SENATOR BATARD on HIS VISIT.

Vlslt 10 Gov. Cleveland. He saws: "Goy.
Cleveland has concluded to lay aside his
guberustorial robes about the 6tn of Janu-
airy, after which be wil probably devote
much Of his time to considering his future
course. He will endeavor to look upon all
sections of the country as belonging to one
common people. He proposes to recognize
no north, no south, no east, and no west
in any sense in which these terms are used
politically"
Upon being asked the question if Gov.
Cleveland intimated in his conversation how
many southern men would be invited into
the cabinet, Senator Bayard replied that he
gathered from all that was said on the sub
ieet Of his cabinet, that the men who were
known TO be in harmony with the ideas and
desires of the incoming administration
would probably be selected without regard to
the section Of the country in which they NAV
live. All friends Of the principles of Demo-
eraey are to be treated alike, be they in north
or south. In answer 70 further
questions, regarding the south, Senator
Bayard said that ii was probable that Gov.
Cleveland will carry out such a southern
policy as is advocated by men like Hampton.
Colquitt and Gordon. While Mr.. Bayard
said be had no aspirations for cabinet posi-
ton, but was contented to serve his state in
the senate, be did not indicate that he would
not be member of the cabinet. He will do
everything in his power to make Mr.. Cleye-
lands administration success, regardless
OF the post OF duty that may be ASST = d him.
The statement that Gov. Cleveland told
him his southern policy would be
guided by the advice OF such men
as Gordon, Colquitt, Lamar and other
ex-contederates has created a nutter among
the southern Democrats who do not belong
this class. Senator Brown, of Georgia, who
was not in southern military service, and
who joined the Republicans after the war, is
exercised over the statement, as it will shut
him out. AS a rule, however, the southern
men are delighted. They say that the Gordons,
Colquitts and Lamars are true representative
men of that section aud that they are the
men who have the ability and confidence of
the people to a degree that viii enable them
to be OF great value to the incoming admin
istratiOn.
THEY WANT TO REMAIN on GUARD.
The most eligible men for cabinet positions
are least willing to take them. There are
plenty of men who are especially fitted for
these places. Take such men as Bayard and
Beck, and Cockrell, and Jones (Florida) and
German, and Garland, and voorhees,, who
have been years n the senate, and thereby
become familiar with public affairs, and they
are the very men who ought to be made the
heads of the departments, and the intimate
personal advisers of the president, and vet
probably not one of those named would be
willing to exchange his place in the senate
for cabinet position. Talking with one of
these gentlemen last evening, one whose
state is presenting pair of favorite sons for
cabinet timber, your correspondent suggested
that one with long experience in the senate,
such as the senator addressed had had, was
much better fitted for a cabinet position than
the ''sticks" that were talked of from his own
state.
'Oh," he said. 'I wouldn't have it.
There is no position in the gift of
the administration which 1 would accept
in exchange for my seat In the senate.
have seen too much of the workings of the
departments to be willing to bury myself
there. If one could be absolutely sure Of
having his own way entirely in the manage
ment of department, he might make rep
utation by reforming its service, nut it would
be great task, and one that few men would
care to undertake so long as they hold the
responsible position of a seat in the senate"
And this is only repetition of
the nuna rle of -
few days ago, in response to a like sug-
gestiOn.
II don't want" he said, "to tie my hands
and seal my lips just at this critical time in
the history of our party, when it needs care
full men on the watch. 1 propose to remain
where can talk.n
This seems TO be the general feeling among
men now in public life.
ARTHUR's SENATORIAL CHANCES.
The nearer the approach OF tue election of
a senator from the state Of New York-the
more the indications are that President
Arthur may be the choice. There is no
doubt that the president would accept the
office if rendered bim and rather enjoy it,
too, but it is quite an established fact that he
would not 90 into a fight for it. The presi-
dents ideas of propriety are pretty clear
and correct, and he would not be willing to
sacrifice the dignity of his Office by entering
upon scramble for a senatorship before he
had retired from the presidential chair. 1t
is to be hoped that if elected he viii be more
fortunate than that other vice presidential
president, johnson, who died with only
thirty days. service in that body after his
post-presidential election.
THE ILLINOIS sENAToRsHIP.
Representative Townshend, Of Illinois.
speaking Of the election of a senator in that
state, said: sit is my opinion the legisla-
ture will fail to elect, and deadlock will
follow. In such event believe Gov. Oglesby
will appoint Senator Logan. There are a
great many lawyers, both Republican and
Democrat, who do not think that under the
constitution of Illinois the governor has the
power Of appointment. Still, think he viii
take the bull by the horns and appoint Logan.
In such an event the Democrats will have to
wait for the next Legislature of the state to
elect a senator,n
SIS Logan popular in nlinois" was
asked.
''Yes.'' he said, ''popular with his own
party. He has enemies in Cook county, no
tably Charley Farwell. He is not, however,
popular beyond his party. He was put on
the Republican ticket with Blaine with view
to strengthen it. and the sequence shows that
Illinois cast less Republican votes than for
Garfield. Logan" he added, sis poor. He
has no means Of support, and out of
politics he is like fish out of water. 1
should not be surprised he said, elf Logan
re-entered public life by waV Of the house of
