The Hon. Marcus Alonxo Hanna is
typical of very much that is interesting
and worth while in this campaign. Upon
his rise into great prominence In national
politics In lSss Hanna in some way be-
came the butt OF anti disqualification, par
tieularly the wild end Of II that shrieks at
wealth and strikes at every head that
wears "a prosperity hat. Hanna was IA
yiled as the incarnation OF money, as its
arch producer In business and IT'S boss
manipulator In politics. Money got him
his high political place. Money won cleo
tien for him, and as the representative OF
financial enterprise and success he de-
served political damnation. lie was the
model for oarieatura throughout Bryan

dressed IN a suit Of dollar marks. always
with an air intended for offenaiveuess OF

Gen. Mcclellan on Militarism.

George b. Mcclellan was a Demo
crat whose utterances ought to have
some weight With the Democrats Of
today, who are conducting the present
campaign on much the same lines as
the campaign in which Mcclellan was
a candidate for president OF the United
States. in opposition to President
Lincoln The present Democratic argu-
ment is that an army of one hundred
thousand men is a menace to the liber-
ties of the people. Mr. Bryan, par
ticularly. lays great stress on the dan
gers OF "miltarism," II the army is
kept up to the standard necessary to
police properly our new possessions.
and to keep the coast defenses from GO
ing to decay. Gen. George B. McClel-
Ian had seen an army OF one million
men under arms in this country. and
he knew what the army OF the United
States was. both In its regular and vol
unteer establishments. Yet this is
the manner In which Gen. Mcclellan re-
PEELED like ISLANDERS on the army Of
the United States:
"All OF the incidents Of the past prove
that the army win never have the dis
position to 1eopardize the free institutions
OF the country. Our nation would be
safe. indeed. for all time. did the mass OF
its citizens place upon It's institutions the
same intelligent appreciation as that In
which they are held by the army, and
were honor. integrity and respect for the
law az much a rule among the people rs
they are In the regular army. which has
given too many proofs of heroism. OF in
tegrity, of devotion to the country TO be
regarded as source of danger. On the
contrary he who understands its history
must regard 1t with pride and satisfaction
as one of the chief ornaments OF the
nation, as a school wherein are taught
and practced the virtues OF valor. self
denial, obedience and patriotism, and as
an institution which has never called the
blush OF shame 10 the face OF an Amer
lean"
This is the true estimate which the
people OF the United states. politics
aside. put upon the army OF the United
States. Political exigencies may, for
tHt HsoihtHtf ttf'Ft stN tfNA''~A"ss~
party to follow the lead OF Bryan in
his present assaults upon the American
army. but In the future It Is safe to
say that II win prefer TO be judged by
the utterances ~ its former great
leader. rather than by the ISLANDERS Of
Mr.. Bryan.
Both OF these men judge the army In
the light Of their own experience in II
and service with H. II can hardly be
questioned. even by the most ardent
Brydnite. that Gen. Mcciellan's OPP
portunities to acquire Information upon
the subject were somewhat better than
those which have been afforded Col
Bryan. Their Information and their
views upon the subject differed az wide
ly as dld their military careers.
