stor Phenig >Hsrald: "The govern ment is spending $24,OOO,OOO year in p1<chasing bullion to ty6 into silver dollars" said Representative Buckner today, "and Ihen issuing certificates for this money, and this was not contemplated by the advo- cates of bj<metalism. Either the one and two dollar bank notes shoulXbe withdrawn from circula- tIe6 or we should stop the coinage <of silver dollars for two years. A bill for this latter consummation will pass by large majority If we can get it up in the House.
 The Democratic family IS not happy. There is Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, flor instance, who has gone to Albany to head off Senator Jonas, who aspires to the Postmas- ' ter Generalship. The Louisiana del- egatlon in fact seem to be nearly all opposed to Jonas. Some Pennsyl- vania Democrats are working against Randall for the Cabinet, and now the McDCnald men are excited over the repeated declaration that Hendricks is working to defeat the ex-Senator for a cabinet position. Senator Beck Is said to be clrculate ing a Faper, which has already been ligned by twenty Democratic Sena- iors, urging the President-elect to but MT. Mcdonald in his Cabinet This will be followed up by another bFM to MT. Cleveland, by the Indi> h delegation headed by Senator V hees. The Indiana men, on the q ga, speak very little of MT. Hen dricks' alleged antagonism to Mir. Mcdonald.
 A membeI>e who had a con- sultatien with MT. Cleveland and MT. Tilden at Greystone, is author ity for the statement that it has been positively settled that Senators Bay ard and Garland go into the Cabinet; that Lunar is hesitating about ac- cepting a position, but will doubtless go into the Cabinet; and that it is quite likely, though not settled, that Mcdonald will get the Treasury portfolio.
 Missouri has not been represented in the cabinet TOT sixty years, ex- cept in Lincoln's time," vehemently remarked Representative Buckner this morning. "Missouri Democrats have been ignored even in the heads of the bureaus, and it would seem but justice that we should be receg- nized this year." he added, "and we have indorsed Gov. Broadhead foi Attorney General and we may be happy yet, but the reports are moi encouraging. Perhaps Gibson, of St. Louis, will get the. Berlin mis- sion, but everything seems to be in the dark just now"
 "Col. Villas name has been with drawn as Cabinet possibility, and that of Alexander Mitchell, of Mil waukee substituted for the Treasu- ry," said well known Democrat to- day, who had just returned from g quiet talk with Mir. Cleveland "A1eck is getting rather shaky or his pins, but still has vigor enougf to run the Treasury in great shape.' There will be no trouble anyhow we have so much money in the vaults we actually do not knew wha to do with it.''
