West Virginia's Favorite Son-"He Will
Be Retained in the Cabinet by the In
coming Administration"
A special from Wheeling, West Nir-
ginia, says the appointment OF General
Nathan GOff to be Secretary OF the Navy,
gives unbounded satisfaction among all
classes, and the opinion prevails that he
will be retained in the Cabinet 10y the
incoming administration. General Con
is a staunch Republican, was gallant
soldier during the war, a candidate Tor
| Gubernatorial honoTs in 1876, and has
sacrificed more than any other Repub-
lican in that State for the good OF his
party. II West Virginia, then,
is to have cabinet posi-
ton. Mr.. Golf is gentle
man who has the ability to fill it; and
TO his credit, be it said, is not the candl-
date, through the nedium OF Gath,
set forth i'm the Cincinnati Enquirer, nor
has he ever bolted his ticket or princl-
pies because of disappointed ambition.

1t is understood that General Goff is
| to be continued as Secretary of the Navy
| under President Garfield, and that 1t
was with such an understanding he was
appointed by President Hayes GOH
was born in Virginia. 1t is stated in
this connection that General Garfield

/ met to Campbell, editor of the Wheel
| ing IateilignCer, but Campbell's cOnnec-
ton with the church founded by his
| uncle, and General Garheld's member
| ship in the same church was regarded
as likely to lead to unjust gossip, Tor
which reason Campbell was not nOmi-
| mated, but as West Virginia Republl-
cans did some admirable campaign work,
it was decided to make some prominent
| recognition OF that fact, and GOH was
/ considered in every way worthy OF

that Goff will be retained bv Garfield

Senatorial Opinion Blaine's Interest in
the Matter.
There seems to be an impression that
| Goffs prospects for remaining i'm the
/ Cabinet under General Garfield are
very good. This impression was quite
general among Senators on the floor to-
dav, because of the interest taken in
/ the matter 5y Mr.. Blaine, who tacity
admits to his brother Senators that ne
is to be the premier of General Gar
/ fields Cabinet. Gof ranks high as a
man of character and ability, and was
described to-day by a West Virginia
Democrat as the best Republican in the
| State Washington Correspondence Cm-
/ cinRdh Commercial.
Another View-The Reason Why
Prominent Republicans, who are
claiming to know of Gen. Garheld's de-
sires in the case, are giving out that he
has been consulted, and will retain Mr..
Gof. They have further declared that
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1881-01-08

the reason that Gen. Garfield has de-
cided to give West Virginia place In
the Cabinet, and the appointment OF
Golf will relieve him from considering
the case of Mr. A. w. Campbell, who Is
a member of the Campbellite Church,
and who could not he appointed without
seriously embarrassing Gen. Garfield

There is an idea abroad that Nathan
Gof. who has been appointed Secretary
of the Navy, is the etvmperdnce lecturer,

the appointment. 1t is needless to say
that this trihing with grave is a question.

Importance of Goff's Nomination.


The nomination OF General Gof is
chiefly important IN view of the pOssl-
bility OF his remaining in the next Adj
ministration. Although the fact that
Mr. Blaine was interested in his ap.
pointment leads many to think tina. he
will be retained in the next Cabinet, it
is doubtful If Gen. Golf was selected with
any such understanding on Gen Gar
fields part 1t is said that he would
not be likely to resign an office
worth several thousands year
to take seat in the Cabinet
for two months. This reasoning would
be worthy Of consideration, were it not
not for the fact that the President has
promised to make no appointment TO
the vacant District AttOrneyship. The
office will be left to the next admins
trdtior to fll and there is no doubt but
that Ucn Goff will be restored to his
old place, if his services in new field
are not demanded. At the same time
West Nirginians here insist that Gen
Golf is TO hold over as Secretary Of the
Navy OF the next administration
