Stay in the Senate Till March 4.
New York, January 16.-Goyernor
Bushnell, of Ohio, who is in the city
to-day, was asked by Mail and Ex-
press reporter regarding the succession
to the seat in the United States SEN

Il have really not had time to de-

Until this morning had no positive
assurance that the Senator would go
into the cabinet, although l thought

to say what l shall do
"The selection of Senator Sherman
gives me, personally, the greatest graf

did not desire his name to be used,
said:
II think Il Is practically certain that
the Governor will not assume tho respon-
sibility of selecting Senator Shermans
successor himself. There are many rea-

islature together and let that body settle
the question. The situation in Ohio. de-
