not only that speculative Interests , whlo !
had been supporting prices , were Incline
to realize on the development of any pub

MILWAUKEE , Dec. L Marcus A. Hannn ,
chairman of the national repullcon com
mittee will not accept another term as
,
[ 'national chairman , although bo will serve
j out hlb present term. This much wns ad
mitted by Henry C. Payne , national repub-
llcan commttteeman of Wisconsin , this after
I noon. Tbo statement was made by Mr.
Payne when asked about the truth of the
rumor that Mr. Hanna would resign.
Mr. Payne eayo that Hanna told him ho
i would Borvo out his term , but would not ac
cept another. His term expires after the
noxt" republican national convention , which
will bu held In June. Payne nays that Han-
na's heultli is such as will forbid his tak
ing up the duties of an active campaign.
CLEVELAND , Dec. 1 , Uoncornlng the re
ports which have been In circulation for sev
eral weeks past to the effect that Senator
Hnnna would not succeed himself as chair
man of the national republican committee , It
con bo stated on the authority of Mr. Han-
na's most Intimate frleidn ; thnt ho has no
desire to manage another campaign and thnt
unless very strong pressure Is brought to
bear upon him ho will , In nil probability , de
cline to do eo.
Notwithstanding the published statements
that many lending republicans throughout
the country are opposed to Mr. Hanna's re-
nppolntmcnt OR chairman of the national
committee , It Is known that he Is almost
dally receiving from Influential party lead
ers , representing practically all 'sections of
the country , letters to the effect that ho ha *
thpir fullest confidence and support and urg
ing that ho is the strongest man available
for the place.
Mr. Hanna'e clcucst friends and the- mem
bers of hla own family believe , however , that
the condition of bis health Is such thnt he
should not under any circumstances assume
the responsibility of managing another pros ,
identlal campaign.
It has been suggested thnt should Mr.
Hanna decide not to accept a reappolntmcnt
as chairman that ho ho mode- member of
the executive committee , having personal
charge of the campaign finances. This would ,
it Is pointed out , relieve Mr. Hannu of the
arduous duties devolving upon him as chair
man and at the same tlmo give the national
committee the benefit ot his experience and
marked success In raising campaign ( undo.
