The last politician whose glories We
will recount is Mark Hanna, born in
Ohio &c years ago. The responsibilities
of his carly davs made a man of him.
At the time of life when other youths
are addicted to the mimic habit" he
had thirst to know The how of things.
He studied about coal mines and then
bought them. Responsibility put iron
into him and gave him the luck stone
of his life-the habit of industry. Men
worked for him from western Penn
owned coal mines, foundries, forges
and smiths, railroads and steam ships.
With so many in his employ, strikes
were of frequent occurrence. At one
time party of strikers were defended
by a young lawyer named Mckinley,
who did his work so well, though de-
feating Hanna, a friendship began that
is now famous in history. The busi-
ness man in politics was his institu
tion. Twenty years ago he carried a
torch in many parades. In the Nat
ional convention that nominated Har-
rison, Hanna appeared as Sherman S
hpolitical manager He was to Sher-
man then what he was to Mckinley in
1896. The outcome was interesting,
and politicians accustomed to depend
ing on brass bands, flags waving, ora
tory and beating of tom toms to
swarm their bees were astonished to
see campaign use the calculating eX-
act business like methods of a general
manager of railroad. He is intensely
human, enjoys joke and good dinner
and stands in the last ditch with a
friend and fights his enemies to the
death. The relations existing between
Hanna and his friend VIM. Mckinley
are particularly interesting. The
popular notion of these relations is
received largely from newspaper car
toons. Many voters, in their mind =
eve, see Hanna tramp noisily into the
White House every morning, grufly
