SENATORS MDoNALD AND THURMAN, TX
SPEAKER RANDALL, SENATOR BAYARp AND HON.
DAN. MANNING DISCUSSED.
The makeup OF the prospective democratic
Presidents Cabinet continues TO be a favorte topic
OF discussion among democrats Ii seems 10 be the
almost universal opinion that the Independents
should be recognized. and general sentiment points
TO Hon Carl SchurZ as the proper man TO repre-
sent that element In the Cabinet Occasionally
some one suggests that IL would not do for Mr
SchuTZ to accept a Cabinet position under Cleve-.
land as IL would give his enemies a preteXt to
charge that 1t was the price OF his support OF the
democratic ticket one democrat dismissed this
suggestion with "Nobo1y would believe itn
Another suggestion occasionally made as a reason

A frin nf hfCy
Indiana democrats Mr. Mcdonald is the only one
not provided for. II is asserted that Indiana

TO hll IT. Public opinion is also settled upon eX-
Senator Thurman and eX-Speaker Randall as men,
DerS or the Cabinet. The latter is mentioned for
the Treasury, but many think that New York will
claim that place. Hon. Daniel Manning, chair
man or the democratic state committee OF New

Treasury. Several OF Mr.. ThurmanS friends he re
say they do not believe he would accept Cabinet
position. They say that age is telling upon him. and
he prefers quiet and rest TO the labors OF any pub
ilc position Intimate friends % Senator Bayard
also say that ne would not leave the senate the
Cabinet; that he can remain In the Senate as long
as he chooses. and that is field more TO his taste
than Cabinet duties.
