TALK ABOUT THE LITTLE GENERAL AND
TIE CABINET
What a Prominent Republican Says Of
Hsrrison-The River and Ear
Dor Bill.
from Oar Regular correspOndonil


washington, December 2G "A very
promineutAiepublican who for obvious rea-
sons does not wish his name TO appear In
print, has been exerting himself among his
fellow-Republicsns who have been out to
Indianapolis to see Harrison TO find out
whether or not southern representative OF
the party win be asked 10 20 into the Cabi-
net, and what chance M8hOne has. This
gentleman said TO-DAY 10 the Dispatch cor
respondent: Malone Is the only man Ia
Virginia that could possibly he considered
in the matter Of going to that State for
Cabinet officer, but ne is so Objectionable, not
only 10 the better elements OF The south even
in his own party but TO the Republicans all
over the land, that | do not see bow Hlrrs-
son can afford TO have anything TO do with
him. Malone represents the very lowest
type OF politician That has yet been developed.
Harrison processes 10 be a clean, decent man
IN politics. Harrison was in this senate with
Msh0ne. and ! think he knows 4 good deaf
about hlm. They are totally different men,
and do not see how they can hsrmOnize.
And suppose Harrison were to feel COM
PEELED to select Maholo, where would he put
him? lie could not make him POstmaster>
General, and the general belief Is that Quay
has demanded that rlace for John Wanna
maker OF Philadelphia, and that be will get
It. AL tblsstslk about Wannamaker being
made Secretary Of the Interior is 'iuif in my
judgment. Itrequires alNsyer OF decided
ly judicial turn OF mind 70 make satisiacto'
~ head Of the Interior. II Malone were 10
get anything 1t would be Secretary OF The
Navy. That's the place Got OF West NW-
ginis wants. Malone. | am told, IS bent on
being Postmaster General. lie could work
fuf ~
hos his heart set on the position.
BRADLEY or KENTUCKY.
lam inclined TO think that Bradley Of
Kentucky Will be the southern Republican
IN Hsrnson's Cabinet II that section Is given
recognition st ali. IN that eyeat Bradley
would become Attorney,Grneral. When the
Cabinet appointments are announced on The
4th Of March I shall be surprised and disap-
pointed II nah0ne's name is on the list. II
would be- the most foolish thing that llarri-
son could do at the start.
PRESIDENTS CALLERS.
The President bad lot. OF callers at the
White House to-day. Senator Coke and
other members Of the Texas delegation had
in tow a large number oi Texans. who are
earnestly interested IN the question OF deep
water for the Texas coast, aud they went TO
the Executive mansion 10 impress upon Mir
Cleveland their views. There is fear that he
is going 10 veto the riyer-and-hlrbOr bill now
pending. The Texans want TO have COM
mission 0f army engineers appOinte 10 deter
mine WHIST point on the gull i. The be 81 FOR 0pe-
ratlons 10 secure deep water, and when that
fact is ascerianed they will try TO have
Congress vote literally appropriations
for the Improvements, ipstead Of pursuing
the Old plan oi scattering The money along
the different harbors. Quite natui-iy there
is some rivalry, and this Is why the COM
mission plan has been hut upoa 10 get al the
best methods and 10 locate the place. This
is a Neat question aud concerns other scc-
iious than Texas. Water transportation
furnishes competition. and thereby ,hcapens
the rates. md il Mr. tleyesnd VIII only drop
his New York speclaclcs and quit reading
The pepers % the metropoli, he gill be dis.
posed to allow the next bill TO become a
law.

building site, In many OF the cities Of The
United states. Money Is available ior a
number OF points, and Of course The irst
thing Is to select site. The supervising

DVfNlt iUutDlliNk- tNNN-t t-hNt Nittn VI Nit''
came in, and at first the runners wantedas
much a. $4,000, and finally the rivalry got
sd hot that site WAS actually given free of
charge In another place, whore there were
thiTtg-thrcc offers and prices g. high ~
sG0.0 .000 the owners dropped to 5000.
