"ASlilNGToN, Jan. "a special from
New Irk to tho Post says: Mr.. Cleve.
ianu spent his two New Years holidays
qnletly ut home receiving few friends
In the city who called, as we'll S friends
from other States who happened to be
In town over Sunday and to-day. Among
these was DR.. George L. Miller, of Me-
bFaska, who, in addition to his per.
sonal and political relations with the
Presiaent-elec has had business con-
nections with him in handling some
Omaha property which came to Mrs.
Cleveland from the estate of her grand
father.
a good deal of gossip has been SET
aHoa6 by the interviews between tho
President elect and Senator Carlisle.
me report has been given out that the
request for this visit was preferred
through third party. 1t was scarcely
necessary in such case rs this TO make
anybody u go-be tween, because he rela-
tions of the President elect and tho
kentucky Senator have long been quite
rs close personally as politically,
Neither Mr.. Cleveland nor Senator Car
hsle has, Of course, talked 10. ANYBODY
for pu blication. They have spoken very
guardedlT, even 10 intima t. friends, but
from Vague outgivings it is learned that
the conversation between these two
gentlemen referred far more to the poll
c:es to DO pursued than to places and
personal ambitions.
The diifeEen5 methods OF reaching the
desired result were, it is said. talked
over very thoroughly, and assurance is
also given that no two men could have
better understanding concerning these
polcies, as we'll rs the methods 10 be
pursued III carrying them cut, than
nave these two gentlemen. 1t may also
he stated that ii any tender of the Seq
retarYship OF tho Treasury has been
made TO Mr.. Carlisle, no formal answer
has yet been given TO 1t, but that it will
be carefully taken into consideration
during the next few weeks. 1t is not
thought that there will TO any special
hurry in announcing this fact, oven il
the rumor CT such 4 tender should turn
out TO be true.
Among other gontlcmen who called
to SEQ Mr.. Cleveland on Sunday was
Congressman Il. T. Cable, of Illinois,
VINO was tho member of tho campaign
committee in charge OF Tho manage
ment OF tho campaign in Illinois.
Since that time Mr. Cables MANY
visits here have enabled tho politicians
or New York and the East TO get q pretty
fair measure of his abilities and of his
work, and the verdict has boon very
favorable to him. Apropos of Mr.. Cables
visit it may DO said that tho Democrats
OF illinois now give assurances that all
their id-timo fractional fights are over.
For tho first time in many years they
say that everybody will now unto in
presenting Mr.. Morrison for a Cabinet
position if that gentleman himself has
any desire for such place. Senator
Palmer, it is said, has not only with
drawn his previous opposition TO MIR.
Morrison, but will co operate in the
most cordial manner with tho leaders
of every other element in the State to
bring about this result
Every element in tho Democratic
party in Mr.. Morrison's State will
unite in helping him to reach his am
bition. To those who lock for such a
result it would seem to be sort of
poetic justice if Messrs. Carlisle and
Morrison should both find q place in the
Cabinet Of a President who looks upon
the correction OF tariff abuses as tae
most important part Of his administra-
ton, both of these gentlemen having
worked together for many years IA tariff
reformcrs.
