We regret it had to come after

The coupon is still dead, notwlth-

Mr.. CIeveIand's Cabinet

Mr.. Clcveland's coming Cabinet
was a theme of considerable con-
versatlOn among Democrats
throughout the city yesterday.
Many figured out the tickets Of
their choice, naming Independent
Republicans and others a. likely
to be appointed; but there was Il
marked diversity OF opinion with
regard to men. The opinion was
expressed in some quarters that
Gov. Cleveland had already made
up his mind as to his course; others
and people laughed at them for
saying sO-said that he would not
decide until assured of his election;
while others still had formed no
views upon the matter. 81 think
said one gentleman, who halls
from Albany, "that the Cabinet
will be made by Mr.. Cleveland him
self. He knowns how to make it,
and tits only baby talk to discuss
the matter now. Cleveland knows
exactly the men most fitted for
important posts. lie is man of
strong will. Big influence will, no
doubt, be brought to bear upon
him, but after he has listened to
every argument he will select the
men of his own choice
"What do you think about the
claims of the Independent Re
publicanSl' he was asked.
"Well, they may claim that they
gave Mr.. Clevelands sixty or Sc
venty thousand votes, and claim
recognition on that ground. Such
a thing is not Improbable. Inc
whole matter, however, is in the
balance. | don't think Gov. Cleyc-
land has yet given the Cabinet
question a thought, but when he
starts to make the selection, mark
my words, he will not make mis-
take"
The opinion OF the gentleman
above quoted seemed to be that
of Democrats generally who were
spoken to upon the subject.

one. If he would have a long career
he should begin it as early in life
as he can prepare himself to do so.
This suggests to us that unless the
young bourbon cxclaimer shall
soon start upon a career, it will be
necessarily brief. He is now older
than the "Walker Boys" and has
started everything but useful

careering friend, we want simply to
advise him TO start on a career of

joys of political success. Try to
