Inspector John r. Malloy. Dr.. W. NJ.
Hissey of GAINESVILLE and Z. ". Doty OF
Cleveland
Mr.. Hanna has never said to me nor
TO anyone else that l know of that he
would be a candidate for president. l
have heard him declare emphatically
many times to others that he would not
be, candidate and did not desire the
nomination. All this talk that is going
the rounds OF the press is simply news
paper talk SO far as there being any
thing in the date of the state convention
being either early or late. anyone can
readily see that it can have no influence
on who the candidate is TO be. or rather
what Ohio's choice is to be-
It's all rot" said John r. Malioy, sec
rotary of the Republican state central
committee. regarding the stories that
have been sent out in regard to the nom
ination of Mr. Hanna for president
Mr.. Dick mentioned the stories that
have been in the papers regarding a Han
ma boom within the last few days while l
was at his office. He mentioned il joking
~. and characterized it as newspaper
talk So far as I know. there is no more
sentiment for the nomination now than
there was some time ago"
Messrs. MaIloy and Guilbert returned
to Columbus after the conference. and
Dr. Hissey and Messrs Laylin and Doty
went 10 Cleveland.
When asked why these men came here
to confer with him, General Dick said:
why. 1 guess they wanted TO see me
The fact is that we discussed nothing III
particular and everything in general /
wish / might tell you something about
it. but really there is nothing TO tell.
They happened to be in the city at the
same time and all came to see me That
is all
General Dick was asked pointedly IL
there had been any talk about candidates
for places at the disposal of the state
legislature. and he stated that the mat
ter had not been discussed at all.
John Bly, of FindIay was here today
comforting with General Dick in regard
to his reappointment as deputy Inspector
of workshops and factories.
