The present Cabinet will be disposed OF as
follows, In order TO give the incoming President
clear field: Secretary Sherman will most likely
be in the Senate. from Ohio; Mr.. ScAurz will
ems may 60 upon the Supreme Bench; Postmas-
ter-Genersl Maynard expects his party will be
powerful enough to make him Senator from
Tennessee; Secretary Thompson, 1t is said, wants
q foreign mission; Secretary Evars, it is said,
wants nothing; and Secretary of War Ramsey
is moi yet named for any place. For the Gar
field Cabinet il is said that Mr.. L. P. Morton, of
New York will he offered the Secreiaryship Of
the Treasury, Mr.. Frye or Mr.. Hale, of Maine,
could have Cabinet position, but do net want
it; each feeling quite confident the Maine Legis-
lature will elect him to the u. 8. Senate, to
succeed Senator Hamlin. Massachusetts lays
claim to place in the new Cabinet, but If Maine
will take it, the Bay State will be asked to
subside, in view of the fact that she has had
Cabinet honors ever since the Republican party
held power. 1t is thought that Senators Blaine
and Conkling will be offered Cabinet portfolios,
but both would decline, preferring to remain in
the Senate. Senator Cameron will be offered
one also, but will prefer to name friend for it,
and will he gratiied. Senator Logan will have
an Illinsis friend in the Cabinet, and it may be
General Grant. II Mr. Maynard should fail TO
be elected U. s. Senator, it may be that he will
be reappointed in the Cabinef, to represent the
South in consideration of his brief service under
President Hayes. "Vox."
