They are’also foolish enough to know that when it comes down to cases Mark Hanna can play a lone political hand against » whole conven- tion and take every trick. “his Hanna man didn't cut any more tce in national politics than a fur dealer in Central America up to |June, 1896. They knew him down tn Ohio as a wise | business man with a wad and as a bosom friend of | William McKinley, who had been trying for tne Presi- dential nomination and missing about a mile for @ |long time. ‘ “The Republicans held their national convention {n_ St. Louls in 1896, and some of the delegates haven't got cooled off yet. It was a flabby, sunstruck, underdone mob of Republicans that gathered there to deliberate. The St. Louls saloonkeeper was filled with amazement and resentment because nine out of ten of the visitors were on the water-wagon. “The boom for Tom Reed got there early. It was ® g00d, adult boom with whiskers and a deep bass voIc., Other booms were there, too, nidaen around in vanous places, but the Reed boom was out in the open, and for a time it looked as though the nomination would go to the man from Maine. “Mark Hanna got to, town a few nights before the convention was calied, engaged headquarters, got busy, and the next day the Reed boom was so dead that an embalmer would have refused to handle it. Instead of the Reed boom there was a McKinley boom occupying all the space between the proscenium arches on the Republican political stage. “Within twenty-four hours after Hanna hit St. Louis the dinge delegates who had been eating in Ethiopian hash-houses were getting fve-dollar bills changed in Tony Faust’s swell restaurant, where no coon had ever been seen before except on the Dill of fare. ‘I'nere was a flood of the long green turned loose at the Southern Hotel, and when it came to voting there was nobody in it but McKinley. “hat was Mark Hanna's debut in national politics. He was without experience, put ne knew nis business and his lines. He has been stage manager of the Repub- Iican party ever since, and in eight years he has learned a lot. [f it comes down to making Hanna cut bait. the chances are that Koosevelt will be the bait.” “The President nas demied tnat ne said ne would make Hanna fish or cut bait,” asserted the Cigar Store Man, ‘The President has been taloing encores on denials "|for a good many years,” replied the Man Hinger Up. “It's a wonder he didn’t slide the statement on to Loeb.” DaOO 2O9O: 2492 29-9G9I92999GOOPOOOOIOOOIDIION TOD HOSS GS Beoe-3: OOd oe Presidential Nicknames. ) ASHINGTON—Fatier of His Country, Amerivus Fabius.
