His Old Law Partner rendered the
Postmaster Generalahip.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The New York
Times prints to-day a special from Buffalo
which says that President-elect Cleveland
has offered the postmaster generalship in
his cabinet 70 his old law partner, Wilson
s. Blssell. The Times thus disposes of four
places in Mr.. Cleveiand's cabinet-State
department, Judge Gresham; treasury,
Senator Carlisle; war Mr.. Lamont; post
office department, Mr.. BisselI. The special
asserts that Mr.. Bisseil has accepted the
place.
NOTHING OFFICIAL AS TO THE CABINET.
LAKEWOOD, N. j.. Feb. 12.-President-
elect Cleveland will remain at Lakewood
all this week unless private business calls
him to town. he will invite such men as
he desires TO see In connection with the
cabinet or other high positions to visit him
here, and In all probability the composition
ef his cabinet will be definitely known be-
fore the end OF the week. As yet no off,
clal announcements have been made regard
ing any Of the portfolios either by President
elect Cleveland or by the gentlemen
who have been asked to enter
the cabinet. All the reports
have come from friends Of the men whose
names have been mentioned, and, excepting
Mr.. Cleveland, probably not more than
those three men know definitely who have
been asked and who have accepted cabinet
positions. 1t is practically settled, how
ever, that Walter Q. Gresham has been
offered the portfolio Of state and
has accepted, and that John G.
Carlisle will be Secretary of the Treasury.
These men have admitted enough to relieve
all doubt, so far as they are concerned. AS
to the rumors concerning Wilson S. Bissell
Of Buffalo, Hoke Smith of Georgia, Daniel
S. Lamont, h. A. Herbert Of Alabama,
nothing positive can be learned. These men
may be set down as possibilities.
GRESHAM AND THE CABINET.
NEW York, Feb. 12.-It is reported on
authority which cannot be questioned that
Judge Walter Q. Gresham has accepted the
portfolio of state in President-elect Cleve-
lands cabinet. 1t will be remembered that
Don M. Dickinson made a flying trip to
Chicago a week ago, and. after an interview
with Judge Gresham, returned and
reported results TO Mr. Cleveland. IL
is now said that Mr.. Dickinson obtained
Judge Gresham's views on some of the most
important questions which will come before
the next administration and expressed MIR
Cleveland's desire that Judge Gresham
should be his premier. After Mr.. Dickin-
sons return formal tender of the portfolio
Of state was made by letter and Judge
Gresham, after careful consideration, ao-
cepted.
It is practically settled that Senator
Carlisle be Secretary OF the Treasury and
Daniel s. Lamont Secretary Of War It's
also reported that Hoke Smith, editor Of
the Atlanta Journal and an original Cleve-
land man in Georgia, will be Secretary of
Agriculture. Wilson s. Bissell of Buffalo,
formerly a law partner OF Mr.. Cleveland,
is now slated Tor Postmaster General in
stead of Attorney General. Hilary A. Her
