The Demands of the South.

Washington Special to New York Evening Post.
One thing is plain, and that is that the South
will not be satisfied with less than two Cabinet
Offices exclusive of the one Mr. Bayard may pos
sibly fill. With decided unanimity of opinions
Southern congressman insist that Mr. BayarQ
cannot be fairly charged to their section. There
are a few who think that either the
Secretaryship of State or of the Treas
ury ought to be given to the South, but a
large majority of them express a preference
for the Pestofice Department and the Depart
ment of Justice Those who contend for the
higher position maintain that the appointment
of q prominent Southern man at the head of tho
State or Treasury Department would be, in eff
ect, declaration from the administration thatit
knew no sectional distinction. They iLSsszt that
if any other section than the South had given
Cleveland $50 electoral votes its right to lead
ing Cabinet position would be conceded, and that
Cleveland ought to demonstrate that he does not
recognize any difference between the sections by
treating the South precisely as he would the
Northwest were it as strongly Democratic. But
Southern Democrats who take this position
seem to be so clearly in the minority that they
will not probably have much weight. has beer,
rumored of late that Senator German was press
ing ex-senator Davis, of West Virginia, for
Cabinet position, but this he denies He says
Davis would not accept Cabinet portfolio, be-
cause it would require him to sacrifice large bust"
ness interests.
1t appears that the effort to put ex-senator
Gordon. of Georgia, in line for Cabinet promo.
ton failed signally Gordon is said to have lost
his hold upon the Southern people since he
abandoned public life and went into money,
making. Many of his Southern friends did moi
like the manner of his retirement from the Sen.
ate. They have never been convinced that there
was not distinct understanding between him
and Brown, to the effect that the latter should
have the formers seat. Even in Georgia, it is
said the Democrats do not rally to the call to
put Gordon into the Cabinet
Congressman Gibson, of West Virginia, has
just returned from Albany, where he went to
see Governor Cleveland He sayt that he is sat-
isfed that Governor Cleveland will not only
make a good President, but a good Democratic
President. He does not think he will sacrifice
his administration to the independents. Mr..
Gibson is credited with the desire to prevent ex-
Senator Davis of West Virginia. from receiving
a Cabinet position.
The text of a speech by Mr. Hendricks at
small gathering in indianapolis, recently, has
attracted attention among Democrats mere as it
is in apparent conflict with his Brooklyn speech
on the question of the civil service He is quoted
as saying that he did not believe that any gov
eminent clerk who had been faithful and was not
a partisan, would be disturbed.

1t is something new for Bismarck to find him
self so persistently opposed and thwarted, and
that such an event is possible marks the ad-
vance of liberal ideas more plainly than
almost anything else possibly could. United
Germany is largely Bismarck's work; but it is
not the first instance where the organizer has
not possessed the faculties necessary to direct
and control that which his force and charac-
ter have brought into existence. We can but
think that Bismarck reached the zenith of his
fame and power when William found himself
seated upon the throne of the German EN-

THE Tichborne claimant, who is out on
ticket of leave, and is also out of funds, has
been trying to negotiate with Mr.. Barn UNI for
six months tour through America with his
circus. Mr.. Barnum declines the proposition
on the ground that Sir Roger would not prove
an attraction in this country. The great show
man evinces his usual shrewdness in this de-
cision. The American people are already
only too familiar with the sight of bogus
lords; but if genuine specimen of the nobl-
ity should put himself on exhibition he would
probably draw.

FORGED INTERVIEWS.
Mr. Blaine Has Not Talked with Correspond
ents Since His Arrival in Washington.

New YORK, Dec. 15.-The Tribune Of Tues
day will say, editorially; "Mr. Blaine desires
to have it stated that all the reports of inter
views held with him since his arrival in Wash
ington are entirely unauthorized. The one in
which he is represented as discussing his rela-
tions with MIR Conkling has been extensively
published throughout the country, but is, from
beginning to end, an inexcusable forgery Mr..
Blaine asks that his friends will do him the fa-
vor to discredit utterly any and all expressions
in the form of interviews which may be imputed
to him. If he has any occasion to communicate
with the public, he will do so over his own name"

For weeks the New York papers have devoted
large portions of their space to the detailed re-
ports of the Stewart Huntington trial-a case in
which large interests were involved, but not of
more general public interest than others which
were dismissed with a line. The sole reason,
apparently, for giving so much attention to this
trial, lay in the fact that the two distinguished
lawyers, Mr. Choate and Mr. Conkng, were Of
counsel, and being on opposite sides, it was
hoped and believed that the usual dull routine
would be enlivened by a brilliant cross-fre of
wit 1t was vain hope; there was much wran
Cling and sparring and a constant interchange of
cheap retorts and illusions, such as two third

who have waded through the dreary reports
will feel sense of relief, while the able editors
will perhaps begin to wonder if it wouldn't have
been more profitable to fill up with dog fights

The Strike in New York.

NEW York. July 21.-Eieht tbm,.
sand bricklayers and laborers of this
city struck to-day for the nine hours
rule. The action of the Central Labor
union yesterday in directing its del
egates to support the building trades
organization in this strike, had an an
Pfeclabie effect on to-day's outlook.
The result was that in many places
where protracted lock out was ex-
pected, the employers almost immedi-
ately gave way to the demands of
their employees. The headquarters of
the labor organization at America hall
on Eighth avenue, was crowded with
laborers during the morning, and the
announcement that many bosses had
conceded the demands of the strikers
caused outbreaks Of appreciation and
applause. BY noon large numbers of
firms all oyer the city had announced
their willingness to accept the strikers
terms, and it was said that not more
than 1900 men were out of work dur
ing the morning.

WITHOUT a CANDIDATE.

Our Democratic friends seem to
be without 4 presidential candidate
now. We see by the last number of
Harper's Weekly, that the New York
Independents who tried to steal the
Republican convention and failed, and
then left the party, have succeeded in
stealing Mr.. Cleveland, the supposed
nominfe of the Democratic party late
ly assembled at Chicago. The Week
ly publishes full page portrait of
Mr.. Cleveland, with John Kelley in
the background dressed in his war
paint only, and in the midst of the
independent" crowd who are shout
ing and throwing up their hats in wild
glee, and under the picture in bold
black letters is the title to the whole
viz: Gan Independent victory and
following this the editorial comment:
The Democratic Party WAS COMPEL
LED TO NOMINATE A MAN WITH A
CLEAN RECoRD-one whose knees will
not yield, even to Boss Kelly"
This declaration of Mr.. Curtis, only
proves what we have before said in
the TINES, that Mr.. Cleveland was not
true representative of the Democratic
party, but the pliable tool of the rule
or ruin element of New York, and he
could never have been nominated had
not caucus trickery and official au-
thority compelled the unit rule for
that state. Cleveland and Curtis both
knew that in carrying that point lay
their only salvation. The battle to-
day is not between the Republican
and Democratic parties but between
the Republican party and Independ-
ents, or the boilers from the Republi-
can party, If CleYeland should be
elected he would be controlled by the
kicking, boiling, rif-raf of the country,
for to that element he is entitled for
his nomination. But why suppose a
case-he will not carry one Northern
state. He grows weaker every day,
and we shall not be at all surprised if
he is yet taken from the field and
some representative man put up in his
place.
