the Rival New Workers.
WASHINGTON, February 2sth.-General Harri
son saw several callers this morning. but none
OF any special prominence outside OF New York
politicians, who called in the interest OF Platt
State Senator Fasset of New York has charge of
the Platt contingent. and is leaving no stone I'M
turned TO secure the coveted prize for the ex-
Senator. While Miller men are not so nuner-
Gus, they are not inactive, and the President
elect is kept fully informed as to the merits and
availability of the respective candidates
II the Piatt and Miller men can agree on
either one of the leaders he will be selected,
but in case they still continue to disagree as to
who shall be recognized, it is not improbable
that either New York will be left out of the
Cabinet entirely or else secure position through
compromise candidate, and in this connection
the name OF Senator EyartS is again revived SO
tina. a vacancy in the Senate viii be created
Piatt or Miller to have the control of the patron
age in the State.
The name of Sherman Rogers of Buffalo has
been mentioned this morning in case compro-
mise is necessary, and also thai of Cornelius N.
Bliss of New York.
CALIFORNIA; CHANCES NOT BRIGHT
WASHINGTON, February 27th.- Between 4 and
o'clock this afternoon Representatives FELTON,,
Morrow, McKenna and Vandeyer called at the
Arlington Hotel to pay their respects to General
Harrison. They met him descending the stairs
on his way out for walk, and simply shook
hands with him, deferring their formal call
until later in the day.
1t is generally believed by the members of the
delegation that California Will not be recognized
in the formation of the Cabinet. This
belief grows out OF the fact that the
contingencies indicated by General Harrison
TO Mr.. Morrow on the occasion of his visit to
indianapolis that might pave the way to the
selection of man from the Pacific coast do not
seem likely to be realized. Had The New York
politicians been able to agree upon candidate
for G Cabinet pesiticn-tor instance, the Navy
Departmental is possible that Mr. Noble. who
is now slated for the Interior Department, might
have been transferred TO the Department of
Justice, and the Pacifc7coast been awarded the
Irterior Department.
1t was c0ntemplated1n this arrangement that
one or two people who have been considered for
Cabinet positions might have accepted foreign
missions thus making vacancy Tor tue cossS
in the Cabinet. Unfortunately no part of the
programme hoped for by the delegation hes
been realized
