The Ohio Senator Whoops 'Em UP
for His Party.
ExLorts Republicans to Renewed Elk
ertLon In the Interest of the
New Policies of the Adj
ministration.

Senator Mark Hanna spoke vigorously
upon the issues now before the party
and urged republicans to renewed eff
fort in the direction Of harmony and
support of the administration. He said:
| "As your chairman has said. the repub-
licans of Ohio and the republicans Of the
| United States are confronted to-day with
many new propositions and issues thrown
around us like tangled grass In our path
| way by the democratic party. attempting
| to raise new issues upon every move OF
| policy made by the government seeking
some issue. some opportunity. to manifest
| their opposition to the policy OF the repub-
| lican party.
"I say the spirit of the hour is one of
| absolute fearlessness on the part OF
| republicans We are conscious, as your
| chairman has said, of having fulfilled every
| promise made. We took this country into
| our hands and under our care after four
! years of the greatest vicissitudes through
| which we have ever passed In history. At
| our convention In ST. Louis we announced
tho policy and the doctrine of the repub->
| iican party upon which had been builded
tho material interests for 20 odd years.
Party Pledges Redeemed.
1--WE promised such reforms and eco
| nomic measures as would produce material
| benefits to the country, and We went far
ther and said that we will go beyond even
| the ideals OF our fathers in the great re-
suits which must come from the perpetua-
ton of such policy. The best evidence
| of the success of that policy Is in what we
| have accomplished and achieved as affect
| Ing the material interests OF this country.
| "Your chairman made some statements
| with reference to the growth OF our export
| trade Why! He did not state half OF 1t.

| United States during the last century pre-

balance to the credit of the United States
| In our trade with the world. In three
years of the administration of President
William Mckinley the net balance as
shown by the books of the United States
treasury is 81, 400, 10000 Great applause
and cries of "Good"O 1t is 81 100. .000. 900
more accomplished in those three years
than had been accomplished in 100 years
preceding. (More cheering.) And then,
looking into the face of such results, re-
peat your chairmans words: DO we want
| to change?
do we want any different business COM
binations for us? Do we want any differ
ent policy for the American people than
that which is building up and making us
the greatest, the richest and the strongest
| nation on earth? The laws of commerce,
regulated by the best economic measures.
are as infallible as the laws of nature.
| I'VE have proved to this country and
to the world that our policy of economics
| is irresistible and muse succeed, and in
the few years of trial that we have had
| under this administration we have proved
that, in the ratio of progress every year,
looking ahead to our enormous wealth and
| gain, we shall be made stronger and be
given far better and wideS opportunities
to do good in the march of Christianization
| and civilization of the world.
1.-The results of the war with Spain are
not accldental. The destiny which has been
written for this country must be fulfilled
In the natural order of things. 1t was but
one step forward In the direction of the
duty set for us to do, and no matter what
Influences may be thrown around us to
impede our progress 1t cannot and will
not stop (Renewed cheering)
II do not care whether you call IL i'm
perialism or expansion. The destiny OF
this country Is written, and any party or
combination of men that attempts by any
subterfuge or makeshift in politics to stop
the power and progress of this nation
will go down under 1t just as the demo-
cratic party has gone down. (Renewed
cheering)

"We are proud of our record: we are
proud of our business experience, and we
are glad to have had the opportunity to
demonstrate to the world that the policy
and business principles of the American
people meant the civilization and Chris
tianization of the whole world. Crrcmen-
dous cheering) 1t Is that success in ma
terial things which gives us that oppor-
tunity and makes 1t possible to accomplish
these great results.
Now that we are embarking In this
new policy. and now that this government
Is confronted with the responsibilities
which are open to us, we ask the repub-
iican party in Ohio, as we did four years
ago. to sound the keynote to the balance
