Mr.. Hayes VIII De Asked 10 Kick Out the
obnoxious Members Of Ills Cabinet.
Washington Specialize New York Herald
rumor has been circulating here Tor
some day that when Congress reassembIes
the Republican Senators, or rather the anti
Hayes part ~ them, intend 70 ak the Pre~i-
dent formally - reconstruct his Cabinet.
Such an enterprise would not be without
precedent. Tbs Republican Senators once
attempted % break up Lincoln'- Cabinet In
this way. Their chief object was to get Mr..
Seward out. They held a caucus and adopt
ed a formal resolution requesting Mr.. Lin
coin 70 remodel hi~ Cabinet. Having done
this they appointed 4 committee 10 wait up
on the President with the resolution, aud
explain ~ him the reasons which led 10 its
adoption, and urge him TO conform himself
70 the ~snafc'> wishes. a mcmi,cr ~ this
committee was sent 70 the President 70 no
tify him ~ what had been done, and ask him
~ appoint time when he would see the
Committee and hear the resolution. Trad-

Senators very atlably, and told him that he
would be happy - see the Committee M =

and Chase. which divided the Cabinet itself
into two parties. and extended into the sem

were members ~ the present Cabinet. and
Secretary BIaine's friends. jealous ~ Sccrr-

his Cabinet. In such a ease II Wa not diff
cult 10 see that while Secretary t0nkling
would feel il incumbent upon him 10 place
his resignation al the disposal of President
Hayes, Secretary Blaine, in whose interest
public opinion regarded the mos cment a.
made, would feel no less compelled also 70
offer hisresignation. To do otherwise would
give him the appearance Of being party 20
an intrigue against fellow Minister, which Y
H. commonly and Justly held 70 he dis
graceful offense, nm act Of political immor-
ality.
This il precisely what happened. sccre-
