CARLISLE IN ALBANY.
Grover Cleveland Invites the Noted Pol
itican to His Home in Order to
ssNork" Him for Some
Points.

ALBRNr. n Y, Jan. 30.
Speaker Carlisle. accompanied by his wife
arrived here this evening from New York,
and Immediately went to rooms prepared for
them in the Delevan house. He afterwards
was driven with Col Lamont to President
elect Cleveland's residence
The letter in answer to which Carlisle
came to Albany is understood to have stated
that the president-elect would be glad to see
him and avail himself of anv suggestions
that Carlisle might have to offer in regard to
the measures and men for the cabinet
1t is believed that Carlisle, while he will
not accept a cabinet position, is very anxious
that Cleveland shall appoint tariff reformer
as secretary of the treasury. He does not
urge the selection of pronounced free
trader, but will be satisfied with a man of
modern reform views.
Carlisle passed the evening with the gov
ernor. and it is thought will leave tomorrow
John Boyle O'Reilly and John Z. Fitzgerald,
prominent citizens of Boston, called upon
the President-elect today and had long con-
versation with him. Cleveland was in his
usual affisble mood. although complaining of
suffering from cold. The visit of these
gentlemen is reported to have been for the
purpose Of advocating the appointment of
Congressman Collins or some other Irich-
American for a cabinet position.
These gentlemen denied this, and said that
their object was solely to shake the hand of
Grover Cleveland, in whose election they
took prominent part in New England.
