Tho Cabinet is ut last complete.
1t would he hard to tell how many
secret aspirations in that direction
havo been crushed. The selection bv
Mr.. Cleveland of his official family
gives general satisfaction, There arc
those who find fault and indulge in
| harsh criticism, but the great body
OF people generally, irrespective of
party Affiliations, approve of the Sc
lection, and Mr.. Cleveland today is a
stronger man with the masses of the
people, than when he WAS elected to
Till the highest office within their Gift.
1t IS distinctly not a partisan, or q
party Cabinet, such as politicians
would wish who are locking t. the
loavcs and fishes and who seem to
think that the distribution of patron
age IS the chief source Of strength to
the party III power. The Cabinet is
very strong one, will be of great as-
slstance to the President in accom-
pllslnG the work which Mr.. Cleveland
seems to think has been given him
to perform by the American people
IL is safe to say that those gentlemen
Will ever bc found engaged iii work
which will contribute vastly more to
the building up of their party by
steady and permanent advanccments
IN every thing consistent with the
real sentiment of all tho people. All
sections of tho great republic has
come for gratiAcation, and appear to
be satisfied. This of itself is q most
conclusive proof Of the greatness Of
their chosen leader and of the warm
place he holds in their hearts. The
members heretofore chosen are now
sufficiently known to the public rs not
to require further comment The last
two will only be spoken Of here
