CLEVELAND. o.. Jan. 1G-A local pap,

CLfN El1ANDs VI, Jan. lO.--A lOCdl paper
Gays:
Mark Hanna will announce himself as
candidate for United states senator. He
made this admission this afternoon to ex-
Congressman ii. l.. Morey, who came TO
Cleveland as the accredited representative
OF Governor Foraker. 81 will announce my
candidacy" said the national chairman, "and
/ believe / am capable VI making the fight
alone. We believe that we are entitled to
the place"
Colonel Morey. who arrived in the city
early this morning, was closated with Mr..
Hanna for some time. When Mr.. Morey left
he was questioned and said: II believe that
Mr. Hanna will announce himself as a can
didate to succeed Senator Sherman in the
United States senate, and l believe that Gov
ernor Bushnell will appoint him to that posi-
tion. Governor Bushnell Will, | feel conf
dent, dislike to do this very much for |
believe no would himself like TO be the sue
cessor of Senator Sherman, but. nevertheless
believe he will do it. There will be no DEAL
whatever may be the outcome OF Mr.. Hanna
candidacy / am sure that there has not
been and will not be any deal with Foraker
and Bushnell. Mr. Hanna's candidacy will
be open and above board and believe that
he will win solely because Foraker will bow
to the very evident sentiment of the people
MIR. Morcy, are you affiliated with either
facton?"
"No, am not; am good friend of both
Mr.. Foraker and MIR. Hanna"
When Mr. Hanna's attention was called TO
tho statement made by Mr.. Morey he fatty
refused to discuss the matter.
NEW YORK Jan. 16-Governor Bushnell
Of Ohio, who is in the city today, was asked
by a Mail and Express reporter regarding
the succession to the seat in the United States
tn ha11 hy Mr. haNp
really had no time to think Of that ques-
ton" the governor said Until this marn-
ing | had no positive assurance that the
senator would go into the cabinet, although
I thought he might accept the offer OF the
presldent-elect, and l am therefore unable
to express an opinion"
The selection Of Senator Sherman gives
me personally the greatest qualification"
added the governor ''his selection will
please everybody In Ohio, except those people
who are never satisfied with anything We
don't care about those persons You know
there are no longer any factions in Ohio,
so there cannot be any strife"
Here the governor smiled serenely.
you have been named as a possible sue
cessor to Senator Sherman" the reporter
suggested.
'Yes; | have seen some reference to
that but If name the successor, as COVER
nor, could not name myself, and If there
Is special session of the legislature that
body will, suppose, do as it pleases."
The governor said he could not say as
TO how Mr.. Hanna or any other man would
be regarded by the legislature as candidate
for the senate. "You know" he added,
Senator Sherman's term expires March 4,
1899 so that the man who is chosen now will
not have long time to serve"
A prominent member of the governor $
staff said: II think it is practically certain
that the governor will not assume the re-
sponsibility OF naming Senator Sherman $
successor himself. There are many reasons
why he would prefer to call the legislature
together and let that body settle the ques-
tion The situation In Ohio despite all the
talk about harmony is very delicate, and as
the transfer OF Sherman to the cabinet
means a general readjustment of things, a
good deal Of caution is necessary in making
the first move"
It is understood among Senator Sherman S
friends in the senate to be his intention to
remain in the senate until he enters the
cabinet.
CANTON, Jan 16-This was another busy
day for President-elect Mckinley. Pennsyl-
vania's two senator's Messrs Quay and Pen
rose came to ask consideration OF Governor
Hastings for a cabinet portfolio and to dis
cuss other matters. Hon. Joseph McKenna
OF San Francisco, a cabinet possibility, ar
rived this morning and had very earnest
conference with Major Mckinley. This aft
ernoon large delegation from Texas and the
southwest asking for recognition of State
Chairman John Grant of Texas was heard.
"Only President Mckinley knows" This
was the reply Senator Quay made when the
Associated press representative met him at
the carriage on the way to his train and
asked whether he thought Hon. Charles
Emory Smith, former minister to Russia and
editor OF the Philadelphia Press, would be
invited to accept the treasury portfolio. SEN
ators Quay and Penrose left Canton for the
east at 2 o'clock Senator Quay expects to
start for Florida next Thursday.
