Of OHIO. who was in the city today. was
asked by a Mail and Express reporter
regarding the successor TO the seat IN
the United States senate now held by

this morning / had no positive assurance
mat ias senator would so tato the cab
met. although l thought he might accept
the offer OF the preSidsnt-alsct and ! am
therefore unable TO say what I shan do.
The selection OF Mr.. sherman gives me
personally the greatest qualification. His

tsTed with anything. We don't care about
these persons. You know there are no
longer any factions in Ohio. 50 there
cannot be any strife"
You have been named as q possible

porter suggested.

The governor said he could rot say
whether Mr. Hanna or any other man
would be regarded by the legislature as
candidate for the senate.

prominent member OF Gov BushneIIs
stan. who for obvious reasons did net
desire his name 70 be used. said:
7 think II Is practically certain that
the governor VIII not assume the respon-
slniiity of selecting Senator Shernan's
successor himself. There are many rea-
sons why he would prefer TO call the leg
islature together and let that body settle
the question. The situation In Ohio dss-
pite all OF the talk about harmony. Is
really very delicate. and ss the transfer
OF Sherman 10 the cabinet means a gener-
al reac1ustment OF things. a good deal
OF caution IS necessary II making the first
