selvS. as much pleased with the reception

franz, manly utterances and business-like

CLOSE ATTENTION PAID.
One thing about yesterdays tour that
was commented on by the members of the
comMittee was the close attention the peo-
pie ssid to the speeches. The crowds were
not 2'nly enthusiastic. but they were at
tent-Se. Especially was this true at Brazil,
one OF the mining towns of the State. There
Senseor Hanna was accorded close atten-
tion throughout. In fact, the people were
so b]sy listening to his remarks that they
somsiimes forgot to applaud especially
emp-atic sentences. The senator had the
best,of attention everywhere.
Tbs people, or rather those who had
nsvtS seen him before, regarded him rather
curisusly on his first appearance, appar-
entls studying the difference between the
real. Mark Hanna and the one that has
beers pictured in the comic papers. At one
10 g. group of men he noticed they stood
as awe-struck. He remarked to them
rathsr jocularly. that he had no horns and
theyf need not look for them. The men
laughed and looked embarrassed, as If they
had been caught in a guilty act.
Ore of the things the Republican man
ayers have to felicitate themselves over is
the demonstration in honor of Senator
