Of opinion as to the advisability of such
an appointment, but on the whole the

places nothing new has developed :, and
while It can be traced to one certain
source all agree in the opinion
that Rusk viii be the next
secretary of war. There was a
rumor this evening that word had been
received from Mr.. Blaine that he would
accept the state department, but it could
not be verified. On the strength of the
rumer there was considerable discussion
as TO who would get that place, and it is
the general belief that should he finally
decline Evarts would be the choice of
Gen. Harrison. The Associated Press
correspondent endeavored TO find some
friend of the general who had heard him
give any expression on the subject, but
all efforts were barren of result.

Gratis or Republicans, but the former
elected him president of the state senate.
He has q few followers in the house who
will come out for him if he can
secure forty-three other votes. Should
