senator Hanna. cha,i,i, (, !.

The news. from Columbus, Ohio, makes
1t apparent that Senator Hanna can only,
fail of election to succeed shlmsslr
through the betrayal OF The party by Re-
publlcans. It IS clearly mamie st that
the solid support OF the Democratic
members for a fusion movement cannot
be had, and that several Republicans
who have been regarded as willing for
such an unholy alliance hayesbsen mis-
represented. Stfi
There is no doubt that IL party lines
are adhered to Mr.. Hanna will have a
clear majority of votes. onlylt basest
sort OF departure from party Integrity
can defeat him. From every standpoint
of party honor his election should be as
surcd, for his choice to d full term was
the main issue of the campaignlas fall,
and after a most remarkable struggle,
In which Mr.. Hanna fought the battle
almost single handed FORE reatiirmation
of the Republican principles which pre-
vailed in 1896, he carried the state, with
the understanding upon all eIdes that
such a victory meantsh!s return to the
senate. The forces OF free silver
throughout tile state were; arrayed
against him, no. so much because he was
Mark Hanna and the manager Of the ma
tlonal Republican campaign in! 1885, but
because he was the recognized candidate
Of the Republican party ,forsthe United
States senate and the advocate OF a
sound and honest currency.
This was admitted to be the Issue, and
everywhere over the state, from the
headquarters of the Pol5cratic commits
tee to the meetings Of Mr.. bryan, who,
was imported in the lastdays iof the con-
test. the fight against Hanna was her,
aided as the prelude to the campaign for
free silver and deptecla.ed currency in
1900. 1t was this fact that attracted the
attention OF the entire country to Mr..
Hanna's campaign. Parry principle was
at stake more than were Mr.. Hanna's
