intriguing for places in President Clcveland's
cabinet will begin when congress meets.
The headquarters Of the intriguers will be in
the cloak rooms of the senate. There are
DETECTING passages from the main chamber,
where the senators, who are as chronic
gossipers as old maids, retreat to compare
notes and retail scandals. Here
states will be fixed up aud quarrels will be
brewed. Out of the quarrels will come the
exposure of the schemes set up from the liDs
Of some disgruntlcd senator. If it were moi
for geographical division the senators would
soon fix up a cabinet for Mr.. Cleveland oi
their own number. Take senator who Is
on his second or third term, and he has
reached that stage of insolence in office that.
TO cross him, even by president-elect, is b.
awake Bombastcs Furioso himself. Tax
dozen or more of such old-timers, and one
can imagine the power they have by their
owD self assump tion.
Thus early in the game it is clear that Ger
tain senators are laying pipes to captur.
Cleveland. These men look upon the prcsi
dent elect not great man, but rather ar
an accident. They feel toward him as al
interlopcr, who obscured some Of their num-
Der in desire for the Office to
which he has been elected. Hence, fallac-
iousiy gauging him as a man of small parts,
they propose 20 map out for him ("
curriculum from witch he must not deparl
To begin this kindly duty for the new priest
dent, it was of course, necessary for them
to cover as much of the cabinet as possible
A cabinet slate which has not upon it the
name Of one or more senators and ex-sena-
tors has no consideration at their hands
Enese men live in an atmosphere OF their
own and cannot bring their minds to
contemplate that there may be more
brains and business sense outside of thu
senate than in it. 1t is, after all, fortunate
for the public that, like ordinary mortals.
they have their quarrels and jealousies, and
thus the combined power of the leviathan
machine is dissipated. 1t is quite probable,
therefore, that in the adjustment Of cabinet
states the senators will go to pieces.
THOSE from the south, to a man, have
united in the effort to put Senator Garland
in as attorney general. There is deter
mined movement on the part of the south to
claim two cabinet billets. Not only this
but to designate them and be content with
none other The two selected are the de-
parIment of justice and the post office depart
ment. For the firstplace there is such uni
versatility of ointment in favor of Garland
that all that is now necessary is President
Cleveland's concurrence.
For the postoffice department there is not
so much harmony. The senators have as
yet found but oDe man, Henry G. Davis,
but meanwhile the members of the hous
have crowded racers of their own on the
track, to the ineffable disgust of the house OF
lords.
No matter how Mr.. Bayard may effect to be
contrary, there is and will be further strong
current to have him made secretary of state
The pressure to have him there
assigned comes not so much from Democrats
as the class called Independent Republicans.
The extreme southern men, or rather those
from the old cotton states, are not in favor
of Bayard because he would be accredited to
the south, and thus defeat them in the
scheme to capture the postof1ice department
of justice. Mr.. Bayard meanwhile poses as
the sans pear ct sans repY0ache senator,
strongly in favor of civil service reform.
The first move of these senatorial schem-
ers viii be to land president elect Cleveland
in Washington early in January and keep
him here until the cabinet is fixed There is
wisdom in this. Should Mr.. Cleveland re-
main in Albany, the different sena-
torial cliQues could get at him
without exposing the fact of their
visit to one another and possibly also their
petty quarrels. If, however, they can hive
him here, no one could get at him save he
crowded through a senators legs. This is
the secret of the purpose to get him here.
The aim is to surround him with a Gordon OF
senators with an inscription over the presi-
dental door, ''Who enters here leaves hope
behind" save, indeed, senator ushers
him.
IfMr Cleveland is seized with the very
good sense ribed to him he will keep
away from Washington until he comes to
stay. The influences here for a president
OF sand and grit are not nourishing. The
friendships Offered are cold, and are gagged
solely to even up the favors granted. As
Mr. Cleveland is flesh, those who
would fawn upon him have bul
little use for him. 1t is the power of his
office that will invest him with what is
coveted. If he does not take the senate into
copartnership with him, he may not be in
huential with the senate, but he will strike
the people as president who, having been
nominated with out the aid of the senate and
in the face of its protest, can
make an upright and dignifed
administration without being dictated to b,
1t. he will find, when he gets into the pres
ldental chair, that the very men who ar,
supposed to be exemplers of pure civil
service, win be of those who will most per
sistently clamor for the spoils So far as th,
party OF opposition is concerned, Mr.. Cleve
land will not be cautiously antagonized
The well circulated story tina
Republican senators would unite il
an effort to defeat his nominees
is not born of truth. For decade half o
those now constituting the Republican ma
jority have had to deal with spols, and the,
wei! know it is the rock upon their party ha
split. Nothing can lead to distractions O
disagree ments touching the offices. AS thes
promise TO be the feature of the new admin
istration, the aim will be to have the Demo
