BLOOD IN HIS EYE.
A California Man Insists Upon Re-
cognitien of the Coast.

INDIANAPOLIS, February 20.-A most
interesting phase of the Cabinet specu-
lation is now prevailing.
1t is the impression that the Pacific
slope is to be left out. Until within the
past few days it has been generally be-
lieYed that California would certainly
be represented, but the recent publica-
ton of the complete Cabinet states with
California omitted has given rise to
many conjectures as to the cause.
1t is generally accepted that there is
general factional strife and too many
ambitious aspirants, whose friends are
entirely too ready to privately make
detrimental charges. Judge Nj. w.
Estee who was regarded as having the
best chances called, and it is by no
means regarded as settled that either
his lame or some other Californians
will not finally appear among the
Cabinet stars. General Harrison pre-
serves his accustomed lenCe about
this, as all other Cabinet matters.
A representative of California arrived
from Washington this morning aud
proceeded to General Harrison's house.
He came to urge that the Pacific slope
be recognized. He had blood in his
eye SO to speak, when he left for Har-
rison's residence. He expects to return
to Washington this afternoon.
