are Going On &C Indianapolis.


Judge orsshsn vss In Indianapolis yssssr-
day, and that fact started The cabinet essap
sfresh. Judge D. p. baldwin, Who was . strons
Gresham man. ID quoted BY the Philadslphis
Press correspondent - follows: There b
hardly any doubt that John sherman win be
at the head OF the cabinet I think ths1 New
York ID sure TO be given representation Il. one
OF the more important positions. Probably
the Secretary Of the Treasury win Be chosen
from that state. The northwest win be r>ur~.
sented, and believe that Senator Allison Win
be chosen, for, aside from his friendly relations
with the President-elect, he comes from a sssss
where there would be no doubt about n repub-
lcan 70 succeed him In the Senate. I believe
he viii surely be one of the members OF o.
cabinet. California viii be represented snd
90 viii the south. II Nathan COT 10 not inau-
gurated governor Of West Virginia believe hs
will be made Secretary Of the Interior. I &c
that Redheld Proctor, Of Vermont, 10 bsinr
takes about for a cabinet position. There &
NOT more popular man in all New England
and q better selection could not be made'S
will Indiana be represented2"
II do not believe now that Indiana win be
taken into the cabinet. believe that in ap-
pointing Mr.. Halford his private secretary t6s
rrssdent-eiect recognized his obligations &c
MI. New, and settles the question - 10 the -
lection OF an Indiana man for q cabinet posi-.
ton IL be should appoint any republican II
the state John c. New would be the man. but 4
he intended 10 call Mr.. New into the cabins1
do not believe that he would have made Mr.
Halford his private secretary"
will there be any extraordinary reforms
under the new administration"
II think Gen. Harrison 10 q remarkably COO
and cautious man. He has never been know
TO say anything indiscreet In his politics
career he has made no mistakes. The southers
tYAvx - h. -. -. Al
come up. III the democrats 60 on counting out
republican congressman, they will control Con-
gress and there will be no southern question
III they pursue that course, however, the re.
publican majority in 1880 will be somethina
near fifty. Gen. Harrison's administrator
the President-elect himself. II viii be repub-
hcan."
SENATOR EDMuNps SUGGESTED.
The N. Y. Herald man says: There is erovins
sentiment here that Senator Edmunds win be
Secretary Of State. Notlong ago Gen. Harrison
received a warm and cordial personal Letter
from Senator Edmunds which clearly indi.
Gated that the two families are on very friendly
terms.
SENATOR sHERMAN's PLANS.
1t comes straight from Harrison's home thss
Sherman has been authoritatively informed
that he could have his selection Of the cabinet
Harrison at length, giving his reasons in Q d.
rect but courteous manner why he could not
accept. Sherman does not like Foraker and
he Is determined that he will never live 70 see
the ambitious governor occupying seat In the
United States Senate, and he thinkS he will be
in better position to do good fighting by keep
ing out Of the cabinet
WARNER MLLER's PutI.
''If Harrison has decided upon any member
OF his cabinet il is Warner Miller, of New
York, remarked q repu lican state officer this
afternoon; land, he continued, If there ID .
man in the United States that Harrison has .
strong personal attachment for il Is Miller. He
believes that Miller sacrificed his own success
for the presidential ticket, and that he can
never pay him enough for his generosity"
1t IL thought by many here that Harrison II
let alone will give Miller the Treasury DEPART
ment, but II is known that Plat and Depew are
fighting him, and then there ID q strong senti.
ment here which favors . western man for SEQ
rotary OF the Treasury. Plat IL said TO want
this plum.
Another man who is reasonably sure Of n
cabinet position is John F. Swift, OF California
II is almost certain that the Pacific coast d -
have something. Harrison feels kindly 70
Estee, but he Is handicapped by his railroad In.
terests and is not available. De Young 10 mixed
up in fractional quarrel, and Swift & said =
be acceptable 70 all creeds and factions. Cali.
fornia, il is said, has her heart set on giving
Harrison his Secretary of the Interior. but
there are good reasons to believe that she viii
not get the chance, a. nearly all Of her public
men are mixed up in corporations, and clean
untrammeled man is said 70 be what Harrison
is looking for. 1t is about as good o. known
that the cabinet maker has his Argus eve
steadily fixed in the direction Of Miller and
Swift
