INVITATION TO a SEAT IN TIE CABINET.
Washington dispaich to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
February 14,h.l
II Is due TO Senator Blaine TO tell the true
story OF how he was asked TO take place In
the Cabinet. The circumstances attending
the tender OF the place 10 the Maine Senator
have long been known 10 your correspond
cut. They are these, and are absolutely
correct: When Garfield. in November last,
contemplated a visit to Washington, Sen
atOr Blaine was at Bangor, Ne. Garfield
wrote the Senator in words almost identical
q. follows:

Il will be in Washington on the cath in.

yate business. II convenient. | would like
to see you there. JAMES A. GARFIELD
Blaine received this note by due cOufse of
nail, and arrived in this city on Friday the
20 of November, the Presideni-elC Ct
having arrived on the Tuesday pre- cedng.
On The afternoon Of the day OF seuator
Bane's arrival he called on General Gar

this city. For Two hours The President.

without interruption from single person.

out reservation, rendered the State Depart
meut to Senator Blaine.
TIE offer was quite a surprise to Blaine,
for il was thoroughly unexpected. After
ne had recovered from it Blaine said
"General. | vas hardly prepared for this
tender on your part. l do not know how
TO make answer. ! would like some time
for reflection and consultation. and In the
I nil oAxi- - 4 ,at.
held then aud there urged Blaine to accept,
but he made no binding answer at The time.
subsequently Blaine had conference with
h> closest frieudS, and the weight Of their
testimony Was that he should accept the
place. Said he, Gentlemen, am inclined
10 accept General Gariield's offer; but
meanwhile l will for very short pc
rod sliH further hold 1t under ad.
yisement." After this conference with
his friends, the fact that General
Garfield had offered the Senator the Secre-
tars ship Of State was communicated to one
or two Of Senator Blalue's confidential
newspaper friends. Blaine said: q" Ii the
sentiment OF the country endorses the seec-
ton General Garfield has made will &c

December the announcement was made 10
the Enquirer aud one or two other DeWsDa-
pers, directly and absolutely, tbal Senator
Blaine had been invited by General Garfield
10 lake the State Department. Ii soon be-
cane accepted as fac. The universal
expression OF newspaper opinion wa, that
the selec Ion was good one. Thereupon
Senator Blaine wrote a long letter to Gene
raj Garfield accepting the place. This is the
story OF Blaine and the Secretaryshlp OF
State. He will take the Office on the 4th OF
March next II he lives.
