New YoRK, Dec. 5.-Grover Cleve-
lands return from his rough and tum-
BILE outing on Broadwater Island will
lend fresh impetus to cabinet coniec-
ture and senatorial speculation, says
the Herald to-day. Barring accidents
Mr.. Cleveland will be back to-day. 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 policy
with reference to the cabinet, the
United States senatorship, when an ex-
ira session should becalled, and the ex-
tent to which changes shall be made in
federal Offices here.
Senator Hill reached this city Satur-
day night, on his way to Washington
to take part in the opening OF the last
session OF tho Fifty-second Congress.
He remained indoors all day yesterday,
and said he had no remarks to make
for publication. The senator had very
few callers. Not many months ago he
could not have come to this city without
being oyerrun with visitors. The i'm
preston ia 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 sena-
torahip is almost intense.
Mr.. Cleveland, toward the end oil TINS
week, will hold his own conference.-the
Democratic leaders as to shaping the
policy OF the party after Mach 4. He
will probably put in very busy Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. The men IN
whom he reposes great confidence will
nil be here to attend the Reform club
dinner, and some OF them will como a
day in advance o. the feast, in order
to discuss fully with the President'elect
the various phases OF the situation.
Mr.. Whitney will not 90 10 the din.
ner, but he will be in the city. OF
course. Chairman Harrity is coming
over from Philadelphia, aud will be one
OF the Reform clubs guests. Senators
Carlisle and Mills, William r. Morri-
son, Ex-Governor Campbell, Don Nj.
Dickinson and host Of leaders from
tho south and west will be in tho city.
By lifetime they take their departure
il will be possible 10 make much more
likely guess as to the cabinet. That eH-
Secretary Fairchild will receive his old
portfolio is a fact which appears to all
well informed Democrats. That Chair
man Harrity will 90 into the cabinet is
not so certain. His friends have always
picked him out for postmaster general.
Mr.. Cleveland holds Mr.. Harrity in high
esteem, and there is no doubt that he
can get portfolio il 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.:
Harrity is not in what might be termed
easy circumstances, but he is engaged
in making little fortune for his wife
and family. II he went into the cabi-
net he would be compelled to abandon
several sources OF large emolument, like
the position OF secretary OF state OF
Pennsylvania and the presidency OF a
great trust company in Philadelphia
that pays him q liberal salary. Some
people think that If cabinet place is
given to Pennsylvania, Chauncey NJ.
Black will carry off the prize; Mr.. Har-
rity might be collector OF the port at
Philadelphia.
New England is almost sure OF a
portfolio. General ?. A. Collins has
been mentioned in almost every state
but host OF Democrats would rejoice
to see Col. Bradley j. Smalley honored
with a place. His friends thing he
would mako an excellent secretary of
the navy.
The demand from the west is growing
louder. Mr.. Cleveland's threat to con:
denim to the "demnition bow vows"
any one who mentioned Office to him
before March has not had restraining
effect on the Illinois contingent. 1.-THE
irrepressibie Chicago crowd want the
earth" said national committeeman
yesterday. "They have a man for
every place in the cabinet"
The friends OF William r. Morrison
are urging him for any cabinet position
which may be lying around loose and
unmortgaged. Some new names arc
appearing in the south. Ex-Secretary
Bayard was spoken OF for secretary OF
state again. There is an impression
that Senator George Gray, OF Delaware,
who has made national reputation and
whose term is about to expire, may be
called to the cabinet and that Mr.. Bay
ard may go into the senate again. SEN
ator Gray, however, would not be can
didate If his promotion would interfere
with Mr.. Bayards 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
speaker OF the Fifty-third Congress. II
MIR. Cleveland aud his friends desire
Crisp's reelection, 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 he has taken
d house in this city and will make his
temporary residence here. He is much
closer to Mr.. Cleveland than Senator
Brice, but he denies that he will try to
take the Ohio patronage out OF Mr..
Brice'a hands.
