Foraker Speaks Plainly
Owing TO the strained political rela-
tions existing between the two Ohio
Senators for several years before the
death of Mr.. Hanna the address Of
Senator Foraker had been looked for
ward to with the greatest interest. and
was listened 10 with the closest atten-
tion.

mitted his political differences with his
late COLLEAGUE. and discussed them il

to many OF Senator Hanna's personal
qualities. he did not refrain from cr1u-
oi...ro- others He had first met Mr.
Hanna at the Republican National Con-
Iyaution IN 1851. TO which Mr. Hanna was
