is not of the Conkling stripe. The New York
Senator gets only the husks. These are very
wholesome fodder, but not so fattening as

and his cabinet fair show"
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, March 5.---The Re-
publican says: "Garfelds cabinet is not as
good as his inaugural. 1t is mediocre, spotty,
and full of holes. Blaine is an unfit man to
dominate on administration. Window, for
secretary of the treasury, is shock to the
business interests of the country. He has
been wrong on all financial questions; under
Garfield he will do, perhaps. Lincoln IS a
passenger, not an oar. James, postmaster
general, is first, happy stroke, and the best
appointment. McVeigh attorney general, is
equally good. Kirkwood, for the interior, is
also good appointment, but the cabinet as
whole does not compare with Hayes"
New YORK, March 5.-The Times says
that Blaine's presence in the cabinet will give
satisfaction to large body Of active and ear
nest Republicans there can be no possible
doubt. Windom's selection as secretary of
the treasury, will satisfy not only Rebubli-
cans, but Democrats, Of an organization which
is gradually hardening into paryt land which
includes Greenbackers, Republicans and DEM
ocrats, and has for its principles and
platform an anti-monopoly league Of
James as postmaster general it is only neces-
sary to say he is the right man in the right
place. The appointment of Wayne McVeagh
as attorney general has double merit, being
evidence of the Presidents approval of the best
type of political independence. and of his ap
probation of genuine ability and force of
character. Kirkwood needs only the same in
dependence of partizans interference
and unfagging industry of his
predecessor to leave his department in the same
high state of efficiency and purity in which he
finds it. Judge Hunt represents the highest
type of native Southern Republicanism, and
fearless, honest craftsmanship. Robert Lin
coin inherits name which the American peo-
pie can never cease to reverence, and according
to the testimony of his friends has untried
ability which will do no discredit to his fa-
theirs memory
CHICAGO, March 5.-The Tribune to-mor-
row will say of Garfield's cabinet: "1he COM
position of the cabinet will afford general sat
Isfaction. 1t meets all the requirements of.lo-
cal1ty. 1t has a high average of ability, un-
questioned integrity and in its collective ca
pacity averages an unusual experience cf pub
lie affairs and knowledge of the duties pertain
ing to the several offices. Mr.. Blaine is in no
sense a national character. lie is an Eastern
dom in point of ability ranks high as sound
and clear headed thinker. The appointment of
Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Window may be accepted
as committing the new administra ton
thoroughly to support the dou-
BILE standard and actively EN-
ploy the influence of the republic
to extend it over Europe and America. Mr..
Lincoln possesses all the qualitca ions for a
good executive officer, and is better fitted for
the war department than most of those who
have held it. 1t was graceful thing for Gen.
Garfield to honor the son of the Illinois Presi-
dent. The people of Illinois will thank him
for it, Mr.. James will bring to the postoffice
department the highest order of fitness. He
will not delegate his duties to assistants. He
will open the rotten, fowl, extravagant star
service and repair the mischief that Key,
through gross negligence permitted to be
done. On the whole, the cabinet should be
regarded as fair compromise between all the
various elements of the party.
