which has suffered aud struggled for twenty
four years, and it will be pretty piece Of
gratitude on Cleveland's part to think the
feast was made for him. He cannot fail
to put into his cabinet the leaders who were
nominated against him, men like Thurman,
Bayard and Mcdonald
Suppose" said l, ''thst you begin with
New England and suggest cabinet name
from that section. which ought probably to
be represented somewhere"
Everybody hesitated moment and the
Bourbon spoke up, saying:
''Well, Connecticut was the only state That
went for Cleveland aud the cabiaet man viii
come from there. Barnum wants to 20 In.
Gov. English expects something Gov Wal
sr,who got the most votes, but will be beaten
by the legislature, and wants something.
Waller" SAID the man, ''sen; word to Cleye-
land that he was probably beaten, but said
he, thank God you are savedr 4"
As nobody seemed 10 have any interest in
the New England member of the cabinet but
this man, asked him to give his best judg-
ment on a New England member. Said he /:
''Gov. English is the best man Cleveland
could take. He is business man, a wealthy
man, conservative, discreet, and good ad-
wiser. He would make good secretary Of
the navy"
"Well, now we come TO New jersey"
''New Jersey" remarked the bourbon
member ''has already got up a contest
Mcclellan was mentioned for secretary Of
war, but it is said he wants Fran kiln put in
Franklin comes from Hartford, Conn, AMI
he perhaps may be the New
England member Of the eabi-
met. Gov. Albeit is also DESTROYS
OF a place, but the politicians Of New Jersey
a.e mainly expectant Of finding something
for John p. Stockton, the ex-senator He
would make agood secretary Of the navy.
Indeed, Cleveland might well put in Stock
ton for the navy department and Franklin
Tor the war department. That would take
one man from Connecticut and another from
New Jersey. Mr.. Stockton 5 father was one
OF our renowned naval officers"
Pennsylvania was mentioned, and while it
was said that Randall, Wallace, Buckalow
and Curtin lived there, Randall would prob
ably prefer to remain in congress, with the
inee himsels, and the state has given $4,000
majority against Cleveland and therefore re-
quires nothing. Gen. Hancock however.
was considered to be a Pennsylvania. We
next come 10 Ohio, and it was said
Ohio had good many prominent
men, but not many OF them were in favor
OF each other. The Bourbon man stuck up
Fla
treasury. The new convert said If he were
Cleveland he wouldn't do id thing for
Thurman or any of them, because they all
bad been in favor of themselves. He ex-
cepted Gov. Hoadly from the list as a man
who would siren CITIZEN the administration
with young people. When we came to In
diana the Bourbons themselves said:
''That is the only state in the west Cleve-
land ought to pay any attention to. It is the
only state that saved him out there. He re-
lied on Wisconsin, with Villas, Bragg, Pound
and others TO help him out, and they
amounted 10 nothing. Fusion didn't save
him in Michigan. Carter Harrison could
not get enough Germans TO save him in Iili-
nos. Old Trumbull lives out there, but

1t seemed to have general concurrence
around the table that neither the Pacific
coast nor the great west was worth consider
ing at all. The Kentucky man remarked he
saw nobody in Kentucky for the cabinet. un-
less it should be Gev. Knott or Mr.. Carlisle
AS to Indiana, Mcdonald was about the only
N nd a
of him except the disgruntled man. We then
come to the south, and after overhauling
quantities of biography. there seemed to be q
general settling in favor of some place In
the cabinet for John Hancock, of Texas.
The Bourbon here gave vent to an intelligent
sentence.
81 think" he said, ''that Cleveland ought
to take one Union man out of the south and
one Confederate man. John Hancock was a
Union mau. He was born in Alabama.
grew up in Texas and left the state rather
than turn against the Union of his fathers
He is prosperous man with fine business
qualities, and more than any other man
from Texas he deserves consideration. ~
We then began TO look around for other
as to heft and shrewdness, but, as he had
just been elected TO the senate for six wears
more, he was suspended. John B. Gordon
seemed to be the favorite among the Con
federates. II was remarked that Bayard
had positively refused to go into the
cabinet, as he thought he would be
nominated for president four years hence

speech would not be felt as it was last july.
German, OF Maryland, was conceded TO have
claims on the Jew president. The CONVEX
sation ended as desultory as it began, and
l only mention it to show how differently
people are talking on the same thing. Il Is
to be observed, however. that through
out the above conversation beyond
brief mention to begin with
everybody forgot that the Independent Re-
publicans had any claim to cabinet place.
may say to you, however, hat there is a be-
lief here among the personal friends of
Cleveland. who are not politicians, that be

put it in the government. It is not believed
that he win now put in Carl Scturz
Some think he will put in Bristow.
Bristow unquestionably favored Cleveland.
notwithstanding he presided at a meeting
held for Arthur's nomination. How extra
ordinary are the changes made by failure and
success When Bristow was in Grants eabi-
net prosecuting whisky cases the Arthur ele-
ment in the party regarded him as barba-
rian without honor or gratitude. Yet in
course OF time Bristow presided at a meeting
to nominate Arthur.
