REvIvING THE HANNA CANDIDACY.

(From the Springfield Republican,
Mr.. Roosevelt's path to unanimous
nomination from the Republican con-
vention of 1904 appeared to be wholly
free from obstruction two weeks ago.
There now appears to be falling upon
It more or less slight observation
The white Republicans of the South,
those of the most substance and infu-
ence, and those also who have acted
with the Democrats, but now intend
to Join the Republican party In case 1t
is "bleached," are greatly displeased
with the hostile attitude adopted by
the President toward the "lily-white"
movement. The removal of Collector
Bingham in Alabama, for being ac-
lively identified with the negro-excl''-
sion process, the proposed appointment
of a negro to the customs collectorship
Mt Charleston, and the threatened re-
moval of some other FEDERAL
office holders in the South most con-
spicuously active In the movement
aroused among them much bitter feel
ing, particularly in North Carolina and
Alabama, where the reorganization of
the party on white basis is most COM
pete They are disposed to break with
the administration outright, rather
than give up the cherished purpose of
making the party respectable from
Southern white mans standpoint.
Their leader IN North Carolina, Sena-
tor Pritchard, still wavers. He wants
to be made a federal judge, and he
evidently will miss an appointment
from Mr.. Roosevelt ifhe goes on as he Is.
| Still 1t is to be noticed that his home
newspaper organ Is advising con-
I, tinuance of the fight to bleach South
ern Republicanism, and exCongress-
man r. u. Lnney, standing upon the
steps of Pritchard's law Office at Mar
shall, N, c., a week ago, urged the lily
whites to stand fast, and nominate
Senator Hanna for the Presidency in
1904.
This has given to the lily-whites
their cue Hanna as against Roosevelt
Is their cry. Several Of the substantial
Republican business men Of North
Carolina are planning the establish
ment of a newspaper organ of white
Republicanism and they talk of Han
ma rs their candidate. No intention of
giving up the fight is there manifest;
and the same is reported to be true in
Alabama. The lily-whltes now con-
troll the Republican organization In
both states, and they expect to have
control soon In all the Southern states.
Their plan is to stand out against the
force of the federal patronage which
is being used against them. and send
anti-Rooseyelt delegations to the next
national Republican convention. These
delegations, II seated, will present Mr.
Hanna ns the candidate of the Repub
lican South.
Such is the present situation in re-
spect to this interesting movement
and such are the present plans of its
leaders. Nor will they, possibly, fal
short OF anti Roosevelt assistance from
more northern states. Senator Scott
of West Virginia, in an interview a
New York, published by the Times, de
clares himself to be emphatically II
, favor of the nomination of Mr. Hanna
1 and Senator Elkins of the same stat,
IL doubtless Of the same mind, both op
posing the President on Cuban reel
, procity and not llly-whlte grounds.
The Ohio Senator Is not necessaril,
