STILL DISCUSSING BAYARD.
rSDacial Talagrar, n tho cloha

organ, the Baltimore San, has some fresh in
spiration this morning touching the Della
ware senator. Ii saws: Inquiry in reliable
quarters appears to demonstrate that there
is no foun datiOn for the Albany dispatch that
Senator Bayard had been rendered and ac-
cepted the position of secre tary of the treas
ury under Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is believed to
be fact that Mr.. Bayard's own inclnations
would tend toward the treasury department,
but be would be the last man to make such a
suggestion or allow it to be made in his own
behalf. It is not thought by those best en-
titled TO know that Mr.. Cleveland will ask Mr..
Bayard to become secretary of the treasury.
The most intimate friend of Mr.. Bayard does
not to-day know whether or not he will go
into the cabinet, and no public expression,
at least on this subject, need be expected
from Mr.. Bayard until an offer Is formally
made. There are reasons which, after due
delibera.ion, may possibly induce him to
prefer remaining in the senate, although the
impression is that he will take the state de-
partment There is naturally much talk on
the subject of the cabinet among representa-
tive southern men, and the sentiment has
been freely expressed by them that, in
considering the south in this eonuec-
ton. the president elect should regard only
the states south of the Potomac as properly
coming under the political designation of
the south. This would include Mr.. Bayari
in the list of members accredited to the
north, but it is doubtful whether this accep-
tation would be agreeable to that section.
II is a matter, however, which Mr.. Cleve-
land will undoubtedly determine for him
self. There is quite an influential class of
Democrats who are in favor OF combining the
cabinet sections to states which voted for
Cleveland and Hendricks, and, If they have
the opportunity, they propose to communi-
cate their views TO the new executive, but
this is also a matter which Mr.. Cleveland
will in all probability settle according
to his own way of thinking. Any such rule
as this would exclude some very excellent
cabinet material. In regard to the frequent
mention Of the names OF ex-senator Melon
aid, of Indiana, and Judge Thurman and
Senator Pendleton, of Ohio, for cabinet
places, it can be said on good authority,
than which there can be none better,
that Mr.. Cleveland up to this time never for
one moment contemplated inviting either of
them to a place in his cabinet, and it would
very much surprise those who know him best
If such an idea should occur to him in the
future.
CLEvELAND's HOME FOLLOWERS.
News comes from BuiTllo that all is not
harmony IN the Democratic ranks, and the
Courier, which has been for years the organ
Of the party, is assailed by the Times on
charges that it has been insincere in its adj
vocAcy of Cleveland. The Times is a red hot
paper, and fairly bristles with sharp adjec-
lives. The Republican papers sought to
widen the breach By encouraging the fight
ers, but the newspaper controversy has been
dropped. Meanwhile about 479 Buffalo poll
| ticians have declared themselves can
| didates for government positions,
and Gov. Cleveland has found it
necessary to insist on having cards presented
by all Buffalo men who call on him at the ex
ecutive mansion in Albany. They all wan
offices, and most of the Democrats who have
not declared themselves are anxiously await
/ ing a stroke Of lightning. Wilson Bissell
the law partner of the president-elect, hai
been quoted as say ing that they will be dis
appointed.
HE DIDN'T MENTION BLAINE.
| Quite free discussion is going on in tn,
| Republican press and party of New Yorl
state over the warmness of President Ar
thurs support of Mr.. Blaine. 1t grows on
of the formers candidacy for the senate
! The GLOBE correspondent was given to
day a curious inside glimpse of thu
history of the presidents cabinet On Oct.
| 20, when the business mems Republican
meeting was held in Wall street. a resolution
was adopted favoring the election of Blaine
aud Logan, and one of Endorsement o
the administration. A copy was transmit
ted to Mr. Arthur, and it was thought b
might take the opportunity to reply in sue
way that his friends would take the GU
and fall into line for the ticket His repl
was duly received. When it was shown t
leading Republicans, many of them hi
former friends, 1t was concluded that it
contents would have so depressing al
effect on the canvass that it was not best {
permit it to be made public. Meanwhile on
or two copies had been made, and one G
these fell into the GLOBE correspondent
hands to-day. Here it is:
