New York Press on the Cabinet

NEW YORK, March 5.-The Herald says:
| The Cabinet Is a body of vigorous men, most
| of them Young. Window, James, Lincoln,
| Blaine and McVeagh are all in the prime and
| yigor of manhood. We cannot call II an
| able Cabinet, by no means as able as that Oh
Haves'. We should say that Blaine Is the
| one man of genius, the real leader. The
country will not see such Cabinet as was
formed by Pierce, Buchanan or Lincoln, put
| a group of earnest, practical men, devoeu 10
the Republican cause and anxious to dotheir
best to support the President and serve tne
nation. The Cabinet begins its work with
the confidence of the country, and deserving
the confidence of the Republican party we
congratulate President Garfield upon having
done as well rs he has.
The Times says: That Blaine's presence
i'm the Cabinet will give lively satisfaction 10
large body of active and earnest R'pupl-
cans there can be no doubt. Windows Sc
, lection as Secretary of the Treasury Will
satisfy hot only the Republicans, but also
|, the numerous organizations which are grad
: ually hardening into party, and which, IN,
Q cludng Greenbackers, Republicans and
e Democrats, has for its principles the plat,
: form of the anti-Monopoly League. vi
!. James as Postmaster General 1t is only nee.
y essary to say he Is the right mar
= In the right place. The appointment o
|, Wayne McVeagh as Attorney General has
= double merit, being evidence of the Presl
dents approval Of the best type OF political
independence, and of his appreciation o
It genuine ability and force of character. Kirk
J. wood has q very respectable record. .udg'
d Hunt represents the highest type Of iativ
Southern Republicanism, fearless, ZONES
and statesmanlike. Robert Lincoln inherit
s. a name which the American people can neye
L "A h. fQati
K mony of his friends, has untried abilit
: which will do no discredit to his father
memory.
q The Sun, after referring to each membe
~ of the Cabinet, says: Ii is evident that tn
Q. Cabinet is not Of the Conkling stripe. tn
=. New York Senator gets only the husk,
N These are very wholesome fodder, but n,
q, so fattening as corn. Col. James appears o
of the surface to be Cooking appointment
but is understood to be Blaine's bosor
,,o friend. Mcpherson Is to be LIST Asst. Pos
'o master General, and TO control the patronat
ey In Blaine's interest, SO the kernel Of that a
ut pointment will be eaten by the Secretary |
ut State. We shall see. Give Garfield and q
cabinet q fair show. Z. .'.--, ......
Vi The World says: The Presidential nlou
tain, in labor, has brought forth litter
ch Cabinet mice. Two men Of positive streng
its and weight should be excepted from I'll
yerdict-Blaine and James. III we set as
"s energerIc aIfu prugrcSsrvc rfcmenr OF r-the
publican party, and James as the represent
ch tive Of administrative experience,the renal
ing Offices are 50 filed as to nullify the val
- Of the Cabinet either for the Republican ps
'as ty or for public administration. We cohsi
er the appointment of Window unit al
amazing.
The Post, in its financial article, sa.
tie Senator Window is regarded here as, TO p
1t mildly, an expansionist, and the theo
lch on which Wall street is acting Is that
rs, will turn adrift good part on the Treasu
IN by means of bond purchases. II may be I'll
- his views, when he has the responsibility
y office upon him, will be more conseryati
MP than his record on the currency euesti
ans leads speculators to expect.
r 8 The Commercial says lfthe appointme
of of Window to the Treasury Is confirmed
later news, II may be taken for granted Il
no. the Western policy on a currency of gold a
no silver coin and debt-paying to the last ava
of able dollar in the Treasury will rule In
e;r new Cabinet. Blame, who is to be Premi
Is as much In favor of this policy as Windt
W himself Nor is the President any other th
The gold and silver man and will soon prov,
ers debt-paying in place of debt-refunding {
,,r- ecntive. After the Cabinet was announce
so far as the Treasury is concerned, the

vas the counterpart of the running down in
the panic last week.
