HANNA ON THE OUTLOOK.
Mckinley viii Win. but Republicans
Must Work a. Hard as i'm Isg6.

Senator ". A. Hanna, chairman OF the
Republican National Committee. regards
the outlook for his p2rtys success at the
election next November as highly salts
factory. Discussing ,he situation last
night the national chairman said 70 the
Washington correspondent OF the Cleve-
land leader:
As result of a careful study Of the
situation, / feel perfectly safe tn making
the prediction at this time that Mckinley
viii be reelected. There is no way OF FIX
uTtng how the Republican party can lose
IN the coming contest il it puts It's shsuI-
der TO the wheel and Is not imbued with
spirit of Overconfidence in the success
OF the ticket. The price of the victory
VIII be much hard and constant effort
from the time the campaign opens until
election day. The Republicans should
make the same kind OF a fight that they
did in 1896. There should be no cessation
IN their endeavor TO elect their candi-
dates, and their application and attention
TO the details Of the campaign must be
steady and unceaSing. They should go
INTO the contest or the presumption that
hard work is absolutely essential TO vic
tory.
The spirit Of the Republicans this year
Is OF a most gratifying kind At the Ohio
state convention. held in Columbus last
Week this spirit was manifested in a
pam, unmistakable manner. The dele
gates even then were prepared for the
great political battle which soon will
begin and II was clear that they will go
INTO 1t with great enthusiasm. Senator
dlrpanks, who has just returned from
the indiana State convention, informs me
tnat the Republicans of his State possess
the same inspiration. This is true. also
OF Republicans in other States and all
reports which l have received along this
me are to the same effect Evidence is
plentiful that the Republican party all
over the country realizes fully the neces-
slty OF entering upon the campaign with
earnestness and determination to win q
handsome victory.

cast their electoral vote for Mckinley
