Speaking of the new cabinet a "Demo-
oratlc public man" said to q Washington
correspondent OF the New York World:
PRESIDENT Cleveland should have in his
oaoihet those who are familiar not alone
WIN pnelic men and their methods, but
Win the men who run and wreck all
with whom they come In contact, eppulf-
ing In their fall parties and pripoipIas.

Hale, Hoaf, Wilson and Logan. II is in
Pottant for the President to consider this
view Of the situa.ion in Congress. Every
administration msseure will have to run
the gauntlet Of the most experienced of
tne hePuolean veterans. Therefore Il is
OF the utmost Importance when we are, 40

OHIO AND THE CABINET.
II must be conceded to Mr.. John
MoLsan that Delaware is a very small
state But, small as Delaware is, that
state has contributed more than
Ohio to the election Of Cleveland.
When 1t comes to making up q cabinet,
men, not state lines, are con ,idered, From
this point of view Delaware ia very large.

The State Of Delaware is small, but
gave three electoral votes to the Demo-
cratic candidate for President. II our
recollection serves us Alright the state Of
Ohio did not do 80 we'll. And vet the
