INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6.--AlI doubt about
Senator Alison's declnation of Gen. Harri-
sons offer Of the treasury department is at an
end The Iowa statesman has definitely in
dicnted that he prefers 70 stay out Of the
cabinet, and Gen. Harrison is casting about
for another westerner to take Allisons place
So far Col John c. New has been the only
man seriously considered by the president
elect, and the probability Is strong thnt the
portfolio will be offered to him II mo-
complications in Indiana politics arise during
tile next few days Col New has done all he
could to keep his friends from bringing amy
pressure Of personal sort to bear ON Geu-
Harrison, and 70 about thousand letters and
telegrams he has received from all parts of
the country since Saturday, asking leave to-
help along his candidacy, he has made the in
variable answer that the president-elect must
BE- left 10 his own Judgment in tho sclectionoe
the next secretary OF the treasury.
Reports have been telegruphed from Indian
apolis that Cen Harrison had practically set
tied upon William Window FOR his secretary
of the treasury Mr.. Window was the secre-
u,ry during Garfleld's short administration,
and left the senate 20 take that place Since
1880 he has been living almost entirely in tho
-,st, and the Minnesotans say that he no
longer has any political influence in that
state Gen Harrison, IL may be said with
positivencss. has not been thinking of ex-
senator Window as "A member of the next
cabinet
George II. Thomas post, @. A. r., presented
| Gen Harrison with a handsomely orna-
mented Grand Army badge. The body Of the
| badge is of gold, with circle OF stars abouE
| the rim, each star SET with a diamond. Ths
| presentation took place at Gen. Harrisons
house. Comrade Henry Clay Allen made the
| speech for the post and Gen. Harrison replied
lrieAy aud gracefully.
To colored man, $. r. Scottens, Of
| Brooklyn, who called in the Afternoon, Cen
Harrison made AN interesting statement. Tho
visitor was complaining that civil rights were
DENIED 10 negroes in the south and IN some
parts Of the north and wanted the PRESIDENT
elect 10 suggest remedy.
"While all that you say is true replied
Gen Harrison, land Is much 10 be deplored,
yet we must remember that a question Of
greater Importance, both 20 your people ana
10 the whole people, needs our first attention
We want TO see 10 IL that every man who has
the right 70 vote should do 70 il he SO desires,
and that his vote shall he counted Secure to
him these rights, and in time all these civil
rights OF which you speak viii follow
Gen. Harrison is quoted as saying that
cabinet making would be at a standstill until
he could find a man for the treasury depart
ment As a consequence there Is little specu-
lation among the cabinet experts about the
disposition Of the minor departments. The
belief Is growing that the south may not gel
any representative in the cabinet at all
! The most important caller on the president
elect was Col. John $ Moshy, the fam0u,
Confederate guerilla leader, later than that a
: diplomat in China, now citizen Of Califor
MIA Col Mosby is a relative Of Gen. EAR
