is heightened gentleman, and am convinced he
would not retain the Office an hour after he
had made up his mind TO act in political
hostility to the President who bestowed 1t
upon him II is true that he is
warm adherent Of Governor E. d. Morgan; but tho
Governors ambition is be made Secretary Of the
Treasury In the next Cabinet should the republicans
continue in power and II he desires that his State
shall present hts in the Convention on an informal
ballot It Is only for the purpose of making capital for
that position Roscoe Conklng is not be thought OF
as a candidate He Is smart and even a brilliant
young politician but has not weight enough for the
Presidency think it highly probable that ex-Gov-
Morgan may turn up the republican ticket for
his old position In 1915 His money will be useful in
that campaign. do not know whether you are aware
of IT, but great many OF the Now York politicians
have been unfortunate In pecuniary matters
recently Mr. A. B. Cornell who wanted badly to be
Governor in place of Dix burdened with large and at
present unrcmuncrave estate, while the obligations Of
his father the late Ezra Cornell press heavily upon
him, he being indorser his fathers heavy paper
The steamship speculation which he embarked proved
failure and somewhat disastrous one. He Is not
in position throw away money politics. Mr..
Thomas Murphy is heavily hampered with unremuner-
alive real estate which his broad shoulders
troubled TO carry. Roscoe Conkng has made money,
but is not by any means rich Cews and all such quick
sand reliances have passed away Hence tho solid,

POSITION OF THE CABINET.
Q. How much OF truth is there in the stories Of
trouble in tho CabinetP A. am inclined to believe
that some members Of the present Cabinet have per-
sonal ambitions promote but their positions on re-
have been correctly represented Sec
rotary Jewell is really at tho bottom of all tho mis-
chief He has been running his Office for his own
purposes. The President understands this and will
show that he understands it at the proper time made
you prediction year ago that has been verified. I
give you another 1t is that Secretary Jewell will
BIO out Of the Cabinet within the thirty days Bris
tow has no doubt been IN sympathy with Jewell, but
1 inclined to believe tina. both Brisow and Pierre
pont will harmonic matters and remain in.
REPUBLICAN NOMINEE?
O. Then you believe that President Grant will be the
republican nominee in 1876 A hope that he will be
the candidate because believe that II we make
periments shall have country united, peace
full and financially sound before 1880 To change Grant
for another republican would create unnecessary
disturbance for the sake of probable redistribution Of
prestige of name which made reconstruction possible.
Grants financial views known and capital rely
upon them, while another republican however sound
the financial question generally, might have pecu-
liar notions of his that would unsette mems
minds and feeling uncertainty To change Grant
for democrat would be TO risk the danger of violent
changes and would shake the confidence of the financial
world at home and abroad One thing Is certain-if
Grant should be nominated he will dictate the nom-
nation the confusion of all who intriguing for tho
succession and in that event Minister Washburne will
head the republican ticket
THE PRESIDENTS PROGRAMME.
II the of the gentleman whose views given
above could be made known 1t would at recog
nized that he does not assume without authority to be
conversant with the Presidents views and
policy in regard to the future Grant desires
and intends to Secure a denomination from
tho hepuDnCan convention next year, ana III Is
difficult to see how he be defeated Tho organiza
tons generally in the hands Of the federal Office
holders. Although Jewell is trying to build up a
Jewell Office holders party, and Bristow is doing
the for Brstow, the representation Of the
Gins" will be for Grant above all others. The
Presidents programme from until the time Of
holding the Convention is TO show himself among his
followers; TO travel the country in quiet way,
going here one week and there another, and making
personal capital without the noise of Scott Greeley
campaign. They who think the third term dead issue
will find themselves deceived when the day Of the next
National Republican Convention comes round.
THR WEATHER BRANCH
The weather at the Branch has been pleasant the oc
casona showers having only served make the roads
better for driving. The hotels continue To be well
filed and the heat has Increased day it is likely
that shall have another large influx of visitors to-
morrow. At the West End there wero many arrivals
to-day, and the rapidly being filed up for tho
balance of the Long Branch is enjoyable
from the middle Of August up To tho end of September
than at any other time of the year.
THR HERALDs ENTERPRISE
The HERALD was at the hotels and nows rooms bright
and early this morning before even the early birds of
fashion had left their beds Al the seven o'clock break
fast table at the West End every person had HERALD
to read while the othe- Sew York dales came aggng
slowly along about ono o'clock in the day The
HERALD's enterprise IS everywhere spoken of with APP
probation
