VIEWS OF CABINET OFFICERS
Mr.. Wanamaker Thinks the republicans
Will Carry New York.
BUSINESS MEN DON'T WANT A CHANGE

limited rolled into the Union depot last
evening going West Seldom has such q
large and distinguished crowd of people
stopped in the dingy station at one time as
those who alighted from the trains for
short tramp on the platform. They were
Representatives the National Government,
several Eastern States and of number of
foreign countries bound for Chicago to at
tend the dedication Of the Worlds Fair
buildings Three of the sections came from
Washington; one carried Governor Patti
son and his staff, the brigadier generals and
their stats and the State Fair Commission
erG
After the regular limited arrived the
others followed in close order. Governor
Pattison's party occupied the first section,
then came the Cabinet officers, the United
States Supreme Court Justices and the dip
lomatic corps.
Cabinet Officers on the Train.
On the Cabinet officers train were Post
master General Wanamaker, Secretary of
State John W. Foster and his wife, Secre-
tarv Tracy, Attorney General Miller, Mrs
Wilmerding and. Miss Wilmerding, Secre-
tary Noble and wife and Miss Halstea, Miss
Elkins, Assistant Secretary Solely and
others. Secretaries Foster and Rusk will
meet the Cabinet in Chicago. Secretary
Tracy and Mr.. Wanamaker spent the
time pacing up and down the depot.
The Postmaster General wore q white
SLOUGH hat and his usual pious smile.
When asked what States he considered
doubtful, Mr.. Wanamaker replied promptly:
81 think President Harrison will carry
all the States he did before. Some people
imagine that New York will 60 Demo-
cratic, but am not afraid Of that State.
The business men will save it for the Re-
publican party. What can be accom-
plished by a change? The admins
tration has been frst-class, and the
people are satisfied. 1t is true
the campaign is very quiet. but that is not
ominous Unless there is something extra
ordinary about candidate you need not ex-
pect a hurrah canvass in the future. Think
they have passed away. The newspapers
discuss all the facts and issues, and the
people read them generally. It isn't neces-
sary for voters to waste much time in CAM
The Feeling of Business Men.
Cuisines men look on a change in gov
when there is no good reason for 1t
as stockholders regard a shaking up in a
board of directors When you talk of
change to them, they grow suspicious and
lose confidence In the business. The same
principle applies to politics. Harrison has
l.
want him continued in power. I
breaks in North Carolina. Alabama and
Tennessee. We may get the electoral vote
of Alabama, but am not sure OF it. The
South is fast drifting toward Republicanism.
What the people down there want Is capital,
and they are beginning to learn that no
man will invest money with them as long
as honest elections are not held. The time
is coming when even the Southern
ers will get tired of disfranchising
voters. If the colored people are
not allowed to cast their ballots like other
citizens then their Congressional represen-
tation. which is usurped year after year,
should be cut of. I"
Secretary Noble said he was preparing a
list of what he thinks are doubtful States
He says New York is not one of them, and
he is confident of Republican victory in
West Virginia
He Has Hopes of Alabama.
He hasn't made up his mind about Ala
bama, but he would not be surprised to see
the electoral vote cast tor Mr.. Harrison.
Mr. Noble is not worrying about Colorado
or Nevada. He doesn't believe the West
ern Republicans will be foolish enough to
waste their votes on Weaver.
Secretary Tracy remarked that New
York was all right He SAYS the Repub-
licans have nothing to fear from quiet
campaign.
The train carrying the Justices of the
United States Supreme Court attracted
great deal of attention. Mrs. Shiras and
George I'LL were at the depot to meet the
husband and father; so was Sol Schoyer,
to congratulate his old partner
in the law. As soon as the train
the tall frame of Justice Shiras was
visible near the door, He evidently knew
number of friends were waiting to greet
him, and lie was soon on the platform,
where he was surrounded. Mrs. Shiras
asked if there was place on the train for
her. "Why, certainly" the new Justice
replied, ''there will always be q
place for you," and then he
helped his wife into the car Mr.. Shiras
10 oks well, and is not out of place with
the other big headed, smooth faced
Judges.
The Supreme Court on Board.
Those on the train were Chief Justice
Fuller and his wife j Justice Harlan, Justice
Gray and his wife. Justice Brewer and Mrs.
Brewer. Justice Brown, Justice Shiras and
Mrs. Shiras, Marshal j. NJ. Wright and |
Clerk McKenney.
On the first section of the limited was |
George w. Childs, the veteran editor of the |
Philadelphia Ledger. He asked q great |
many questions about Homestead, remarked |
that the men had made bad mess OF it,
and he was sorry for them. He concluded !!
by saving that the Republicans would elect |
their President Mr. Childs received quite |
an ovation from people on the other trains
who knew him.
On the train with Mr.. Childs was the |
New Jersey delegation. Governor Albeit |
couldn't come, but he was represented by |
General w. S. Stryker. In the party were
ex-United States Senator Cattell, Mrs
Yardley and Sarah G. Ware, the lady CON-
missioners, State Treasurer Gray, General |
John d. McGill, General Spencer and |
others. There were 80 in all.
1t was rumored that Chairman Harrity |
was on the Pennsylvania train, but this was |
3 mistake. Mr.. Harrity is too busy at |
present watching the Democratic forces to
leave New York.
Governor Pattison VIII Not Speak.
Governor Pattison was quite gracious and |
cordial He said he wouldn't make any
speeches in the campaign He thinks tho |
Democrats never mad such q chance
10 win, and he looks for Cleve-
and to have great victory. He |
believes that West Virginia and New York |
will be Democratic. James Atwell, ex-
Postmaster Larkin and ex-Sheriff Guffey
