thing, 80 nhan return to my old office.
think my ohief, Mr.. Reed, tho United
Staten district attorney, will return to
private practice, too. I'm pretty sure he
will.n
Collector John oadwaladsr said that he
would send in his resignation as soon as
Ten. Harrison was inaugurated and he
thought that the other heads Of depart
menta In the city would do ths same. He
was quite willing TO return to his own
private business. He spoke enthusiastic
naily of the civil services reform praotioed
BY tho present administration.
The reform,n he said, thss'be en-.
forced during the administration beyond
belief. No appointment has been made in
this service when any cause existed for
NOT making II. defy anyone to provo
the contrary. An matter of fact the
civil service was in sdeh q degraded con-
dliion when this administration came into
power that II was difficult thing 20 be-
gin reforming ii. Every consideration was
shown TO incumbents and many grave
errors on their pn,t were overlooked.
President Cleveland enforced the most
stringent regulations and limited patron.
age to the nerrowest possible bounds,
narrower than hays existed under any
other President.
III Bafrisun's administration is com.
posed of men Of character and principle
don't SEQ any ground for removals, not
only 10 my office but in any other in the
city. No bad appointments hRve been
made. The incoming administration will
not be embarrassed by the retention Of
any officers not wanted / think the
resignation OF heads of departments will
be placed 10 the bands OF the nsw Psesi.
dent soon after his inauguration, Ger.
tainiy so in my case. Whenever my ser.
Woes are wanted they will have to be re.
quested."
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. I1.--Speaking Of
cabinet probabilities to-day, close friend
Of General Harrison said; "l'here il
mush speculation on the subject of th,
cabinet, aud some OF it the widest that
ever heard, II is folly TO mention buel
men as Sherman and Alger in the aannt
cabinet. Harrison could not afford to takt
either of these men in, unless he wantet
10 invite the opposition Of the other
and the defeat OF Warner Miller in New
| York in almost az certain to shat him out
Ny opinion, based on long Acquaintance,
with Harrison, is that no will select
cabinet, with one or two exceptions, o
young men who have shown their ability
and that the cabinet will come from To
two sections, with preponderance 0
eastern intellect.
II believe that Blaine will be SecFetar
of5tate; Estee, of California, Secretary c
the Interior; Mckinley, of Ohio, Sscre
tary at War; John @. New, of this city
Secretary Of the Treasury; Quay, Posi
master General; EdmInds, Attorne
General, and Henderson, of Missour
Secretary of the Navy, Now wants to q
to England, bnt there 10 q feeling that t.
English mission fiemanda the talents {
the best legal mind, and there ia MOI
probability of Blaine for That position.
he woald accept it, thaa New. happe
TO Anow that Harrison would pref
Biaine for that position, but hs viii ba'
10 give Blaine first choice of places, az
the Maine statesman will hardly cho0
10 60 abroad. I regard IL as one Of Il
most unfortunate things attending u
new administration thnt Blaine must ha
the pick o. the cabinet places."

TRENTON, Nov. 11.--No man in Ne
Jersey was more disappointed in the I

IDENTIFY counted on the Legislature as r

, attributes the loss OF the state to Harris,
TO the fact that the Democrats made {
. educational campaign with money al
oanyassed the eastern portions OF 81
state with far more eRrnestness and tho
oughneBs than did the Republican,
Mr.. Phelps friends say that he woul
accept the position of Secretary of Stat
which ia the place in the Cabinet Of Ge
ersl Harrison most conRenial to his tas
and attainments. Mr.. Phelps name Ii
already been fayorably presented to Il
Jersey for Secretary Of State, aud it
given out that the stateeman from Ne
Jersey, who still wears bang, would
once inaugurate campaign for eduea
ing the masses to vote tue Republics
