HANNA'S APPOINTMENTS.

Names the Secretary and Treasurer of the National Committee

St. Louis, Mo., June 19.—From an authoritative source it is learned that Chairman Mark Hanna, of the Republican national committee, has decided upon the secretary and treasurer of his executive committee, both of which positions he has power to fill. The story is that Major Charles L. Dick of Akron, O., will get the secretaryship, while Sylvester Evart of Cleveland, will be made treasurer.

With this comes an interesting story. It is that Hanna wanted Dick for national committeeman, but Foraker and Bushnell insisted so strongly upon Kurtz that Hanna had to yield. And now he has given Dick, or will give him, "something equally as good," to use a Missouri political phrase. It is also understood that ex-Committeeman Hahn of Ohio, will be placed upon the executive committee by Mr. Hanna.
