THE CABINET.
and judgmen.

What there is reason to believe will be
Cleveland's Cabinet appeared in Thurs
days kilograms from Albany, the names
selected and the departments to which
they are to be assigned being as follows:
Bayard, Secretary of State; Manning,
Secretary of the Treasury; Lamar.
Secretary of the Interior; Garland, At
torney-General; Villas, Postmaster
General; with the probabilities that
Whitney will be Secretary of the Navy
and Endicott, of Massachusetts,, Secre-
tary of War. No one will say that the
Cabinet as thus arranged will not be a
strong one, being made up of true and
tried Democrats, and the majority of
them prominent and able Statesmen.
The fact that two members come from
New York will be unfortunate in that
it will necessarily displease Democrats of
other States and sections who think that
favors and honors should be as widely
distributed as possible with consistency
and regard for good government. How
ever, this objection will be speedily over
come by the excellence and ability of
the ministers. Besides, the case is not
exceptional, more than one Cabinet
having contained two members from a
State. Far better cause for complaint
can be found in the fact that the
western and middle sections of the
nation have been ignored, important as
they are to the nation, and highly
necessary as it is that the Democracy
take course to strengthen itself west
of the Alleghanies. It will be only
ashort time before the west and far west
will control the nation politically and
lead it industrially, and the party that
makes itself frmest in this broad re-
gion now will reap the reward. Without
weakening the Cabinet in the least de-
gree New England could have been
left out for the sake of the trans Mis-
souri, empire, and New York would
have been content with one man in the
Cabinet, the other place being held by
Mississippi Valley man. However, the
Cabinet as made up will prove anything
but distasteful to the Democracy gener-
ally, and we believe it will soon come to
be recognized as one of the ablest that
has been made up in modern times.
So far as Utah is concerned, we find in
the list no known friends to the Terri
tery-unless it be Lamar. Bayaard and
Garland are both prominent in their
views, though it is be-
fieved their democracy is so deep and
controlling, and theil regard for the
Constitution and the rights of the peo-
pie so high, that they will at least be
lawful in their recommendation and
operations. Villas, the brilliant young
lawyer and orator of the northwest, is
on record with an ti-Mormon speech.
Nothing of friendly or conservative
need be expected from Endi-
colt, as New England has long held it
to be her special mission to prosecute
the Saints. Nothing whatever. is
known of Manning or Whitney, except
that they are among the shrewdest of
shrewd politicians and party managers.
THERE is no keener man in the Democra-
tic party that Daniel C. Manning, of
Albany, to whom more than to any other
individual, the Democracy and Cleve
land owe the latter's election. Manning
is the pupil of the patriot Tilden and
the latter will probably see that the
Young man assumes no other than anup-
right position in Utah as well as on other
questions.
