| ment was made to-day:
''Ohio is not to have place in the
cabinet" And it came straight as a
string, too. 1t is not mere political
clap-trap of Indianapolis gossip; it is
the exact echo of President-elect Har-
rison's own thought and determination,
if any exact echo can be had of him at
all.
''Ohio is not to have cabinet posi-
ton. If the cabinet were made to-mOr-
row Ohio would not be represented, and
if anything occurs hereafter to change
that decision it will not be John Sher-
man nor Foraker who will be chosen"
mckinley, them"
"Yes."
"Why do you say that Ohio will have
no place."
because that is what Gen. Harri-
son says. The reasons why l believe it
are many. First, while it is perfectly
true that Gen. Harrison is to be presi-
dent himself and not mariOnette in
the hands of Mr.. Blaine as was the cry
soon after the nomination, still Gen.
Harrison dare not and will not affront
Blaine and the Blaine people by APP
pointing John Sherman any more than
he will ALLEVIATE John Sherman'S friends
by finding chief adviser in the person
of Mr.. Blaine. The fact is that Ohio is
on the verge of big fractional war,
and it is along the lines, of course, OF
the Blaine-Sherman rivalry.
"AIl the talk of Gen. Harrison'S Slob-
bering over Foraker | take no stock in.

will go to Mckinley. He comes nearer
than any one else to being free from the
encumbrances of faction, but he will
not be so long. The cloud
in Ohio is growing thicker
every day. Mckinley, the truth is,
is long-SufferiDg and slow to wrath;
but men who know Ohio politics know
he has been quiet about long enough.
They know, too. that Foraker is gain
ing in unpopularity very rapidly. To
choose from men thus arrayed against
each other, and ready to fight at the
word go, would be dangerous risk for
Gen. Harrison, whose policy of admin
iStration, as traced i'll his private talk
and the utteranceS of men and news
papers who voice his beliefs, is summed
up in the word unity. He wants the
South and the North one. That is his

compulsion than the statement itself
would suggest. He wants labor and
capital one, and back of all that he
wants the Republican party one. SO
far as is consistent with the efficiency
of his cabinet, he will choose it as he
will do everything else, with a view to
healing the Republican factional sores
in every state"
THAT Is WHY HE IS COMING EAST.
All this is in direct accord with the
events of the past few days here, and
what is generally believed to be the
motive and purpose of Gen. Harrison's
trip East. The horizon of Indiana p0lit-
icai prophets is narrow, very marrow.
1t does not reach further than the
boundaries OF the state, and it would be
entirely in line with the notion of In
dianapolis people to wake up some
morning in the spring and find the
whole cabinet taken from among the
man IN the cabinet, but if Gen. Har-
rison sits apart and thinks in the high
and lofty way attributed to him to
choose from the hungry men VINO
stopped snarling at each other long
enough to carry the state for him, he
will realize a difficulty very soon.
Since election there has been simmer
ing sort of jealousy in the air, but
Chairman Huston put the brand under
it when, in an interview the other day,
he explained how neither John G. New
nor l.. w. Kitchener nor Gen. Lew Wal
lace cared for cabinet position or was
apt to get it if he did.
THEY ARE ALL MAD AT HUSTON.
He explained them all away, but with
suggestive diffidence omitted all mention
of himself. His name was conspicuous
for its absence, and the rest are so mad
that they can't help. showing it; but
they laugh. To-day, in the corridors of
the Dennison, 1 mentioned the inter-
view to Attorney General Kitchener.
He bristled, but smiled.
"You have heard" he said, "abOut
things being done with a royal wave of
the hand, and also with wave of the
royal hand. Now, which was the busi-
ness in that interview done WITH"
In Indiana politics there are as many
feuds as there are men, and they cross
each other in tangled lines. The enc
mics of John G. New say that he
couldn't have cabinet position, and
that,fOr good many reasons Harrison
wouldn't dare give him one. He is too
well hated in his own state. He is no
body's friend, not even HarriSOn's, and
Harrison would gladly be rid of his
debt to New. Every one in Indiana
except the smallest child remembers
when New was the bitterest critic Har-
rison had. They were bitter foes. New
knows he is cordially disliked, and
since the election keeps away from
Harrison. They say he wants to make
Harrison come to him with offers, make
him feel his obligations.
THEN THERE MAY BE WAR.
