HARRISON GOES HUNTING
And the Popu1ace Goes Hunt
 ing for Harrison.
HIS PARTNER VISITS NEW YORK

The Cabinet Guessers Are Busy as
 Ever-Talk About Allison and Clarkson.
 The Former Denies the Statement That
 He Has Been Chosen.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 5.-Gen. Harrison has gone quail hunting to-day to escape the horrors of house cleaning, which has begun in his home. He stole away quietly, and everybody is trying to locate him. Those who are most anxious the rustics who voted for his grandfather, and who want, as some of his visitors tell him almost every day he lives, Ito shake hands with Q real, live president" Harrison has not ceased to be curiosity in Indiana.
 The party consists of Gen. Harrison, Walter Bradshaw, R. B. F. Pierce and J. R. Mckee. They started about noon, and after leaving the railroad will have drive of several miles They propose spending the night at a place where accommodations have been en- gagged, and will spend tomorrow banging away at the birds, and on Friday will come back to grapple with state problems.
 The Blaine question, the gossips say, claiming to get the point from those within the charmed circle of Harrison's confidants, is the biggest thing on the horizon. In Gen. Harrisons letters during the past few days there has been hard scrabble of the pros and cons on the question of Blaine's dues His friends had been punching their influ- ence in his behalf and belaboring the presi- dent-elect with admonitions to make him secretary of state, but the counter current has set in. The anti-Blaine elements have got wind of the doings, and the president elect, it $ said, has been struggling with an embarrassing dilemma for some days, ! WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-When Senator AL lison was queried concerning a special tele- gram from Lima, O., in which Railroad | Commissioner Campbell, of Iowa, was quoted as stating that the senator had been offered the secretaryship of the treasury by Presi- dent-elect Harrison, he said: II don't be- lieve that MT. Campbell made the statement credited to him. for I have not seen him since the election, and he does not know that I have been rendered the position referred to
 because it has not been offered to me. know nothing more about my going into 1 President Harrisons cabinet than the public i lnows"
 The impression is gaining ground in Wash ington very rapidly that Senator Allison
 will be the next secretary of the treasury
 notwithstanding he refuses to stand under
 the statement that he is to be in charge of
 that portfolio. Another cabinet possibility
 John c. New, of Indianapolis, arrived here
 yesterday afternoon from New York, and
 spent some time at the Capitol He was
 everywhere greeted cordially. It is believed
 that he will be invited to place in the oabi-
 net surely, if Indiana is given cabinet posi-
 tion.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 5-The arrival in town
 yesterday of John B. Elam, Gen. Harrison's
 law partner, set all the big politicians around
 the hotels a guessing. Mr. Elam's visit was
 unheralded, but a stream of people found
 their way to his apartments in the Gisey.
 It was accepted that Mir. Elam came as the
 representative of the president-elect with a
 political mission to the Big Four It was
 also stated that he came with a special invi-
 tation from Gen. Harrison to the Hon. Levi
 P. Morton to visit Indianapolis.
 MT. Elam viewed the situation as filtered through the reports given to him concerning the claims of the Big Four for representa-
 tion in the cabinet. Late in the day he called on MT. Morton, and in the evening Mr. Mor-
 ton returned the call.
 Mr. Elam heard a good deal about the
 claims of MT. Platt for the treasury port , folio
 Before MT. Elam returns, it was announced , he will confer personally with Mir. Depew
 Mir, Platt, Mr. Miller and other big Republi- cans in the state.
 , DIES MONIES, Ia., Dec 5-The Des Moines , Leader says that there are good reasons fo1 , believing that MT. J. O. Garrison has ac
 cepted place in Mr. Harrison's cabinet. 4 personal friend of his has recently asserted , that such was the case, and intimate asso , ciates of the family are whispering around I that the Clarkson family are preparing tc , make their home in Washington. Further evidence of a confrmatory character is no f lacking.
 , A reorganization of the editorial staff o1 ! Clarksons newspaper is now under way, tht
 position of managing editor having been ten a dered to prominent Iowa journalist within the last ten days. The place rendered is un derstood to be the portfolio of the interior
 This will enable MT. Clarkson to appoin :, Gen. Futile or Col. Fairchild commissions 7 of pensions, and furnish wider field thai could be found elsewhere for the reward O F his personal and party friends
