Fnctionaiism in Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, June 1.-THE prospect
of the revival of factiouaIisrn in the Re
publican ranks in this county has en-
ragged Senator Hanna and today he gave
out an interview, denouncing the Repub-
Hcan County Committee, which is compos-
ed of so-caiIed Foraker Republicans.
Mr. Hanna is most emphatic in his dec
laration that ne will not permit the con
tinuance Of party strife which promises to
end in Democratic victory. He fears
that, if internal dissensions are carried
to the county convention, whIes. will as
sembIe on Thursday next to nominate
candidates for Representatives and Sen
ators in the next Legislature, as well as
a county ticket, there viii be a general
revolt against his party locally.
Despite his denunciation Of factfonalsm,
however, it is believed that there viii be
the liveIiest kind of fight in the con
Ee1tiOn on Thursday and it is said that
nobody has been frightened by his angry
statements
The Senator's statement concerning the
situation follows:
The methods of the Republican County
Committee can no longer be tolerated.
FactiouaIism must be stamped out here
at any cost The Republicans here are
thoroughly Disguised with McKissonism
and they insist that Secretary Golden
bergen and his committee capitulate and
surrender the organization to proper
hands This is Senator Foraker's fight,
and. if the election next fail is against us.
then Senator Foraker must shoulder the
blame.
The Republicans have but one weak
point in their column this year and that
Is the legislature. This. can be strength

The time is past when the present con-
