PETERSBURG, VA, Nov. 13.-In the
case of the Commonwealth VS.. Thomas
Whyte, late cashier of the Planters and
Mechanics Bank, which was set down
for trial in the Hastings Court to-day, a
nOlle prOsequi was entered at the sugges-
ton of the Commonwealth's attorney,
who stated that he was frank enough to
admit that it would be useless for him to
go to trial with the case with the testi-
mony he had been able to get. If he could
get other and stronger testimony against
the accused by the next term of court he
would draw up another Indictment
against the prisoner, but unless he
could do so the case would be at
an end. The principal witness in this
case was W. Whyte, late teller of the
Planters and Mechanics Bank, and
nephew of Thomas Whyte. who was in
dicted for making two fraudulent entries

CABINET MAKERS AT WORK
Selecting President Elect Cleveland's
Advisers

The Democrats at the capitol. saws
Washington special to the New York
Times OF Nov. IL, who are constructing
Grover Cleveland's Cabinet for him, four
months in advance of the time he viii
need it, appear to be making II mn
without stopping to think that
Cleveland may like to have something
to say about it, and regardless of the fact,
which they may learn, that he Is as COM
petent 20 select his advisers as most of the
unauthorized political Cabinet makers.
These self-cohstituted builders of the
next administration are disposed to be
kind toward the Independents, and to
maintain that their work in the campaign
should be recognized by extending Cabi-
net position to- one of their number.
Mr' Schurz being named as the most
acceptable of all to be so selected.
A Democratic ex-senator is quoted
as saying: "This is not a Demo
cratic victory. 1t could not have been
won by the Democrats alone. We owe
the election of Cleveland and Hendricks
to the Independent Republicans, and
every rule of honesty and fair
play demands their recognition.
Nothing would be more I'M
popular than for us to proceed upon
the assumption that it was a straight
Democratic victory. Now, as to the sug-
gestion that the acceptance of a
position under Cleveland by promi-
nent Independents would subject the
latter to the suspicion of hav-
ing made bargain, or the other
suggestion that Curtis, Schurz, and their
associates still profess to be Republicans,
and therefore could not consistently 90
into Democratic administration. With
all that we, as Democrats, have nothing

recognition of their services, and If they
decide to decline it then we will be at liber-
ty to go ahead and select none but Demo-
Gratis for positions. 1t would be a blunder
Tor us to ignore the Independents and re-
formers who made the fight with us for
reform, and just such blunder Edmunds
and other leading Republicans, who are
against Blaine, but who still are for the
old party, hope to see us Make"
These Democrats will probably find out,
perhaps to their surprise, that the Inde-
pendent Republicans did not go into the
late contest against Mr.. Blaine because
they wanted office. Their chances for re-
ward would have been surer if they had
chosen to fight under Blaine's banner.
Arkansas, one of the States that
stood solid for Cleveland IN the
convention, is to be recognized.
if the Cabinet makers are correct, by the
appointment of Senator Garland as At
tOrney General. Mr.. Randall, from the
State which gave Blaine $4,000 plurality,
is referred to as sure to be pressed for the
Treasury portfolio, although it is admit
ted that the office ought to go to New
York. 1t is said that Gen. Mcclellan
is to be pushed forward by New Jer-
sey for the War or Navy Department.
Mr.. Bayard seems to be as unanimously
picked out for Secretary of State as Mr..
Blaine was by Garfield's friends four
years ago.
