THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1899. 5 INTERESTING CAREER OF MARCUS A. HANNA. ACTIVE IN POLITICS A SCORE OF YEARS. His First Effort to Mftko a Stump Speech Ho Didn't Want to Spoftk, But Was Pursuaded To and Thon Bccamo Angry nt Anno anco and Carried the Crowd. Clovelnnd Letter, Philadelphia Record. Tho political enemies of Senator Mnr- cus A. Hnnna ncknowledgu tut ho Is a remarkable man. His friends know that he Is. It was durlnc tho latter part of 189." and the early part of 1890 that he first attracted attention throughout tho country n a political manajyer. 15e fore that tlmo he ni simply Marcus A. Hiuina, of Cleveland. When he took charge of the McKlnley campaign for the presidential nomination there wen scores of politicians, pel Imps ni able ns Mr Ilanna, who knowlnKb shook their heads and said that he would mako a botch of It, that ho wasn't n fclpf enoUKh man to tackle suih a bit; Job. When Quay and I'l.itt, under th" trip-hammer blows administered bv Hnnna, later throw up the sponge, then It was for the lirst time that ld-publl-cans and Democrats everywhere, save In Ohio, began to lnriulio who this man Ilanna was. NOMINATION' OP M'KINLEY. Then cnine tho nomination of Presi dent McKlnley and the subsequent camimlgn for his election. Mr. Ilanna succeeded In covering himself with glory, and when William McKlnley wns made president of the United States, It was ciiiKcdcd that the Ilcmthllcm chaiiman had won for himself a per sonal triumph by his musterly conduct of the campaign. The details of the scnatoilal contest waged In Ohio a year later, aie well known Considerable surprise was ex pressed at the time oer the fact that during the campaign that preceded the right In the state legislature H.inni made a number of speeches on tho Mump These, while crude In many le H'eets were the effort of a determined man, rd presaged the latent oratori cal ability of which In the recent state campaign Senator Hnnna has clearly shown himself to bo the possessor. On returning from Europe Mr. Hnnna said In New York city, afterward le lteratlng the statement In Cleveland, that he proposed to take the stump for Judge Nash. It is doubtful, however, whether he at the time leallcil to what extent he would speak during the cam paign Altogether he made four politi cal tours of the state, traveled many hundicd miles, made between twenty and hlrty speeches, and spoke to more thai 7.1.000 people. HIS FIHST .SPEECH. 'It was In the famous campaign of 1896," slid Senator Hanna, "when I made the first speech of my life. It was almot on the twentieth, anniver sary or rnj debut In politics. It was during the laht week of that very hot campaign, and I was at the Itepubllcim national licultiiiirtfTH In Chicago. 'All of us were tired out Most of the speakers of national Importance! hud gone home or were en loirte. Thr few remaining speakers had assign ments that could not be Interfered with. The Polish vote of Chicago is a big factor In the politics of that city. Man a candidate has learned It to his sorrow. We had been apprised of the necessity of gettli.s this vote. Thiough hard work on our part wn succeeded In organizing a laigo Polish Republican club. We were resting content with the thought that we had the ward in iprstlon carried, when the Democrats awoke to the situation. They arranged for two meetings. One was held In the afternoon and one In the evening Uryan and Altgeld spoke at both They succeeded In undoing in about four bouts what had tnken weeks of hard work to accomplish. AEL THE SPEVKEItft GONE. "One of the Polish leadeis appealed to tho national committer for assist ance, ire a!d that unlf a rousing Hcpuhllcnn meeting were held Immo Ulatcly nit our work' would go for naught. I told him that nil the openk en had gone home; that we hnd no one on whom we could depend. " 'Suit yourself," he replied, 'but if no meeting Is held I won't nnawet; for tho consequences.' "I wus pretty well alarmed. V'o needed that wind. We tould not nfCor.l to loso It. "The situation was dlsctispcd by some of the committeemen. " "Let Hnnna go,' some one suggest ed. The Idea was tnken up. 1 l'io tested, but with no avail. Tor twenty four hours, our time limit, tho wnrd was canvassed, and tho meeting ad vertised ns few meetings have beei. advertised since. The opposition pa pers took It up, and on the morning after the advertisement nppcared, as sured me that I would get n warm in ception that evening. "The detective itapnrtment of tho police force sent men to, me w rrnlng me against nil sorts of plots that had been laid to break up tho meetln,'. The Democrats seemed determined to pre vent, If possible, my speaking. "I was nlso Informed that I might have to pass through dense crowds In reaching the meeting place, so I start ed early. It was a good thing I did so I was very dubious as to the outcome of what was to me a rather humid ous ndvcntuie. The meeting place was nbout three squares from Republican headquniters.t It lequlred Just live minutes less than one hour for the car riage to make the trip The lido nlon;; the first squat e was without event To wnrd Its end, however, 1 could not help but notice that nn unusunlly lnige number of people were on the streets, and by the time I had Unversed half of the second block I concluded that It .would be a good thing to have tho driver stop and glvo the horses a lest. KELT RATHER SHAKY. "Whatever conclusion I did reach, It Is an nbsoluto fact that the stieet was Impassible so crowded was It. Loafers poked their heads Into the carriage, leered at me, and addressed the foulest language at me that I ever heaid. They ndvlsed me to go home. They told me that If I wanted n whole skin I hnd better clear out R must be confessed that I did feel rather shaky. "The mob that had prepaicd this re ception for me, however, overdid It. The horses weie finally able to pro ceed, and I congratulated mjself on having passed through the worst of the trouble when a lightning-like Hash struck me squarely In the eyes. It was fiom a calcium light that had been jilnced for my benefit on tho building adjoining the one In which I was to speak. For nbout twenty minutes I was tortured by the pranks placed by this glaring, blinding light. "I became boiling mad. I believe I could have licked the operator of that light with ease. In this frame of mind I entered the hall There was a large crowd. , "Before I had fully relieved myself of the angry utterances I made the men who had crowded Into the hall had become attentive. 1 talked nt them. I used no nourishes I hnd no funny stories to tell. I talked at them. "We carried the ward." SPEECH PASSED UNNOTICED. Little attention wns paid by the press of the country to this first speech of Senator Hanna. Indeed, mnnv people will be sui prised to learn that he made a speech at this time. The speech by Senator Hanna at the Union club, In this city, when, after Mr. McKlnley had been elected piesldent, the club presented Mr. Hanna with a loving cup, was the one which first nttiactod at tention. It was given almost In full by the ne'wspapers of the count! y on th? following morning Senator Ilanna did not ngnln make a, public speech until he took the stump duiing the senatorial campion "There is only one thing I dislike nbout public speaking," said the sena tor. "It makes me pose Itr the light of a public orator. This is something: I never will be. I have no eloquence In me I am too plain nnd blunt In my statements. I simply talk to the peo ple as I would to you, or anybody else In conversation I never wrote a speech In my life. Never had one written for me and probably never w 111. If I speak well It Is because I am sincere In my utterances and tell the people Just what I think." KIRST POLITICAL WORK. "What was vour first political work of Importance?" Senator Hanna was asked. 'I entered politics In 1871," ho to plled, "but It wns not until lssD, dm lug the Oarfield enmpntgn, that I did any thing worth lecordlng. At that time I aldsd Oscar Chllds and Colonel Will iam Edwards In the organization of a business men's Republican club In thli city. The movement sprend nil over the country. In New York city it was a very popular movement. On one night in New York theie was a torchlight parade wheie hankers nnd millionaires were to be seen enirylng lantern0, something that had never been henrd of before." Although Senator Hanna Is Inclined to belittle his public speaking, It Is a fact Hint he Is nn orator of no mean ability. Ho uses the genuine Engllxh. He has a way of talking at his audi ence that commands the attention of ev ry person within sound of his voice. Of Into from a plain speaker he has developed Into a more polished orator. In his speeches nt the present time lie uses many a well-pointed Joke to lllus trnte his themes, and Is not above using figure speech as n means of em bellishing his effort. JONAS LONG'S SONS.
