CABINET sPgcgI.ATIoSs.

Some Good Suggestions and Probabilities.
DIr. blaine May go Back to the Senate.
John wannamaker for Postmaster Gen.
erai.
CINCINNATI, O., Nov. O.-w. G. Mac
Bride, Washington correspondent of
the Enquirer (Dem.), telegraphs his pa-
per as follows:
The supreme point Of interest, now
that General Harrison is known to be
elected, hinges upon what may be the
policy OF his Administration aud to.
whose hands he will confde its execu-
tions.
1t is rather premature to speculate
upon the new cabinet.
However. there are local considera-
tions which invest the speculation as to
its cast with interest outside OF its per-
sonnel. New York will, without doubt,
be represented in it. 1t was the united
vote OF the New York delegation for Har-
rison's nomination, and likewise two
days before he attained 1t, which made
him commanding. Within the State two
names are suggested--the one of Thomas
G. Plat, the other of Warner Miller, the
Republican candidate for Governor.
Then again, Chauncey NJ. Depew is
available save in the sense that he would
hardly surrender his munitlcent income
rs the President OF great railroad for
the drudgery Of ill.paid official life. Mr..
Plat, OF the three, is more possible as a
Cabinet quantity because Warner Miller
might be more content to succeed Will
liam NJ. Evarts in the Senate OF the
United States.
II Mr.. Quay, who so magniGcently
managed the National canvass, is urgent
that the State OF Pennsylvania have
Cabinet representation it would be q re-
quest from potential quarter which
General Harrison might not care to over
look. Quay, for some cause, is not en-
rapport with the Camerons, and, while
he is not an open enemy, he feels
SOMEWHAT STRAINED
In the personal relations which have
heretofore subsisted. 1t is for such
reason, and likewise with the view to
have Pennsylvania installed in the Cab
met with representative outside OF the
political factions, which make 1t Just
possible that John WQnnamaker, the
colossal merchant OF Philadelphia, may
be member OF it. Wannamaker is q
shrewd business product OF Scotch Irish
ancestry, with fortune to maintain the
social features OF a President without
ample resources OF his own.
Between Quay and Wannamaker there
Is close bond OF friendship. In the
campaign Just ended Mr.. Wannamaker
raised for the National Republican Com
mittee more than one.third OF the en-
tire amount necessary to lubricate its
expenses, and these were by no means
inconsiderable. His assignment would
be Postmaster General.
When l saw in New York Mr.. Walker
Blaine, II was rather impressed upon my
mind, not because Of anything he said
directly, but rather from the point Of
indirection, that his father had no desire
to be in a Cabinet position. This was,
OF course, before the election. How
ever, TO preserve intact the unity Of the
party, am OF the opinion that Mr.,
Blaine will seek further political honors
in the Senate, and that Senator Frye Is
a probability as Secretary OF the Navy.
Mr.. Blaine, it is known, is making
preparationstO live in Washington this
winter, but his plans had been arranged
before General Harrison's election, and
in any event he So contemplated. Az
