Tho fact that MIR. Langston should have men
toned Governor Foraker and Senator Evarts is
taken here as hint OF some significance. IL IS

No,,.yorl, There is little talk here now of any

Cor,o interesting details OF the visit yesterday
81 ,ho two St. Louis politicians, Congressman
1oo, = G Nicdringhaus and j. w. Gates, have
oo,,o "a light since their departure. Mr.. Gates
,os bcre in November on a political mission. and
to tbcn Suggested to General HARRISON the names
81 half n dozen men in Missouri who, in las
o,;rion would make acceptable Cabinet officers.
,Tbr,o names were given in yesterdays dispatches,
Colonel Charles Parsons, the st. Louis banker,
tor Secretary Of the Treasury; Chauncey l.
Eiuo, for Postmaster General, and Ex-Governor
T 4 Stannard, for Secretary of the Interior
Two other candidates who were also put in the
cola last winter were brought into the discussion
yesterday. not very seriously, perhaps. They
wore Colonel r. c.. Kcrens. the vice-presdent
of the St Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railroad.

since the war. Last fall he managed the brill
iant canvass Of Congressman-eect Kinsey, Of
the Xth Missouri District He is suggested as
q candidate for the Interior Department. He is
a warm personal friend of Senator Quay, and
is said to have the backing of the
chairman Of the National Committee for that
Department Colonel r. c. Kerens is put for
werd as a representative of Irish American Repub-
Hcaps The portfolio be would like to have
is that of the War Department Ex-senator
Henderson was not talked of great deal by
the two St. Louis men He they think has
little chance for place.
We gave General Harrison his choice" said
Mr. NiedTinghaus before starting home ANY
one of these candidates would be satisfactory
choice 1 think L can say that Missouri will
have one portfolio General Harrison practically
assured Us OF that
Mr.. Gates, who has a wide knowledge of
politics, and who has had at least two long and
confidential interviews with the PreSident-clect,
is confident that the choice for the Treasury
hes between Colonel Parsons and Colonel John
c. New The chances. Of course, were slightly
in Colonel News favor think il is safe TO
saw he remarked after the last talk he had
with General Harrison over, that the
Prcsident-elect viii take Western man, and
that man viii he one Of the two mentioned.
We talked the Treasury question ali over from
beginning 10 end, and l do not know of any
body else who seems to have much of chance
with the General You may rest assured that
he Will not spring on the country some man
who has not yet been talked about
al am also convinced that if Colonel Parsons is
not chosen, Chauncey l. Filley is almost certain
TO be in the Cabinet lie could be made either
Postmaster-General or Secretary of the Interior.
We feel, Of coursc, that Missouri VIII have to
wait until the rest of the Cabinet is pretty well
made up before she can expect anything. We are
willing 10 accept the department that can be most
conveniently given. That is the reason we have
named so many candidates.
From what the two St Louis men picked up
at General Harrison's they made up tins as the
most probabh Cabinet slate: Secretary of State,
Mr. Blaine; Secretary of the Treasury, Col
onel John c. New: Secretary of War, Ex-Governor
Rusk: Poslmaster-General, Chauncey l. Filley;
Attorney General, William VI. Evarts; Secretary
OF the Navy, John Wanamal;er; Secretary of the
Interior, NJ. NJ Estec: Secretary of Agriculture,
Warner Miller.
Colonel John C. New, who has been in New
York for a week, got back at noon to-day. He

he declines TO say anything whatever OF his visit
and its results.
A distinguished caller to-day on General Harri-
son was CasSius NJ. Clay, of kentucky. Ills
visit was non-political. Mr.. Clay retired from
politics about two years ago, and has nothing to
ask now for himself or his friends. lie Is the
