McLean and the Politic ans.

Jtumor has been busy for the past few days with the name of John R. McIjean, proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, in connection with the United States senatorship of Ohio, it has been stated that Mir. McLean would ask the indorsement of the Ohio Democrats as a candidate for United' States Senator, so as to give direction to the vote of the Legislature in case that body should be Democratic when the next senator is elected. When

asked about the report, Mr. McLean replied that there was not a word of truth In it. “I have not thought of such a thing,” said he. ‘‘The main fight this year will be on the governorship, and X doubt if the convention will regard it as expedient to make a nomination in any way |or the senatokship. So far as lam personally concerned I certainly do not desire it to.”
