Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
ALBANY, n. Y, February 90. - Mr.. Daniel
Manning spent several hours in consultation
with Presdent-elect Cleveland last evening,
but 1t is not definitely decided that he will
enter the cabinet. How strong are the proba-
bilities anyone can see for himself. The report
that the argus stockholders met yesterday to
provide for Mr.. Manning's retirement Is not
true. Mr.. Manning himself owns, OF holds
proxies for, all but an insignificant number OF
Argus shares. Chairman VIM. E. Smith, of the
state democratic executive committed, has
been consulting with Mr.. Manning this morn
ing. The objection raised to Mr.. Manning, that
ne Is stockholder in national bank does
not count for much, as Secretary toger
throughout his term held such stock.
SENATOR JACKSON AS A CABINET POSSIBILITY.
The report that Frank Stetson has been dis
patchedby Cleveland to consult Thurman and
Villas is untrue. Mr.. Ceveland's communica-
tions have been and will be by mail. The Pres
ident-elect, as has been stated, some time ago
In these columns, has about determined to
choose three southern men, counting senator
Bayard one, for his cabinet, and the choice
seems limited to Senators Lamar, Garland, and
jackson, OF Tennessee. Gov. Cleveland iias a
liking for Senator Jackson as a leader Of young
democracy in the south, and he is "A more for.
mldable rival of Senator Garland for Attorney
General than has been generally supposed.
Beyond these three southern positions the
President-elect is disposed to regard personal
ntness rather than geographical claims in COM
posing his cabinet.
NEW YORK MAY POSSIBLY GET TWO MEMBERS.
1t is by no means impossible for instance that
two members may come from New York. 1t
is literally true that the Presidentelect is spec
ulating as much on the final composition of his
cabinet, although in circle restricted to a
dozen men, as are newspapers in the wider
sphere of the whole democracy. His present
will not take shape. SO that those affected by
them will be finally consulted before next
week. The fixed points now are Mr.. Bayard
for Secretary of State. the Treasury for New
York, the Attorney General for the south, and
the Navy for New England.
Presidentelect Cleveland spent yesterday I'm
reading and jotting down more notes and
thoughts for his inaugural address. He has not
attempted to put pen to paper yet I'm the actual
wording of the document So far as the tariff
Is concerned, the line of thought in his Newark
address will probably be followed in a general
way, and Senator-elect Evarts will be likely to
read some things of interest concerning the
Presidents views of the solid south.
There does not now seem to be remote DOS
sibflity that the names of Congressman Hewitt
in connection with the cabinet.
The impression grows hourly that Senator
Jackson, of Tennessee, is being considered by
the President-elect for a cabinet position, with
the chances very favorable to his being given q
portfolio.
