one of his close personal and political friends
this evening There can be no doubt that every
thing is practically fixed The Generalo course will
make no formal or official announcement about the
Cabinet until he goes to Washington, but you may

WR McKeen, the president of the Vandaha Rail-

reasons why He says that the Presidcntelect
confessed frankly that he was tired of the New
York fight The Empire State would not get
Cabinet place until peace was patched up
between the contending forces. General Harrison
limited that the Attorney Generalship might be
good place to pick compromise for. That and
the Secretarysbip of the Interior were about all
the places left now. But harmony was necessary,
above all things, to get any place at all The
General then made remark about having been
driven to death by ofice-seekers of all kinds

and he promptly responded
Yes think that every Republican should
wait at least until the 4th of March, before put

petitions to President Cleveland
