Hanna, Bushnell and Sherman Him
self Want the Senatorship.

Columbus. o., Nov 9-The old fight
between the Foraker and Mckinley fac
tons has broken out anew. The plum
which both sides are struggling for is
the senatorship ia succession Of John
Sherman The legislature which will
in the natural course of things choose
Sherman's successor, viii be elected
next year, but, IF Senator Sherman
should be called into the cabinet of Nc
Kinley to be secretary of the treasury
for instance, a vacancy would be Great
ed which it would be necessary to fill
even before a new legislature is elected
In either case the choice is not far
off, and is properly the subject of spec
ulation. Gov. Bushnell, who is backed
by the Foraker element. is an avowed
candidate for the senatOrship, and the
Mckinley men say Mark Hanna ex-
pressed a desire for the honor and
should be given it. Hanna will, of
course. have the inside in the race
through his position in the campaign
Just passed and viii likely win. This
will mean that the Foraker faction viii
fight Mckinley at every turn.
Senator Sherman does not deny that
he is a candidate to succeed himself in
the senate, and if he does not capture
a cabinet port folio there will be a
three-cornered fight without precedent
in Ohio politics.

Mr.. Redmond had mapped out for
himself a legal rather than q political
career, but at the age Of 23 he was elect
ed to parliament. This was Is years
ago, but although he has almost aban-
doned a brilliant prospect at the bar to
do it he has been there ever since. His
unusual Oratorieal powers and his great
executive ability soon attracted the at
tention Of ParneIl, and that leader at
once made him his chief lieutenant.
He had not been in parliament a year
when there occurred one of the most
dramatic events in his career. At that
time Gladstone and all the other Eng
Iish statesmen were a unit against the
Irish representatives, who lacked both
support and funds to prosecute their
cause. In this extremity Parneu picked
out John Redmond and his younger
brother, William, to ask from the scat
tered race the necessary resources They
went first to Australia, but the prospect
was discouraging. The country was
practically closed to them. They could
not even get hall and the press turned
upon them batteries of abuse and ridi-
cule.
But this did not discourage John
Redmond. He quietly moved among the
people and in short time found a few
friends. In the midst of hostile people
his charming personality and his Won
derful eloquence gained him supporters.

had turned the tide. From city to city

This was followed by GladstOne's sur
render and the introduction, within
three years, Of the home rule bill.

BANKS WILL PAY OUT GOLD
They Will Relieve the Treasury Of
the Burden it Had.


New York. Nov. 9.-The banks are
contemplating the resumption of spe-
Gle payments, which they suspended in
February, 1892 by refusing to supply
gold for export and for the payment of
government dues. That action threw
the burden of supplying gold upon the
treasury and eventually forced the
issue Of bonds by the government which
aroused so much complaint.
Since the election gold has been com
ing into the banks in such a flood they
see their way clear to what can be
termed the resumption of specie pay
ments. BY this action of the banks
gold will be put into circulation and
no reason whatever viii exist for
boarding it They will also resume
the task of supplying gold for export
and thus relieve the treasury from the
strain.
