WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-According to one
of the most prominent and influential Demo
Gratis in congress, the supposed reluctance OF
Senator Bayard to accept q place in MI
Cleveland's cabinet does not exist, and the
only hitch in the matter is in regard to the
particular place which Mr.. Bayard shall oc-
cupy. This Democrat said: The facts, as
understand them to be, are as follows: Mr.
Cleveland will be glad to have Mr.. Bayard
accept the portfolio of the state department,
but Mr.. Bayard would greatly prefer to be
made secretary Of the treasury. He
is an ambitious man, and hopes
to secure the presidential nomination
in 1888. he reasons wisely that at the head
of the treasury department he would not only
be able to strengthen his position and in
crease his personal following, but that he
would thereby keep out of that department
some other man with ambitions as strong as
his own, and who, as secretary Of the treas
ury, might be able to SO fortify his position
as TO become formidable, if not success
full, competitor before the Democratic nat
ional convention.
soUTHRoNs IN THE CABINET.
There is considerable rivalry among the
southern men, and fierce jealousies have al
ready began to appear. Most of the southern
men believe that two men from the south
will have offices in the new cabinet. The
places about which there is most gossip are
the attorney generalship and the postmaster
generalship. The heads Of the southern men
seem to be set especially on the former place,
for which there are several strong competi-
tors. Congressman Broadhead, of Missouri, of
whom Frank Blair wrote the famous Broad
letter in 1868, is being urged by many Mis-
souri, and other western and southern Demo-
crats. Many of Marmaduke's friends, who
are influential in Missouri politics, are out
spoken in favor of the appointment of Sena-
tor Garland, Of Arkansas, whose eminent
abilities as a lawyer are recognized by his
political friends as well as opponents in the
senate The strong rivalry between Garland
and Broadhead has revived interest in the
candidacy of Representative Hammond, OF
Georgia, who thinks he is great constitu-
tional lawyer, and who is ready in season
and out of season to expound that instru-
ment from r state rights ante-war point Of
view. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, one Of
the most brilliant men in the house, has also
been spoken of for the attorney geDeralship,
but recent movement to bring out John 8.
Barbour of the same state as a candidate for
postmaster general has probably destroyed
whatever hopes Mr.. fuckers friends
may have had of his promotion.
Barbour's candidacy has also discon-
certed the friends Of Congressman
Money, of Mississippi, and the signs of a
fierce contention between Virginia and Mis-
sissippi are already apparent.
STOCKTON FOR THE NAVY.
Nearly everybody seems to believe that
New Jersey must receive one of the cabinet
plums and the Democrats of that state, witt
the exception of Kelsea and George B. Nc
Clellan, appear to be unanimous in theil
support of John P. Stockton for secretary o.
the navy.
CLEVELAND TO GO TO CHURCH.
The president elect has written to engage
seat in the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church. DR.. Bartlett, the pastor, is an olt
friend Of Mr.. Cleveland. and was a clos,
friend of his father, the Rev. Stephen Grover
Cleveland, of New Jersey.
