SENATOR HANNA
Is Confident of Reelection
Of Pres. Mckinley.
Republicans Everywhere Active and
Working for President.
Reports from All Sections Are Of the Nj ST
Gratifying Nature.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 30.-The Lead
er received from its Washington cor
respondent, tonight, the following
statement from Senator Hanna con-
corning the outlook for the coming
Presidential campaign:
LAS a result Of a careful statement
of the. situation | feel perfectly safe in
making the prediction at this time
that Mckinley will be reelected The
price Of the victory Will be much
harder and more constant an effort
from the time the campaign opens until
election day.
The Republicans should make the
same kind of fight they did in 1896.
There should be no cessation in their
cndeavor to elect their candidate and
their application and attention to the
details of the campaign must be
steady and unccasing.
The spirit of Republicans, this year.
is Of most gratifying kind At the
Ohio state convention held in Colum-
bus, last week. this spirit was mani
tested in plain and unmistakable
manner.
Senator Fairbanks. who has just re
turned from the Indiana convention
informs me that the Republicans of
his state possess the same inspiration.
This is true also Of Republicans in 9th
cr states, and all reports which | have
received along this line are to the same
effect. Evidence is plentiful that the
Republican party realizes the necessity
Of entering the campaign with deter
mination to win n victory.
In going over the list Of states that
cast their electoral votes for Mckinley
four years ago, do not see any which
will not do the same thing this yea"
unless il be Kentucky. That state |
am placing in the doubtful column. al
though We certainly propose making
every effort to carry it. | regard Mary
land as reasonably certain To remain
in the Republican column.
"Ecsidcs holdn- our own in practically
Ill the states that We carried in 1896. We
have reason to believe that the Rcpubli-
cans will carry Kansas South Dakota
and Washington. which went for Bryan

excellent of winning Idaho ana Montana.
