NEW YORK, Feb. 27.-Mr. Cleyelaud's
cabinet matter is like q measure that is
heaped up and running over. His problem
is mixed one of trying to get four or five
men into three or four places. He has fixed
four men and four places. He has fixed one
man and possibly two besides. He has three
men in prospect for the cabinet
who must be fitted into the
vacant places right before him.
Meanwhile there is growing cloud in Della
ware that threatens to smash the slate into
smithereens The men on whom odds Of
one hundred to one are offered are Bayard,
Garland, Lamar and Manning. That Villas
is now also fixed is also certain, but whether
for the war or postofiice is problematical. Jones
was placed in the navy, but EnGicott appears
to have got the best Of him. Mr.. Cleveland
would like Whitney at Washington. He may
find Mcdonald necessity, but it is the
opinion Of those who are.
NEAREST HIM
that out Of the names thus far mentioned
seven selections will be made The Della
ware matter is serious M GRAY will prob
ably succeed Bayard but the party in the
state viii be so split up in the contest that it
is likely 10 fall an easy prey to the
Republicans. l find the best work
ing Democratic politicians predicting
that Delaware will be Republican
inside Of year or two. Col. Kingman T.
Paige said tonight: mo president has ever
been successful in forming a cabinet out Of
senatorial timber. It is 4 fair prediction that
the senatorial trio now on M CleveIqnd's
slate will not be there when the list goes to
the senate in March. The chances are that
way.
DELAWARE Is II CHAOS
already over the question Of who shall sue
ceed Mr.. Bayard. He NAV be compelled at
the last moment TO withdraw from the cabi-
net in order TO save the state. That is what
Allison did with Garfield. He had accepted
the treasury. When he found that Iowa was
going to be torn to pieces in the selection Of
his successor be withdrew on the 81 of March
and left Garfield in terrible predicament.
Col. Smalley, who had been listening, re-
marked quietly that the chances are two To
one that if Bayard goes into the cabinet and
Gray becomes his successor, that Delaware's
next senator after him will be Il Republican.
Whether the charge is true or false,

muddle. He has never forgiven Bavard
and Thurman for their part in the
electoral commission of 1876. It would be
Machiayclan revenge to so manipulate Mr..
Bayard and Delaware that the latter should
be lost on the shady side Of a cabinet made
up Of his antagonists and his state slip away
from his grasp to the enemy There would
be no Bayard following at the national con
vention OF lSSS in such an event.
