The Latest Bit OF Gossip Concern
ing the Makeup OF Harrison's
Cabinet.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. IA. -
Prophets and statesmen abound in pro-
fusion these days about the corridors of
Indianapolis hotels. Cabinets are being
made and unmade with French rapidity.
This evenings News says: The latest
bit of cabinet gossip connects Senator
Sabin, of Minnesota, with the admins
tration. 1t is reported that he has de-
clined to be a candidate for reelection
to the senate, after having prepared the
way for his return. Even as late
as a week ago. it is said
he was looking after Mime
sofa LEGISLATORS whose votes he might
desire, and he had succeeded in getting
pledges from more than hall of them.
The only explanation for this change Of
mind is that he has been given ali inti-
nation that there is higher position
awaiting him and thatit would be just as
well 10 let some other worthy man go to
the senate. 1t is given out that he will be
in indianapolis in few days and that
he does not come without assurance
that his presence is desired. 1t is eX-
pected that some extraordinary things
will be done by the president, but
probably the greatest move that he is
likely to make will be an endeavor to
bring about a marked change in the re-
lationS between
TIE NORTH AND SOUTH.
Next to his Endorsement OF the pro-
tective doctrine, there is nothing that
Gen. Harrison has advocated with more
emphasis than free ballot and fair
count, and in his public speeches, for
the last several years. he is pledged to
do everything possible to reform South
ern elections. He will endeayor to do
it in a kindly and friendly way, but he
will do it if the exercise Of the chief
magistrates power for four years can
be made to accomplish anything
in five years" Col. John A.
Bridgeland. of Richmond, Ind,
one of Gen. Harrison's oldest
friends, in an interview to-day
touching cabinet possibilities, says:
"There is no doubt i'll my mind but
that President Harrison's cabinet will
be composed of great men, who will be III
full harmony with his views. Gen.Har-
rson is man who will have his own way
and tolerate no contentious; it is neceS-
Sary that they should fully in harmony
with him. | believe that John Sher-
man entertains views that are nhar-
mony with those of Gen. Harrison, and
l believe he will be
A MEMBER OF THE CABINET.
"Mr. Frye, of Maine, would make a
very good secretary Of the navy. He
comes from a state that builds more
ships than any other state in the Union.
He is familiar with naval affairs, and as
amember of the fisheries commission
lie acquired much information that
would be very valuable to the admins
tration.'
''If he should be made a member of
the cabinet it would also open the way
for Mir. Blaine to bebome a senator
again."
'Blaine will probably be sent abroad.
He has spent some time in Europe and
his family are we'll pleased with life
over there. He would probably be we'll
pleased to go to Berlin or Paris as the
representative of the United States"
''Do you believe that Indiana will be
represented in the cabinet?'
'CertainIy."
''By whom?"
"Ab. that is another question. [ do
not believe that you expect an answer" :"
Information comes from Evansville

the Republican candidate for congress
in that (FirsD district, will contest the
election of Judge Parrott, the Demo
cratic candidate, who has plurality of
only tWenty-siX votes. PoSey claims

Gated.
