THE CABINET MAKERS

Political Household.

Cabinet makers. are thick. Some
say the New England members Of the
Cabinet will be Prof. Wolsey, or some
Yale or Harvard professor. Others
say John Hay, Of Cleveland, will be
Secretary of State Texas is expected
to be first secured to see if it can pro
duce the Southern member. Some
indicate Willard Warner, of Ala
bama, as the man. 4 rchia Camp
bell, Of Wheeling, West Virginia, is
talked of.
The Trib,R8 to-day donounces any
Of the present Cabinet reappoint-
ments.
The Heroa5Gs correspondent says
Sherman will stay if he wants to.
Schurz will settle in Wisconsin, to
try for The Senate, and John Logan
will ask for Secretary Of tie Interior.
Alexander Mcdonald, of Arkansas,
says the South will soon split wido
open, and that Little Rock now has
the old carpet-bag sheriff, Oliver,
called to the Office again by modified
public feeling.
If Galusha A. Grow cannot make
the Senatorship in Pennsylvania,
Garfield may call him to the Cabinet.
Tie republicans have the recon
struction of the supreme bench in
their hands, aud Ben Harrison is
talked of as one of the judges.
Grant is not much in favor for a
Cabinet place. johnson put him in
his Cabinet once, and it was not i
success fer Johnson.
If Gen. Sherman rctires, as it is
promised, Grant may take his old
grade of General of the Army, to
which there would be slight objec-
ton.
Levi P. Morton might have TIE
treasury offered to him as the Cabi-
net selection from New York, but
that might leave a seat in a close
Congress.
Some say Conkling's choice for the
Senate or Cabinet is Matthews.
Wash Special to St. Louis Republican,
The Cabinet of the incoming adj
ministration will be entirely new.
Another thing is noteworthy. While
the New York Tribune says that Gen.
Garfield will make his own Cabinet,
and that he has made no pledges TO
any one, various factions of the re-
publican party are making different
statements. The Blaine men say that
their leader has been promised the
privilege Of naming Cabinet officers;
while the Grant men say that Conk-
ling will name one or more, and that
the Grant element will control the
next administration. Gossip is busy
as 10 whom these stalwart leaders
will name. None who know Garfield
have any faith in the statements that
he will be uncontrolled. It is insisted
on by men who have been prominent
among the stalwarts in the campaign
that Garfield has promised to reward
all those who were prominent factors
in securing the republican victory
Conllling and Grant are chief of
these. Blaine's friends say that he j.
to be rewarded, not for what he did
! in the campaign but because he nomi-
mated Garfield. They have discovered

Outstanding ut Chicago, according to
which the Blaine men were to 20 to
Garfield, if that were necessary to
beat Grant. One Of Blaine's chief
supporters here said to day. Tie was
ut once asked, "rhen Garfield really
was traitor to John Sherman" The
henehman was cornered for moment
but at last faced the music boldly and
answered, "Ofcoursc he was; and I'm
glad Of it. John Sherman had no
business to run" All this Is interest
ing rs denoting the character OF the
crowd John Kelly has put in power.
1t is generally understood that Gar
field Will let Conkling name Thomas
G. Platt as Postmaster General. Plat
is one of Conkhng's most faithful fol-
lowers, and the New York Senat II
asked the Postoffice department tol
him of Hayes; but Hayes snubbcd
/ Conkling and refused his request.
Governor Foster, 1fOhio, Is expected
to be put in the interior department.

do no harm. Logan wants to be
Secretary of War, AMI GarEelJ's
masters will favor him. These three
are appointments that may be safely
discounted. 1t is idle to speculate
concerning crest. The Grant men
insist that they Will be chiefly consult
ed about them.
