The Boston Journals Washington
correspondent says: The belief that
Senator Bayard VII te rendered the
portfolio of the Slate Department, and
that he will accept IT, now prevails
even among Democrats high in the
councils Of the party. Mr. Bayard ar

cOmmittal. He says Oleveland's ad-
ministration will not begin until next
March and as the president elect IL still
discbar9ing his duties ~ Governor,
any discussion OF his cabinet policy u
premature. Mr.. Bsyard says 1t will bo
time enough for him to detsrmine what
10 do about accepting cabinet position
when one is rendered him. Still. It 10
believed that at the proper time tho Of
fer OF the State portfolio win be made
to Mr.. Bayard, as 1t seems 70 be the
wish Of his party that he sheuld become
the chief Of Cleveland's advisers.
1t is understood that the Democratic
Senators almost unaninlously desire
that Mr.. Bayard shall be offered the
Secretaryship Of State, and soans Of them
have already written Governor Cleve-
land to that effect. Those 6enAtors
who favor Mr.. Bayard's nomination
for the Presidency want to see him at
the head Of the State Department.
They think that the administration OF
the State Department for the next four
years will enhance Mr.. Bayard's
chances Of the nomination in 1888.
These friends of the Delaware Senator
say that as chief Of the cabinet he will
win istinction and credit for the sue
cess of the Administration, and they
believe Bayard's influence would make
1t successful.
They hold that Cleveland has commit
ted himself to q single term, and that
four years hence Bayard ~ his Secreta.
~ Of State would have his c0untenance
and support for the nomination. They
do not think that continued service in
the Senate will offer any favorable op-
portunities to Mr.. Bayard. They say
he has won all the distinction there that
Is attainable. These views, On ntertaine0
BY men known to be intimate and
faithful friends of Bayard, lead to the
belief that he is the coming Secretary
Of State.
1t seems now to be understood among
Southern Democrats that II Mr.. Bay
counted as one Of the two places
which common opinion has assigned
to the South. In other words, the
South will get only one other place,
and 1t now looks as II Senator Gar.
land had the lead for that. He also
has nearly the unanimous iudorse-
ment of the Democratic Senators, and
his friends believe that every Demo
cratic member of that body will join in
requesting his appointment as Attor-
ney-General. A prominent Democratic
Senator said tonight : "1f the voice
of our Senators can prevail Baysrd
and Garland will 60 into the cabi-

Senator Salisbury Of Delaware
thinks that Cleveland will tender
Bayard the secretaryship of State, be-
cause 1t is the apparent wish of the
Democracy that he should head the
Cabinet, but Mr.. Saulsbury is not in
clined to believe that Bayard will ac-
cept. Mr.. Salisbury admits that he
has no Information on the subject, but
he holds to the opinion that Bayard
will prefer to continue in the Senate,
where he is the recognized leader of his
party. Senator salisbury also express-
ed the belief that Senator Garland will
be offered cabinet position, on the
ground OF his fitness for the place, and
that his appointment would fbe most
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletins
Wash ington correspondent says:
1t is currently reported that the New
York delegation and representative
men Of Wall street are very anxious to
have Mr.. Cleveland choose Senator
Bayard, of Delaware, as his Secretary
OF The Treasury. Mr.. Bayard's name
has been mentioned with the State
Department portfolio, but he does not
want it, though he would very much
like to run the Treasury. He IL the
hardest kind ofa hard money man, and
his appointment would Immediately

also claims the Postmaster Generalship
because of the great patronage it will
