REPUBLICAN EDITORS
RECALL VISIT TO HANNA

Several members of the executive COM
mittee Of the Indiana Republican Editorial
Association were here for a meeting last
evening, and their talk turned naturally TO
the death of Senator Hanna Estimates of
the man and the politician were exchanged
and "reminiscences of personal encounters
with the senator were recalled. H NJ
Smith. of the GreencastIe Banner, told of a
call several of the members of the associa-
tion. accompanied by their wives paid Sem
atOr Hanna in Cleveland two or three years
ago.
1T during the summer outing of the
association at Putin Bay he said. I'VE
made up party TO run over TO Cleveland

i'm his Office. busy man of his large
affairs might be expected TO be. but when
we sent In our cards and he learned that
ed to see him he dropped everything else
and had us shown into his private office He
received us more than cordially and made
US feel that he was glad TO see us. 1t was a
very hot day and he was in his shirt
sleeves. but he said he would waive for
mality IL we would and left his coat off Two
or three of the women In the party had
kodaks with them and they asked the SEN
ator IL they might take his picture. He
said for them TO go right ahead. He was
seated at a table In the center OF the room
and l remember that after one or two snap
shots had been taken OF the women
complained that the light i'm the room was
poor.
Well, well raise the blind said the
senator. There's no limit here"

to allow their personal relations to iniu-
ence their treatment of questions, either ad-
ministrative legislative, that each was
inclined TO lean backward in that regard.
1t was a common saying in Washington
that President Mckinley repeatedly uase-
the statement to congressional callers in
the White House. Senator Hanna has
asked less of me and has yielded more To
me than has any other senator of the
United States"
AFTER MKINLEY'S DEATH.
The assassination of President Mckinley
at Buffalo was a severe blow to Senator
Hanna, and 1t was remarked by those who
saw him at the funeral that he had aged
years during the few days following the
shooting of his lifelong friend. Following
the death of the President Mr.. Hanna took
up the work Of the Civic Federation. and
devoted much time, energy and money TO
the betterment OF civic conditions, espe-
cially insofar as they were affected by the
relations of capital and labor The part he
took in the various negotiations leading
up TO the settlement of the anthracite mine
strike in Pennsylvania and in other labor
troubles caused complete revulsion of
feeling the part OF the laboring men,
especially on the part OF union labor, and
as the harmonious relations or Mr.. Hanna
and his own employees for many years be
came more fully known and appreciated
they added to the influences working i'm his
behalf until il safe TO say that no
man-certainly representative of the
moneyed class-occupied so high a position
in the regard Of union labor as did Mr..
Hanna.
Politics, especially the active politics OF
his own State occupied much of Mr.. Han
mas attention and his strength was mani
Tested TO the full in the State campaign or
1893, when he took the stump for Colonel
Herrck next TO himself probably Mr. Nc
Kinley's closest friend, and in several i'm
portant towns Of the State before he was
taken sick. raised his voice against Mayor
Tom L. Johnson, OF Cleveland. He was
considered the most effective campaigner
sent out in the State, especially in the man
ufacturing ceuters, and this contention was
amply borne out by the magnitude of the
Republican victory, the majority for Her
rick being unprecedented and the legislative
majority returned enabling the reelection
of Mr.. Hanna TO the United States Senate
by the largest majority on joint ballot ever
given TO a senator in Ohio.
Mr.. Hanna made few speeches in the Sem
ate but he not unready in cOllOquial
cross-fire debate, and was very indus
trious and effective committee worker.

ing the progress and prosperity of his coun-
trymen."
Postmaster General Payne said: MY ac-
quaintance with Senator Hanna is almost
lifelong. | have known him intimately thr-
ty-five years. In all the phases of life l
voted friend. and his death strikes nearer TO
me than l can express.
Secretary COrtelyou said: Senator Han
mas death is personal grief to me. Cir
cumstances brought me frequently IN con-
tact with him, and L came to know him as
one of the ablest of the really great men
In public life He was the sturdiest of
lighters in any cause he championed; he
had stern convictions of his duty; he was
supreme tests of friendship. Notwithstand-
ing his remarkably rapid rise in national
affairs and his commanding position before
the people, he was modest and unassuming
and he was one of the most considerate of
men: His death is great loss to the coun-
try"
Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was deep
ly affected when the news of Senator Han
ma death was brought 10 him. Mr.. Shaw
said:
Senator Hanna was one Of the noblest
characters L ever knew. AS a business man
he was very successful; as a politician he
ranks with the most potent; as a states
man he was broad-minded. far-seeing and
intensely patriotic, and as a friend he was
the truest of the true. Not by luck nor by
circumstance did he work his way from
a position quite generally misunderstood to
UNIVERSAL respect ana commences. III was
real character, real patriotism and real
worth. His loss is national, and in the sad
bereavement the humblest will be partici-
pants"
Secretary Taft said of Senator Hanna:
He was marvel in politics. He had re-
markable grasp on public questions of the
day, and simple. lucid and therefore most
forcible way of stating the issues and sup
porting his conclusions. If his interests
in public matters and his energy had not
been so great L believe he would have lived
ten years longer. but he would not allow
considerations of life to restrict his energy
and TO prevent him accomplishing the good
he had in mind"
Secretary Taft said the senator won men
by his straightforward methods, frankness
and confidence. 1T was by reason Of these
traits, added the secretary, "and the use of
the same attractive qualities that the labor
ing man and the capitalist gave him the po-
stion of arbitrator between them-a posi-
tion which. probably no man has occupied
before him. That is one of the reasons why
the death of Senator Hanna is such a great
loss 70 the country"
HAVERHILL, Mass, Feb. 15.-On learn
ing of the death of Senator Hanna, Secre-
tary of the Navy William Moody said: II
regard the death of Senator Hanna as a
great loss TO the Republican party to the
Senate and to the Nation at large. He
was a forceful man, and a man whose
place Ii will be iiard 10 fill"

EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 15.-To Secretary
Hay the death of Senator Hanna came as
great loss. mo one who knew Senator
Hanna said Mr.. Hay, could fail TO recog-
nize in him those remarkable qualities of
mind and heart that distinguished him. He
was q man in thousand for generosity,
honesty and loyalty. He was one of the
truest friends that ever lived"
Mr.. Hay said that OF the most sur
prising things about Senator Hanna's career
was the contrast between the mans true
character and the cloud Of calumny and
vituperation that was made to surround
his name by political opponents Things
that were attributed to him by thOughtless
adversaries were precisely the things of
which he was absolutely incapable.
Senator Hanna was the soul of honor
candor and open fair dealing" added MIR
Hay. so far from being some liked
TO consider him, a creator of trusts and or
ganiZed wealth, be was one OF the most
powerful and devoted champions of the
1aboring people this country has ever
known. He believed in his party. He was
devoted TO his friends and will find, now
that he has gone, some of the truest mourn
ers in the ranks OF the opp ositiOn, as among
them In his life he counted some of his most
devoted friends.
Senator Hanna was faithful and loyal
friend OF President MCKINLEY, perhaps his
most intimate friend. ami their names al
ways will be associated in our political his
tory as types Of disinteres ted friendship and
mutual confidence"
Secretary Hay concluded by saying that
u sometimes had been spoken of as a re-
proach TO Mr.. Hanna THAI he brought busi-
ness principles into politics. which he GER
tainly did, added Mr.. Hay, if the foundation
of correct business principles is a strict ad-
herence to honest and fair dealing.
Secretary Wilson, the only member of
President Roosevelt's Cabinet who entered
office at the beginning of the Mckinley ad-
ministration, had this to say of Senator
Hanna:
"A remarkable development. possible only
with our conditions, a business man whose
knowledge of men and things came from
contact with affairs McKinley's candidacy
and the issues which IL rested brought
him into public notice. His ability as an
organizer was recognized then and has
been impressed upon the country since that
time on many occasions His consideration
for workingmen and power with them have
been ascertained attributes of charac-
ter. Senator Hanna's powers in legislation

devotion to his ideals OF public duty and

and a name that will have a place in our
history"
Secretary Hitchcock said: "The Nation
has lost a patriot and his personal friends

ODELL SAYS NATION
HAS LOST GREAT MIN

ALBANY, n. Y, Feb. 15.-Governor Odell
tonight telegraphed to Mrs Marcus A
Hanna an expression of his sorrow and SYM
pathy with her in the death of Senator
Hanna. Afterward he said:
Senator Hanna was certainly one of the
country's great men, and the Nation loses
in very true and wise sense, even do
those who knew the senator personally
The many who did not come into personal
contact with him know him for his quail
ties and achievement as citizen and philan-
thropist
II knew Senator Hanna somewhat well in
the political relations OF the first Mckinley
campaign. In the second campaign | came
close to him and acquired sincere personal
regard for him, along with a great respect
and admiration for him a man of deep
resourcefulness and pleasing personality.
In a very true sense he was the discov-
erer of Mckinley, and TO his untiring and
succe ssful labors to place Mr.. Mckinley in
the presidency the country owes a great
obligation. Senator Hanna was really a
great political leader, and the Republican
party, well as the Nation as a whole, will
miss his character and services"

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 15.-There
were universal expressions of regret to-
night among paItlic men at the death of
Senator Hanna, all of them. without dis
tinctiOn of party. saying that the country
had lost one Of its most forceful and useful
citizens
Senator Foraker ssaid: The death of Sem
ator Hanna removes from public life one of
our strongest and most capable leaders.
His political success es have been most ex-
traOrdinary. especially in view of the fact
that ne lacked some of the qualities and
accomplishments orc inarily thought essen
tial TO a successful public career. He was
not scholarly man, and yet he commanded
the respect OF the most learned. He was
not, in the ordinary sense, a student OF
state affairs and yet h e comprehended as by
intuition every trouh lesome problem that
arose and efficiently abied in it's solution, He
seldom participated in debate and yet he
welded an influence in molding the execu-
tive will scarcely second to any other men,
Der OF the Senate.
The secret of his Success was a strong
intellectual endowment a keen perception
and a courageous nature combined with a
pleasing personality and n plain. direct,
straightforward manner that commanded
respect and excited confidence. He had an
uncommon hold on the esteem and good will
of his countrymen. That has been striking
ly manifested during his illness. The whole
Nation has literally waited at his bedside
for the final summons. and now all mourn
his loss without regard TO political differ
ences.
Ills long service in the enate had pre-
pared him for still greater us efulness during
the term for which ne had just been re-
elected. 1t accentuates the misfortune we
sustain that his death Shouht have come at
what is apparently so tnOp perfume mo-
rnent. He will long live in he appreciative
memory of the American people strik-
fngly successful and typic al product of
American life and opportunities. His death
is a great loss TO his party, his State and
the Nation.
Governor Herrick of Ohio, said: what
ever 1 have accomplished in political life |
owe to the unwearying Friendship of Pres
tdent Mckinley and Senator Hanna. When
the senator was full OF his own political
burdens, he nevertheless found time to at
tach 10 himself hundreds and thousands of
younger men. He helped lem climb the
ladder, assisted, advised and comforted His
death brings to these men an additional
pang. because now they can only pay trib-
ute to his splendid and uI1selfish friendship,
without the opportunity hereafter of paying
off their obligations. He was true to his
friends at all times. and that will be his
greatest epitaph.'
