QUAY'S CALL TO INDIANAPOLIS.
What Il May Mean Other Gossip Re-
garding Cabinet Possibilities.

The call Ex-senator Quay to Indianapolis has set
some of the statesmen at the capitol a fidgetine
in their chairs In expectation of similar invita-
ton. Mr.. Quay leaves for Indianapolis TONIGHT
probably, and does not expect any senatorial
company on the journey. 1t was expected tina,
the chairman Of the national committee would
be called into consultation with Mr.. Harrison
before the cabinet-list had been filed out
and his going now is regarded as an
indication that the work of cabinet-makinR il
now going on actively. The relations between
s Mr harrison son and Mr. Quay are such as have
Operations without their ne having Ss%P sSsp
met. They will now make eAch other,
acquaintance. It is not regarded a. probables
therefore, that Mr.. Harrison contemplates
going over his cabinet slate with the Penn
regards Pennsylvania the Senator will
undoubtedly be consulted. As manager of the
campaign, Senator Quay was brought in con-
tact with men from all parts Of the country, and
Is custodian Of the secret a. to whom
MIR. Harrison is most under obligations for
services during the campaign. MI. QUAY is
best qualified to speak upon the question Of
party obligations to Individuals and TO
point out such as demand recognition. Many
claims are made upon the President
elect In the interest Of certain parties, and Mr..
quay may be able to give him some informa-
ton as to how well these claims are founded.
The secrets Of the canvass are in his keeping.
The one man whom it is known Mr.. Quay
wants to see in the cabinet Is John Wanama-
ker, OF Philadelphia. If his word has weight,
Wanamaker will probably be one of the hon
also, Cprobably by the recent visit of Mr.. Plat
to Washington,) that Mr.. Quay has been asked
to whisper q word as mediator between the
New York warning politicians and Mr..
Harrison.
WE'VE vopv,s 1rv., ,,.ncn,
There seems to be . general inclination at
the capitol to believe the report that Mr.. Har-
rison has selected Senator Allison for Sec
rotary of the Treasury, and upon
this impression the conviction obtains among
some Of the New Workers that both Plat and
Miller will be offered cabinet positions, neither
getting the Treasury department. This may
have no foundation beyond their desire that
amicable arrangement. It is felt to be impos-
sible for Mr.. Harrison to select either in pref
erence to the other without causing much re-
sentiment among the friends of the one appear
ing to be sighted.
THE BLAINE QUESTION
is still exciting the party in both wings Of
Congress. There are as many opinions that Mr..
Blaine will as there are he will not be offered
the Secretaryship Of State. There is no doubt
that his friends do not intend that he shall be
ignored or in anyway sighted, and his enemies
on the other hand, are urging that party
harmony will not be promoted by his selection.
In the midst OF the controversy it must
be confessed that those who aretalking on the
MIR. Harrison thinks Of it. Some OF Mr.. Blaine's
friends do not hesitate to intimate that their
resentment of a slight to their leader twill be
active"
