HARRISON FISHES, TOO.
Aud He Has the Regulation Presidential
Lucls--Cabinet Talk.

Luck-Cabinet Talk.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov 26.-The philosopher
who declared that it is better to know few
things than to know good many that are
rot so must have been a Hooser from In
dianapolis who had been watching the move
ments of the cabinet makers for a month
past 1t is simply true that no place in Gen.
Harrison's official family has been offered to
ANYBODY, and of course nobody has accepted
a place. But is also true that the president
elect has not yet given the matter minute
consideration. About January, or possibly
not till February, may he be expected to go
about the business in earnest, but those who
have known the man from boy say he win
make no mistake.
Other affairs engage his attention now.
Letters numbering 800 come in days mail
sometimes, aud even with the aid of Private
Secretary Halford and half a dozen type
writers they keep the general busy.
Mr.. Miller, lately the law partner OF the
president-elect, says Gen. Harrison took adj
vantage of one of the most beautiful of the
November days to go fishing Saturday. The
old gentleman, Mckee, father-in-law Of the
generals daughter, drove him to Armstrong;
mills, on the White river, three miles out of
town, where he met some of his friends in the
neighborhood and had the luck to land
dozen big black bass.
Some have tried to make out that there is
a rough and tumble hurry burly for minute
at Gen. Harrisons ear for the advancement
of the Office seekers cause There is nothing
of the sort. Everybody who comes here, no
matter for what purpose, if it is decent has
q hearing, but he gets no promise. That is
why the wisest are so far at sea about the
cabinet Gen. Harrison made no promise to
get his nomination and none to get his
election. He was elected without the aid of
Office holders or the office seekers, and when
he selects his cabinet it will be selected for
good he will not have to put his arm
around anybody's neck and tell him he meant
to give him this or that, but is in a hole AMI
can't do it,
That according to those who have win
tered and sunmered him, is not the way
Ben Harrison has Caution and firnness are
two qualities with which everybody credits
him So the cabinet, when it is selected,
will not only be selected for good, but it win
Be well selected If Blaine and Allison have
been settled upon in the popular mind as
likely to be offered places and as likely to re-
fuse them that is simply because the guess
ing is appropriate and il John Wanamaker
is set down by some for q portfolio that is
simply because no one would question the
appropriateness of that selection. 1t is the
same way with Lew Wallace. Nothing is
done or sure to be done Watch for cabinet
news in January. Don't be disappointed if
il doesn't come till February.
AS for New York and Ohio, it may be
that the two states VIII not want cabinet
officers enough to get them by standing all
together for them Il may be mentioned,
too, that Gen. Harrison has no definite plans
for trip to the metropolis; that Mrs. Hars
rison, much as il hothers her, does not know
certainly when air. and Mrs Morton win
visit her, or that they win come at all
six Pounds Of Dynamite Explode.
