Quay, during the interview told Harrison that
Pennsylvania would like 10 De represented IN
the cabinet and that IL WAS generally Coucpdcd
that John Wanamaker would ben very aeHrpia-
hle man for the treasury portfolio, but il tho

Cheerfnily TO tho will Of tho President, rucdg-

thus details the conversation between the two
men, said that Wills there hnd been but little
talk about placing Wananilker ia the treasury,
that that position was the one which senator
Quay desired Iuost. Mr. quay mentioned
