 Harrison and Family.
A FORECAST OF HIS POLICY.

A Man Who Claims to He Loaded "th Information Imparts It to the Public. Col. New Is Silent-Senators Opposed to windom-Latest Cabinet Rumors. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 20-"Nearly every body who voted for Gen. Harrison in lndi- ana expects to receive an office under the Federal government" said a prominent In diana politician to a representative of the United Press
 "Win they succeed in gratifying their ex- pectations?' was asked.
 ''No, sir; they will not"
 "What do you know about the matterT 'I know how Gen. Harrison is going to manage the appointments.
 ''There are a great many hundreds of peo- ple who would be glad to have rel able infor- nation on that subject; suppose you eniighten Aem"
 not mention my name" 'That is agreed"
 'sWell, sir, you may tell the people who are interested that Gen. Harrison is going to adopt policy of referring all applications for office to the departments. where they properly belong, and each member of his cabinet will be given to understand that these applications are to be properly classified, and when appointments are to be made the state congressional delegations will be called upon by the respective cabinet officers to decide what names on the list of eligibles shall be appointed Their recommendations will be carried out and the responsibility for the appointment made will be with the delega- tions. know that this policy will be inaugu- rated early in the administration and it will be rigidly followed"
 The gentleman quoted referred to appoint ments which would not of necessity have to go through the civil service commission.
 President-elect Harrison made number of business calls about the city during the day. In the afternoon the Woman's club gave an elaborate reception to Mrs. Harrison and Mrs Mckee at the New Denison.
 Gen. Harrison is expected to take leave of his friends at reception to be rendered him at the New Denison this evening.
 Mir and Mrs. w. D. Cooper will give a card reception this evening in honor of Mir E. W. Halford, at which the friends of the private secretary to the president-elect will bid him farewell
 While Mir John C. New evidently knows a great deal that would make interesting read ing for the public at this time, he cannot be persuaded to discuss matters pertaining to the new administration. He meets all in- quiries with the remark: II have heard that report but have no official information on the subject Mir New says he will not go to Washington on March f.
 Mr. John B. Elam, law partner of MT. w. H. H. Miller, was quoted having said that Mir. Millers would not be member of the cabinet Last evening Mir. Elam denied the truth of the quotation.
 Many persons think that the visit of Gov. ernor Proctor to Gen. Harrison means that he may go abroad.
 WASHINGTON, Feb 30.-Cabinet specula tion has received q new impetus at the Capitol The talk hinged mostly upon Rep resentative Thomas, of Illinois, for secretary of the navy, and Hon. John NJ. Thurston, oi Nebraska, for the interior.
 It is now believed by the best informed cabinet makers that Capt. Thomas is on the slate. In fact number of messages have been sent to President-elect Harrison con graduating him upon Thomas selection Thomas appointment will be very popular il congress. He is not only we'll qualified fol the place, but he is one of the most popular men that ever occupied a seat ill either hous of congress
 The Republican senators, while still amazet at the proposition to make Windon secretar, of the treasury, seem to have given up thei idea of formal protest It can be state,
 
 up and numerously signed, but at the las moment it was considered to be unquestion ably wrong to protest against the selection o the cabinet officers It can be safely state, that the only reason why the senators remai silent is the fact that they do not wish to aI pear in the light of interferers, but the oppe sition to MT. Wmdom is nevertheless pro nounced.
 It is stated that lively telegraphic corre l>a<x r;f Ns braska and Indianapolis has been going on i relation to the appointment of Judge Thur. ton for the interior. Senator Quay, the CT tire Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and low delegations, Hon. Chauncey M. Depew and host of well known New York Republican have supplemented the indorsement they hay heretofore made of Judge Thurston by tell graphic communications and letters in his b, half Senator Manderson is at the capital Nebraska, and he has been informed that tf prospects are bright for Thurston's appoin ment
 INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2O.-The Republican here continue to comment unfavorably c what is presumed will be President Harrison cabinet While several of the persons WI will go into it are no doubt selected, it can safely stated that when the official announc ment is made some of those now boomed f. positions will not appear in the list. One these is w. H. H. Miller, of this state. comes with a reliable mark, to give the stat ment more than ordinary credence, tn while MT. Miller has no doubt been offered place he will not in the end be among tho who will gather around the presidents offici table
 But, after all, the belief is that the gener has very strong string attached to one-hs the names announced. It is also thought many that the names were put out to te public opinion. If that was the purpose t president-elect has no doubt all the inform tion on that score he desires.
 NEW YORK, Feb. 0.-Immediately aft the bill creating the portfolio of agricultu was passed Gen. Harrison offered the positi to Warner Miller. Last Thursday MT. Mill wrote to Gen. Harrison declining the positio SFhis is reliable
