vice-President-Elect Morton and Mrs Morton
are now in Indianapolis. having left New York
Yesterday. Russell Harrison. the son Of the
President-elect. arrived in New York Yesterday
morning and registered at the Gilsey house.
During the day he is said TO have seen Stephen
B. EIkins, J. 8. Clarksen and W. W. Dudley. He
said there was no politics in his visit east, and
that he had no news 10 impart concerning
cabinet making or anything else Of interest to
the public. He is described Is stoutly built
man Of over thirty years, somewhat below the
medium height and Of pleasant address. Sena-
tor Quay has not yet started to visit Gen. Harri-
son. although the New York Times Indianapolis
special says: Col Jno. c. New has received q
telegram from Senator Quay saying that he
would not get here until tomorrow night.
There Is a suspicion in the minds of some that
Senator Quay does not want to be here in COM
pany with Mr.. Morton and will defer his visit
until next week; but this 10 only suspicion and
is not probable. Sherman stock is high here
at present. owing to the opinion that Quay
will do all in his power to make him Secretary
Of State. 1t is a curious fact that there is
much more anxiety to see Quay than there is
to see Morton. Quay is the real republican
hero and all the Indiana republican politi-
clans are ready to fall down and worship him.
ABOUT TIE CABINET.
The Herald says that it is the impress
sion here that General Harrison will know
pretty well who will constitute his cabi-
net by the time Messrs. Morton and Quay have
finished their stay here. Mr. Quay will no
doubt be listened to as to the southern patron
age, and Mr.. Morton's advice, 1t is thought,
will go for q good deal in shaping the New York
deals. but it is the almost universal opinion
among the close friends Of General Harrison
here that if Mr.. Morton comes here for the
purpose Of getting Plat into the cabinet he
might as well have remained at home. John
c. New is outspoken against Plat, and no man
will get very much recognition from Harrison
| If Mr.. New says he does not deserve 1t.
Upon this subject the Times man says that
Gen. Lew. Wallace's local paper, the Crawford
vile Journal, is out in an editorial in favor Of
putting him into the cabinet, and now it is IN
derstood that he is an open applicant Gen.
Wallace has q good many friends, and, having
had two foreign missions, he probably il not
willing to be placated with them. So Gen.
| Harrison thus has another complication added
| to the already complicated situation.

political contests Col. Samuel Merrill wants
to be postmaster. 1t is expected that all of

4. Holloway, the brother-in-law of the late
Senator Oliver P. Morton, and postmaster here
for twelve years, is striving to be public printer
with all his might. Col W. NJ. Meredith, of
Chicago, also wants to be public prii r. Gen.
