reer was the contrast between the mans
temperament and the mans clouds of
calumny. Things that were attributed to
him by thoughtless adversaries We're pre-
tisely the things of which he was abso-
lutely incapable.
Senator Hanna was the soul of honor,
candor and open dealing added Mr.
Hay. so far from being, as some liked
to consider him. a creator of trusts and
organized wealth. he was one of the most
powerful and devoted champions of the
aboring people this country has ever
known. He believed in his party. He was
devoted to his friends, and we will find,
now that he has gone, some of the truest
mourners in the ranks of the opposition
as among them, in his life. he counted
some Of his most devoted friends.
Senator Hanna was a faithful and
loyal friend of President Mckinley, per-
haps his most intimate friend. and their
names always will be associated in our
political history"
