The Albany Times says: THE Republicans are
straining every nerve to prevent the passage of
the apportionment bill by fllibustering They
would like TO have the matter 90 over TO the next
Congress, so that they could give full scope to
their gcrrymandering propensities. They are of
opinion that by such means they could gain at
least twenty members more than they equita-
bly, entitled to. But il is to be hoped that their

THE Cincinnati Commercial SAYS that the latest
Cabinet slate at Washington is Blaine for Secrc-
tary OF state: Morton or FOlger, for Treasurer;
Senator Kirkwood, Of Iowa, for the Interior De-
psrtment: Robert Lincoln. War DEPARTMENT: ex-
Senator Sargent, OF California for Secretary of
War: Foster for Postmaster General: and Wayne
McNeagh. of Pennsylvania for Attorney General.
The question is how nearly this corresponds to
the Mentor slate.

4 WASHINGTON correspondent says the Hunt
ington portrait OF Mrs. Hayes is life size, and rep
resents her standing in a garden or conservatory
beside a beautiful fountain. Her dress is OF ruby
velvet; in one hand she has loose unch OF tea
roses. and with the other hand she holds back the
heavy folds OF her train: slender chain of gold,
with pendent cameo medallion OF President
Hayes, is her only jewelry. The position is
graceful the surroundings appropriate, and the
lace, with It's nrm, sweet NOInallllneSS, VIII
charm visitors long after the loved Lucy Webb
has passed away from earth, when her gentleness,
c0nscentiousness and rare tact will DC things OF
memory or linger like legends in the midst of the
coming years.
MRS HAYES will take Mrs. Garfield and the
venerable mother OF the General with her To the
Capitol on Inauguration day. The presence of the
latter lady will be an unique feature of Presi-
Dental Inauguration. Ii tells well for American
institutions when the widowed mother who saw
her boy 90 out in the uncleared forest 10 cut wood
at twenty. five cents a cord, and bring back his
hard earnings 10 lay in her toll-worn hand, can

The question is being raised whether any iprevi-
Gus Inauguration has been witnessed by the Pres
ident's mother. Mrs. Grant, mother OF the Gene
ral is still living, but she present at either
Inauguration? The mother OF Washington was
living though in age and feebleness.
