Notes of the Campaign

THE REAL HANNAH was a great
 show, and worth coming 500 miles to | see-Congressman Billy Lorimers $ great one-ring campaign circus, with
 bands and glees and a genuine lady i chorus. the great republican elephant doing his most nimble and captivating tricks, the long reared, praying ass, the great American "hoodlum," fierce and absolutely untamsd; the unshorn and unlaundered wildman, supposed to have | escaped from Kankakee: the human monkeys, the performing candidate, and last, but not least, the only world renowned, incomparabl=, and almost i unbelievable Marcus Aurelias Hanna, junior senator from Ohio, clothed in | thousand dollar bills, and fed on infant trusts broiled and done in brown gra- ". Or else not. It seemed a pity that only about 5000 people could see it. But joking aside it was better than the Barnum or Forepaugh variety for anyone looking for real human in teresrs s. and preferring the genuine to the sham battle. It was no gild5d show: there was not quite so much sawdust and calcium as Barnum would have furnished, but i6 was no hippo
 
 intervals Of ten minutes Were the real hing, and the clown who punctuat5d d the moments of comparative quiet with ribald jest and more or less vulgar comment was a genius atI-eXtempori- zation. The talking match between the golden-hair5d Billy and the AIS mili- tant democrats on the rear seats was an event to make Mary Ellen Lease 1rar ofs-S S,,s BLL one gem, one picture which should be immortalized with the pencil of a Hogarth and the brush of a Dore, was the spectacle of Hanna making a speech to that audience of stock yards democrats. His friends in Ohio will rad about it. and his colleagues in the senate will hear about it; but none will believe or know the whole truth Those who have seen him in the sen ate and in the marbls room, pa.e Pneumatic, phlegmatic, would never recognize the orator in Billy's ten.; and those who beheld him Saturday night pacing up and down the rickety platform, laundering forth great chest ton5s which would not be drowned sweat pouring from his face in streams, silencing and holding half that audi ence of grimy, pipe-smoking workmen while the other half continued to hiss and roar-those who beheld this dis play of strength and dominating per sonality would never believe the other story, or picture to them,selves the si- lent, hobbling, reserved solon of the Millionaires' Club" It was a revela- tion of the real Hanna, and shows a lit tie of what is underneath the husks of a president maker. The audience which he faced was filled with hatred for the ideas which th5y believed him to represent. They came there for the purpose of bowling him down. They howled and he talked, and the pantonc.me was so convincing that they stopped to catch a f=w words, and then the words were so interesting that they paused for the sentence. and the sentence seemed fair. and they waited for another. Back and forth the battle ragged; now it seemed that the speaker would be overwhelmed with the flood of vituparation and sound; he would pause, telling ,he shouters to make good use of their time, as he would be ready to go on in a minute. Then again he would seem to conquer the en- tire audience and silence would almost be attained when tha yell of 'Rah for Bryan" would lead the way for an other avalanche of roaring.
 Hanna talked for nearly an hour. Once he paused while the police called time on a fight and induced the par ticipants to adjourn to the rear of the tent. Not only did he talk, but his speech was heard by the majority of those present. When the bowling in creased in volume the men left their S ats and gathered around closer to the platform. They listened because they saw that this man neither fearad nor shrank from them. He talked plainly and with a fierce earnestn5ss which would not be refused. Here was q man of strength to be respected, a man who knew men, and men of their sort, and who talk to them in their own language. He did not underesti- mate their intelligence; he did not pat ronize; he did not juggle high-sOunding words and phrases, or present beauti- full line of talk about nothing. He came there to do business with them, and it was evident that he would do it. He told them at the start, quietly and without temper, that he would make his talk if he stayed th=re until day light: and in spite of the AIS militant Bryanites on the back benches he kept his promise. Once he inquired how much the shOuters were paid by II arst's American, and there was a shout from the entire crowd which made the rest of the noise seem like d quaker meeting.
 It was a great show and Hanna was only one number on tn programme.
