WASHINGTON. Dec. 22.-The political in
trigue which has been running riot among
certain senators since congress met, is at
stand still. II has finally dawned upon the
exclusives in the senatorial body that there
are more potent agencies at work in and
about New York city than in the marble cloak
rooms. The plan which had been well ineu-
bated by a select clique has not attained its
purpose, and those in the senatorial cabinet
ring can't conceive why they have not been
summoned to Albany ere this. The
frequency with which certain New York
politicians make pilgrimages to ALBANY
has disturbed the calculations of those who
bad made IN their minds either to dictate 10
President Cleveland or to rcpudiate him. II
does not require the aid Of a maguifvinc
glass TO discover that the senators are them
selves torn up. The looming up of Bavard
as cabinet possibility has provoked jeal-
ousies and envy which will not down. The
Delaware senator finds himself in an attitude
of perplexity. The southern men demand
two places in the new cabinet, and if Mfr.
Bayard is 70 be charged to their section as
one they want to keep him out. On the other
hand, the three senators representing the
states north of Mason & Dixou's line do
not want Mr.. Bayard charged upto the north.
and the followers of this triumvirate are not
at all ebary in calling up against him the
famous dislOyal speech made by the Delaware
jurist at Dover in the DAYS of auld lang
syne. The trip Mr.. Bayard made to ALBANY
gave him, at all events, prominence in all
cabinet speeulatiOns. For time he was on
the top wave. A reaction has now come.
While it may be true and possible that Cleve-
land has not asked Mr.. Bayard to be of his
official family, it is certain that he is now
being back-capped from a quarter wherein
he always heretofore had his most substan-
tial support-the south.
ONE OF THE PosITIvEs.
Senator Garland has returned from New
York state, where he had a consultation with
Mr. Cleveland. It is stated to-day, on the
authority of one of his friends in the house
of representatives,, that it has been agreed
between Mr. Garland and Gov. Cleveland
that the former shall go into the cabinet.
CLEVELAND AND THE TARIFF.
The attitude of the new president on the
tariff question, while not absolutely known,
can be judged from the fact that Carlisle
Morrison & Co. are said not to be
pleased with him. A member of the
house of representatives, who has
long figured in national councils, told me a
night or two ago that they were ready to fight
him. These men have no expression from
the president elect. All they know is that.
while the campaign was on, the private secre-
tary of Mr.. Carlisle tried TO prove that Mr..
Cleveland was in sympathy with Mr.. Morri-
son and his fool tariff bill which was agitated
last winter. To this Gov. Cleveland gave
authoritative denial, and since the free trade
clique have been quiet.
OHIO IN THE CABINET.
A question now agitating the slate makers
is, will au Ohio man be In the cabinetl II
the new president is to reward only the states
which gave him majorities in the presiden-
tial election, of course Ohio will not figure in
the deal. Still, going beyond the day of cleo
lion, neither Mr.. Cleveland nor his friends
can deny that he owes to Ohio his nomina-
ton to the presidency. Had the Ohio delega-
ton not largely left the support of Gov.
Hoadly at Chicago and at an opportune mo-
ment, the nomination of Cleveland
would not have been certain
Again, had the delegation vigorously and
tremendously supported Thurman, Cleveland
could not have been nominated. happen
to know that in Ohio there was good deal
of bad feeling aud censure because the dele
cation did not unitedly press the sold
Roman" happen to know, likewise, that
had 1t not been for his fool friends, who, like
leeches, fastened themselves to his fair fame
and name, 10 his utter detriment, such a
result might have been reached. The Column
bus statesmen who figured at the convention
drove away from Senator Thurman powerful
influences, which would have been glad to
espouse his cause had not the fear been up
permost that his elevation meant the ad-
vaneement also Of men whose only fealty to
Democracy has been with view to rob its
campaign offers. For this reason Ohio had
a fear, not of Thurman, but of his self
inflicted retainers, and supported Cleveland
in preference. 1t might be that if the leaders
of the Democracy of the Buckeye state could
get together and unite on q candidate he
would be chosen This seems, however, out
of the question, because of the conflicts
of opinion among them. 1t would advance
the chances of Democratic success in the
future with a son of Ohio in the cabinet. 1t
would insure successor to John Sherman
who would be Democrat and this alone
might tie the senate fours years hence.
STILL CANDIDATE BLAINE
Mr.. Blaine has seen many visitors during
the past week. and has talked over the poll
teal situation with great freedom. He sent
word to several prominent Republicans who
had not called upon him that he would be
glad to see them. His manner
conveys the impression that he still
considers himself the chosen leader
Of the Republican party until the next
national convention comes together, and it
is his undoubted purpose to shape its policy
for the future. His most intimate friends
make point Of proelaiming that the party
will have to turn TO him in 1888. Quite
mum Der of congressman leave here tomorrow
to attend the exposition at New Orleans.
FOR GRANTS RETIREMENT.
The Daily Post, claiming to reflect the
opinions of many leading Democrats, says
that justice requires the placing of Gen.
Grant on the retired list of the army without
delay, and that it should not
lead to Fitz John Porter case.
HOW SENATOR GRooNfE SECURED HIS WIFE.
Senator GrqPme, of New York, is a re-
spector Of the enterprising reporter. He was
talking to friend the other evening about
this cabinet gossip which the papers print SO
much of. Much of the speculation published
might seem idle, he said, but there was no
