DDS that were fair and moral He was
called a coarse money grubber. There
were sneers for Mckinley. Yet Mr.. Hanna
did not spend the money abruptly; he
promised nothing.
Mr.. Hanna's aggressive activity. his
growing strength, hfs impetuous zeal Of
Tended the ablest and most powerful poll
iticians in his party. He had become a
vulgar upstart to be cut down. Accord
ingly, when Mr.. Hanna went to st. Louis
early in June 1896, where the Republican
convention was TO meet he was con-
fronted by one Of the strongest and most
skillfully organized coalitions in the his
tory Of American politics. Many candi-
dates We're to stand together until Nc
Kinley was beaten. Thomas B. Reed, of
New England; Levi p Morton, of New
York; Quay, of Pennsylvania; Cullom in
Illinois; Senator Cushman Davis, of Min
nesota; Senator Henderson. of Nebraska
Senator Allison, of Iowa; Chauncey 1.
F'illey, of Missouri; and Governor Brad
ley, Of Kentucky. were the candidates
of the combination that had been raised
up Tor Mckinney S deStric:On. MT han
ma nominated his man for President, and
he did more; he wrote Hobart's name
on the ticket as an act Of vengeance
against Senator Platt, who had been vio-
lent and menacing in his advocacy Of
Governor Morton.
After the election, after Mr. Hanna had
returned to his home in Cleveland, he
was the guest of honor at a dinner at
the Union club. In the little speech that
he made, a little speech full of emotion,
he told how he began his work "of love
and devotion" to Mckinley. Then Nc
Kinley had said to him: My friend,
trust you with my future. But there are
some things | will not do to be President.
leave my honor in-your hands,

His intellectual Quality.

EXCEPT the first sentence every speech
that MIR. Hanna has delivered has been
extemporaneous. His Panama Canal
speech, the speech that defeated the
Nicaragua route, the speech that was
many hours long and that really changed
votes in the senate. was thought out as
ne went along. Not line Of il was writ
ten in advance Of its delivery. Il was
great speech. great in its influence, in its
accumulated facts and in its technical
construction as an argument.
The intellectual quality of Mr.. Hanna
has been submerged and lost to view by
the notoriety that has come 10 him as
fighting man and a politician. He was i'm
perfectly educated, going no farther than
q year 10 preparatory school. HIS whole
life until recently Was devoted TO the
heaping up OF riches He has never said

The Oath Hanna lock.


When 1 took charge of Mckinley's
honor" Mr.. Hanna said 10 the men at
that dinner, II swore 10 my Maker that
l would return it unsullied. And when
came from that memorable convention,
proud and satisfied with the work his
friends had done. | went to Canton and
laid my report al the feet of my chief
tain. and l said to him: Mckinley, l
have not forgotten the trust, and / bring
ii back without blot and not a single
promise to redeem On election day l
voted, and again l went to Canton and
said to its foremost citizen: Governor,
that honor and that escutcheon which
you confided to me are still untarnished.
Again I say, you haven't one promise to
redeem -
The men to whom Mr. Hanna thus
spoke had known him throughout their
lives--they were among the best men of
Cleveland Some of them had been in
business with him. They accepted all
that he had said, believing every word
he had uttered, knowing him TO be
truthful and honest man.
Although Mr.. Hanna would angrily de-
ny it. We're he living. DENY it because all
memory of it had passed from his mind.
Mr.. Mckinley at the beginning was mere
ly a political enterprise; an enterprise for
Mr.. Hams love of adventure and con-
quest, an enterprise for his strenuous and
imaginative spirit Likewise. Mr. McKin-
ley was a citizin of Ohio. and Mr.. Hanna
rarely has shown much interest in public
men who live elsewhere. But the time
came when Mark Hanna took William
Mckinley into his heart as well as into
his pride-took him as a father takes a
son. as an artist takes his masterpiece,

he could tell a good picture from a bad
one. Nevertheless, he was a remarkable
man-remarkable in the nature and power
of his mind He had imagination and
much sentiment His fidelity to his friends
was changeless ana steady. Censure came
upon him because he mad not rejected
some of his friendships. He did not re-
iect them for the reason that he be-
lieved the men who are attacked to be
honest and worthy of his confidence IL
he thought them to be culpable he would
drop them in silence and never. speak
of them again. So long, however, as he
thought them TO be biameless, he trusted
them, supported them, and, if they needed
it. he loaned them money.
The hideous pictures which have been
drawn OF Mr.. Hanna have represented
him TO be a violent human monster,
made mighty by wealth and made heart
less by the lust for power. These pic
lures are physical, describing brute force
and Instability. There never was any
reason for them. Before he became con-
spicuous in national politics Mr. Hanna
had been a business mana business man
employing labor and having no strikes.
His word was always good. His life was
clean and wholesome. His heart was
kind His pocketbook was open to paw
erty and to worth. But. he had been in
tense in all of his activities and in all of
MS opinions. He never preached. He
never hunted wildcats, but at forty-five
he was much like President Roosevelt
much like him in temperament, in energy,
in outburst. Welded into the Rhodes
family, he was soon at the head of the
Rhodes company-there with money of his
own, with brains of his own, with daring
enterprise of his own
