THE LATE CONGRESSMAN EvINS.

In his Washington letter to the Augusta
Chronicle of last Sunday, Mr.. Randall makes
the following reference to the eulogies pro-
nounced in the House of Representatives
upon the late John H. Evins, who died
while member of that body:
No Congressman who has passed away of
late years has been more fortunate in his
eulogies than the late John H. Evins. The
two best memorial tributes were those of
General Tom. Browne, of Indiana, and Mr..
Tillman, of South Carolina. Browne is or
dinarily the most cantankerOus of sectional
Republicans, of the e-God-Barebones
formation; but the beautiful soul of the
man from Spartanburg evoked his homage
and admiration. Mr.. Tillman's eulogy was
quite out of the run Of such speeches. 1t
was severely simple, but had many quaint,
original and profound touches rare union
of sentiment and philosophy. 1t was high
ly complimented by such man as Govern
or Long of Massachusetts, who is master of
the English language and an artist in the
use of it. What Tillman said of Evans is
true. The dead man deserved the praise
so fervently but judiciously bestowed upon
him. Of very few pnblic men can this be
declared, in an age of widespread licentious-
ness aud diShOnOr.

CABINET SPECULATIONS.

By invitation Of Grover Cleveland, Sena-
tor Garland, Of Arkansas, made a second
visit to Albany last week, and this inter-
view with the President-elect is regarded
as the beginning of the earnest and practi-
cal work of organization Of the incoming
administration. On his return to Washing
ton, in conversation with Senators, Mr..
Garland spoke with great frankness. To
one he said:
81 had formed my opinions Of Governor
Cleveland from the press. had never
seen him. When I went to Albany eX-
pected to find man of gross habits and
limited scope, but instead l found dignity
and majesty of person which impressed me
at once. l found q grace and affability Of
manner which soon placed me at ease.
found mind capable of grasping the most
complicated questions of public policy and
the closest details of administration.
found broadness of views, a determina-
tion to do right, range of conservatism
which satisfied my mind that there was a
higher dispensation in the nomination and
election of Grover Cleveland than was re-
allied at the time"
To another Senator, explaining the politi-
cal policy of the President-elect, Mr.. Gar
land said:
Ills lQea Is nOC Cne REHABILITATION Oh Cne
old Democratic party, a sort of furnishing
up the old machinery for new uses. On the
contrary, Mr.. Cleveland proposes to organ
ize a new party-not a Democratic party
nor Republican party, but party founded
on Democratic principles, as enunciated by
the convention of 1884, in their letter and
spirit"
To another Senator, speaking of the Cabi-
net, he said:
GAS far as 1 am able to make my own
conclusions from personal knowledge of
facts, the next administration, so far as the
cabinet is concerned, will be composed of
four distinctly representative men of the
four great sections of the country geograph-
ically-that is, the north, south, east and
west; and the remaining places will be
filled according to the emergencies which
NAV arise at the moment. The choice of
names, or rather the selections, will be
made from a list carefully prepared. But
no Republicans will be appointed to the
cabinet.''
Senator Garland sums up Mr.. Cleveland's
idea in the following words:
"Mr. Cleveland's idea is to act slowly and
deliberately in the dispensation of public
patronage. He will, of course, appoint his
cabinet, and as it's members will have been
chosen with reference to their indorsement
of his own views in such matters, he will
expect the general policy of the admins
tration to be carried out without further di-
rectiOns from him."
