lands Advisers.
NEW YORK, Jan. SOTO political and
personal friend with whom he talked in
Washington on Wednesday Mr.. Garland
said that he had no protfer of place as yet
from Mr.. Cleveland and no intimatiOn of
the coming Presidents intentions. The
opposition to Bayard is from numerous
sources, nearly all centring in a feeling
that he assumes to be better than his
party fellows. The plea made by his
friends that he cannot accept the Secre-
taryship of State because he is poor has
hurt him, because he has always been
stickler for simplicity in government, and
now having the opportunity to make
practical demonstration of his teaching,
shirks the task Ever since Mr.. Pendle-
ton was in New York and held consult2-
tons with Bayard's Brooklyn admirers
there have been reports that Mr.. Bayard
would prefer to see "Gentleman George
in the State Department and to remain
himself in the Senate. EX-GOY. Click. Of
Kansas, ard j. P. Boyd Of Nebraska. who
have been in Albany to press the appoint
ment Of DR.. Miller, Of the Omaha Herdtd,
for Postmaster General, were in this city
Yesterday. Mr.. Click when seen by a re-
porter said:
mir. Cleveland received US very kindly,
and quite won us 10 personal admiration
bv his kindness and consideration"
what about the Cdbmet:"
"Well, we would like to see DR.. Miller
in the Cabinet. He has fine executive
ability. and it would help to regain the
Northwest to the Democratic column, as
it was in the old days"
''But what did MIR. Cleveland indicate
to yOu?"
"Now, you must allow me to be silent.
have learned that much of Mr.. Cleve-
land. He is 4 good listener. l think all
the more of him tor it. OF one thing | am
certain. however, he has not made any
decision in reference to the Cabinet, and
viii nOtdO so until everybody has had
hearing"
Congressman Money, of Mississippi, is
also in the city. He said yesterday: Il
know nothing about the Cabinet, and in
that respect am. | presume, like every one
Sc. | have never met Mr.. Cleveland, or
written Elm, or induced any Of my friends
to do SO. OF course l am aware Of the
mention ofmy name for Postmaster Gen
eraI, tut it is a matter l cannot talk
about"
The report from Wsshington that he
was in cooperation with Duke tlwynn,
of California, to oppose Mr. Garland, be-
cause VI tuc ilu plObdoAllbg tudb 1h4oo1c-
sippi and Arkansas, lying together, could
both be represented in the Cabinet, Mr..
Money Indignantly and emphatically de-
nounced as a ''lie out of whole cloth,
and he added that while he counted Mr..
Gwvnn a friend, he knew positively that
the latter Is taking no partin politics.
The story is current hiatt attack on
Garland really comes from other candi-
dates for AttOrney-General among whom
are James 0. Broadhead, J. Randolph
| Tucker and Richard Z. Merrick. It was
saddled on Mr.. Money because the first
person to give voice 10 it was Gen. Van
Manning, Of Mississippi. Manning is
more interested in having a friend in the
Department of Law than in the Post
Office Department, and is untriendly to
| Garland
The present prospects are that the New
| York Democrats viii be divided in prefer
ence between William c. Whitney,
William DOrsheimer and Edward Cooper
