THE CABINET.

-Thos. Francis Bayard has been ap-
pointed Cleveland's Secretary Of State.
Mr Bayard is lawyer BY profession
and is recognized as one of the eminent
statesmen of America. He is the third !
in direct line to represent the state of
Delaware in the Senate, having sue
cesded his father, aid his grandfather
having represented the state at the be-
ginning of the century. Mr.. Bayard
was Cleyeland's principal competitor
but the smallness of his state made his
nomination inexpedient.
Daniel Manning, of New York, in
becoming Secretary of the Treasury,
accepts his first Office. lie is re-
n,arkable example of the magnificent
system of our free institutions. At an
early age, carrier for the Albany Argus,
: at fifteen a reporter. aud az twenty-four
its chief editor. Mr.. Manning has been
fsithful to every trust and has won his
reward AS politician, he was Dir.
Tilden's most trusted lieutenant and is
/ the man who discovered Grover Cleve-
land. A warm personal friend of the
President, true Democrat and an able
man, Mr.. Manning will be trusty
adviser.
I. @. G. Lamar, Secretary of the
Interior, is ono of the best known of
Southern statesmen. He is brilliant
and aggressive, and with warm and
generous temperament, he counts his
friends by the thousands. He has been
Senator from Mississippi fer several
years, and has ranked as one of the
leaders of that body. He viii bring
great experience and sound abilities to
the councils of the President.
William G. Whitney. of New York,
Secretary of the NAVY, is man of the
same mould as Grover Cleveland. A
hard-working, pains taking lawyer of
sound brain force. He was City At
torney for New York, Immediately
after the downfall of the Tweed ring,
when 5000 suits were brought against
the city government These were dis
posed Of, the Office thoroughly system
atized and nominal 200 suits turned
over to his successor. He is also the
founder of that magnificent system of
party representation known as the
County Democracy, which has dealt
the death-blow to Tammany Hall.
The Navy department needs just such
an honest, indefatigable man as Mr..
Whitney to clean out It's Augean sta
bles of corruption. Like Mr. Manning
he IS warm personal friend of the
President.
VIM. Endicott, Of Massachusetts,, is
the least known Of all the Cabinet, and
has the Portfolio of the War depart
ment. He has been Supreme Judge
and candidate for Governor Of Massa-
chusetts. His appointment is highly
endorsed by the Independents and he
is said to be a man of great ability.
VIM. f. Villas, of Wisconsin, is the
Post Master General. He is the leader
of the Wisconsin Bar, and the receg-
nized head of the young Democracy Of
that state. He was chairman of the
Chicago Convention that nominated
President Cleveland. He is an elo-
quent orator and man of great attain
msnts.
Augustus Fl. Garland, of Arkansas,
Attorney General, was the one ap-
peintment Of President Cleveland, that
has pleased everybody. He is recog-
nized as pre-eminentIy one of the great

believer in and a true representative of
the new era in the South. As Atter-
ney General, he will watch the inter
ests of the people closely, and the adj
ministration can always rely on his
judgment and advice.
To sum up the Cabinet we have but
to say that the three Senators, Bayar
Lamar and Garland are all members Of
the Judiciary Committee-the most
honorable and able Committee of the
Senate While the four Others have
gained fame for themselves through
their untiring industry and good, hon
est work, which means that President
Cleveland.s administration will be enc
Of great industry and ability. Well
done, so far!
