WASHINGTON, II. 4, feOru1rI 10 Hc
Washington Post continues 10 0oom'Aaboue
for a Cabinet position, but prominent Re-
publicsns WHO think they know thing or
two say Msbone hasn't a ghost Of a chance
~ getting into Harfis0u's Cabinet. Some OF
the closest political friends oi the President
elect declare that General Harrison and
those who Will be the head men in his Ads
minislrallon do not want any man from The
south of Alahoue's ik. They know him,
snd they a-O know that the appointment
~ schemer Ike Malone would
not only be bad for the SOuth IN commcr-
clal sense hut It would recoil upon the Re-
publican party. TIE South Is making rapid
strides IN an industrial sense. The trade oi
that section Is worth millions TO the manu-
iacturinQ centres IN the northern and
western S,ales. TIE negro question Il

all IN his power 10 prevent Malone
from having any pull with the next Ad-
miui,iration. aud there Is scarcely a man
here of any prominence who believes for a
moment That The little Virginia RENEGADE has
ever been seriously considered even for q
place M llarrl~Dn's Cabinet.
There Is a good deal OF gossip here AZ pres
eut to the effect that Blaine - going 10 show
