The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1889-02-27

ioln ana CocKrel, the SpeclaI coninlUVee
on the inaugural ceremonies, who called
of the details and left him a project I'd
programme to consider. The fam
lily all took dinner together in their own
dining rooms. Afterward Gen. Harrison
and Secretary Halford turned to the mail
again, while Mrs. Harrison and her daugh-
ters talked with their Washington rela-
tives.
TO CALL AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Tomorrow or next day the President
elect and Mrs. Harri on will call at the
white house on President aud Mrs. Cleve-
land. The latter will the1 return their
call. President Arthur invited President
elect Cleveland to dinner when he called on
him, an invitation which President Cleve-
land had to decline on account Of lack or
time. Possibly President and Mrs. Cieve-
land may extend similar invitation to
President-elect and Mrs. Harrison. At all
events they will ask them to take luncheon
at the white house on Inauguration day.
HOW THEY LOOK.
General and Mrs. Harrison have not
changed much since they left Washington.
They are perhaps trifle grayer, but other
wise looked, as they stood on the steps of
the johnson house bowing 10 the crowd
while the inevitable amateur caught the
tableau with his camera, very much as they
did when they lived quietly in the modest
boarding house just across the street.
Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Russell Harrison
are even better looking than they were
when they went away. They will both at
tend the tea which Mrs. Bouke, a school
mate OF Mrs Russell Harrison, gives in her
honor tomorrow afternoon.
TO BE DINED BY BELDEN.
Tomorrow night Representative Belden
nj NJ nrixx "a
Arlington in honor Of the President-elect
and the Vice President-elect, at which ex-
Secretary Blaine, ex-Secretary Window,
Mr.. Proctor w. II. H. Miller, Mr.. Wana-
maker, ex-senator T. G. Platt, ex-senator
Warner Miller, Senator Hiscock, Senator
Evarts, Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, Senator
Quay ond other prominent republicans, in
Guiding several senators and representa-
tiveS, are expected to be present. This din
ner is intended to harmonize the New York
leaders aud enable Gen. Harrison to put
two of them in the cabinet, as he seems now
to desire to do.
THE NEXT CABINET.
According to Gen. Harrison's friends Mr..
Blaine, as Secretary of State, is the only
man absolutely fixed, except possibly ex-
Secretary Window, as Secretary OF the
Treasury, while w. II. II. Mile, Mr..
Wanamaker, Gen. Noble and Mr.. Proctor
have agreed to take whatever place Gen.
Harrison thinks best to give them. This
leaves TWO vacancies for New York, if New
York leaders can be got to I'LL them, but it
is explained that they are not to be either
the state, treasury or postotfice. Ii New
York men can not be gotten for them, one
will probably be given to the Pacific coast
and one to the south. The cabinet has
been brought here in pieces and is to be put
together by Monday. Mr.. Blaine, w. II. H.
llo,- a,,1 |, al
mentioned are expected to be here to morrow
or next day.
HISCOCK AND EVARTS CALL.
Gen. Harrison's most important visitors
tonight were Senators Hiscock and Evarts
of New York, who talked with him for an
hour about the prospect of getting har
mony among the New York leaders, and
putting one or more In the cabinet. In the
course of the conversation Gen. Harrison
expressed regret that he should have been
brought in town as he was to-day, ana dis
embarked at a distance from the station.
He said that had no been consulted he
would have ins sted upon being brought
into the station, just as he had always been
before, but added that the executive COM
mittee acted without regart to him.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Law Partner w. H. ID. Miller and Chair
man j. G.. Houston have both rented rooms
for several months They come with Gen.
Harrison at his request, and both expect to
be appointed to high offices, either in the
cabinet or just below it. Mr.. Miller ex-
poets to be either Attorney General or
solicitor general.
Ex-senator Saunders of Nebraska, father
in-law of Russell Harrison, who came on
with the presidential party, is candidate
for the collectorship Of Internal revenues at
Omaha, Neb., and thinks he will get it.
sPEER's CALL ON HARRISON
Judge Speer will see Gen. Harrison TO-
morrow or Thursday. He will, it is stated,
give him incidentally some pointers about
the district attorneyships and United States
marshalships Of Georgia and Florida.
THE FIGHT ON WINDOW.
Tomorrow morning, so 1t Is stated to-
night, Senators Sabin and Davis Of Mime
sofa, will call on the President-elect, and
protest against the appointment of William
Window as Secretary Of the Treasury.
They have prepared an abstract of his
personal career with especial reference to
his financial undertaking, which shows that
they think he is an unfit man for a cabinet
place. Mr.. Davis was the prosecute
officer in ons case tried at Red Wing,
OAK, in which ex-Secretary Window and
the Southern Pacific people were parties
defendant to a cnarge Involving his ap-
preparation of land and stock. The Mime
sofa senator expect to be able TO
ut ex-Secretary Window out. The
friends of ex-Secretary Win1om say that
while there is nothing in the charges that
he need fear, is is quite possible that ex-
Secretary Wipdom may not go into the
cabinet IL he does not, however, they say,
it will be because he does not care to ac-
cept. According to theiu it has taken
much persuasion to bring him to consider
the matter at all, as he is reluctant to leave
his business
