There has been some effort to-day to
enlist stalwart Senator'S in Tyner's interest,
but without much success. One such
Senator said this evening that he could see
no grounds for special stalwart sympathy
in the case. Tyner having had the whole
patronage OF the Postotiice Department last
year without having been able to get sin

Convention, the stalwarts owed him
nothing except little lip service,

more than one effort to put stop to the
extravagances committed, all Of which
were frustrated by Key, They point
to the fact that the suppressed report was

Grant arrived here this evening, and has

know the Cabinet slate, but he keeps that
knowledge to himself. A prominentastal.
wart politician, who has seen Grant since
his arrival, says he warmly favors the
appointment Of Conkling us a member
OF the new Cabinet. There are
many who believe that COnkling will 20
into the Cabinet, and among this number
are not few Republican Senators. The
feeling on this subject here Is such that It
would not cause surprise to read Conkling's
name among the nominations when they
are made public. So far as the
facts concerning this branch Of the
subject Gun be obtained, II mp
pears that Conkling himself Is the only
obstacle to his appointment. It Is said that
the President would willingly appoint
COnkling, and has asked the latter to accept,
but TINT Conkling declined. 1t is thought
that probably Gen. Grant comes on some
mission connected with this matter, and
TINT possibly he brings information
OF Conklings willingness TO accept. This
idea Is based upon General Geants warm
friendship for Gonkling and his earnest de-
sire to have him go in the Cabinet. Grant
believes that COnklng would contribute
