The citizens of Canton without re.
gard to party or creed unitedly and
deeply deplore the death-untimely
and inexpressibly sad-of Senator
Marcus A. Hanna.
He is bound to us by the ties of
that beautiful and now historic friend.
ship for our own beloved and most
distinguished citizen, William McKin.
ley, For the just fame of William
Mckinley and Marcus A. Hanna must
go forever coupled and inseparable.
Thus the citizens OF Canton are
deeply moved and with grateful men,
ory and unstinted regard pay this trib-
ute as to their own familiar friend.

tween these two masterful men, ne.

complement OF personal force such as

affairs OF our beloved country, and
that too, in history making period.
In the characteristics of his enthu
siastic friendship and unbounded
love for VIM. Mckinley, faithful to the
tragic end, are found the secret of his
great career His unbounded enthu.
siasm and energy was alike the in.
spiration and emulation Of men of all
political creeds and beliefs. Because

the gr>at benefactors of the human
race and Is one Of the divine and sa.
cred gifts OF God. This great attri.
butte made Marcus A. Hanna a great
partisan. And so he was possessed of
great pre-disposition in favor of the
party to which he belonged, and be-
cause OF his unbounded love and
friendship for its great leader. But
