back that the Governor of Ohio had de-
,ermined to appoint Mr.. Mark Hanna
United States senator in place Of Mr..
Sherman. when he goes into the Cabinet
Mr.. Hanna was interviewed by repre-
sentative Of the press. and he made the
following statement
II received" said he, " letter from
Governor Bushnell this morning appris-
ing me of his intention TO appoint me
but that letter, cf course. has aliedoV
been published. l have written a reply
10 Governor Bushnell. thanking him for
the honor which he has bestowed upon
me. and in particular for advising ne
of his intention in advance OF thu reslg-
