Then why should not he lay aside his
coyness and boldly declare that he is
entitled to the first place himself. that
he is weary of playing the humber
part OF Warwick and that the pres-

and are not mealy mouthed about say
ing so.
The Fairfield County (O) Republican
says:
While in Washington attending the inaugural
much impressed with the greatness of
Senator Hanna. He has been an important factor
in the first term of William Mckinley, and his
wisdom will be more apparent to the American
people in the second. He possesses the prescience
and wisdom that are absolutely necessary in the
management and solution of the momentous quess
tions of the day. The best citizens of the country
are beginning to regard him as the greatest man
in the land, next to the president. He is a safe
and conservative gentleman and would make as
safe president William Mckinley.
When the people come to know him, they will
esteem him as highly as the president He is for
the whole people, the masses well as the classes
The country has nothing to fear from the brainy,
wise and conservative Senator Marcus A. Hanna
If Senator Hanna were not an Ohio man, he
would be, without doubt the next president of
the United States. The candidate nominated for
president in 1904 by the Republican party will
not be an Ohio If it could be so, it would
be the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna.
Cheer For ohiOans.
That puts Senator Hanna clearly
before the people as a candidate. The
10 c,i,,n nv
hibition of the incurable modesty per-
tanning to the Ohio man, whether
statesman, editor or what not. The
Republican should cheer up. In the
great work of making Mark presi-
dent l suggest to The Republican
that there is precedent, well
established and well known, in
Marks favor, and it is a Democratic
precedent at that, for Jefferson, Madi-
son and Monroe, three Virginians,
served "a consecutive years and are
called in history the Virginia dy-
nasty" Mr.. Mckinley, an Ohioan,
when his present term expires will
have served only eight. so that there
are 16 other years which Ohioans could
serve and still be within the precedent.
That being the case, Mr.. McKinley's
service should not be bar to Sena-
tor Hanna's aspirations.
What's more, Marks nomination
would be hailed with delight by Demo-
Gratis from Maine to California, for if
we can't defeat him we can't defeat
anybody else. So that all The Fairfield
County Republican has to do is to line
up the Republicans for Marks nomina-
tion. will go bonds that the Demo-
Gratis will aid The Republican in its
laudable endeavors.
How natural the ancient Republican
battlecry of 'the old flag and an
appropriation" would sound in the
mouths of Mark and his cohorts-when
the ship subsidy bill and kindred meas
ures are remembered. No explanations
would be needed, for all men would
vehemently exclaim in the famous
words of Corporal Tanner, God help
the surplusp'
Are College Presidents Played Out:
One question which must greatly
perplex Senator Hanna and other Re
publican magnates is what to do with
college presidents and professors who
wickedly persist in advocating the doc
trines of the fathers and in pointing
out the rocks upon which the republic
is drifting with a full head of steam
on. Nothing teaches these collegians
anything President Andrews was
ousted from Brown for advocating BIZ
metallism. A professor was expelled
from Stanford university for express
ing patriotic sentiments. Their exam
pies ought to have terrorized others of
the profession into dumbness, but it
did not. President Arthur T. Hadley
of Yale has lately been gyrating around
in New York. expressing his fears that
unless the trusts are busted" an en-
pire or kingdom will be set up at Wash
ington in % years. This is simply aw-
full. Clearly the intelligence of the
country is massed against the Repub-
licans except at Chicago university,
where a professor with wonderful IN
genuity discovered a resemblance be-
tween one William Shakespeare. who
not only stole deer occasionally. but
who also purloined sundry dramatic
productions of Francis Bacon, and
John D. Rockefeller. petroleum philan-
thropist. Intelligence being against
Republicans. there is but one thing to
do, and that is to hang all college and
university presidents and professors,
disfranchise all persons who are able to
read and write and make it penal Of
fense to teach the alphabet to the ris-
ing generation.
If such brazen throated and brazen
checked scholars as Andrews and Had
ley are permitted to go on spouting
treason. the Republican party is for
