HAKKA As POLITICAL FIGURE.

The unanimous reelection of Senator
Hanna as chairman of the national re-
publican committee. after he had declined
to be a candidate for that position. is a
significant mark of confidence in the abN-
ity and integrity of the man. From the
time Mr.. Hanna first assisted his life long
friend, Mr.. Mckinley, in securing the
nomination for the presidency in 1896, and
Eent his energies to the election of the
national repul. AN ticket that year, he
has been the most abused man on the
American continent.
His only crime consisted in being a sue
cessful business man, after the manner
of thousands of his type, yet his entry
into active political life was pictured as
an offense against God and man. With
the hope of injuring the prospects of Mr..
Mckinley the reptilian press opened their
mud batteries on Mr.. Hanna, and from
that time to the present every effort has
been made to make it appear that it was
a disgrace to be seen talking to the chair

salaried sketch artists could devise were
published, picturing Mr.. Hanna as little
less than a cunning, brutal thug in
human form. No portrayal of pen or
pencil was spared to impress upon the
public mind the vileness imputed to the
Ohio leader.
TIL miserable tactics which advertised
Mr.. Blame to the world as the 'atatooed"
man, and hounded that great orator and
statesman to his grave. were employed
with still greater viciousness agains1
Mr.. Hanna. But Mr.. Hanna is a practi'
cal man of affairs. He kept the ever
tenor of his way, managing the campaign
of 1896 With consummate skill, paving thu
way for the future political recognition
of himself. His enemies followed him
INTO the senate. feeling that their owl
success in a political way depended il
large measure on their ability to blackes
the character and despoil the good nam
of the great republican tactician.
Mr.. Hanna, however, has lived dow
his detractors, and despite his early re
fusal to continue in the active work of
presidential campaign, he is unanimous
delegated to the important functions (
the national Craftsmanship. His endors:
ment by the republican party is PR

and alive to the character OF the bourbt
