| London, Sept. 4.-Rejuvenated by q
course Of treatment at German baths
and summers visit to Europe, Uni
| ted States Senator Mark A. Hanna
has returned to London for few days
rest previous to sailing for the United
States on board the American line
steamer st. Louis on Saturday next.
| Senator Hanna is hurrying to Ohio to
participate in the opening of the repub-
| lican campaign at Akron. The zest
with which the senator is looking for
ward to the conflict is due to the fact
that he recognizes that the coming
campaign will not only furnish the
real answer to the question of the
country's Endorsement of the national
administration, but that behind the
candidacy Of Mr.. John r. Mclean for
the governorship of Ohio there Is an as
piration for the second place on the
democratic presidential ticket with Mr..
Bryan, and failing of election, fu-
ture contest for the United States sem
atorship from Ohio. In such a compete
ton Mr.. Hanna is anxious to partici-
pate because it means the opening of
the national campaign of 1900.
II do not concede,' Mr.. Hanna said,
that the congressional election in the
late Representative BANDS district in
Missouri last week afforded any test Of
American sentiment in relation 40 ma
tional issues, for the election of dem
ocrat was a foregone conclusion, and
the fact that the democrats are call
ing it a test case gives ground for the
suspicion that they made the majority
to suit themselves. In Ohio, however.
we have an opportunity to make an
open fight, and I am anxious to assist
all in my power in bringing the issue
to a successful conclusion The repub-
lican party, nationally and locally, has
no cause to fear the combat on the is
sues as now presented. Mr.. Mclean
had undoubtedly loaded his double
barreled fowling piece, and that word
has a peculiar Ohio meaning, for in
this contest he is looking both to the
vice-presidency and the United States
senatorship which, I understand, has
long been his ambition. 1t is evident
now that the democrats of Ohio as
we'll as of the nation are ready to make
the issue anti-expansion and free sill
ver."
President Mckinley, in his speech at
Pittsburg, has already outlined the
executive policy of expansion, and I
have no doubt as to what we will do in
congress in supporting that policy.
Bryan and Croker have already come
to an arrangement hoping to secure
the offices in 1900. but 1t is my own
opinion that the Philippine war will be
concluded and the congressional policy
determined before the first vote is cast
in 1900. I cannot see how, with Mr.
Mclean as candidate. the demo-
Gratis can say much about trusts" Sen
ator Hanna continued. THE free sill
yer issue Is evidently preferable to
them. That question has already been
threshed out in the United States.
The country is abundantly prosperans
and the only trouble not is to secure
facilities for more crops
and merchandise All over Europe I
have found evidences of the wisdom Of
our policy in maintaining the gold
standard and ith regard to the Philip
pine Islands. President McKinley's
speech on the latter subject will find a
ready response with the American peo-
pie, and am returning horne to renew
the fight firm in the belief in the sue
cess of republican principles"
