If Mark Haunn brought tho notion
with him from the east that was en
tering the cneiny9 country he hud ocu
lar demonstration this morning that
quickly dispelled that idea At every
place he has stopped during the day he
has met with a rousing reception and
by the time he reaches Bryans home
this evening ho will be thoroughly con
vinced that for u pop state Nebraska
gives a mighty warm welcome to tho
chairman of the national republican
committee
Tho Haunn train came into Norfolk at
11 I0 this morning 10 minutes ahead of
schedule time and was greeted by an en-
itiusiUHiic round oi cneers nesuioi
Senator Haunn the party consisted of
Senntor Win B Fryo of Maino and
Victor B Dollivor a brother of Senator
Dolliver of Iowa who was hero with
Roosevelt Tho party was in chnrgo of
Mr R B Sohuoidor national commit
teo man for Nebraska and was nccoin
pnnied by a representative of tho Associ
ate Press and special correspondents of
leading papers
Only Mr Hanna and Mr Dolliver left
tho train hero as they were scheduled
to remain but 15 minutes These gentle
men were escorted by a reception com
mittee to the platform which had been
erected at the corner of Fifth and Main
streets whero a crowd extending a great
distance in overy direction greeted tho
mnn who is charged by tho popocrats
with running the universe to suit him
self and causing the rain to fall or not
as suits his pleasure
While no attempt had been niado by
local republicans to make a demonstra
tion todny thero being no parade or
other spectacular features yet the num
ber of peoplo who camo to hear aud see
Senator Hanna made one of the largest
crowds that has been in the city this
year somo even going so far ns to place
tho estimate of peoplo in town at as high
a figure as wore hero on Roosevelt dny
It is doubtful if this is true but outside
the Roosevelt demonstration no crowd
has equaled the one of today during the
present campaign Tho morning train
from the Verdigro line brought a largo
number of peoplo and tho special from
west nrriviug nt 10 -15 was well filled
Bssides these hundreds of teams kept
bringing people all the forenoon
Instead of a man with horns tho
peoplo saw Mark in Hanna an ordinary
looking business man somewhat stout a
little past middle ago clad in striped
trousers and a daik sack coat Tho face
of Mark Hanna is tho most disappoint
ing feature of the man to those who bad
formed an opinion of him from the pub
lic prints Instead of having tho hard
grasping face that his has been pictured
he is possessed of a most gcuinl counte
nance kindly good natured and respon
sive to the evidences of good will which
greeted him At the close of his ad
dress he was beset on all sides by those
anxious to shake his hand and utilized
every minute of his time to good ad
vantage in that direction using both
hands and shaking as many as his broad
palms could grasp at a time Just be
fore entering the train he stopped mid
shook hands with a bevy of school giris
chatting with them a few moments in n
happy sort of way He seemed to en
joy thiB proceeding as thoroughly ns
did those who greeted him his genial
face lighting up as he renlied tho cordi
ality of the reception tendered him in
Bryans home state
Mayor Robertson introduced the sena
tor in a very brief manner and Mr
Hanna began to speak The following
is an epitome of his remarks
Fellow citizens I feel more than
grateful for the compliment that has
been pnid mo on my visit to this state
I appreciate it all the more fully because
I understand I have been ndvertised to
appear with horns I hope I shall not
be a disappointment but as a matter of
fact I am nothing more than a plain
American citizen i uonr claim to use
different methods than those used by
other American people but will endeav
or to toll nothing but the truth
If my experience with largo busiuess
interests entitles me to form an opinion
on political questions it is that if we
want a continuance of prosperous condi
Last evening at the home of tho I tiou8 wo Bnouiu vote t0 iet well euough
brides brother Geo W Soars a quiet alone
I understand you have a candidate
for president living in this state I
believe he has got it bad so bad that he
would be willing to sacrifice all the ma
terial interests of the peoplo and his
country for the gratification of his per
sonal ambition You aro not called
upon to sacrifice your own interests for
his personal gaiu but should sustain
your interests and that of your country
I doubt if there is a sane man iu the
country who desires a return to the
conditions of four years ago when prices
for farm lauds and produce were only
about half what they are now
That waB a time when the democrats
thought they would show us how to run
HIE NORFOLK NKWS TIirKSDAY KTOHKK LV MOO
tho country anil they did show us iiiom
elVecthely They began by tiaring
down the structutes that the republicans
had labeled for years to build but I
dont believe tho people are willing now
to unite with any man or set of men or
party In tearing down what has been
accomplished in the last four years
Who is better fitted than our own
beloved president to see that present
conditions are maintained
What wo want is sound conservative
business policies Capital is always
timid and is constantly on tho watch
for any sign of danger when it will
retire to the ban It vaults and stockings
When money is idle men am idle Con
fidence underlies all business activity
When peoplo have confidence in the
future and no disturbing inlluences ap
pear on tho business horizon then capi
tal is employed and labor is employed
and when capital aud labor are em
ployed thete is a demand for farm prod
ucts and the prices are better Nothing
cau better illustrate the bond between
tho capitalist tho laborer and the
farmer aud no sign of prosperity Is as
conclusive as the consumption of wheat
per capita Four years ago the average
amount of whent consumed per capita
by the people cf the United States was
IP j bushels During the years from
18117 to and including IHIMI when the
wheels of industry were turning when
all wanting work got it when capital
and labor were busy tho per capita con
sumption of wheat was P bushels It
shows the dillereiice between good and
bad times that this extra consumption
of wheat gave an increased demand in
the markets for wheat of more than
lOOOOOOOO bushels per annum You
cannot separate the interests of the
consumer nnd the producer and Mr
Bryans endeavor to array class against
clnss is an argument of last resort that
shows their desperation Tho argument
of imperialism is all rot an insult to
Aniericnn citizens whoso hearts contain
no imperialistic tendencies and McKinley
lias no intention or desire of being
crowned king It is less ellective than
the argnment for free coinage and a fid
cent dollar made in IblKi
A voice Did you ever boo ii W cent
dollar
Yes hero is ono holding it np but
wo will not talk free silver It is a
dead issue It isnt being discussed by
any of tho democratic speakers not oven
by Mr Bryan especially in New York
As lor imperialism its seed has not yet
been planted in tho heart of an Ameri
can citizen aud this argument falls by
its own weight As soon as Mr Bryan
found that the people not excepting the
people of Nebraska favored expansion
ho begnn talking imperialism out it
dont go down
Thero is n pntriotic side to that ques
tion As a sequence to the war with Spain
and Deweys victory in tho Phillipino
nrchipelego that country has come into
our possession by every right of treaty
and purchase Tho soldiers have
planted tho American Hag on those
islands and it will not bo hauled down
nnd tho man whoadvocates hauling it
down will be snowed under by the votes
of patriotic American citizens
Lately they have been terming it
commercialism that rules the desire of
tho Philippines
If tho possession of tlint strategic
point givesthe peoplo of this country a
foothold toward opening the doors of
tho far east to our products 1 thus
benefits our farmers then for Gods
sake let ns have commercialism
Tho democrats wont admit that there
is any prosperity and dont want McKin
ley prosperity but we will make them
take it whethor thoy want it or not
The leaders in the campaigns furnish
the issues Tho democratic leaders
seem to believe that if they cnujoriginate
a catch penny issuo to distract tho at
tention of the voters they think it is a
good thing but the voter will not be
misled
It seemed to be a great disappointment
to the crowd when tho engine of the
specinl whiBtled and Mr Hanna hur
riedly closed his remarks Many were
heard to wish that he could talk an hour
or more Those who camo not expect
ing to hear a good address were most
thoroughly disappointed Tho senator
proved a most pleasing speaker nnd his
remarks went straight home

Never has a more wholesome play

city than Chas W bases dramatiza

sented by Aiden Benedicts capable
company at the Auditorium on Tuesday
October JSOth Necessarily many of the
strongest portions of the book had to be
slighted by tho adapter for tho entire
novel of seven hundred pages cannot bo
crowded into a htage performance of
two and a half hours To the lasting
credit of Mr Chase however he it said
that in his six act version ho has not
lost sight for a single instant of the
religious sentiment Always conspicu
ous iu the book it is pre eminent iu the
play And all lovers of uplifting drama
uro thankful for this foresight It
makes Quo Vadis a play which no
body can see without being decidedly
the better for it It is not strange that
clergymen in all sections of the land
have bestowed upon it their unqualified
endorsement Every member of the
cast is iu true syinpnthy with tho piece
Nothing ran illustrate this moro con
vincingly than the respectful attention
given by tho gallery habitues who
might reasonably bo expected to exhibit
marked restlessness during six acts of
such a production in which comedy is
almost an unknown quantity and glar
ing sensationalism has no plnce Each
role is taken care of worthily
The play is of interest not only to
those who hnvo read Sienkiewiczs
wonderful Btory from which it has been
dramatized for it has been so arranged
that auybody cnu follow its trend under
standingly throughout Its scenery
aud stage settings are beautiful and ap
propriate and the costumes correspond
faithfully with the period Everywhere
people attend this performance who
seldom enter a playhouse and none have
been heard of who have regretted beiug
present We predict for the company
in this city one of the mon successful
engagements of the season
