POLICY DEMANDS SUPPORT.

London, Sept. 4-Rejuvenated by a
course of treatment at German baths
and a summer visit to Europe, Sena-
tor Mark A. Hanna has returned to
London for a few days rest previous
to sailing for the United States on
board the st. Louis, Saturday Sena-
tor Hanna is hurrying to Ohio to par
ticipate in the opening of the republi
can campaign at Akron. From a
conversation with Senator Hanna, the
correspondent here of the Associated
Press gathered that the senator's look
ing forward to the conflict in Ohio, is
due to the fact that he recognizes that
the coming campaign will not only fur
niSh the real answer to the question of
the country's Endorsement of the ma
tional administration, but that behind
the candidacy of John r. Mclean for
the governorship of Ohio, there is an
aspiration for the second place on the
Mr.. Bryan and, failing of election, a
future contest for the senatorship from
Ohio.
Mr. Hanna is anxious to participate
because it means the opening of the
national campaign of 1900 81 do not
eoncede," Mr. Hanna said, that the
congressional election in the late Rep
reSentative BANDS district in Missouri
last week, affords any test of American
sentiment in relation to national issues,
for the election of a democrat was
foregone conclusion. In Ohio, how
ever, we have an opportunity to make
an open fight, and l am anxious to as
sist all in my power in bringing the
issue to successful conclusion. The
republican party nationally and local
ly, has no cause to fear the issues now
presented. Mr.. Mclean has undoubt-
edly loaded his double barrelled fowling
piece, and that word has a peculiar
Ohio meaning, for in this contest he is
looking to the vice presidency, and the
United States senatorship, which | un-
derstand has long been his ambition,
1t is evident now that the democrats
OF Ohio as well as the nation, are
ready to make the issue anti-expansion
and free silver. Ready to make use
OF the anti-expansion and free silver
issues just as Gen. Hancock used the
tariff issue in 1890, that is, seek to
make local issues of them
Ihey will use each stock in whatever
part they think it will fight best, free
silver in the southwest and anti-expan-
sion in New England. President McKin-
ley in his speech at PittSburg has al
expansion, and l have nc doubt as to
what we will do in c2ngre ss in support.
ing that policy. Bryan ana Croker have
already come to an arrangement hopr
ing to secure the offices in 1900. but it is
my own opinion that the Philippine war
will be concluded and tfne congressfon-
al policy determined before the first
vote is cast in 1900
Il cannot see how, with Mr.. Mclean
as candidate, the democrats can say
much about trusts" Senator Hanna
continued. The free silver issue is evil
IDENTIFY preferable to them. That ques-
ton has already been threshed outin the
United States. The country is abundant
ly prosperous, and the only trouble now
lis to secure transportation facilities for
more crops and merchandise. All over
Europe have evidences of the wisdom
of our policy in maintaining the gold
standard. and with regard to the Phil
ippines, President McKinlcy's speech on
the subject will find q ready response
with the American people, and 1 am re-
turning home to renew the fight in be-
lief of the success of the republican
party"
