Special Correspondence to the New York Herald
CLEVELAND, Feb. 18 Mr.. Emory b.
Storrs, of Chicago, arrived here to-day.
He was en- route for Nav York, and
stopped off here fer the purpose of writ
Ing General Garfield long letter on the
situation in the East He refused to sub
nit to an interview at first, but finally
yielded after considerable solicitation. He
said he went to New York upon the invita-
tion Of a number of prominent Republican
politicians for the purpose of using his
influence to harmonize the many elements
Ia the party. He dined with Hamilton
Fish and the Union Lssgue Club, mestine
with all political shades and grades, and
found the only way TO adjust matters In
satisfactory way was to propose a COM
promise. He did not see Senator Conk-
ling, but talked with number of his
fright hand" men. He also had
an interview with General Grant
and learned from him what terms
Mr.. Conkling would probably agree to.
Messrs Grant and Oonkling, so Storrs
said, were closeted together for four hours
previous to the latter's trip to Mentor.
Said MIR. Storrs, when questioned con.
oerninR MIR Il. p. Morton's place in the
Cabinet; "Mr. Morton's business being
that of banker, and his firm being
engaged in dealing with government
securities, would disqualify him under an
act of Congress from holding the position
of Secretary of the Treasury. The objec-
tions TO Mr.. Morton's appointment do not
proceed from any disirust of his ability
nor dislike of him as a gentleman. Mr..
Conkliog's friends do not look upon the
appointment of Mr. Morton as a proba-
bility, and are prepared to acquiesce most
cordially in Its abandonment.
"How about Thomas l. james for Post
master Genera -
MIR. James is vsry popular and should
remain where he is. The leading men of
the State would like larger place than
the Post Office Department for New
York"
"What would best suit all interests In
New York and harmonz9 all elements p
Every body cannot be suited, but be-
iieye the appointment Of Charles G Folger
as Secretary of the Treasury would give
the largest amount of satisfaction to the
larger proportion of the party. The OBJ
lection is That he ought not to be with
drawn from the Bench of the Court of
Appeals, of which he is now Chief Justice.
| think the friends of MIR. Conkliug would
in the main be satisfied with the selection
of Mr.. Folger, who has good deal Of
political sagacity, il most skilful debater,
and man OF most remarkable independ-
ence of thought aud personal popularity.
l think that the appointment of
Secretary Of tue Treasury
whose financial Jews were at all uncertain
or hazy, from any portion of the West.
would excite distrust throughout the East
and Middle States, which work great
deal of injury
In private conversation Mr. Storrs
said that Judge Foieer had been
teleeraphed by General Garfield to visit
him aud that the Judge would come West
Immediately. Mr.. Storr5 gave the
understand that all dissgreemenis had been
settled in New York and that General
Grant is to be credited with the submia-
sions of Conkliug.
