NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Herald says
The i'm preston is very general that the
federal patronage in this city under Presi.
dent Cleveland will be absolutely at the
disposal of Tammany Hall. The mug
wumps say that Tammany will get MOTH
ing III return for it's loyal support of Mr..
Cleveland. because the organization had to
be- loyal to escape a rival city ticket. Re-
publicans and minor Tammany leaders say
Cleveland will give Mr.. Croker every thing.
because tho organization is the Democratic
party of this city and promises have been
made. The facts are that Tammany will
have nearly every thing. but not quite all
Mr.. Croker. Mr.. Gilroy. Mr.. MARITIME and the
two or three others privy to the secrets Of
Tammany's policy have observed q silence
so complete on this question from the very
beginning of the campaign that not one
authentic rumor found its way into gener-
al circulation. Success has relaxed this
secrecy, and the strong reason for it's OBJ
6ervati0n ends with the campaign.
1T was learned. yesterday. that some
sort of an understandirR-not specific In
detail-was reached between Mr. Whitney,
Mr.. Clevelands representative in the mat
ter, and Mt. Croker, whereby Tammany
was promised fair treatment A large
share of all federal local patronage is Tam.

although Mr. Cleveland has not said so.
there is no reason TO suppose that IL Is not
bis definition ALSO The agreement pro-
yides. it is said. that the collector of the
port shall come from the country, but that
tie postmaster shall be q man agreeable to
both Tammany and tho independent Dem,
ocrats of the city. The United States mar
shal. the collector OF internal revenue. the
naval officer and other smaller Offices shall
be Tammany's. The Assistant United
States Treasurer was not desired psrticu-
larly by Tammany. but that was allotted to
MIR. Croker.
.'An equally interesting question is.
What will be Mr.. Cieveland's attitude
with reference to the policy that TO the
vIctors belong the spoilsf One OF the
strongest Tammany arguments against Mt.
Cleveland at Chicago was the fact that he
kept Democrats out of office. One of the
fayorlte slogans was Remember partisan
Postmaster Pearson A member of tho
Democratic national COMMITTEES, who 10
most ;ntimate with Mr.. Cleveland. said
yesterday that he had reason to believe
that Mr.. Cleveland's idea as TO the treat
mont and rewards which good Democrats
should receive had materially chan nged. L
mean by that said he; that there will be
keeping Republicans in office. Their places
will be wanted for Democrats after March
4. aud Democrats will get the places.
Cleveland is q mugwamp no longer, and ho

The result of the election being positively
settled. politicians here are turning their
attention to the possible makeup OF Presi-
dent Clev Glands next Cabinet. Many are
York State Legislature is known TO be
Democratic on joint ballot In the probable
successor to United States Senator Frank
Hiscock, whose term expires March next
1t is said that Governor Flower Is am.
bitious to be the Senator's successor, and
that Lieutenant-governor Sheehan wanto
to succeed to the Governors office. Demo-
cratic politicians generally agree that Gov.
Flower Will be sent to the Senate If he go
desires, and Lieutenant governor Sheehan
wiz thus become Governor for the unex-
pred term. LieutenaDt-governor Sbeehan'e
friends declare that his splendid achieve
interest of the Democratic party ent'tle
him TO the next nomination for a full term.
There has been some ,ta alk of Congressman
w. Bourke Cochran for Senator. but his
friends allege that he does not want that
place. It'll said that he Is satisfied with
his law practice and the opportunities ho
has. with his splendid powers. to make Q
record in the lower house of Congress, TO
which he has Just been reelected.
The Cabinet slate generally figured out
by politicians to-day was follows: Sec
retary of State, Thomas +. Bayard. of Dell
aware; Secretary of the Treasury. John l..
Mitchell. or x-Postmaster- general Villas.
of Wisconsin; Secretary of the Navy, VIM.
{. Whitney of New York; Secretary OF
War, w. Is. Franklin of New Hampshire;
Secretary OF the Interior, Isaac L. Gray, OF
Indiana; Attorney general, Congressman
William l.. Wilson, of West Virginia. or
Congressman Culbertson, of Texas; Post
master general. Don nj. Dickinson. 1t has
been the generally accepted belief in polit-
who has done so much TO achieve tho
sweeping victory Tor Cleveland. would he
offered the place OF Secretary of State by
the President, but those who appear TO
would prefer to be Secretary of the Navy.
if he enters the Cabinet at all.
