WAsm:GToN, Feb. 20 Interesting in
formation from q source quite authoritative
is obtained here Of Mr.. Tlden's wishes in
regard to the cabinet The sage has specially
sought to control or dictate the appointment
Of the secretary Of the treasury. In his con-
ference with Mr. Cleveland he was com
raratiyely Indifferent as TO the other
places, but he wanted a man who
agreed with all his financial ideas
chosen. His first choice was Andrew
Il Green, the ex-comptrol!er Of New York
city, but Mr.. Cleveland decided that he could
not take him. Green was clearly identified
with tue
FAcTIONAL OCARRELS
Of the party for one thing, and another Oh
lection Of the president elect was that he
was really unknown outside Of New York.
Tilden next urged Gov. Hoadly of Ohio, but
Mr.. Cleveland did not assent 10 that. He
was satisfied if any cabinet minister was
taken from Ohio the Democratic party
demanded that it should be Thurman. =.
Tiden next proposed Manning, 4 selection
which accorded with Mr.. C!evoland's inclina-
tions but it seems the mngwumps don't take
kindly 70 Manning and that the anti
national bank element Of the party object 10
MIN. IN truth Manning does not care to go
into the cabinet, and Mr.. Cleveland is still in
a state Of indccisioa with regard to the treas
ury, though from present indications it is
quite probable that Manning will finally be
decided upon.
Mr.. TIIDEN OBJECTED
to Bavard for the treasury, not because Of
the lattcr's financial views, but on personal
grounds He does not like Bayard. The
Delaware senator mas been too intimate with
1ammany and The Sage of Greystonc has a
memory. Tiden also objected 10 McDonald,
and ne had. il is thought. good deal 10 do
with laying Mcdonald out though
Mr. Cleveland himself. while csteeming
Mcdonald as an honorable man has all the
time it is said
FEAR
that hc might be too .rood natured and easy
going for the interior department. Mr..
Cleveland has been advised that it was Ne
DonaId's easy good nature and disposition
10 accommodate which LED him into support
ing Stanley Matthews for the supreme bench.
It is almost safe to say that the
vote cast several years ago has
cost Mcdonald a place in the cabinet
1t IS hiuted that Mr.. Cleveland secretly feared
that the same Democratic influences which
prevailed upon Mcdonald to vote for
Matthews might, should he be secretary Of the
interior, persuade him to do other things,
not to be altogether approved Of The re-
