SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
An Interesting Interview with Nc
Kinley--Gov. Goff's View Of
the West Virginia Stu
alton,

| Hon. WIN. Mchluley mas oppoueuVS
but no enemies. He has an excep,
tionally pleasant manner, coupled
with personal dignity that gives nc
often Sc, as it never borders on haugh'
tiness. The major is only in his
forty-fourth year, yet has reached a
present national prominence, that
promises in the near future to crown
| him with its highest honor. His de-
votion to his invalid wife was COM
mented on by Scotch mechanic the
other day in glowing terms. The fact
is the major, to use base ball phraze,
is numbe one all-round man.
His name has latelys been often
mentioned for cabinet position,
and to learn how far his desires
agreed with these reports, your cor
respondent sought his room yesterday
through the aid of the elevator at the
Ebbitt house.
Thu principal Trainer of the Chi
cago platform was found leisurely
looking over a file of newspapers,
and it is one of his characteristics
that he never gets beyond moderate
haste. He said he had no desire,
whatever, to occupy a place in the
cabinet, as he had no inclination to
leave the house, and his tone of voice
left no room to doubt his sincerity.
He is satisfied there will be an extra
session of congress.
His prospects for being the next
speaker of the house he thought
are very favorable to him;
and his chances of success have
been much increased, it is gen.
orally believed here, by the Ohio dele
CATION declaring itself in his favor.
AS to cabinet building he considers it
all as mere surmise. In this connec-
ton Mr.. Harrison's retitence on this
matter has caused no adverse criti-
cism, but the rank and file of his party
deem his conduct as very commenda-
BILE, and it is now an open secret that
his conference with the leaders are to
their aid in surrounding himself with
advisers for the next four years that
will make his administration COM
plete success.
Ambitious newspaper men, usual
ly democratic, hint that Sena-
tor Sherman views Mr.. Nc
Kinley's prominence with distrust,
would like to pigeon-hole him in the
cabinet. If there is any want of har-
mony between the two great Buck
eyes they are oblivOus to it. Men, we
are told, are some times masters of
their fates, and Major Mckinley up
to the present time has held his well
in hand, as his political mistakes have
had no initial point; he has been con-
tent to receive his hOnors as they
were earned.
General Golf has just returned from
West Virginia, and was found on
sofa with a friend at the Ebbit. When
asked what hope Judge Fleming has
for ousting from the governors seat,
he said he would not use
the word "hope," for he had no
chance whatever to do So Morris,
republican, is cOntesting Yeater's seat
in the state senate, and he is satisfied
under the evidence the former is emit
tied to it,
His partner on the lounge told the
West Virginia looking out for his in
good men attending to that, and that
he would return in few days. He
said it was an erroneous idea that the
COHISSU COulu DS us pOSGu VI JlllS
session of the legislature, as it could
only sit forty-five days, while he had
thirty to make answer in, and forty
more to prepare his evidence, which
carry it beyond the 4th of March,
when the democratic governor, Will
son, will have to yield the chair to
him.
Is it probable the general will then
To-, tI,,v
and his gang to carry out their ras-
cally plans to unseat him.
The Union labor men in the as
sembly were elected by the demo-
Gratis, and the presumption is they
will vote with them, was his reply
to a question on this point. He agrees
with Major Mckinley that an extra
session Of congress will be required.
That there is we'll defined breach
between Senator Sherman and his
followers, and Governor Foraker and
his supporters is very evident. The
brilliant, but impulsive governor first
opened the crack at Chicago, when
he tried to lead some of Sherman's
southern delegates to believe that the
senator's prospects on Saturday be-
fore the nomination were valueless.
Last week he removed Gen. Gros-
venor, strong supporter of Mr.. Sher-
man, who had beea trustee of the
Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans
Home, at Xenia, since April. 1880, and
during three years of that time it's
president; and this was done, il is cur
rently believed, to show his dislike for
Mr.. Sherman.
