WASHINGTON, Feb. A.-It was reported at
the Capitol, this afternoon, among Ohio Demo
Gratis, that Governor Hoadly had received let
ter from Samuel j. Tilden which put him in such
good spirits that he communicated its full con-
tents to Democratic friend in Congress from
that State. Mr.. Tildens letter stated it is said,
that Mr.. Cleveland had list of fourteen names
from which he would select his Cabinet, and that
Hoadlys was among them. 1t is reported that,
upon kthe strength Of this letter, rooms have
been reserved for the Governor during inaura-
ton week, and that he will be here within four
or FIVE days to stay it out Beyond this there
have been few Cabinet developments to-day.
1t is stated tonight that friends of ex-senator
Mcdonald are saying they have no hopes now
that he will be a Cabinet officer. The actions of
Senator Lamar are interpreted to mean that he
has been rendered and has accepted Cabinet
portfolio, probably the postofice. Charles
Mitchell, Of Connecticut, is being talked OF for
the navy, along with Frank Jones, of New
Hampshire. Colonel Villas, of Wisconsin, having
reserved rooms at the Ebbitt for an indefinite
period is believed to indicate that he will be in
the Cabinet He will arrive here on Saturday
Manning for the Treasury, Bayard for Secretary
of State and Garland for Attorney-general, con-
tinue to be unquestioned in the public mind.
DARK HORSE FOR THE PosToFFIcE.
Don't be surprised to hear that the President
elect has chosen two members of his Cabinet
from one State said New York man to-day,
yh ia in cloco ro1a tiops with fba A1hapv etafao
man. 4 Cleveland is likely to select his advisers
to suit himself, and without regard to geograph
ical limits. 1t is pretty well understood that Mr..
Manning is to be the Secretary Of the Treasury,
but there is another New York statesman who
has been offered place in the Cabinet, who has
not been talked of very much outside the city of
Buffalo
ITO whom do you aludep
10 Wilson >. BISSeri, -.,urrr.s>,y-re..~-...-.-
partner and present warm personal friend of the
Presidente elect"
Have you any grounds for the belief that this
gentleman has chance for placel"
II have this, and he handed your correspond
ent letter, signed by Buffalo lawyer, well
known to hm, which stated that Mr. Bissell had
been rendered seat in the Cabinet by Mr..
Cleveland, and that he was not anxious to leave
his law practice for Cabinet hohors 1T is the
belief of friends the letter continued, that
Mr.. Bissell can have the Postoffce Department
if he will say the word, and there are many of
us who think that he will still be induced to ac
cept the call of his FRIEND Grover Cleveland"
This letter bears out the statement Of the AL
bany correspondents that dark horse is likely
to be selected for the Postoffice Department
