Cabinet making continues to Ice the
most popular industry at the Capital, but
it is very safe to say that up TO the pres
ent time General Harrison has not finally
decided upon even Single name for
stated position. If you care to know who
are mentioned here a. probable members
of the cabinet. you have only To make
list of every prominent republican in the
coun:ry-thcy are all mentioned. At the
