"The mere fact that man holds
public office does not necessarily
mean that he should resign his rights
of citizenship"
He said he was going to Ohio
shortly to attend the wedding of his
daughter, and that Mr.. James R. Gar
neld, of the civil service commission,
is to accompany him, the latter to
pay visit to his (Mr. Garfield's)
family.
The senator secuted the idea of his
falling out with the president on this
matter and seemed to feel that he

Washington, June 11.-Senator
Hanna had long conference with
the president yesterday. AT the con-
clasion of the interview he talked
freely regarding the published inten-
ticn of Mr. Burton, of Ohio, to with
draw from the race for congress, ow-
ing to the fact that he had not been

Mistake In Message He Sent.


Senator Hanna declared that Mr.
Burton never spoke to him about the
matter of having candidate of his
own until last Friday paorning. The
election was to take place at O'Clock
that afternoon and Senator Hanna
said he sent telegram to Cleveland
asking that compromise be effected,
if possible.
"A mistake In transmission made
the initials in the dispatch incor-
rect" continued Mr.. Hanna, "and the
message was regarded as fake and
no attention paid to it. But even if
| had been there they would have
paid no attention to me-"
Senator Hanna also stated that the
civil service commission had exam
ined into Mr.. Burton's charges that
certain federal officeholders in Ohio
had taken an active part in politics
and had failed to find anything in
them that constituted violation of
the civil service law. As a result, the
president has concluded to send let
tiers to the Cleveland officials censur
ing them for pernicious activity in
politics. With some warmth Senator
Hanna said:
