VIETs OF HANNA,
Expresses His Opinion of Bryan's
Speech of Acceptance.

| Boston, Aug. 9. - Senator Mark A.
Hanna of Ohio, manager of the Republic-
an campaign, is in this city, being accom-
panied by Cornelius N. Bliss of New
York, treasurer of the Republican ma
tional committee
II have come to meet the leaders and
prominent men of the Republican party
here and confer with them on the .situa-
tion," he said when asked about the pur-
pose of his visit. The Republican lead
ers will leave tonight on their return to
New York.
Senator Hanna, when urged to make
statement of the Republican prospects in
the country at large, said: .'It is impos-
sible to make a careful, intelligent pre-.
diction at the present time. The coun-
try has not yet become awakened, ana
the people need stirring up
OF MIR. Bryan's speech he remarked:
II have read it through from beginning
TO end ! don't suppose Mr.. Bryan cares
much what think of his utterances, but
if his friends are satisfied with his speech
l certainly am
In reply TO Il question as to the Ger
man vote Senator Hanna continued.
Il certainly don't anticipate that such
statements and arguments as are use
will have much effect upon the Germans
| would not insult their intelligence by
supposing that they would be influenced
to take such view of the future of the
republic because of the policies of the adj
ministration as the Democrats would
have them take"
Mr.. Hanna added that the speech mighs
serve purpose in stimulating the peoplt
to read the history of their country anG
ascertain whether some of the great mer
whom Bryan had quoted really held sucI
views as he had ascribed to them.
Il think" said the senator, "that thu
speech was put forth as a feeler and was
devoted to the line it took in order chiefly
that Mr.. Bryan might see whether the
country took the bait.'
