HARRlSON'S ADVISERS.
Will the President-Elect Call
 Them to His Home?
WHO WILL SECURE THE PLUMsa

! Considering Propositions for the Forma- i ton of the Next Cabinet-AIr. Depew's
 Ad antageous Position-The Admission
 of Dakota Two States Agreed Upon. INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 19.-A special to The
 Chicago Tribune says: Gen. Harrison is de-
 batting whether he will go to New York next
 month or summon the eastern leaders to con-
 fer with him here. The situation here and Ill New \ ork Is identical, as in both Gen. Harrison has more friends than he may be able to satisfy, and he seeks concert of action
 on the part of those whose advice he will doubtless give weight He is credited with
 having solved the difficult problem by inti- mating desire to have his supporters agree
 on candidates for the important offices, and
 when they have done so those whom they put forward will probably receive the pIums
 Several conferences have been held this week.
 and the names suggested are under consider atiOn
 In New York the stakes are higher, but the party interests are the same, and Gen. Har- frlson Is not disposed to bestow patronage on any one Of the leaders who may thereby seek to ootaln supremacy. It Is not going to be a question with him whether Tom Platt,
 W arner Miller or Chauncey M. Depew shall be the controlling spirit in New York poli- tics, but if personal considerations cut more hgure with him than party success, it is probable he prefers the granger's friend" As everybody knows Warner Miller was for sherman, Tom Platt for Alger and Depew for himself, when the New York delegation arrived at Chicago while some of the New
 ork delegates Swerved off to Sherman 1latt and Depew went to Harrison All thlngS considered, Depew occupies a decidedly advantageous pOSitlon with Platt close by hlm. The special further says however, that Warner Miller, owing to his brilliant campaign in New York, will be counted in the triumvirate
 Admission of Dakota as two states is as Sured If Gen. Harrison's views are adhered to. Il. C. Mellette, the provisional governor of South Dakota, who called upon the presi- dent-elect yesterday, feels confident of this and says: 'While 1 didn't mention the Da- kota question to Gen. Harrison, because we know how he feels on the subject, and what hlS desires are. He drafted the original bill 10 admit Dakota as two states, and that is what we seek He is in accord with his party and will favor their admission The sentiment in favor of division is overwhelm- ing, and Dakota will be two states inside of two years"

 BUFFALO, Nov. 19.-Col. D. l.. Alexander said that the rumorS that the office of private to Gen. Harrison had been offered l1m Were erroneous The place had not been offered him, he did not expect an offer. and would not accept it if 1t was offered him. W hlle ln Indianapolis some members of Gen. darrlsons family spoke about such a possi- olllty, and he then said that he would not re- lnqulsh his law business for an office which Il tour years would leave him where he is LOW in his profession. He had told Mr Miller, the presidents law partner, the same hing, but he had had no conversation with ten. Harrison on the subject
