Cabinet Rumors and Secretary Sherman.

Cabinet Rumors and Secretary Sherman.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The Ohio GENTLE
men who have been here in conference with
Secretary Sherman say that all reports that
the latter is seeking to be retained in the Cab
met are untrue; that, on the contrary, he de-
sres to be returned to the Senate, and is ar
ranging his affairs with view to making an
aggressive campaign, and will undoubtedly, at
the proper time, establish headquarters at the
State capital for that purpose. The report
that Gen. Garfield has informed Secretary
Sherman that he would be glad to retain him
in his Cabinet is believed to be untrue, and the
general impression is that an entirely new
Cabinet will be selected The Ohio politicians
who have been here say that although the
fight will be very earnest one there, it is
most probable that Secretary Sherman will be
elected to the Senate.

person who obtained letter from Gen. Gar
field early in the campaign on the pretence
that, as civil service reformer, he wished
some doubts settled. 1t is reported that it has
been discovered that the envelope that was
used in the Morey letter was one which had
probably been addressed to the editor of Truth,
as the initials, as disclosed by the microscope,
are the same
