AURELIUs, EMPEROR.

In spite of Mark Hanna's deprecat-
ing talk to the effect that it is entirely
too soon to discuss candidates for the
Presidency in 1904, evidence is not lack
ing to show that the launching by
Perry 8. Heath of the Hanna boom was
prearranged scheme. Recent advices
from Washington say that nearly every
member of the Republican National
Committee has written q hearty in
dorsement of Hanna as the logical Re-
publican candidate, and important Of
fceholders have done likewise. In adj
dition, the suggestion has received an
enthusiastic response from Hanna's in
huential acquaintance among the lead
ing business men of the North, or in
other words the trusts are solid for
HIM. This shows how the Repu bill
can wind is blowing. The interview
with Mr.. Heath, cabled from London,
has served to spread among the rank
and file of the Republican party the i'm
preston that the Ohio Senator will
be IN the race. This will make the
party managers slow to commit them
selves to anybody else until it is
known later on whether Hanna really
intends to enter the lists.
