CONFIDENCE.

The Closest Adviser of the Late Presi- dent Declares That Conditions Will Continue = The Buffalo Platform"

Cleveland, O., Sept 26.-''l knoW that President Roosevelt is determined to carry out the policies advocated by | President Mckinley I know that our | new president is sincere in every word l he uttered to that effect at Buffalo. I I know that he means to its full pur- port every word of like effect that he has uttered since. Not only the repui'- lican party. but all the nation, may re- pose the fullest confidence in President Roosevelt. The peoplt who mourn Me Kirsey may turn their faces to the fu- ture with assurance that there will be . no deviation by the living from the path blazed by the fallen. Ii is d time i for courage. not for despair"
 Those are the words. accurately | quoted. of Senator Marcus A Hama. the personal friend and the avowed public counsellor of President McKin- i ley. Senator Hanna Is one who dis cerned in Mir. Mckinley a coincidence of the time and of the man that brought the two into the fulillment of destiny It was to Hanna that Mir. | Mckinley said, at the outset of his frs i systematic campaign for the presiden- tial nomination: Mark I trust all to you. Only bring me back my honor That was the honor that Mckinley i had himself twice preserved, in twice | putting away from himself the nomina- l ton TOT tne OL li5 pledges, first to Blaine and then to Sherman. As Mir Hanna brought back to Mir. Mckinley n 1896 both the presl | dential nomination and the Mckinley ! honor untarnished. his words may pc accepted today as those of a friend whose intimate understanding of the purposes and ambitions of the murder i ed president reached even, to the hour when he knelt at the bedside of death r...-. ~Fr milton.
 What the country wants at this time." said Mir. Hanna today, ''is an as surance that he future is secure, that | there is to be no radical change, no de ' parture from the policy with whose general trend people have become fam iliar. l cannot praise too highly the admirable tact and truly patriotic wis J dom shown by President Roosevelt in all that he has said and done thus far Confidence. after realizing the shock of this awful disaster. is what the country needs. That confidence Mir. Roosevelt has put forth his utmost to sustain. And he has done that effectively | PROSPERITY UNBRoKEN. [ -I believe that every one feers noW that what had become known as the era of Mcki finley prosperity will be ua-
 
 successfully developed. The initial as surance of President Roosevelt tthat he would carry out unbroken the policy ot :; Pr esident Mckinley finds practical and convincing re-inforcems in his con ! tinuance in office of the Mckinley cab inet and in the acceptance of that call to duty by all the members of that , cabinet
 { Moreover. I am assured that Presi- Il, -ly ceive the advice of those who are quali- ' fled to uphold his hands. unselfishly | and in devoted loyalty to him as wsil as to his predecessor. in adherence to ! that unbroken continuance of the Me ! Kinley policy to which he has volun- tarily pledged himself
 Senator Hanna was asked to com ment upon that last speech deliversd by President Mckinley at Buffalo T No, l think the time has not come for commentary upon that speech re- piled the senator. Tt is quite generally known now that Mckinley prepared that speech with great care. How much toll he devoted to it's composition. how much its matter included of his knowledge of the industries Of the south as well as of the north. of the west as well of the east. and how profound an insight it reveals into the future international relations of the United States canot now be discussed. An appreciation of that wonderful last utterance will grow upon the popu- lar mind after the people turn from their grief to study it's wisdom. But because that speech bears upon possible legislation, I, as member of the ssn- ate, prefer to refrain from present comment. I would wait until President Roosevelt has sent his first message | word to any proposition that may come before that body
 RECIPROCITY
 Besides that general reason for reticence just now, there is the fact as to reciprocity. one of the principal topics discussed in the Buffalo speech of President Mckinley; that the text of the commercial treaties pending with France. Argentina and other countries is familiar among senators only to those who are members of the
 committee on foreign relations. Mem ' bers of the finance committee. who have to deal with questions of rev
 enue. which are necessarily involved i1 those treaties, have not seen their
 text. There are reasons equally sound . why I canot speak now about the other large questions last publicly discussed by President Mckinley
 May it be assumed that the political !: campaign in Ohio may now be quiet
 one?"
 "Yes. I believe that it will" Senator
 Hanna replied. There may be some speeches little later. but I do not an
 ticipate a little excitement. The re
 cent tragedy is too solemn for that
 Nor will there be apathy. The great
 mass of the people whom Wm. McKiu
 ley loved will be certain to pay to hin . ! a last tribute at the polls by following his example of casting the ballot as th, highest duty and most valued privilege
