CIeveland,s Cabinet

New YORK, February 25.-Tke World
of Thursday will contain the follow
ing:
ALBANY, February 25.-As concerns
the Cabinet, the air has cleared
very rapidly since Mr.. Lamar
left here yesterday. His visit
brought things to a head, and
when he parted from Cleveland, the
Cabinet was practically completed. l
have learned from a source not to be
questioned for a moment, that Cleve-
land has positively settled on five mem
bers and all of them have given in their
formal acceptances. These are the
names and places they are to fill:
Bayard, Secretary of State; Manning,
Secretary of the Treasury; Lamar,
Secretary of the Interior; Garland,
Attorney General; Villas, Postmaster
General. This leaves the war ana navy
portfolios to be filed. He is now dis
posed to appoint Whitney to the navy.
If he had to send in his Cabinet to-day,
he would, no doubt, do so. OF course,
York. This is worrying him good
is about decided to ignore
tarily incur much inevitable criticism
of hostile character for the sake of
having man in the Navy Department
whom he understands and who under
stands him. 1t need not be surprising
if he does so anyhow. In fact, it is
probable that he will AS to the War
Department, he is hating be-
tween two men = Judge Endicott
and Honorable Patrick A. Collins, of
Observation-Disclosures chances in favor of
| the former. One of these is sure to be
appointed and will go in as the repre-
sentative of New England. The chances
to-day are clearly that he will appoint
Judge Endicott, who will be remembered
as the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor in Massachusetts, last year.
His selection would be particularly salts
! factory to the Independents who sup
ported Cleveland, though his Demo-
craey is not to be doubted. The Cabinet
thus made up, of course, disposes,
| finally, of both Thurman and Nc
Donald, ana leaves the western and
middle States without representative.
The greatest hindrance to the appoint
ment of Mcdonald is the irritating and
disturbing effect it would have on the
! Indiana Democracy, which was not a
ulllb IA LILO dQfOCdIl IOt IL cillllidl
reason Cleveland passed over Thur
man; an additional objection being his
age, which, in Cieyeland'S opinion,
would hardly permit his undertaking
the pressing work that must devolye
upon the Cabinet officers in the coming
administration. 1t is understood
that there is to be appointed to the pen
sion bureau, which belongs to the De
partment of the Interior, well-known
Union general, which would allay any
hostile criticism that might arise from
Lamar's having been a prominent Con-
federate.
1t may be added that Cleveland is
well along with his inaugural address.
1t will be brief, simple and plain, like
all his public utterances. He will take
the same position on the tariff
question as that laid down in the Chi
cago Democratic platform, advocating
reforms of the present tariff system,
but with due consideration for the Incl
dental protection of American labor and
industries. He will take positive
grounds against the continuation of the
silver coinage. Some time ago, he
received letter from 100 Congressman
headed by.Reagan, of Texas-asking
him to be non-committal on the silver
question in his inaugural. This letter
he is just about answering, and, in it
will give his reasons for taking the
ground against further coinage.
