HANNA TO BE SENATOR.

Gov. Bushnell So Declares in a Signed Statement. Gov. Busiqnell of Ohio Sunday night gave out the following to the press: “It has been my intention to make no announcement in relation to the action I would take in the matter of an appointment to fill the prospective vacancy in the Ohio representation in the United States senate until the vacancy actually existed. But, on account of the manifest interest of the people and their desire to know what will be done, I deem it best now to make the following statement: “When Senator Sherman resigns to enter the cabinet of President McKinley, I will appoint to succeed him, the Hon. Marcus A. Hanna of Cuyahoga county, to serve until his successor is chosen by the LXXIIId general assembly of the state. I trust this action will meet with the approval of the people. Asa S. Bushnell.”
