ings Mr- Hanna IS consulting not only
with ms own leaders, but with dissat-
i-hrd Democrats. To-day he had a quar-

committee which was sidetracked by Nc

Revolt Against the senator.
Mr.. Hanna, who has emerged triunnh-
ant from every contest in which he has
been engaged, asserted tonight that he
would win out again. His party asso-
claies profess unbounded confidence in his

which confront him. He admits despite

come nom the Republican ranks.
IL Is a mistake TO suppose that this
Jones vote is confined to the laboring eIe-
NEST 1t Is 10 large degree an express
sion OF revolt against Hanna. Men are
going 10 vote for Jones who have
no sympathy with his theories. and
stiu less do they believe that Jones ought
10 be elected. They are, however. dis
sausfed with Hanna. In a stationery
store to-day 1 overheard three we'll
dressed gentlemen say to each other in
casual conversation that they had always
voted the Republican ticket, but that on
next election day they proposed to vote
lOi Jones. A prominent manufacturer
said to-day that nearly all his men intend

Although tais feeling is prevalent, Mr.
