ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. l3.-The World
pubiishes the following special; Itmay
now be accepted IS fact that Senator
Bsyard can have place On President
CjeveIand,s cabinet If he so desires, and
4 Is altogether probable that he will &C
cent the offer. Il was at first supposed
that he would be given the portfolio of
state. but his taste and experience was
rather in the line OF finance and he will
therefore, ia all probability. be the next
secretary of the treasury. MIR. William
G. Whitney will probably be the New
York representative in the cabinet. Ru-
NOR has given him the post OF sttorneV
general. for which he is thoroughly
lifted, but that will probably be given to
Senator Garland, and Mr.. Whitney will
take the secretaryship Of the interior in
stead.
The south seems to be entirely united
on Senator Garland as q member of the
cabinet, and his appointment will be
out Of Difference to the wishes Of that
section, and because he IL eminentlY
fitted for the place: A fourth place will
probably be offered to John Quincy
Adams of Massachusetts,. He will go
in e. the New England representative
able as such.
These foar gentlemen, Bayard, Whit
ney, Garland and Adams, are almost
certain to be four of the seven members
Of President CleVeland's cabinet. They
are all Democrats of the strict school,
and their high personal character will
no doubt be acceptable TO even such ex.
acting censorS OF public and private life
e DR. Ball himself.
"AA the names above spoken Of have
been frequently mentioned in connection
with the cabinet except that of Mr..
Adams HIS selection by Governor
Cleveland, which is now pretty well
settled fact. will occasion some sur.
| prise. While Mr.. Adams Is Demo
| crat and has been once the Democratic
candidate for governor of Massachusetts
he Is not and never has been an active
| politician. He would be the Deares
representative of the independent ele
ment that Governor Cleveland could
l select and still keep Inside Democratic
limits. There will probably be direc
| recognition of the independents by send
ing Mr., SchurZ or Mr.. CuItises ministe
20 one of the European posts OF the frs
| grade. Messrs. Baysrd and Garland
will be the two representatives from thu
south. and It is quite probable tha
| Lno postmaster RSESTdlSnlp VIII
go to the west and TIT
naval portfolio to New Jersey or som
state on the Atlantic coast. It is certain
that Cleveland is going to surround him
self with an able cabinet-he is going 4
select the best men ne can find in tn
party, and the fact that he has called MI
Bayard TO Albany ls very good proc
that the Delaware senator is going to b
very close advisor.
Delegations have visited Albany thi
week Ia behalf of both Governo
Crittenden, of Missouri, and Hon
James o. Broadhead of Missouri 70
cabinet positions, but Governor ClevC
land gives little encouragement to this
method of procedure. The first delegl
ton to make him visit to urge q cab
net appointment was one from New Jel
sey headed by Governor Abbott. The
went to urge ex-senator Stockton fc
secretaryship of the navy, hut they n
ceived no encouragement. Il ia certai
that IL would have been better for Stool
ton, Crittenden and Broadhead if the
friends had kept away from Albany
