THE Philadelphia Press furnishes
its quota of gossip relative to Presi-
dent Garfield's cabinet.
1t says its informant is man OF
high personal character, of strong
political standing, one who is nearer
to the parties concerned than per
haps any other, and who also knows
AZ much of the President elect, and
his views as any man in the country.
He says;
"In the first place New York
will have a cabinet officer thorough
! " acceptable to every school of
politics in the Empire State. He
will probably be Congressman Levi
P. Morton. He will have one of the
higher portfolios, doubtless either
the State or Treasury. There will
also be Cabinet officer from New
England, entirely acceptable TO Mr..
Blaine. as well as to the scholar IN
politics Pennsylvania will have
representation in the Cabinet, but II
will not be Don Cameron, for the
sufficient reason that he does not
want it. His father is out of active
politics. and both Don Cameron and
| his friends believe it his duty to
remain in the Senate, where he can
have an eye on Pennsylvania's III
| tereSts.
Secretary Sherman viii not re-
main in the Cabinet, but will sue
ceed Thurman in the Senate. Gov
ernor Foster can have one of the
business portfolios, the Interior or
the Post Office, although he is being
urged and may conclude to remain
Governor and wait to step into Mr..
Pendleton's shoes in the Senate.
There will be no fight between Fos-
ter and Sherman, because Garfield
will not permit it. Garfield made
Foster politically, and he is anxious
to do whatever Garfield may suggest
by way of fortifying his Admins
tration, and Garfield knows that, for
the good of all concerned. Sherman
should 60 back to the Senate, and,
for many of the reasons that make
this plans desirable, Foster will be
urged TO remain where he is. II
Foster does not 90 into the Cabinet
General Ben Harrison, of Indiana,
will unless he prefers the Senator
ship from that State, and can get it.
General Logan, can, | think, be
Secretary of War if he desires, but
his friends say he prefers to remain
in the Senate. IfLogan is out OF
the question then General Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, formerly United
States Senator, win be well thought
! of by the new President.
There will be stronger move
{ ment than ever before for q Cabinet
officer from the Pacific coast. Sen
ator Booth of California will be
pushed. Senator John 2. Jones OF
Nevada would be a strong candi.
date were it not that the Legislature
of Nevada is Democratic and would
return q Democrat in his place if he
were to leave the Senate.
General Garfield has q strong
feeling for one Southern man in his
cabinet, but if one is named he will
: be recognized Republican. There
. Will be no old-hne Wing business
or reconstructed brother about it this
time Besides being Republican
he viii be a man of character, men
; tai force and position. Horace
, Maynard viii be urged for the place
he now has. Judge Settle of North
Carolina is also spoken of 1t is re-
garded as important that the South
should have representation now in
view of the evident tendency of that
, section to drift away from its idols. -
"Will Marshall Jewell go into the
Cabinet?"
He may He was General Gar,
fields choice for the ChairmanshiI
! of the National Committee and was
. supported by the anti-Grant ele.
! ment, but it is more than probable
l that be will get a foreign mission
: which it is believed he prefers"
, "Will Dorsey be taken care OFF"
, Most assuredly, if he desires to
be, for he has been one of the main
stays of the campaign. His pluck
r and ability have gone very far to
l achieve victory. ] DO not think hC
. will go into the Cabinet however
He has made great deal Of money
in mines. and | believe would pre-.
5 fer to go abroad in a diplomatic po
sition and enjoy it"
