SKETCHES OF THE CABINET.
Thomas F. Bayard all know as Senator
from Delaware, one of the largest figures in
that body though from the smallest State
He is a native Delawarean, ffty-seven years
of age next October 29th. He is a lawyer by
profession, though he started out to be a mer-
chant; and he is the fourth member of his
his family who has sat in the Senate of the
United States. His ability, rectitude of char
acter and acquaintance with public affairs are
too well known to need further statement on
that head. He was strong competitor of
Mr.. Cleveland for the nomination for the
Presidency.
Augustus H. Garland is the same general
type of man as Mr.. Bayard, and lately repre-
scented Arkansas in the Senate. He is a
Tennesseean by birth, fifty three years old
next June. His father was a farmer, who
educated his son at the colleges of st. Mary's
and st. Joseph's, in Kentucky. His parents
had removed to Arkansas soon after he was
born, and in that State Mr.. Garland has spent
his manhood life, in the practice of law, ex-
cept during the recent war, when he was an
officer in the Confederate army. He was orig
inally Wing in politics, and was on the Bell
Everett electoral ticket. He has been Cover
nor of his State, and remarkably good one.
He is an unusually able man, a sound lawyer,
and a man of high character. He was in the
United States Senate about seven years.
Lucius Q. G. Lamar is also taken from the
Senate to go into the Cabinet. He will be
sixty years of age next September, and is a
native of Georgia. He was aducated at Emory
College, in that State, and removed to Missis-
sippi when he was quite young man. He
has been planter, lawyer and college professor,
as we'll as Senator. He was a Confederate
colonel during the civil war; Asprofessor his
chairs were mathematics, political economy
and social science. He is fine scholar,
broad and liberal man in politics and an elo
quent orator. He is very sturdy in his polt-
ical independence, having, when the green
back imitation craze swept over his State, re-
fused to obey the instructions Of his Legisla-
ture to vote for that heresy. The inhaGonists
then tried to beat him for the Senate, but he
beat them. He is very highly esteemed by
all his brother Senators of all parties.
Daniel Manning is native New Yorker,
born at Albany, and is in his fifty fourth
year. He was printers boy in the old Ar
CUES Office, grew up with that paper, and is

Bank at Albany and a proprietor in a num-
Der of public enterprises. He first became
prominent in Mr. Tildens campaign in 1876.
and his identification with the promotion of
Mr.. Cleveland's political fortunes are well
known. He belongs to the type of quiet, pru
dent, but most energetic politicians. He is
said to be man of uncommon intellectual
force, with broad grasp of any situation he
has to deal with-a good judge of men and the
motives that actuate them, and strong, orig
inal thinker.

man by birth, in his forty, fifth gear, gradu-
ate of Yale and a lawyer by profession. He
has been actively engaged in politics, aiding
very largely in the transfer of the old time

and the ability and speed with which he dis

very successful in his profession.

Supreme Court of Massachusetts, born in that
State, and ffty-seve years of age. He is
Harvard graduate, went to the practice of the
lazy, was on the Supreme Bench for nine years
when injured health caused him to resign.
He, like Senator Garland, was an old line
Wing, and like him was on Bell Everett Elec-
toral ticket in 1860. In later years he has af-
filiated with the Democrats and was their
