WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-It now develops
beyond doubt that the respective cabinets
which have been made for President Cleve-
land have been set up by clique Of sena-
tors with the wish acting as father to the
thought. Ever since congress met there
have been daily conferences In the senate
cloak rooms, and those who were admitted
to be OF the circle have obtruded upon the
public a cabinet of their own selection
rather than that of the president-elect.
There is good authority now for
the statement that since his
election as president, Gov. Cleveland has
not invited living man to Albany with any
view as to the contraction of his cabinet
Mr.. Bayard's visit was of his own seeking, as
was that of Senator Garland. The report is
that, without any authority, Mr.. Dorsheimer,
Of New York, told each they would be well
come visitors and upon such assurances both
made trip to Albany. Neither at those re-
spective visits or subsequently, has Mr.. Cleve-
land indicated to either gentleman he was
to be Of his official family, though it is said
that Mr.. Bayard caused it to be communicated
indirectly that, if be was in the presidents
mind for cabinet place, he would not leave
the senate except to be at the head of the
treasury department. The visit Of Gov.
Cleveland to New York, which is contem-
plated next week, has revived In
terest in speculations Informa-
ton received here in roundabout
way is that Mr.. Cleveland will remain in
the city of New York probably two weeks.
While there he will begin to give serious at
tention to the constitution of his cabinet 1t
is not his intention to invite any body to call
on him, although it is announced, doubtless
upon his own authority, that he will be glad
to receive the advise of representative Demo-
Gratis, and will give all such as may call
upon him an attentive audience. This
method Of communication does not at all
please exclusive senators. More than one
secret conclave has been held and It has
been decided by the governing coterie that
II Mr.. Cleveland does not see bit TO invite
them over to see him by specific invitation,
they propose TO let him alone. The secret
ivsness Of the new president does not at all
please them, and after their winters dem
onstration they have awakened to a realizing
sense that they may be left. True
1t Is that not senator in this city has anv
idea of the plans Of the new executive nor
any one Of them been asked either TO enter
the cabinet or advance views touching its
construction. 1t is now but little more than
a month before the new president takes hold
No wonder there is good deal Of frettIng
here now. There was hope, when certain
senators began to make up cabinet, that
Gov. Cleveland was an impresdonable man
and would gladly accept their handiwork
rather than trouble himself with such details.
II Is now demonstrated that he Is a man OF
some convictions of his own, entirely
household. 1t need, therefore, not be
surprise If President Cleveland surprises the
country when his cabinet is announced II
may be that not q Cleveland senator will be
in It. II Mr.. Cleveland is inclined to try
young blood in the Democratic party, II is
almost certain none will be. All cabinets
thus far made have not had their origin AT
Albany, but have emanated within this city
without a shadow Of anything tangible to rest
upon. The very men who nre claimed as
debating in their minds whether they could
afford to accept cabinet donors have been
trying 10 break into the cabinet through the
back door. Thus far the new president has
managed well TO keep his own counsel.
1t is because of this that his sphynx, like
silence, is beginning to exasperate the set
VINO started out to mold him to suit their own
purposes. These men are aching TO be In
vited to have a conference when the presl-
dent elect reaches New York. They say now,
II not invited, they will not go to New York,
but the chances are that they viii be the
earliest on the ground as unbidden cousel-
ors.
