London, July 1.-Senator Hanna com
pleted the first ten days of his stay in
England at Windsor, where he witnessed
military review this afternoon and
caught his first glimpse of the Queen.
He has enjoyed London immensely, and
his health has been so greatly benefited
that he has postponed his visit to Paris
and Aix-les Baines for another wook.
Il am delighted with outdoor life in
England" Mr.. Hanna said to a represent
ative of the Associated Press to-day, land
the wise methods. born of experience,
which teach the leaders in politics and
business 10 limit their working hours and
take every opportunity for rest and re-
action.
Il have not talked American politics
with English newspaper men, but am
free to say that I believe the old ticket
will be renominated by the Republicans
next year, and that it will be reelected.
I anticipate little opposition to the first
part of this proposition and 1 have no
doubt the American people viii decide
the latter part as they did in 1896.
Prosperity the Battle Cry.
the fact that the United States is now
entering on a renewed era OF prosperity.
Every promise of the Republican party has
been kept, and every prediction fulfilled
There is not man in the United States
to-day out of work who wants work. This
is the normal condition Commercial
prosperity is based on confidence, and the
only thing which can destroy the conf
dence now prevailing is a change of ad-
ministrauon."
Are there persons who manifest a
spirit of dissatisfaction with the course
of events in the Philippines?" the senator
was asked.
ITO my mind" he replied, "the condi-
tions there are largely of our own max
ing, in delaying the annexation bill.
SO far as the Democratic party is con-
cerned l believe it was never so much at
sea as az present. The South is tenacious
to lis free silver convictions, and SO are
many of the trans-AItssouri states. These
are still under the sway of Bryan's per-
sonal influence, and will do all possible 10
renominate him and reaffirm the free oil-
yer platform of 1886. The power and wealth
Of the Democratic party is centered in
New York. Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Croker and
the rest felt they We're invincible. They
entered the Chicago conventl9n with con-
fidence and undsciplined for the battle.
To my mind these conditions have now
changed The Democratic chairman, Sen
ator Jones, is i'll in Europe. Bryan's only
weapon is free silver, and the strength and
weakness Of that weapon is now fully real
lied. Senator German has seen the er-
ror of his ways, 1 think and the Eastern
Democrats viii make a great effort to Sc
cure a new issued, and if possible, a new
man.
Question of Trusts.
1.-The trouble about the antitrust move
ment is that they cannot make the trusts
a political issue. So far as amassing
wealth in a manner to injure the public
is concerned, the Republican party is just
as opposed 10 it as the Democrats.
THE Democrats would like to use the
anti-eXpansion idea, and possibly Admiral
Dewey, but that combination would not
do, and Admiral Dewey is so big that he
would not permit his reputation as one of
the greatest admirals of his time, to be
used for any political purpose. Assuredly
the Democrats are at sea.
Personally, I would like to fight the old
fight again-free silver. However, the
lines of battle are drawn and you will
see the American people determined to fol-
