GENERAL POLITICAL NEWS.

GOFERNOR tOSlEHS
NO DESIRE FOR CABINET PosITIoN-GENERAL
GARFIELDs SELECTIONS NOT YET FINALLY MADE.
Governor Foster, of Ohio, arrived at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel yesterday morning. He was asked
by TRrRUNE reporter whether it was generally
considered in Ohio that the Senatorship question
was to be reopened. Governor Foster said that if
allusion was made to the report that Secretary
Sherman would be appointed to the Secretaryshp OF
the Treasury and that he Fosterl would be elected
to succeed him in the United States Senate such re-
ports were purely speculative. Z" do not mean to
say," said the Governor that such an event is i'm
probable but lit occurs it will be because General
Garfield in looking about him, will be unable to find
q man for Secretary Of the Treasury whose ability
and general fitness for that position are so well rec
ognized as Mr.. Sherman's"
Have you any idea concerning the complexion
of General Garfeld's CabinetP y
"Isaw General Garfield about ten days ago. I
know that he is endeaVoring to make wise selec-
ton, but has not as yet made any final choice for
any one of the Cabinet portfolios"
"It has been understood in certain political cir
oles that you were to be one of General Garheld's
Cabinet"
"It is true that some Of my friends are endeavor-
ing to bring such a result about. do not court
such position, however. rather prefer an office
secured by the win of the people. regard the ac-
ceptance of a Cabinet position as the end Of public
mans career. Were ] to go into the Cabinet 1t
would DO under circumstances that would leave me
free To act untrammelled and without making any
pledges. have so stated to General Garfield"
