Cleveland, Ohio, May 6.--Former Mayor

says Senator Hanna is the greatest po-
litical boss in this city state. and Ma
tion. The charge was made because of
recent utteranco of the senator that he was
opposed to bossism.
I'm his own mind" said the x-mayor,
Hanna believes that any man who does
not bow to Hannasm. bossism, and DOODLE
ism is against the National administra-
tion and President Mckinley. He objects
to the opposition of the people, because he
is for Hanna. and Hanna alone; because he
thinks that he Is the whole republican
party and the sum total OF the National
administration. Every one that speaks out
truthfplly about him ia considered an en-
envy OF the administration. Hanna today
is at the head OF corrupt syndicate COM
posed OF himself. the Belmonts, and few
other corruptonists. who are seeking to
put the entire business OF the country on
trust basis and to make all the ends OF
the government subservient to the trust,
OF which they are the head.
The time has come when Mark Hanna
and his trust association must be elimi-
mated from the politics of the country.
not only for the welfare of the admins
tration, but the welfare OF the republican
party, and the citizens Of the country as
we'll. l have every reason TO believe that
President Mckinley has long ago become
disguised with the tactics OF this would be
boss OF creation. and is seeking an early
opportunity to rid the administration OF
his influence. This Hanna combination.
however. has so deeply interviewer itself
into all the different branches of the gov
eminent that | believe even the president
will be powerless to act, and that nothing
short OF the power OF the people will he
