CLEVELAND, o., June Ex-senator Han
ma arrived home at noon to-day from Phil
adelphia. He was driven directly from the
station to his Office in the Perry-Payne
building. where he spent half an hour look
ing over his mail and attending to business
affairs. In an interview Mr.. Hanna said
he was well pleased with the ticket NOM
mated at Philadelphia and predicted the
election of Mckinley and Roosevelt by an
overwhelming majority. He denied en-
phatically that he had been compelled to
make terms with Messrs. Platt and Quay.
and added that II there had been fight at
all it resulted in his favor. He felt SAN
guine, he said, that New York would be
carried by the Republicans in the coming
presidential election. Mr.. Hanna said that
President Mckinley would make no
speeches during the campaign, except few
brief talks TO visiting delegations at his
home at Canton. where the chief executive
will spend his vacation. Governor Roose-
velt, the senator said, would probably take
the stump during the campaign and deliver
a number of speeches. Mr.. Hanna stated
that he expects to remain in Cleveland for
about a month. He said he had not de-
cided as yet whether the meeting of the
national executive committee would be held
in Cleveland or New York
While at Pittsburg to-day en- route from
Philadelphia to Cleveland Senator Hanna
talked at length. He is quoted as saying:
Il have been assailed on every hand by the
question as 10 what States we will win over
from the Democrats, and would like to
tell the newspapers and would like to have
them tell everybody in the country who is
interested in the campaign, that the grand
old party this year will go after it's op-
ponents wherever they are found. No
stronger ticket was ever placed in the
field. / would not like to predict the ma
jority that will be given to Mckinley and
Roosevelt, and 1 have not heard of General
Grosvenor having made any forecasts as to
that result of this campaign. However, we
will carry Kentucky, Goebel law or no
Goebe law. California will vindicate it
self. Up in the Northwest the Republicans
will have no difficulty in holding sway.
There is no doubt as to the turn things will
take in the East"
Asked as to his opinion of the result of
the fight in Nebraska, the senator replied:
1--WE will try hard to keep Bryan's State in
the righteous column, too" 1t will not be
an extraordinarily early campaign Senator
Hanna stated that very little would be done
for several weeks, and he seemed to imply
that the Republicans would wait on the
opening maneuvers of the Democrats be-
fore any active steps would be taken.
About Aug 1, he said, the issues of the
campaign will be clearly defined and the
national managers will then be ready to CO.
operate with the committees In the various
States. Sept. will see the red fire burn
ing and all the drums will be beating be-
fore fortnight later" was the senator s
comment, when questioned regarding the
time Of opening the campaign.
