EULOGIES PRONOUNCED ON LATE SENATOR HANNA


 | sibility with characteristic determinatio and zeal and more than fulfilled the ex- l pectations of his friends. His methods were original and his directness fasci- mated his political opponents and com | pelled their respect. He was the right man in the right place.
 Cartoon That Hurt. l In telling of the attacks made on MT. Hanna, especially during the second Mo- klnley campaign when he formed the l subject of cartoons in many newspapers
 Mir. Scott related the following incident: l 'I shall never forget one morning when
 he handed me a New York paper con-
 taining a cartoon of himself pictured as huge monster clad in a suit covered
 over with dollar marks, smoking an im- i mense cigar and trampling under foot
 women and children until their eyes pro- truded from the sockets, and their skele- ton forms writhed in agony After I had looked at it for a moment he said l to me:
 That hurts; when I have tried all my life to put myself in the other fel- | lows place; when I have tried to help l those in need and to Tighten the burden l Of those less fortunate than myself, to be pictured as I am here; to be held up l to the gaze of the world as a murderer of women and children, i tell you it ] hurts and looking up into the frank, | kindly, manly face. I saw the tears coursing down his cheeks and he turned 1 and silently walked away"
 Hanna and Presidency. | Touching upon Mir. Hanna's political career. MT. Fairbanks referred to tho mention of MT. Hanna's name in connec- ton with the approaching Presidential contest, saying that ''the situation need ed only the encouragement of his assent to make 1t formidable reality" but that | hc was satisfied with his seat in the Sem l ate.
 Referring to MT. Hanna's rise in 1896, MT. Daniel reviewed the campaign of that year, calling attention to the fact that in | that campaign the issue of the single standard had first been raised, and say ing that the contest was a battle royal. He spoke of the Ohio Senator's Virginia ancestry and said that he had never shown sectional vindictiveness. MT. Cockrell spoke of Mir. Hanna as | soldier, MT. Platt (Conn.), of him as | bosom friend: MT. Culom as a great | man from State of great men; MT. ! Blackburn as a political opponent, and MT Elkins as a political doctor. Hanna and Salvation Army. MT. Perkins related a conversation he had had with MT. Hanna concerning the Salvation Army on the occasion of the dinner given by the Ohio Senator to Gen eral Booth.
 "I asked him." said Mir. Perkins, If he believed in the principles of the Sal vation Army, and he replied. I believe | in the practical effect of the work in | which the Salvation Army is engaged They are redeeming thousands of men | and women every year and making useful citizens of them. I regard this as prac- | tical Christianity, and I accordingly make | 1t rule to give something to the Sal vation Army every month.' MT. Hanna's industrial theories formed the especial theme of MT. Depew's ad- dress, and he found in Major McKin- ley's selection fon the Presidency a part of the development of those theories. MT. Depew also referred to MT. Hanna reply to Senator Pettigrews attack on him, saying that previous to that time the Ohio man had distrusted his powers O. speech.
 "The reply" Mir. Depew said, was not a speech; 1t was a shout of defiance But the attack broke the bonds that had bound MT. Hanna, and evolved a gigantic power, which, in the end, worked the ruin of the South Dakota Senator"
 His Practical Mind.
 MT. Beveridge spoke of the practical character of MT. Hanna's mind; of his hold on the people and his conservatism. Years, said he, made him wiser, but mel lower, too, and he dwelt on the fact that the dead Senator had won not only the peoples applause, but also the peoples affection.
 MT. Deliver touched on the suggestion that Congress was being captured by business men and millonaires and de- clared that he had no anxiety on that account On the contrary, he regarded as one of the best signs of the times the fact that men identified with large affairs in life were willing to assist in shaping national affairs.
 MT. Hanna s successor in the Senate, Mir Dick, was the last speaker of the day. Contrasting the circumstances of the Senator's two elections to the Sen ate MT. Dick said:
 Factions Poisoned Head.
 At the first elecuon, the margin of party success was narrow, but appar- ently entirely sufficient until faction rais- ed it's poisoned head within his own party. Men high in it's confidence and enjoying honors granted at it's hands joined to defeat the expressed will of the people. There was no scheme too des- perate to be resorted to. The intensity and bitterness of that struggle no one can appreciate who was not part of it. It required an uprising or the people in their majesty and wrath to register the verdict which they had instructed. The people spoke and in no uncertain terms.
 By resolutions and delegations and in- formally appointed committees. they as- sailed those who were dallyihg with dis honor or were listening to golden-tongued tempters. They did not speak in vain, and the State was spared the misfor- tune and worse of violated instructions and tainted honor.
 A Personal Triumph.
 Six years later he was a candidate for reelection. The State Convention decar el him the nominee of his party. He was now its acknowledged leader and idol and chief issue in the campaign. The result was an overwhelming personal tri- umph He was returned to this body by the largest majority ever given in the State of Ohio"
 Mir Dick referred to the effort to make Mir Hanna a Presidential candidate and said: He had no secret longings for other political honOrs. He was great enough to put aside any such ambition, and was never greater than in resisting the hattery of those who would have made him a National standard bearer The public will know but little of the great pressure brought to bear upon him to accept this crown: nor did he. like Caesar. refuse each time with less and less insistence."
 When MT. Dick finished his address. the Senate adopted resolutions presented at the commencement of the ceremony. and
