what . Leading Republican says
A apscial dispatch from Col. =. A.
Burr, at Washington, to the Philadel.
phia Press, gives the views Of leading
Republican on the probable formation
Of President Garheld's Cabinet. The
authority quoted he describes as -
man Of high personal character and
strong political standing; one who Is
nearer to the parties concerned than
perhaps any other, and who knows as
much OF the purposes and aims OF both
the president elect and the stalwarts
who 30 much contributed to his cleo
ton as any man In the oouAtry."
llk"Ia the first place" said be, "New
York will have Cabinet oficer thor.
eughly acceptable to every school OF
politics In the Empire State. He will
probably BE- Congressman Levi P.
Morton. He will have one OF the high.

net, bat It will not be Den Cameron,
for the sufficient reason that he does
not want place. His voice will be
largely needed In the selection Of the

though he is being urged and may con.
olude to remain Governor and wait to
step into Mr.. Pendle:on's shoes in the
Senate. There will be no fight between
Foster and Sherman, because Garfield
will not permit 1t. Garfield made Eos
ter politically, and he is anxious to do
whatever Garfield suggests by way Of
certifying q his Administration, and
Garfield knows that, for the good OF all
concerned, Sherman should 90 back to
the Senate, and, for many Of the rea-
sons that make this turn desirable,
Foster will be urged to remain where

"Thers will be q stronger movement
than ever before for Cabinet oficer
