MIR. HANNA'S CABLE.
How the People Are Interested-How Glad
the Bankers Must BE to Read
What He Has to Say.

the Bankers Must BE to Read
What He Has to Say.
IT cannot see how with Mr.. Mclean
candidate the Democrats can say
much about trusts" says Senator Han
ma, as reported in a cable dispatch.
"The free silver issue is evidently pre-
ferrable to them. That question has
already been thrashed out of the United
States"
If this is the case Mr.. Hanna Will
have no occasion to go into the presi-
dents rooms of the banks of Cincin-
natl or to have the bank officials meet
him at hotels, and demand money Of
them for campaign expenses. The
bankers Of Cincinnati are getting their
news from first hands-from Mr.. Hanna
himself. 1t must be most gratifying to
them to be no longer threatend with
the removal of deposits, or other chas-
tisement which federal influence may
inflict, If they don't contribute, and
contribute big, to the campaign. Those
who have the deposits now will not be
afraid that they will be given elsewhere.
There will be no threats to this one: no
inducements held out to the other. The
bankers will hail this with delight, of
course. 1t. frees them from demands
from the club. This is good news for
them.
1t appears that Mr.. Hanna is through
with the money question. He says
that it has been thrashed out; that it is
no longer an issue; plays no part in the
campaign of today. Then, of course,
the question of colonial possessions and
trusts are to be the issues, with imper-
ialism a prominent figure.
Mr.. Hanna forgets another issue that
is considered by others a prominent
figure in this campaign. 1t is the ques-
ton of Hanna and Cox. He does not
see how, with Mr.. Mclean a candidate,
the Democrats can say much about
is most fitting thing to go into as
deeply as possible, and to develope in all
it's parts. The Independent Republicans
and the Democrats of Ohio are prepared
we believe, to discuss Hanna, Cox, the
trusts, imperialism, the colonial pos
sessions, and no alliance with England
The money question no longer, he
says, cuts any figure. Mr.. Hanna Is
talking from long distance over long
distance telephone. His stay in Eng
land and on the continent has put him
out of touch with the people of the
United States. However, it will not
take many days after his return here
to learn the situation. He will find the
people of Ohio in earnest in wanting the
istration-President Mckinley
to run himself. He will find the people
in the cities anxious to get rid of the
bosses. He will find a disposition on
the part Of the voters all over the state
to represent themselves, or to send men
who will not undertake individual
schemes as a substitution for honest
representation of the people He will
find tax payers and men OF interest tired
of the claptrap of professional politi-
clans, who see self and self only.
The people of Ohio will welcome Mr..
Hanna There are many things they
want to tell him. They want to talk to
him for about sixty or seventy days,
and in that time they will tell him their
story; how tired they are Of respectable
Republicans being pushed aside to make
place for men who are absolutely
machine men, and nothing else; how
tired they are that federal offices, feder-
al appointments and federal decora-
tions are to be given out to political
favorites as a compensation for services
rendered and services expected. All
this, and much more. Mr.. Hanna will
learn when he returns.
The Enquirer extends him a most
cordial welcome to his native state.
