Forth as Reliable
New York Herald.
ALBANY, Feb. II, 18S5.-The following
statements may be implicitly relied upon.
The Information was obtained to day by
your correspondent from the best and
most reliable authority
Firsi-Prssident Cleveland's cabinet
will not be formally announced until
after that gentleman's arrival in Wash
ipgton.
Seoond-The assertion that the cabinet
would be- named at the close OF the
present week was circulated without the
knowledge or consent Of those entirely
familiar with the exact facts.
Third-Bven II q cabinet Ia agreed
upon here, The names are susceptible TO
change at the very last moment.
Fourth-Mr. Cleveland ia not likely TO
leave Albany for Washington until thu
morning Of March 81, the day imme
diately preceding his inauguration.
Fitth-No more invitations are out Gall
ing to Albany additional ''distipRuished
Democratic statesmen" for consultation.
Sixth-Mr. Thurman has not bsen in
vited to Albany, and ia not ex pected here
| EoNouhu-mEs Ol6Nclhuu ukb uOL vel
commenced 10 write his inaugural mes
sage, and will not do 30 until next week
Eighth-The document ia not likely to
be more than three times the length Of
his famous letter Of acceptance, probably
q little longer than a half dozen Of
Willlsm Maxwell Evarts' sentences
delivered before the electoral commission
OF 1875, which fraudulently seated Mr.. R
B. Hayes as President.
Ninth-The President. elect is not Il
all worried over the tremendous rush Of
"advising statesmen" to his doors or the
we'll filed baskets Of advising letters
daily received through the mails. He ii
as calm, collected and simple mapnered
as ever. When your correspondent con
versed with him at his Willet street resi-
dencs he was as placid and bland 80 tn,
day he first took seat in the exeoutiv,
chamber at the new oApitol.
Tenth and La7t-The csbinet slate (as
far as 1t goes) lately made up by IN,
H-rold I'D other authorities Seems to b,
the most likely at present writing Their,
IS no positive contradiction here Of tb,
statements that Mr.. BAyAId ia to be Score
tsry Of State and Mr.. Manning secretarJ
of the Treasury. Then follow the some
what we'll founded assertions that Mr.
Garland Ia to bs Attorney General ant
Mr.. Villas Secretary of War. Beyond tina
all Is uncertain. Mr.. Lamar ia talked o
for Postmaster. General, Mr.. Thurman fol
seoretery Of the Iaterir AMI Mr.
Mcdonald for Secretary Of the Navy. Til,
last named Is very ,ublful As hav
said before, the cabinet programme 4
susceptible Of decided change at the yer,
last moment, and this statement is mao
upon authority that cannot be questioned
The fact that Mr.. Bsysrd vlsite,
AlbsOy last Sunday is considered by tn
politicians here a. conducive that he will
be the next Secretary Of Slate. Tier
: seems to be no doubt but that he cal
nave the place II he desires 1t. II Ia iur
ther eaid by those who know the insid
facts that the repson he hss delayed hi
acceptance ia because he is not 9 man q
means, and does not believe that one Ii
, his circumstances could carry on th
office Of Secretary Of State in the name
1t has been conducted OF late years
There are . great many Incidents
expenses connected with the position
which take certain amount Of money
Mr. Bsyard, for that reason alone, is mn
Oerstood to hesitate. II ia conceded to
night that 1t will be positivel
known within the next day or tw
whether he has decided to take the posi
tion or reject the tender, II = tender hs
been made.
