an as to make room for Hanna. or
course, those hypocrits ,sugsr-coated the
nil that the old man was to take.
He was wanted to 90 into the
Cabinet to become secretary OF
State. and thus "round off his political
career. He was no longer equal to
hard work and his memory had totally
failed him. To put him in the Cabinet
was either to make him a cipher by
having somebody else do the work,
OF to expose his senile deficiencies. TIC
this conspiracy, of which Hanna was
the author and beneficiary, the Presi-
dent became party. Sherman was
manoeuvred out of the Senate and
manoeuvred into the Cabinet, and then
after q year or two of service, ne was
mauoeuvred out again. Other favor
ties were to be rewarded and were I'M
paiient. The old man was now turneo
out to grass and allowed ample time &c
r. fleet on the treschery and iugra'i'
tude of his political associates. In al
history, even in all Ohio history, there
il no more signal illustration OF the
bupco game in politics. Mark Hanna
the boss of the republican party today
is the man who engineered the whole
bnsipess and rose to Office upon the
ruin and humiliation of his political
ally and benefactcr. The great Fog
lish poet, Shakespeare, makes Cardinal
Wclsey, after he had been discarded
at the close of long term OF service
saw. I'll had served my God with one
half the zeal l served my king, hi
would not 10 mine old age have left
me to the mercy of my enemies" Ifsucf
reschery could be practiced toward

HAi hA'iEr HARRISON, speaking
VI '"o no John Sherman, says: ii
I"V JIelt that it was great pity that
Mr. Sherman could not have closed his
career as member of the Senate"
Mr.. Harrison could easily tell the story
why Mr.. Sherman did not close bis
career in the u. S. Senate, but be will
not tell it. The story is one of the
most disgusting In the annals OF repub-
lcan political turpitude. We do not
endorse or approve Mr.. Sherman's po-
litical career, neither do we propose at
this hour wheo the breath has just left
his body to arraign it. But all men
know that he was man of distinguish
ed ability and one OF the greatest lead
ers OF the republican party for more
than generation. They owed much
to him. DE was in the Senate by the
voice OF the Ohio republicans. He had
been defeated in his ambition to be

greatly decayed when Mckinley was
elected, there was no call for bis retire
ment and no necessity for his doing
much work. He was getting alonl
fairly well. Mark Hanna, however
wanted his place. Mr.. Sherman's tern
had not expired and would not expire
for years. So the Ohio intriguers-all
