CLEvELAND's CABuNEr.
Latest Gossip Among the Politicians.
STATES WHICH CLAIM REPRESENTATIONS IN TIE
COMING CABINET AND THE NAMES TREY PRESENT.
One Idea that prevails 10 q considerable extent
among Cabinet builders is that New York. New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana VIII each get a
Cabinet position and that two VIII go 20 the south
This calculation leaves one place undlsposed OF,
and the belief appears TO be that II VIII go to some
western man.
Ex-senator Thurman continues TO be named by
great many, Notwithstanding the assertion OF some
OF his friends that he really prefers TO spend the
remaining years OF his life in the Quiet OF home In
a speech delivered at Brooklyn during the cam
paign MT Thurman mentioned his age and said he
would be left to him He declared that II he
should be spared 20 see the government once more
10 the control OF his party he would ask for nothing
more, ana those who know him best say that he
was entirely sincere, and that he cannot be
tempted again 10 the toll and cares OF public life
SENATOR PENDLKToS
VIII retire on the fourth OF next March, and &c IL
understood that he would be willing to accept
seat In Clevelands Cabinet, but the mention OF his
name recalls the fact that he Is bitterly antago-
nized by strong element OF his party IN Ohio be-
cause OF his authorship OF the civil service law.
1nere are democrats who think that MI. Cleveland
Will mol, even Tor The sake OF emphasizing his de-
votton TO civil service reform, be willing to raise
INV nitIiu Iut tpdIJy, which some Delteve would
assume proportions equal TO the Conkling Carried
tight Then there are Others. and among hem
men OF prominence In the party. who say that II
tor Pendleton for place I'm his Cabinet ne VIII not
De deferred by any opposition it might arouse
among Ohio democrats.
wIscoNsINs CLAIM.
Wisconsin is frequently referred to as a state
that ought TO be cultivated by the incoming demo-
cratic administration. The increased vote cast for
the national democratic ticket at the recent cleo
ton regarded indication that che state can
easily De Drought into the democratic column, and
IL Is suggested that Cabinet appointment would
go lar towards accomplishing that end. Hon.
w: r; Villas, who presided over the convention
Tor the Cabinet, should Wisconsin draw price
THE EMPIRE STATE
During the past few days Representative A. s
Hewitt has been good deal talked OF as the prob
able representative OF the empire state in the Cabi-
net lt has been limited that perhaps after all,
New York Will not get Cabinet place notwtth,
standing the prominence OF the state This suppo-
siton is based upon the assumption tina. Cleveland
VIII make IL his aim to heal up all breaches In the
party, and TO strengthen it for the next presiden
tial election 1t is argued that no New Yorker is
ikely TO DE found who will be acceptable to both
the warning factions OF New York city, and that
PROBABLY some arrangement or agreement viii be
reached for the distribution OF other than Cabinet
honors-perhaps foreign missions-so as TO satisfy
Doth the factions. Upon this sort of theory it Is
thought that Mr.. Randall may enter the Cabinet
as man generally acceptable to New York demo-
Gratis.
NEW JERSEY DEMOCRATS DIVIDED.
1t is already apparent that New Jersey democrats
are not unanimous in support OF Gen. Mcclellan
Ex-senator Stockton. OF that state, is already put
forward as choice OF portion or the Jersey
jersey democrats beaded by GOV ALBEIT ana Sen
ator Mcpherson, waited upon Gov. Cleveland, at
Albany. and urged the selection OF Gen. Mcclellan.
Inc general BELIEF is that Gen. Mcclellan Will go
into the Cabinet, as lie has a great many strong
trends outside OF New jersey.

For the Cabinet position which common opinIon
assigns to Connecticut, there promises to be seve-
raj competitors AT first ex-senator Eaton had the
call among the Cabinet builders, but lately Gov.

ocratic state ticket, and though he received more
votes than the republican candidate, he loses the
