Special to the Sentinel
WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.-Frank Hurd
gave a Free Trade dinner last night. There
we're thirty guests present. and initial
steps we're taken toward a Congressional
Free Trade organization and campaign
throughout the country. The following
gentlemen we're selected the officers OF the
association s.. s. Cox Of New York, Presi-
dent: W. R. Morrison of Illinois, John g.
Carlisle Of Kentucky, E. 0. Mills of Texas,
A.. J. Randolph Tucker of Virginia, Mr..
Hammond of Georgia, Brogg OF Michigan,
Lefevre of Ohio, Blackburn of Kentucky,
and Townsend of Illinois, Vice-Presidents.
Speeches were made by .Hurd. Cox,
Springer. Lefevre, Knott, Morrison, Town
send and others. Nearly all declared them
selves in favor of making free trade a
prominent feature of Democratic policy
from this time forth, with a view to making
it a leader in the National issue in 1884.
No Blaine Men at Mentor.
NEW York, Feb. 23.-The Herald says
of the recent silence that has fallen upon
Blaine's name as the proposed Premier.
When our Washington correspondent con-
versed with Mr.. Blaine, a few weeks ago,
he was to be Premier and to have a Blaine
Cabinet throughout, with Wayne McWeigh
from Philadelphia, and long suffering Will
liam HI. Robertson from Westchester, and
there was to be a general reconstruction of
things. Suddenly it ceased. Blaine van
ished behind the rheumatism. Chandler
of New Hampshire, Governor Mccormick
of Arizona, Elkins Of New Mexico, and
their associates, melted into air like the
witches in Macbeth. We never hear OF
Blaine men at Mentor nor in Washington.
All is silence.
Garfield-s Cabinet.
NEW YORK, Feb. 49, The Herald's
Cleveland correspondent says he is permit
ted, through assurance that may be relied
on, to give nearly a complete list Of the
forthcoming Cabinet as it now stands. 1t
is as follows Secretary of State, Blaine /;
Secretary of the Treasury, Chas. ]. Folger;
General. Chas. Foster; Secre-
tary OF the Navy, Nathan Goff, Jr. The
other three members will be Horace Davis
Of California, Jas. W. Wilson of Iowa, and
ex-senator Howe of Wisconsin. Mrs.
Davis and Mrs. Garfield are warm friends,
and as the General wants a member from
the Pacific slope, to balance the two i'm
portant offices which he is giving in the
East, there can be no better man selected
than Davis.
