JOHN G. HUSTON AND HIS INDIs-
GREET SAYINGS.
MAKING UP THE CABINET.

l
ON It's Probable Composition-A Re-
port that Senator Sherman Will
Be rendered the secretaIyship
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Tribune spe-
cial from Indianapolis says it is almost
that John G. Huston, who man
aged the campaign, will not be in the
unless he modiies his views on
the attitude of SOM of the Republican
in the east. Mr.. Huston is a
banker and a gentleman who displayed
sagacity as a politician, but he has given
it as his opinion that AT least one of the
managers of the national campaign
aimed to elect Harrison without the as
sistance of Indiana. This has aroused
criticism of his judgment, and if he
thinks Quay did not bestow enough at
tention on Indiana he may yet incur
eensure from M unexpected quarter.
Mr.. Huston seems satisfied that a
deliberate effort was made to carry
New York, regardless of whether Gen.
Harrison lost Indiana, and it will surprise
those who are credited with managing
the contest to learn that he said Sunday
in response to a question rs to
whether the president-eleet had been ap-
prehensive of the result: Gen, Harrison
had the greatest faith in the intelligence
of the American people. His speech
strongly indicates that he may not have
felt at ease about Indiana. 1t is folly to
deny that q majority of voters in this
state are Democrats. The state will not
be sefely Republican until there are
more churches and school houses within
tic l,arj - 10 NJ, va .,n N ID M -, ll;a, 49, -
the east who would have been well
Harrison without the vote of
his cwn state, and Gen. Har-
rison would rather have been
defeated than elected without the
vote of Indiana. ] called the leading
Republicans of the different districts to
this city and explained the situation, and
how Gen. Harrison felt. These, men re-
turned home and went to work with the
determination to win. They passed the
word all along the line and Republicans
were aroused to action
The special further says:
AS a delegation representing the Gar
field club of New York city arrived here
in time to be informed of Mr.. Huston's
views, there is considerable syonder why
such reference should be INDUCED, espe-
cially from a prospective cabinet officer,
and as Mr.. Huston has been associated
with Gen. Harrison his statements are
characterized rs being rather reckless.
1t is evident he has allowed Matt Quay's
famous Injunction to Governor Beaver,
don't TALK to pass unheeded.
Who will Succeed the Genial Daniel.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia. There is a
great deal of gossip in Washington as to
the probable successor of Col. Lamont as
the private secretary to the president,
and the medium through which he is
reached. There is a natural curiosity as
to whom the public will have to apply
on executive business after the 18th of
March next. 1t has been stated that ex-
Fifth Auditor Alexander, who is an init
mate friend of Gen. Harrison, would be
the %appointee. This announcement is at
best premature, and Col. Alexander,
since it was made, has been quoted as
saying he does not expect or want the
place. From the best information OBJ
itainable in Washington at this time, it
would appear that the gentleman most
likely to be selected is Mr.. Perry S.
Heath, the special correspondent of the
indianapolis Journa1s who Is also q warm
personal friend of Gen. Harrison. The
name of Russell Harrison, son of Presi-
dent-elect Harrison, has been mentioned.
but there are believed to be reasons why
the general would prefer aot to have his
con for the position.
Patrick Egan.
LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 12.-It was ru.
mored here Sunday that Hon. Patrick
Egan of this city, had been rendered q
ksgh position by P~resident-elect Harri-
scr, and it was stated in some quarters
that the official position spoken of was
not unlikely to be the tender of q cabi-
net portfolio. In an interview with a
representative of the United Press, Mr..
Egan stated there was no truth in the
rnmor of his being rendered a public of
flee by Gen. Harrison, and that. the re.
port WAS absurd, no such arrangement ever
having been limited at by the president
elect. The opinion here among Mr..
Egan's neighbors is hat If rendered an
office he would not accept.
Harrisop's Cabinet.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 12.-Senator Sher
man, his Ohio friends who have been
here say, will be rendered the secretary
ship of s. ate, and they seem SO confident
that he@will leave the senate that candi-
dates for his seat are already in the field.
Mr.. Clarkson is also sure of a portfolio
if he will take it, and the Pacific coast
may get M. NJ. Estee as secretary of the
Interior department., which they claim
is due them. Then New England would
be honored with the naval department.,
and ex-senator Miller, T. C. Platt, or
some New Yorker has been mentioned
for the treasury department.. This
would leave Gen. Alger or some other
soldier for the war department.
Something Else to Do.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 12.-Russeu Har-
rison says his father has made no plans
to go away for a rest, andi is under
understood that DIR. Nixon has invited
the president-elect to join him in a hunt
ing trip in Northern Wisconsin or
Michigan. But Gen. Harrison is going
to have something else to do besides
hunting.
Senator Evart's Theory.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Senator Ey-
arts attributes the defeat Of the Demo.
cratic party to the tariff issue. He blames
tie president for forcing that issue upon
his party without first consulting the
senator, he says, so far as he can ascer
tain, knew of the presidents tariff mes
sage until it was presented to congress.
To Admit Dakota.
WASHINGTON, Nov. IA prominent
Republican member of the house ex-
pressed the opinion that an extra session
of congress would be called by President
Harrison for the DurpoSe of admitting
