A SPEEDY RATIFICATION URGED.
DR.. Talmage breaches About the Arbltra-
ti0n Between the United States and
Great Republicans Fig
uring ON the Senate.

SPRINGFIELD, o., Jan. ia close
relative of Gov. Bushnell, whose name
cannot be used for obvious reasons,
makes the statement, about the authen-
ticity of which there can be no doubt,
that Gov Bushnell, in so many words,
stated to him that he would not ap-
point Marcus A. Hanna to the pro-
spective vacancy in the United States
senate. The governor and the relative
mentioned had quite talk on the sub
ject, and the governor gave him to un-
derstand that Hanna's name could
not be considered for the place
at all. The relative further along
stated to local newspaper man that
there was no doubt whatever Of Gov.
Bushnells desire to 60 to the senate
himself. He added that he was very
ambitious politically, and that the
present situation afforded him an op-
portunity to crafty long-cherished
wish, to get into the senate. In con-
nection with the above, a number OF
Gov Bushnells friends are openly re-
questing him to resign as governor and
then let Lieut. Gov Jones, who would
be his successor, appoint him senator
To strengthen the above statement, II
strength is needed, all newspaper men
who have tried to interview Gov. Bush
nell about Hanna's candidacy for the
senate, know that he has always cour-
teously declined to talk about it. In
view'of this fact, it is argued that If
there was no objection to Hanna the
governor would speak out.

to allow nothing to interfere with a

all christendom may ring out Peace
