~sOUABBLING OVER GRAY.

A Movement to Indorse Him for a Cabinet
Position Nipped in the Bud.
There was q plan on foot yesterday to
spring q joint resolution on the Legislature
tomorrow ENDORSING Isaac Pussy Gray for
o Cabinet position. It originated with
some of the Jealous friends of Gray, who
did not see its results. Captain Allen
heard of it, and at once apprehended it's
perils. He went to those who were back
of the movement and put o veto upon
it so vigorous that 1t will not
now be heard from. The anti-Gray
wing was rather anxious that the
resolution be presented. 1t would have
given them a chance to "fouP' Gray's
chances for a Cabinet appointment by mus
tering a decided opposition. They are OF

failed, each of the three and ates. Glaze

enough votes to nominate, and it is evident
that somebody is promising both ways.
This 10 the only point the formal caucus
Will have to settle tonight.
The results of the Senate caucus were
not acceptable all around. For instance.
Senators Magee. McHugh. Holland. Nc
Donald and Clifford were not IN town, and
did not fare very we'll in the results. There
were some In the caucus who were out
voted, and not overly pleased. An attempt
was made last night TO effect a combina-
ton between these two elements to over
throw the work of the caucus, but il did not
become formidable. The slate will stand
the ordeal of the caIcu tonight.
At q late hour last night there was an
effort to combine the opposition aQainst
Giszebrook for Door-keeper of the House in
favor of Robertson, of Upton. The success.
however. was not apparent and the nomi-
nation was still claimed by each side. It
will perhaps TAX the oaucus to tell the
story. A new factor in the contest is the
appointment of Henry Kelley by the SUI
preme Court judges to be sheriff of the
court. 1t crept out during the night
that Marion county had drawn this
prize also. This aggravated the feel
ing of the out counties against
Marion county. and as Glazebrook has the
undivided support of the Marion delega-
ton, it was thought possible that the feel
ing might reach and injure his chances.
