BAYARD's VISIT TO ALBANY.

quietly leftl Washington for Albany. 1t is
also understood that he was invited by the
presIden t-elect TO make him a visit at the
earliest convenient moment after the
Assem- blage of congress. Bayard chose
the latter part of last week for the visit.
He arrived in Albany from New York at
1890 O'Clock on Saturday night. A violent
rain storm was prevailing at the time, and
the usual depot lounger was not present. A
few railroad men, dripping with rain, were
the only persons who saw the senator alight
from the train. They did not recognize him.
The senator said afterward that two or three
men, who sat in the drawing room car on the
train with him, gazed rather curiously at
him, and he suspected that his identity was
| known.
Bayard was met at the depot by friends OF
the governor, so the story goes, was placed
in the governors carriage and was taken to
the executive mansion. No hotel register OF
! politician was allowed to disclose the fact that
/ Mr.. Bayard had visited the president elect.
/ He was welcomed at the door of the executive
mansion by Gov, Cleveland. He remained
as Cleveland's guest until Sunday after
noon, when he started on his return
| journey to New York. Bayard and Cleveland,
/ it is said, we're in conversation with each
other until long after midnight on Saturday
night On Sunday morning the consultation
was continued until late Sunday afternoon,
when Bayard departed for New York.
The politicians have not yet learned
whether or not the president elect offered

was done. If such a proffer was
made the Delaware senator's answer is not
yet known. Yesterday Bayard had quite a
long conference with Colquitt, of Georgia,
and briefer ones with other southern senators
| OF prominence, and it was noticed that his
conversation was of the most earnest charac-
ter. With Senator Camden, of West Vir-
ginla, he talked longer than to any of the
others, and his earnestness was particularly
emphasized by his gesticulations and the
occasional Shaping Of his fist down on the
arm of his chair.
1t is believed that Mr.. Bayard went to see
Cleveland at the latter's request, to be con-
suited upon the subject of his going into cab
met. Intimate personal and political friends
of the Delaware senator believe that he ent
to Albany in pursuance of request from
/ Cleveland.
TILDEN's ATTITUDE TOWARD BAYARD.
In connection with his visit there is a re-
port, coming from New York, to the effect
that Cleveland will NOT select Bayard for a
cabinet position because Tilden is bitterly
hostile to him. 1t is claimed by Tnden's
friends that he and they nominated and

back on them or disgrace Tilden's wishes
| On the other hand, it is asserted by Demo-
Gratis high in the party, that Cleveland owes
| Tildeu nothing. 1t is stated by men who
were in New York during the canvass, and
who are familiar with the Democratic man
agemeut, that Tilden gave only few thou
sand dollars and really made no sort of
effort in behalf of the ticket.
TO FOLLOW LINcoLN's EXAMPLE.
1t is claimed that President-elect Cleve-
land viii follow the example of Mr.. Lincoln
by Offering the office Of secretary of state to
his chief rival at the national convention of
his party. Bayard was Cleveland's rival,
and VIM. II. Seward was Lincolu's. 1t is
believed by many Democrats that Tilden is
trying to put Randall at the head of the treas
ury, but the latter prefers to remain in the
house. The almost universal opinion on the
Democratic side of the senate is that Bayard
can have the secretaryship of
state if he wants it. 1t is
said that Tilden is hostile
to Bayard because Of the formers belief
/ that the Delaware senator and Thurman were
mainly responsible for the electoral commits
/ sion bill. In answer to this, friends of Bay
ard say that he and Thurman used every ex-
ertiou to get an expression of opinion from
/ Tilden about the electoral bill, and that
finally the late c. N. Potter and several
others, who were said to represent Tilden,
asserted that be left the MISTER entirely in
their hands, and that these men accepted
the electoral commission bill.
| CABINET FISHERMEN,
Several would-be members of the next
/ cabinet have circulated papers among the
/ Democratic senators and representatives for
! signature, recommending their appointment
! The political pot is beginning to boil, and
state delegations are holding meetings to
unite upon some person for a cabinet ap-
/ pOintment, assuming that Cleveland will do
as they wish
THE NEW YORK sENAToRsHIP.
James D. Warren had an interview with
Mr. Blaine to-day, and the story is current
that Blaine will favor Warren's election to
the senate. Warren has decided to be
candidate, which means that Arthur will not
allow his name to be used. Frank Hiseock
is determined to fight Warren. Morton OF
Arthur, and entertains hopes that his friends
may hold the balance of power in the Re-
/ publican caucus.
FINANCIAL LEGISLATION.
/ The senate finance committee intends ID
act on the assumption that it is possible TO
pass some financial legislation this session,
and to this end proposes to consider several
measures, and, when fully matured, to re-
| port them to the senate for action. The mem
bers of the committee believe that there Is
an urgent necessity for not delaying until
next winter the question of suspending the
coinage of the standard dollar and of consid-
ering some measure which will enable the
banks to continue in existence when the 8
per cent. bonds are all paid of, as they
probably will be before the Forty con-
gress comes together next December.
WHO CALLED MISSOURI ANY Howa
Another meeting of tine Missouri deiega-
ton to try and agree upon Missouri man
for member of President Geveland's cabinet
win probably be held tomorrow. The indi-
cations, however, are not very hopeful for an
agreement, unless Mr.. Cockren can be per-
suaded to take the place, and he thus far re-
