In 1S,")2 liis father removed with his family to Cleveland, Oliio, where lie established himself in a wliolesale grocery bu.siness that soon became one of the most extensive in northern Ohio. Young Hanna was educated in the Cleve- land public schools, and began a course at West- ern Reserve University, which was interrupted in 1857 by the failing health of his father. His father died in 1862, and he conducted the business with success until 1867, when lie formed a partner- ship with his father-in-law, Daniel P. Rhodes. U'he firm of Rhodes & Co. dealt in coal, iron ore, and pig iron, and, under the management of the junior partner, its scope was extended, so that in a few years its property included coal and iron mines, and a line of lake steamships constructed in its own shipyards. In 1877 the firm name was changed to M. A. Hanna & Co., and Hanna be- came the controlling partner; hut his activities required new fields, and lie Ijecame interested in theatrical enterprises, the Cleveland Street Rail- way, banking, and railroading. .t length he turned his attention to politics, gradually extend- ing his inlluence from his home ward to city, State, and finally to national politics. In 1880 he was an active Republican worker in Cleveland; in 1884 he was a delegate to the Republican Na- tional Convention, and in 1888 he was again a ilelegate to that body, and this time made himself known as one of the managers of .John Sherman's canvass for the nomination. In 1806 he suddenly acquired national prominence by the part lie took in securing the nomination of William JIcKinley for the Presidency at the Republican National Convention at Saint Louis. Immediately after the convention he became chairman of the Republican Xational Committee, and conducting the campaign on the same principles that had won him success in business, secured the election of lIcKinley by the largest pupuhir plurality given up to that time at a Presidential election. In March, 1S97, Covernor Bushnell appointed him United States Senator from Ohio to succeed John Sherman, who had resigned to become Secretary of State in President McKinley's Cabinet, and in the follow- ing year he was chosen by the Legislature Sena- tor for the full term of six years. In the Senate he did not take a prominent part either as a debater or a legislator ; but up to the death of President INlcKinley he was recognized as one of the most influential advisers of the Administra- tion. He actively interested himself in the problem of the relation between capital and la- bor, and upon the organization of the National Civic Federation was made its president. In December, 1001. he became a member of a per- manent board appointed to settle labor disputes. HANNA, William (1808-82). An English clergyman, author, and editor, born at Belfast.
