ONE or HiNNI'S TRICKS.

Hanna has turned little trick un

the game he has played is discredit-
able goes without saying That 1t

who has held the Office Of chief of
bureau statistics for the last five years
and demonstrated rare capacity, has
been removed. Giving the record Of
Statistisn Ford, the Pittsburg Post

offices, and with all who con-
cern themselves with eeonom-
ie subjects. Hanna has removed
this capable officer and has put in his
place one Austin, an obscure Washing
ton man, who knows nothing what

In the campaign Of 1896 Austin was
hired by Hanna TO compile campaign
dodgers filled with misinformation
