Mark Hanna Talks About Republic an
Prospects.

Prospects.
Senator Hanna, the Republican
national chairman has been in England
for about two weeks, and at London
last Saturday, he gave out an inter-
view for home consumption.
81 am delighted with outdoor life in
England" Mr.. Hanna said to repre-
sentative of the Associated Press today,
land with the wise methods, born Of
experience, which teaches the leaders
in politics and business to limit their
working hours and take every oppor-
tunity for rest and recreation.
81 have not talked American politics
with English newspaper men I; but
am free to say that l believe the old
ticket will be renominated by the Re-
publicans next year, and that it will
be reelected. 1 anticipate little op-
position to the first part of the propo-
sition, and have no doubt the Amer
ican people will decide the latter part
as they did in 1896.
"My reason for this belief is based
on the fact that the United States is
now entering on renewed era of pros
perity. Every promise of the Repub-
lican party has been kept. Every
prediction has been fulfilled. There is
not man in the United States today
out of work who wants to work. This
is the normal condition. Commercial
prosperity is based on confidence, and
the only thing which can destroy the
confidence now prevailing is change
of administration"
care there any persons who manifest
a spirit of dissatisfaction with the
course of events in the Philippines 7"
the senator was asked.
He replied "To my mind the con-
ditions there are largely of our own
in delaying the annexation bill.
$50 far rs the Democratic party is
concerned / believe it was never so
much at sea as at present. The south
is tenacious to its free silver convic-
tions, as are many of the Trans.M Mis-
souri, states. These are still under the
sway of Bryan's personal influence and
will do all possible to renominate him
and the free silver platform of 1896.
The power and wealth of the Demo.
cratic party is centered in New York.
Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Croker and the rest
felt they were invincible. They enter
ed the Chicago convention over.cont-
dent and undiciplined for the battle.
To my mind these principles have now
changed. The Democratic chairman,
Senator Jones, is i'll in Europe. Bry-
ans only weapon is free silver and the
strength and weakness of that weapon
is now fully realized. Senator German
has seen the error of his ways, 1 think,
and the eastern Democrats will make
a great effort to secure new issue and
if possible, a new man.
"The trouble about the antitrust
campaign is that they cannot make
trusts political issue. So far as
amassing wealth in a manner to injure
the public is concerned, the Republi-
can party is just as opposed to it as
the Democrats.
"The Democrats would like to use
the anti.expansion idea and possibly
Admiral Dewey, but the combination
would not do and Admiral Dewey is so
big that he would not permit his repu-
tation as one of the great 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 against free sill
YER; but, however, the lines of battles
are drawn, you will see the American
people determined to follow the course
the president has laid down."
