THE PRIVATE SECRETARY.
Some of the len From Whom Mr.. Cleveland
May Select His Confidential Assistant.

Some of the " en- From Whom Mr.. Cleveland
May Select His Confidential Assistant.
People who expect to go to the White House
n good deal after March A. and there is large
aud increasing class Of just such persons, will
be interested to know the kind of a man Mr..
Cleveland will select for his private secretary.
1t is not known that he has decided upon any
one as yet, but there is more or less conjecture
as to the man who will be called upon to I'LL q
position which in a large degree is one Of the
most important within the gift OF the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. GEORGE p. PARKER
Naturally the name of Mr. George F. Parker
occurs TO the minds of those who are farnilia5
with the personnel of the management Of the
late campaign. 1t would hardly be possible to
find a more ardent Cleveland man than Mr..
Parker. To say that he admires Mr.. Cleveland
would be only mild form of expressing the
intense devotion and hero worship which he
bestows on the President-elect This was evil
dent 10 every one who came in contact with
Mr.. Parker at democratic headquarters in New
York city. Mr.. Parker was the auditor OF the
committee aud, of course, was one OF the most
enthusiastic workers. He II q Newspaper man
and at one time was located in this city.
EDWARD LINcoLs o'BnIrS.
Mr.. Cleveland now has q private secretary
who has been with him since his nomination.
He is a young man only two or three years ont
of Harvard, and when Edward Lincoln O'Brien
frs. called to the attention Of Mr.. Cleve-
land he the staff of one of the Boston
dailies. He is a bright, capable Young man,
but il is thought that Mr. Cleveland will want
some one who has had more experience in pub
lie affairs.
JOSIAH QUINCY.
Josiah Quincy, the chairman Of the Massa-
chusetts state committee, has been mentioned,
but it il said that the position is hardly large
enough for Mr.. Quincy either from the stand
point Of his abilities or his services during the
last campaign. He is still Young man, not
Yet forty. and is credited with being one Of the
coolest, shrewdest political managers in the old
bay state.
T.. S. WILLIAMS.
Some seem to think that Mr.. T. 8. WILL
iams. the private secretary Of Gov. Flower,
would be of great service to Mr.. Cleveland in
the capacity of private secretary. Perhaps,
however, Mr.. Williams intimacy with Senator
Hill might not be considered giving him
the proper qualifications for holding similar
relation to MIR. Cleveland. Mr. Williams is a
newspaper man and it seems to be the general
impression that some one from that profession
viii be called ON to I'LL the chair SO ably oc-
cupied by Col. Lamont who got his early politi-
cal training through bis newspaper connections.
There are several newspaper men located in
this city who would b. admirable private secre-
taries st the White House. In making a selec-
tion along these lines Mr.. Cleveland would
secure competent confidential assistant and
at the same time preserve the almost unbroken
tradition IN regard 10 the place, which calls for
a man Of standing and ability.

The Force Bill and the Tariff Did the Busi-

Senator Faulkner says that the force bill and
the tariff did the business for the republicans
in West Virginia. He says that the whole
power of the administration was be-
hind the effort to carry that
state for Harrison; that at one time there
was . quorum Of the cabinet there at
work. This, he says, served to arouse
the people against federal interference and
resulted in making the state safe for the demo-

WILL NOT JOIN THE BOARD.

The Washington Park Jockey Club Will
Remain Neutral.
Ever since the war between the Board
of Control and the winter race tracks in
this section of the country commenced,
horsemen have been wondering upon
which side of the fence the WASHINGTON

whatever action it cook would be highly

is, its meetings will be conducted as in

Control bad never made issue with the
winter tracks. The authority for this
statement is no less q person than Mr.. j..
