HAMMERS OUT.
For Hanna's Presidential
BOOM Some Hard
Knocks Landed.

Columbus, Nov 5.-Governor Nash
today threw cold water on the Hanna
boom. He said:
II am not for Hanna for the presi-
dency, for believe he does not want
it. / believe he was sincere when he
stated that he knew what the job was
and would not have it. Again, his
health is not the best and believe no
man knows that better than Senator
Hanna himself, and this, too, is rea-
son he has given for not being can
didate for the honor.
II believe that Ohio Republicans
will stand by that Roosevelt resolu-
tion adopted at the last convention
l am for Hanna for president"
ANOTHER KNOCK.
Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 5.--Judge Peter
S. Grosscup of the U. s. circuit court
of Chicago discussing the national pol
itical situation at hotel Schenley here

conditions could sidetrack him. Han
ma could not land even If he wanted
to, still, If Mckinley had lived he
woud probably be the candidate. He
Is a great power.

REDUCTION
To be Made In Garrisons at the Phili-
ppines-DeIay Is Caused While Bar
racks Are Being Built In U. S.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 5.-Some
time ago, General Davis, commanding
the division of the Philippines, recon-
mended reduction of the garrison In
those islands and the secretary of war
authorized the chief of staff to deter
mine what reduction should be made.
Lieutenant General Young has decided
after consideration of all the questions
Involved, that the garrison in the Phil
ippines for the present should remain
at four regiments of cavalry and nine
OF infantry.
h 1t is not probable that any further
reduction of the garrison in the Phil
ippines would be made until proper
barracks accommodation can be provid-
ed in the United States; great deal
Of construction work is going on at
the present time, but new barracks
materialize very slowly. Several of
the old posts marked for abandonment
will have to be utilized for regiments
already in the United States for some
time to come.

"The time has come when no reason
can be given for longer delay on the
part of the president in turning to the
Nicaragua canal under the terms Of
the Spooner resolution.
"The revolution on the isthmus
makes it impossible that any treaty
can be negotiated that can give this
country any right to use the Panama
route. The situation is such that we
cannot get a treaty with Colombia.
we cannot look forward to secure
treaty with the people who have pro-
claimed their independence in the de-
we could never make such a treaty
without going to war with Colombia.

.HANNA'S BLUFF
About Panic Mainly Re-
sponsible For Johnson's
Defeat.

Mayor Tom Johnson has written to
a Cleveland newspaper telling how 1t
happened. His diagnosis follows:
"The result in Ohio is due to sew
eral causes, of which the chief was
the successful attempt of Senator Han
ma to impress upon the people of this
state that a continuance fuhdisturb-
ed business conditions demanded his
return to the senate. .''vsf Z
"In the last few weeks of the cam
paign the closing of mills and dis
charge of thousands of workmen,
together with bank and business fail
ures throughout the country, gave col
or to Senator Hanna's claim that the
campaign in Ohio involved national
issues of more importance than the
betterment of our local conditions.
81 hope that Senator Hanna's state
ment that his reelection will pre-
serve the industrial and business sit
uation from disturbance will be veri-
fed, and that confidence, which he be-
lieves to be the basis of prosperity,
will be preserved.
"The Republican party in this cam
paign used fund larger in amount
than any other similar fund in the
history Of state politics. This cam
paign fund was furnished by privi-
legged interests throughout the coun-
try, they not unnaturally feeling that
Senator Hanna was their national rep
resentative. The magnitude of this
fund enabled the Republican commit
tee to give the widest possible circu-
lation to their claim that business
prosperity depended upon Senator
Hanna's reelection.
"The principles of the Democratic
platform, while in some sense new,
have prevailed in Cuyahoga county
when the public mind was undisturbed
by other considerations. and but for
the reasons given above, would have
been indorsed by the voters of the state
this year.
"The use of money on tremendous
scale was expected The unfamiliarity
of portion of the people of the state
with the principles of the platform
was understood. We knew that the
people of the state could not be
bought and were prepared to convince
them of the truth of our principles,
but that Senator Hanna's reelection
could be identified with the mainten-
ance Of business prosperity, and that
the fear of the people of a return to
hard times could successfully be ap-
pealed to, was not anticipated. and
this more than anything else accounts
for the result.
The ultimate success of the prinei
Piles of the Democratic platform is
but postponed by this defeat, and
urge the people of Ohio to begin now
the campaign, for the election of the
next legislature, the selection of which
will not involve the election of I'm
tied States senator, or any other ma
tional question, but which can be cho-
sen solely with reference to the ques-
tions of home rule and just taxation,
In which an overwhelming majority of
the people of Ohio now believe.

NEGRO APPOINTED
AS mail CARRIER
Princeton Authorities In Hot Water Over
the Matter--Postmaste Is Receiving
Complaints.

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 5.-Princeton
postoffice authorities are in hot water
over the appointment of Charles Davis
negro, as carrier on the rural free
delivery route here. Several COM
plants have been made to Postmaster
Robinson who said today that he saw
no way out of the difficulty at pres
ent.
Davis passed creditable examination
for the position and in fact was the
only eligible candidate SO necessarily
received the appointment and started
to work today. 1t is likely that steps
will be taken to have Davis removed
should any more objections to having
a negro carrier arise.

F. 0. MCCARTNEY IS
HON0RED TN BARRE
Memorial Ssrvises to the Prominent
Socialist Under Auspices Of
Barre Local.

A memorial for the late Rev Frederic
O. MacCartney OF Roekland Mass, who
was probably the foremost Socialist of that
state and also worker for the cause Of
the laboring man, was held in Tool Sharp
eners hall in this city yesterday forenoon.
There was a small attendance The prin-
cipal speaker was Philip j. Haivosa who
paid an eloquent tribute to the Rev. Mr..
MaeCartney. Remarks we're also made bv
several others.
The gathering was called TO order by
John Anderson, who spoke briefly. ex-
pressing regret that there we're not more
people present. He explained the call for
the meeting, that at the last meeting OF
Barre Local of Socialists 1t was voted TO
have the memorial and that the unions OF
the city were invited to attend. He then
called upon James Cruickshank, president
OF the G. G. N. u. Mr. Cruickshank spoke
briefly saying that not until recently had
he known much Of Mr.. MacCartney. Ev-
cry step he took was In the right direc-
ti0n. =
Ben F Healey, president Of the Central
Labor Union and Timothy IverS of the
quarrymen's union responded briefly on
the worth Of the man, and then the chair
man read an editorial from the Evening
Telegram of Saturday calling attention to
the memorial meeting and eulogizing the
Rev. Mr.. MacCartney.
The last speaker, Mr.. Halvosa. spoke
for about half an hour his remarks being
frequently applauded. He gave review
Of bis life, Of his theological training, Of
his leaving the ministry in the Universe
list church, but not leaving as black
leg, Of his work in the legislature OF Mas
saehusetts and Of his untiring devotion to |
the cause of the laboring man. 1t was
fitting that Barre, one 0f the strongest
union towns in the country, should paw
this tribute to him, but his regret was that /
more were not present. The opera house
should have been filled to oyeraowing, in |
stead Of the number that assembled In |
Tool Sharpeners' hail.
I'VE Socialists have lost a friend, a /
c0mrade, brother; the lab0ring men
have lost puTe-minded man, an unpur- |
ohasable man, a man above corruption /
and above suspicion. Although be il |
dead may his life be an Inspiration to all !
of us
Following Mr. Halvosa's address, a mo-
bion was adopted that resolutions of SYM
pathy be drawn up that they be inserted /
n the papers Of the city and that a copy
Of the resolutions be sent to the father III /

ing committee was elected to draw up the
