ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 25.-The Pot Dispatell
publishes special from Albany which, II
claims, lsperfectly authentic and reliable.
\ II states that Cleveland has already Of;
fered five Cabinet portfolios and they have
been accepted by tile following gentle.
men:
T.F, Bayard, Secretary otstate.
D. B. Manning, Secretary Of the Trea-
sury.
w. +. Villas, Postmaster General.
A. II. Garland, Attorney General
Cleveland wishes to appoint Whitney
Secretary Of the Navy but hesitates to
take two Cabinet officers from New York
State, but 1t is probable Whitney will be
rendered this portfolio. The War Depart
ment will be rendered either Judge Endi-
colt or Patrick A. Collins, both Of
Massachusetts, with the preference
in flavor Of Endicott,. who was the Deni-
ocratic nominee for Governor last
summer, and who will come nearer
than any other gentleman in representing
the Independents. Cleveland, inhis in.
augural, will take his stand on the tariff
question on the plank Of the Chicago con.
vention platform. He also will take a
positive position on tlle.silyer question in
favor Of one standard.

democratic senators DeWallIus the Loss Of
Bayard, Garland aud Lamar.
wAsRlNaroS, D. O., Feb. 25.-For some
days senators Bayard and Garland have
been looked upon as Cabinet certainties,
and now that Lamar has sat up or slept q
night with Mr.. Cleveland it is taken for
granted that he, too, has been called.
One Of ofthemost interesting features Of tile
situation is the feeling OF dismay with
which Democrats contemplate tho aching
void that will be left in the Senate on
their side by the sudden retirement
all at once Of three such bell wetherss
IT seems likely that the void will con-
tinue to ache, for the material that is
being brought. forward in Delaware, Ar.
kansas and Mississippi for the expected
vacancies does not promise TO adequately
| I'll the seats now occupied by the three
Senator'S named. Spirited contests are
| now going on, in view Of the probabilities,
in which congressman are taking an &C.
tive part. Mnch interest Is felt among
Democrats in the selections that will be
made, provided the vacancies occur. No
one vii! question the fact that the trio OF
Senators are representative Southern men
and will be in this respect good, sound
Cabinet timber. Lamar was two years q
Colonel in tho Confederate Army and
would doubtless have got to be a Major
General il lie had not been sent by Jetter-
son D avis in 1868 on q diplomatic mission
to Russia. q
Garland hclped by his vote in the
Arkansas Convention In 1851 to carry his
State ouf OF tho Union and then served in
the Confederate Congress until the final
wreck Of tho concern.
Bayari's State did not go out and he
stayed in the Union with It, but the
people OF the country have not forgotten
the speech he mRdein favor Of the secel-
| ing States and against the right otthe
Government to Goerce them. II does not
appear that any Of these distinguished
men have as yet wept copiously atSthe
mourners' bench or have admitted To any
perceptible extcnt that they were wrong
then. Perhaps tits as well under all the
circumstances attending the great Demo-
cratic restoration that they should be.
broughtto the front. So for SO the returns
| are In no Northern Democratic Senators
seem likely ito be called.
Aquestion has recently been raised with
regard TO the eligibility Of Daniel Nam
ning, Of Albany, for Secretary Of the
Treasury, inasmuch as he Is astockholder
in the Commercial National Bank, of that
city. Judge Lawrence, First Controller Of
the Treasury, upon being asked by re-
porter to-day Tor his opinion on=the sub
tect, said:
"rhe same question was carefully ex.
amined by Judge Folgcr when heiwas ap-
pointed Secretary Of the Treasury, and he
decided that the Secretary might be q
stakeholder In q National Bank. During
| the whole time he was Secretary Of the
Treasury he was director in tho
Geneva National Bank. When Mr..
Sherman was Secretary Of the Treas.
Jury the question was raised as to his
eligibility, because lie was q stakeholder
and. .Dlrectorin a railroad company and so
was Interested in commerce. Butthe OBJ
lection waseatitely unfonndod. The stat.
ute only prohibits persons from dealing In
public securities or from engaging In com.
merce, and does not prohibit him from
being ockholder in q corporation. The
! statute relates TO the man, not to the cor
/ poration. a rule In each branch Of Con.
gtess prohibits members from voting on,
any question in which they are personally
interested, but It has. always been held
that members who are stockholders in
banks or railroad companies may vote on
questions affecting them"
