\ Columbus, o., Dec. ,z.--Ehe secret Is
ola General Charles n Grosvenor of
Athens, bases his claim for the gl1ber-
material nomination upon an al agFse:
rnent- of several years staAding;:s WIN
none ,other.than Hon, william Mcfxinl
ley. Such is the explanation foriifhei
present mysterious attitude Of The Ma
tional Administration. ys s,R Il
Ever since 1t leaked out a FEW weeks
ago that General Grosvenof Expected
to secure the nomination. for Goy4tnor
and that he already was receiyingefhI
vor,, 3if' not the active suppVrt, OF, the
powersathat. be..in Washington, there
has been S5tiueh wonder as 70 Just why
his aspiratlonsswere taking iprecedepee
over those of 1sevetal others to whom
the administration is deeply obligated

the knowledge that he was the choice
of the President no less. than yastonishs
ing. Up to this time all efforts to as
certain the why and the wherefore of
this have been unavailing .t,i
1t now develops, however, that short4
ly before his Inauguration Mckinley
promised Grosvenor that he should
succeed Bushnell as Chief Executive of
tie State This promise was given in
the days of the Cabinet making al
Canton. AS is we'll known, Grosvenor
was very anxious to go into McKip-
ley's Cabinet. lie had long entertainT
ed such an ambition, under the 'Ad-
ministrations ofyother, Presidents, and
when Mckinley was elected with his
active assistance, and from his own
state, he believed that the time was at
hand for a realization of his hopes. 1T
