The differences Between Cabinet OFF
GERS Senators. and the President.

NEW YORK, April -Chancey ]. Felley,
who has lust returned from Washington,
where he has been for some time past in in
innate relations with the President and high
officials. makes the following statement re-
earding the reported differences between
the Cabinet officers and senators and the
President
Newspaper reports upon all these matters
Gre all eYaggerated and cOlored TO make
them accord with the sources from which
they emanate TO suit parties In whose inter-
est they are promulgated. There i no
doubt but that Acknowledgement Mae
Veagh has taken decided stand against
Mr.. Chandler for SoIlcltOr-General. This
action OF MacNeagh's antagOuiZes Secretary
Blaine. and makes the contest a personal
one as between MacN eagh, Blaine. and the
President. This y particularly the case, IS
il i, reported that MacNea@h is endeavor-
ingto defeat Chlndler's confirmation, which
makes direct personal issue between the
Attorney General and the President. This,
connected with MacVcagh'S public declara-
lions against General R9um's declarations,
made in the presence Of several gentlemen
in his (MacNeg9h'>) office, indicates vari-
aDce of opinion between him ana the gene
raj policy Of the Administration, which,
A. senator Ben. Harrison said, II al
lowed to prevail, would make both lodlana
and MacVeagn's state pennsylvania DEM
ocralic. The differences arising between
the New York Senators and the president
i not one about individuals really but
about the observance OF the usual courtesy
towards senators and congressman as re-
CARDS appointments IN their Respective
States. In this matter all Republican
senators and congressman are inter-
ested. One OF the matters OF difference
between General Gal field and Presl.
dent HAYES was that General GalneId
was not Onsulied about many appointments
in his own district. and, in fact, many were
made over bis head. This General Garfield
did not relish or approve, and that he should
NOT was very natural under the circum-
stances. This Is the position OF Senators
Conkiing and Plat. They would have been
satisfied 10 let Merritt remain collector OF
New York. Whatever fight IS made VIII be
unon this issue, and the result cannot, OF
cdur.o. now be seen. TIE Bane-Cbandler-
M,cVeach contest l. q different AFFAIR. ana
the staIwarts generally agree with Blame
and Chandler. | did not hear up 10 tDe
time | left Washington any expression OF
nurnose Of any fight being made by senator
Copklipg: in fact, the Senator then hao
given no publicity TO any such intention.
An effort on the part OF some parties 10 keep
up factions and TO prejudice the President
against those who supported General Grant
would amount 10 nothing. General Grant ;
meetings. with the President were en'lrely
pleasant, aud he General Grant, remarked
that he never saw better disposed man
than General Garfield. IL remains with
General Garfield TO say whether he VIII
have the solid support OF the " 3O6 Tor
his Administration, as he bad the earnest
and effective support OF the Grant men Ior
his. election. The Grant men, so called,
have raised such questions, and in common
win all well.meaning and true party men
believe IN one solid Republican party.
