The appointment of Fred Kimbley TO be
postmaster at Orleans was confirmed by
the Senate this afternoon. Several days
ago 1t was stated that Senator hanna
would oppose the confirmation OF Kimbley
on account of articles having appeared in
his paper attacking the late President Nc
hlnley. Senator Hanna was In New York
to-day, and there was no opposition to the
appointment.
Representative Griffith to-day introduced
a bill providing for a $4,000 appropriation
to erect a monument at Riverside Gene
terry. Dearborn county. in memory of Col.

Senator Forakers announcement that he
had selected his choice for nomination for
President in 1904 on the Republican ticket
and that his name was Theodore Roose-
welt led many people 10 think that the
President would Immediately join the Ohio
senator in an attempt to crush the Hanna
machine. If the President is taking any
part at all it is just the opposite from
what was expected. Some of Mr.. Foraker S
friends have been heard TO remark that
Mr.. Roosevelt is not joining with the For
aker forces, as was expected, and the re-
cent intimacy between the President and
Senator Hanna gives them good grounds
for thinking that he has decided not 10
enter into any combination TO defeat Mr..
Hanna in his endeavor to prevent certain
people from having control of the Ohio
Legislature organization. He undoubtedly
/ thinks as do many others, that Senator
| Foraker has lively presidential bee and
that any assistance he might give him now
in crushing out Hanna sentiment would
| only assist in making Foraker stronger
| candidate against him three years hence.
