COLUMBUS, Feb. 16.-Now that 1T seems
played, and Hayes IL bound to win, the
Republican politicians here are begin
ming to make up slate for his Cabinet,
and to parcel out the appointments
that are to be made as soon as he shall
have become fairly installed In the
White House. or course most OF them
are merely conjectural states, the
appointments being made out as
they strike. the fancy OF
this or that person who
gives currency to them. But there are
others OF more substantial character,
which are entitled to weight and cre-
may be said to fairly represent Gov
ernor Hayes views, as expressed to q
very prominent Republican Of a neigh
boring State, who has been here during
the past few days, and who has held as
nearly confidential relations with Hayes
as 1t is possible for any living man. It
may be relied upon as being O close
prediction OF what Is to come about
when Mr.. Hayes shall have become
Chief Executive OF the country.
In the first place, as to his policy, he
intends to pursue q lenlent and con-
servative policy In the administration
Of affairs. He will seek to allay the
political hatred that has been the stock
| In trade OF such men as Morton and
Blaine and Garfield during the past
| twelve years. He proposes TO conciiiate
| the South so far as he can, and will make
| hesingle question OF universal suffrage
the point to gather about him men OF all
political opinions In the South. As
| illustrating this point: He feels dis
posed to recognize the Nichols govern

| Hampton government in South Carolina.
as being the de facto governments of
those States.
In selecting a Cabinet, his effort will
be to gather around him men OF con-
servative qualities rather than those Of
intense Radicalism. The State OF New
| York will probably be given, under his
administration, as 1t has under Grants,
the Cabinet place Of honor, the Secre-
tary of State; and William M. Evarts Is
the man selected for the place. Ken
lucky is to be recognized In q Cabi-
net appointment, and 1t Is most likely
ry Department to BristoW. Hayes
admires Bristow, and the only thing
that stands In the way Is the fact that
he quarreled with Grant. Hayes Is not
quite SO bull-headed as to court the re-
sponsipility Of putting man In office
who WAS kicked out by the man just
preceding him. III Bristow shouldn't
be offered this place, the Interior De-
partment will be given to John NJ.
Harlan, Of Louisville. So Kentucky
will not be forgotten.
Ofcourse Ohio expects all things, and
will get something more disappoint-
ments than anything else. Stanley
| Matthews will most likely be given the
position Of Attorney General; and Pap
by Taft will be allowed to come home,
or may be sent Off to some pleasant for
eign port, where they have watermelons
4 the year round. Noyes will be sent
off also, probably to some second
class mission, like China or Turkey.
Halstead will have to wait
awhile before he can hope to get
anything, and when 1t comes 1t
won't be anything more than q consul
late. John Sherman will get nothing,
though it IL said he has been coquetting
for the Treasury. Carl Schurz will have
a first-class foreign appointment-the

War portfolio has not been decided
upon, but it will most likely go to Penn.

else than Don Cameron.
