NEW York. December 5.-Grover Cleve-
lands return from his rough and Tumble
outing on Broadwater Island VIII leno
fresh impetus to cabinet conjecture ana
Senatorial speculation. 1t is thought by Mr.
Cleveland's friends that he has made up
his mind about many things during his
absence and that he has definitely settled
his policv with reference to his cabinet, the
United States senatorsnip, when an extra
session should be called, and the
extent to which changes shall be
made ln federal offices here. Senator Hill
reached this CITY Saturday night on his
wav to Washington to take part in the
opening of the last session Of the Fitty-sec-
ond Congress. He remained indoors all
day Yesterday, aud said he mad no remarks
to make for publication. The Senator nao
very few callers. Not many months ago
he could not have come to this city without
being run over with visitors. The impress
sion is that instead OF becoming more
cordial in their relations, Mr.. Cleveland
and Senator Hill are drifting further
apart Curiosity as to what Mr.. Cleveland
will do about the Senatorship Is almost In
tense.
MIR. Cleveland toward the end OF this
week will hold his own conference with
Democratic leaders as to shapingthe policy
of the party after March 4. He will prob
ably put in very busy Friday, Saturday
and Sunday. The men in whom he reposeS
great confidence will all be here to attend
the Reform Club dinner and some OF tnem
will come day in advance Of the feast in
order TO discuss fully with the Presi dent
elect the various phases ofthe situation. Mr..
Whitney will not go to thedinner, but he Will
he in the CITY, of course. Chairman Har-
rity is coming over from Philadelphia
and will be one of the Reform Clubs
guests. Senators Carlisle and Mills, VIII
liam r. Morrison, Ex-Governor Campbell,
Don M. Dickinson and host OF leaders
from the South and West will be in the
city. BY the time they take their de-
parture it will be possible to make much
more likely guess as to the Cabinet. That
Ex-Secretary Fairchild will receive his
old portfolio is a fact apparent to all
well-informed Democrats. That Chairman
Harrity will go into the Cabinet is not so
certain. His friends have always picked
him out for Postmas ter General. Mr..
Cleveland holds Mr.. Harrity in high es-
TEEN, and there is no doubt that he
can get a portfolio if. he wants 1t.
But Mr.. Harrity is like Mr.. Whitney;
so far as known he does not want TO go into
the Cabinet. The reason is this: Mr.. Har-
rity is now in what might be termed easy
circumstances, hut he is set K1ged In making
a little fortune for his wife and family. IL
he went into the Cabinet he would be COM
PEELED to abandon several sources OF large
emolument. like the position of Secretary
OF State of Pennsylvania and the presi-
dency of a great trust company in Philadel-
phia. that pays him liberal salary. Some
people think that if Cabinet place is
given TO PENNSYLVANIA, Chauncey M. Black
will carry off the prize Mr.. Harrity
might be Collector Of the Port at Philadel-
phia.
New England is almost sure Of port
folio General z. A. Collins has been men
toned in almost every slate which has
been prepared but host Of Democrats
would rejoice to see Col. Bradley B.
Smalley honored with place. His friends
think he would make an excellent secre-
tary of the navy. The demand from the
West is growing louder. Mr.. Cleveland's
threat to condemn TO the "demnition bow
vows" any one who mentioned Office TO
him before March next has not had re-
sUraining effect on the Illinois contingent.
"The irrepressible Chicago crowd want
the earth" " said a national committeeman
Yesterday "They have a man for every
place in the cabinet
The friends Of William Il. Morrison are
urging him for any cabinet position which
may be lying around loose ana unmort-
gagged. Some new names are appearing in
the South. Ex-Secretary Bayard was
spoken of for secretary Of state again.
There is an impression that Senator Geo.
Gray, Of Delaware, who has madeanation-
al reputation, and whose term is about TO
expire. may be called to the cabinet, and
that Mr.. Bayard may go into the Senate
again. Senator Gray, however, will not
be a candidate if his promotion would
interfere with Mr.. Bayard's return to his
old place. Another new name from the
South is that of Representative William
L. Wilson, OF West Virginia, Judge Crisp's
most formidable rival for the Speakership
of the Fifty-third Congress. If Mr.. Cleve-
land and his friends desire Crisp's re-elec-
ton, the appointment Of Mr.. Wilson to the
Cabinet would be an easy way out Of the
woods without arousing any hard feeling.
Interesting report about Ex-Governor
Campbell, of Ohio, is that be has taken a
house in this city and will make his tenn
porary residence here. He is much closer
to Mr.. Cleveland than Senator Brice, but
he denies that he will try to take the Ohio
