Factional Contest Over Sherman's Successor Threatened.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 14.—Simultaneously with the announcement that Senator Sherman will be the successor of Secretary Olney comes the report that Senator-elect Foraker is sharpening his knife preparatory to resisting the attempt of Chairman Hanna to seize Sherman's cast-off Senatorial toga. Silas Merchant, a prominent Foraker Republican in this section of Ohio, made this announcement last evening: "I have just received some information which rather frightens me. I have it from a good source that the fight between Foraker and Sherman over Mark Hanna's candidacy for the United States Senate is on in earnest. Foraker is determined to prevent Hanna from going to the Senate, and the fight is going to be a bitter one."
