ALBANY, Feb. 13.-It is certain that up to
this time President elect Cleveland has made
no tender of Cabinet position either orally
or by letter to- any person. He has made

thority that it was not certainly known that
he was coming. The time of the President
elect has been almost wholly taken up since
his return from New York by people who for
the most part have called only to pay their
respects. A party of gentlemen from Grand
Rapids who were members of the Cleveland
and Hendricks club Of that place have asked
they be accorded half-hour's interview and
will be here tomorrow or Monday. After Mon
day Mr.. Cleveland will absolutely decline to
see anyone without exception, as he feels
that he must have some time to himself.
The Michigan delegation after calling on Mr..

pleased at his appointment to and acceptance
of the portfolio of Secretary of the Treasury.
Mr. Manning said he wished no position and

sire not to take any. Many of his friends
here, however, believe he will finally accept
the position.
