HARRISON AND QUAY.
THE SENATOR EXPRESSING SATISFACTION
WITH HIS VISIT.

and Mrs Stephen b. EllSins and then OF MI anu
Mrs Levi r. Morton. Russell HARRISON IL was
said. had arranged the trip soon aiter reaching
New-York and many details of the ARRANGEMENTS
were added The whole thing was the pleasant
oircastle Of some incorrigiole New-lorK gossip
General Harrison said to-day, when asked about
the DISPATCH that there was no foundauon "haV
ever for the statements il contained
At have no plans whatever for an Eastern trip
ho continued This story is simply idle talk
When make any arrangements TO go East Shall
rive them out TO the press The absurd reports
Tron, evr-York are not worth a correspondents
time inquiring into"
II is extremely improbable that General Har-
rison will leave Indianapolis at all until the end OF
February In conversation not long ago, Whlie
arranging TO have the 10th Indiana volunteers
his old command go to Washington as guaru OIL
honor the General said that it would be 1mprac-
scoble for the veterans TO travel in the same tram
with himself as he expected to he IN washington
for several DAYS before the Inauguration lie has
engaged rooms at the Ebbitt House for his family
and will probably make his headquarters there
Mrs Harrison. however with Mrs Mckee, as was
announced yesterday, will go TO New-ior< on a
shopping visit about January 5. They will stay
only few DAYS, probably at a hotel. and this fact
may have been the basis for the elaborate dispatch
sent out last night from New-York.
Senator Ouav's visit and its results have been
the talk OF the politicians to-day Pracucaly,
only two persons here, both close trlends OF
Mr. Quay, had any conversation with him AFTER
he came away from General Ilarrison's house
Senator Quay, it is said on THEN authority, had
made up his mind before he saw the President
elect TO talk on no subject which the General
did not suggest When he was lying on his
he'd at the New Denison House in the after
noon. with ice on his temples, he rallied enough
from his splitting headache TO say that there
had been no talk about the next Secretary OF
State but that there had been good deal
Of conversation about the next Postmastcr-Gener-
al and the next Secretary of the Treasury.
There is a general impression here that Senator
Ouay is anxious TO see at the heads Of these two
DEPARTMENTS respectively, John Wanamaker and
Thomas C. Phtt. Another interesting thing
which Mr. Quay is credited with saying TO one
of the friends who saw him was this;
Il don't know how other people get along
with General Harrison, but can get along with
him all right
The chairman Of the National Committee also
expressed a high personal opinion of the Presi-
dcnt-elect and said that he was gratifed with
the result of his visit TO Indianapolis
General Harrison and be, Mr.. Quay told an
other friend had long conversation on the
Southern question: the policy OF the next Adj
ministration on that point being discussed IN
all its features
The Southern question is undoubtedly one OF
extreme interest Just to the President-elect
Ex-Congressman r B F. Pierce, who was instru-
mental in bringing the Birmingham delegation
here said today that no visit had been made
here of greater importance in the way OF shaping
the next Administrators policy than the one
from the business men of Northern Alabama 10
no delegation had General Harrison talked more
freely. or with more apparent satisfaction Inc
birmingham movement looks to Mr.. Pierce like
the beginning of a revolution in the South The
Alabama people he said, had absolutely no candl-
cate for any Cabinet or Federal office
One Southern candidate whose chances for q
Cabinet portfolio are being discussed a good deal
inst now is Colonel William o. Bradley, of Ken
lucky, Colonel William Cassius GoodIoe, who
has been here for two days. is thought to be doing
something for the man who came near defeating
Buckner in the Blue Grass State two years ago.
Colonel Goodloe says he is not himself candi-
date for a place in the Cabinet or for anything
else.
A rumor has been in circulation here to-day
that Ex-Governor Albert G. Porter, In a conf
Dental conversation with a friend, had said that
Senator Sherman would certainly be the Secretary
of State in General Harrson's Cabinet Mr.. Por-
ter has believed that Senator Sherman would be
in the Cabinet but that is all the foundation there
is for the report
A meeting Of the subcommittee appointed by
the Indiana Republican State Committee to ar
range for the accommodation of Indiana people
who want to go to Washington for the Inaugural
ton was held at the New Denison Hotel to-
night Chairman Huston on hand, but did
not talk politics The movement TO push him
for Cabinet place has apparently gone 70 pieces.
The State Committee will open Indiana head
quarters in Washington about March l.
Ex-President Hayes made call on General
Harrison to-day, before he went home TO Ere
mont. Ohio The visit made at The Generals
request and the cX-IrcSidcnt and the PRESIDENT
elect talked for an hour or longer.
General J Warren Keller, of Ohio, eX-Speaker
of the House OF Representatives, has been here
attending the meeting of the Loyal Legion. lie
