THE POSTMASTER-GENERA
THE APPOINTMENT THOUGHT LIKELY TO GO TO OH
OR INDIANA

lBY TELEGRAPH THE rRrBUSE1
WASHINGTON March 20.-General G. III. Gros-
venor of Ohio saw the President to-day and gave
reasons why the vacancy in the Cabinet should be
filled by the appointment Of man from that State.
He urged that Ohio has strong claims for the place.
not only because of the valuable services rendered
by the Republicans there in the past, but because
of the political battle now impending. The vantage
ground for 1884 is to be won or lost in Ohio alone
this year. and not as heretofore in conjunction with
Maine and Indiana He did not come to press the
claims of any particular candidate, he said.
but the appointment of Major Butterworth would,
he thought be very acceptable to Ohio
Repubhcans, who, he declared, were not un-
friendly to the Administration and had sought
to Judge il fairly and without prejudice.
The President appeared to be impressed by Gen.
eral Grosvenors arguments, and without, OF course,
indicating his purposes or intentions, remarked
that he could readily understand that there are
strong reasons in favor of giving Ohio a representa-
ton in the Cabinet at this time
A Republican Senator to-day said he believed
that either Ohio or Indiana would now receive
Cabinet appointment. He intimated also that the
President might think 1t wise to transfer Secre tary
Chandler TO the Post Office Department and take a
Secretary Of the Navy from one of the states be-
fore mentioned. This hardly seems probable, now
ever.
Colonel T. B. Keogh arrived in Washington to
night and some of the gossps think he is after the
Postmaster ship. None of the New-York
visiting statesmen" have yet put In ali appear
ance.
A confidential friend of the President said
to-day that great care and deiiberatlon
will be exercised in the selection of the Postmaster
General. The Attorney General would be asked
whether an ad interim appointment can be renewed,
and in case of an Affirmative opinion that would
probably be done. He understood that there are
some precedents in favor of such a course.
Ii is learned that the Governor and other state
officers of Minnesota have signed petition urging
the President To appoint Mark Ill. Dunnell as fost-
M sfnr-l lieneral.
