WASHING roS, November ll.-Pr!vate /
ady;ces received here from Ohio are to
the effect that Governor Foster does not
want cabinet position under Gartle!d,
ami would decline il ii offered, but that

enough in the Ohio Legislature To- elect
him. His candidacy has been ou.sPoEen.
AMI il is said that he will nr; derIate
from MS course now that Secrrtuy
sherman is i candidate for the sam" po-
sition. Republicans here regret that
matters are taking this shape, tor II Is
said that contest for the Senatorship
between Sherman and FOster-one
Secretary OF the Treasury ami the other
Governor Of Ohio-wouid not be
good thing iOr the party. Among Re
publicans generally in Washington the
hope is expressed that Secretary Sher-
rnan will remain at the head OF the
Treasury, where he is So prominently
useful. and tina, Foster will come - the
senate. This would b. 4 natural ami
friendly solution OF what may become
dlsagreeabie complication in the party.
Foster is well liked here, and his friends
would be pleased TO see hIul have what
ne wants, but a contest Tor TIE senator
ship between Foster aud Sherman IS not
regarded "a desirable on any account.
The general belief is. however, tina: Gen.
Garfield will desire Mr.. Sherman to re-
main at the head OF the Treasury as the

that General Garfield regards himsel!
as under political Obligations TO Coax

hostile 70 sherman.
Tho Senate.
Ii is hoped, as has previously been in
umated among leading Republicans,
that they will control the next Senate,
although there is majority OF two
ayains. them on the face OF the returns.
Bat a strong effort will be made to bring
the Senate into harmony with the Presi-
dent AMI the IlOuSe. \ member OF the
Cahinent who has counted noses says
that in his opinion there ia no dOuo.
but that both branches OF Congress and
the President will be in subst initial ac'
cord. Gen. Malone came here last
night. He had 4 good many callers to-
dav, but he avoids carefully any expres-
sions in regard to politics. Because of
the fact that he WAS in company with
several prominent Republicans today
The partisans oi that side are very much
encouraged.
Dou Cameron Prepared.
