caucus will probably be held
toward the end of the week.

Chief Samory is a west African chief
