The composition of the Cabinet will
afford general satisfaction. 1t will meet
all the requirements of locality. 1t has
a high average of ability, and unuuest0n-
ed integrity, and in its collective capaci.
ty very gnusual experience of public
officers and knowledge Of the duties per-
taining to the several officers.
rnrupo 9hnrs.l
in the geographical distribution of the
Cabinet, Garfield has been generous to
the Northwest.

1t is evident the Cabinet is not of the
COnkhng stripe The New York Senator
gets only the husks. These are very
wholesome fodder. but not so fattening
as corn.
NJ" ldik Times
That Blaine's presence in the Cabinet
will give lively satisfaction to large
body of active and earnest Republicans
there can be no possible doubt.
New lurk World,
The Presidential mountain in labor has
brought forth II litter of Cabinet mice.
Two men alone Of positive strength and
weight should be expected from this YER
dict, Blaine and james. The appoint
ment of Window is unfit and amazing.
New York Herald
The Cabinet is body of vigorous men,
most of them young. We cannot call it
an able r'abinet, by no means as able as
that of Hayes. We should say that
Blaine is the one man of genius, the one
real leader. The country will see not
such cabinet as was formed by Pierce,
Buchanan, or Lincoln. but group of
earnest, practical men, devoted to the
Repu ublican cause, and anxious to do
their best to support the President and
serve the nation.
Boston llcrald.l
Ii is certainly inferior to the Cabinet
of President Hayes in important respects.
James appointment is one to be unre-
servedly approved. Perhaps beyond
any other man in the country he is tittest
for the Postoffice.
(Springfelj Republican
Garfield's Cabinet is not as good as his
inaugural. 1t is mediocre, spotty and
full of holes. Blaine is an unfit man to
dominate as administrator. Window as
Secretary of the Treasury is a shock 10
the business interests of the countr-,
He has been wrong on all financial ques-
tions. Uuder Garfield he will do per-
haps. Lincoln is passenger, not an
oar. James as Postmaster General is the
first happy stroke, and the best appoint
ment.
1t is respectable Cabinet, but not q
great one. The greatest man in it is
Senator Blaine, and from him it tapers
down by regular gradation to small
point. 1t is a disappointing Cabinet
1t is an attempt to compromise geographic
cal claims with political difficulties, an
effort to arrange party preferences by the
distribution of party patronage. The
Cabinet. as a whole. does not rise above
mediocrty. Senator Blaine and Windon
are the only two men in it of real ma
tional reputation.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
President Garfield's Cabinet looks top
heavy. Blaine is at the head, and is
head and shoulders above any other
man in it. The other six couldn't much

against the Secretary of State. Mr..
Blaine is in position to mold the Ad-
ministration. Unless Garfield asserts
himself with an emphasis and steadiness
not expected from him, Blaine is likely
to be the boss.
The selection of the Cabinet is not a
masterpiece of craftsmanship or political
performance. 1t is not the Cabinet
which Garfield had in his mind when he
left Mentor. 1t is the result of the poll
tical trading and patching that Garfield
allowed after he arrived at Washington
Cincinnati Commercially
President Garfield's Cabinet will strike
the country favorably. He has not
pleased everybody, and, perhaps, kas
learned already that it is impossible to do
so.
