VERMONT VETERANS.
Col. Tracy Of MiddlebOrO the New
Commander.

BRATTLEBoRo, VT, Feb. 16-The annual
encampment of the Grand Army Of YER
mont closed its session yesterday. electing
as commander A. s. Tracy of Middlebury,
over Comrade D. s. Morgan, by twenty-one
majority; senior vice commander, D. j. SAT-
ford of Morrisville; junior vice, H. w.
Hutchinson of Bellows Falls; medical direc-
tor, DR.. B. F. Ketchum of Brattleboro;
chaplain, James Vaughn of Rutland.
Col. Tracy, the new department COM
mander, has a long and honorable war record.
He served throughout the war, and was
twice wounded. He rose by successive pro-
motions for gallantry on the field of battle to
be colonel of the Second Vermont regiment.
He is one of the trustees Of the Vermont SOL
diers' home, and has been active in Grand
Army circles for many years. 1t has been
the rule in the department of Vermont to
hold the annual encampment at the home OF
the department commander but this year the
delegates at the Brattleboro encampment
took a new departure and voted to hold the
next encampment in Rutland. The national
delegates chosen favor the election Of Col.
w. g. Veazey of Rutland for commander
in-chief in 1889.

HARRISON'S CABINET.
THE PRESIDENT-ELECT'S SLATE
PRACTICALLY COMPLETED.

No Conditions Attached to the Offer OF
the State Portfolio to Mr.. Blaine
Music in Store for Gen. Harrison.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1S.-Barring possible
ieclinations on the part of some of the men
selected, and scarcely possible changes of
mind on the part of Gen. Harrison, the next
cabinet will be as follows:
Secretary of state, James Gillespie Blaine
of Maine.
Secretary of the treasury, William Window
Of Minnesota.
Secretary of war; Jere Rusk of Wisconsin.
Secretary of the navy, John r. Thomas of
Illinois
Secretary of the interior, John Wilcox
Noble of Missouri.
Postmaster general, John Wanamaker of
Pennsylvania.
Attorney general, William Henry Harrison
Miller of Indiana
Secretary of agriculture, Warner Miller of
New York.
This makeup of the cabinet has been set
tied since Saturday, when the acceptance by
Mr.. Window Of the treasury department
made it possible to proceed with the choice Of
men for the three or four minor places that
had been held open pending the settlement OF
that question. OF the eight, it is understood
that Blaine, Window, Rusk, Noble, Wana-
maker and Miller Of Indiana have already
practically accepted the places for which they
are set down. There is some doubt yet as to
Thomas and, it is understood, little as to
whether Warner Miller Will be contented
with the post of distribution of seeds. The
chief likelihood of change in the cabinet is in
those places.
If the feeling here among the men who
have, ever since the convention last summer,
been vaunting their confidence in the sound
Judgment and vigorous. not to say rigorous,
backbone of Benjamin Harrison, is any indi-
cation of what the feeling will be throughout
,he country upon the announcement of the
cabinet, there is heap of lively music in
store for President Harrison The Hoosier
Republicans first hesitated in their alteration
of Harrison when they were compelled to ad-
nit that Blaine was to be secretary of state.
They had scarcely braced themselves up after
this with the consoling idea that perhaps it
was merely another evidence of the integrity
of their favorite's backbone that he dared to
tksra axe nR 4 Blaire; la;Tas s.gmr Blaine last
hight pronounced Sbsurdly untrue the story
teiegraphed from Indianapolis that he had
been given the secretaryship of state in Harri-
sons cabinet only upon the condition that he
would resign at the end of three months from
the 4th of March. His friends say that it is
inconceivable either that Harrison would
make such tender or that Mr. Blaine would
consider it. Mr.. Blaine is going into the
cabinet to stay through the whole of Harri-
sons administration, they say. If he does
not, it will not be Blaine's fault, they add
significantly.
