resident gives any intimation Of what he proposes
90 do. At the meeting of the Cabinet to-day, Presl-
dent HAYES introduced this subject and announced
the name of the gentleman whom he had selected.

unanimous approval of all present; bat il under
stood that no authorized publication of it should be
made until the nomination was sent 20 the senate.
There are excellent reasons for believing that the
Presidents choice has fallen upon General John VI.

cx-Sccretary Bristow. Among others who had neeh
mentioned a, possible candidates were Judge Hunt
Of Louisiana Judge Herschel V. Johnson Of Geor-
gia. and several gentlemen holding judicial positions
