BLUE FOR THE SNAPPERS.
THEY SEE no CHANCE TO GET OFFICES.
THE CHOICE OF BIssELL LEAVES THEM LITTLE

THE CHOICE OF BISSELL LEAVES THEN JITTIr
HorE-nILL WILL FIGHT HARD.
There was nothing 10 indicate yesterday that the
urc' remaining places on Mr. CleVelands Calinct
STATE were definitely settled Tie most crodablc
authorities sin inclined TO the belief That the place
OF secretary Of the Navy would go to Congressman
Iilary ~ Herbert, OF Alabama. The selections OF
NJ Carlisle for secretary Of the Treasury and Iokc
slhtA Tor secretary % the Interior have und Jubcdy
weakened Mr. nerhcrt'S chances, /. IS we'll known
that Mr Cleveland las al 10 time intended giving
NOR" than two Cabinet places to the south EA-Goy-
"rhor James T.. Campho Is looked uTon by friends
both lcrr and in Ohio possibility. II he really
wants TO enter the Cabinet. which Mr.. Campbell
himself vigorously denies.
II was believed yesterday that either Ex-Governor
FRANCIS o' Missouri. or OK Governor Clock Of Kansas
stood good chance Of hcins secretary Of Agriculture
and that to cxCongr nsSman George A. jerks OF Penn
Nylvanh would BE- offered tho post of Attorney Cen
erhl. senator George Gray. of Delaware is ont Of
the race. Nobody in New England, on the Pacific
coast, is now likely 10 he called to sit at the White
House touncboard, although John OIinccy Adams
of Massachusetts, is said to have Cabinet aspirations
In spite of contradictory utterances. Ex-senator
Carlisle is expected in the city to-day Mr.. Cleveland
and his Secretary of the Treasury will talk the
three vacancies and the successful candidates may be
announced before the wce, is over.
As the Cabinet approaches complctiOn the feeling
Of bitterness and disappointment which has permeacd
the regular Democracy of the country result of
Mr.. Clevcand's choice of Judge Gresham for sccrc-
tary of state has been intensified in hi, city and
state. The selection of Wilson : Bissell and Daniel
= Lamont satisfies the snapper Democrats that they
have nothing 10 hope for Until those appointment,
were made public by authority the Tammany iIall
men had not given up hope that good share of the
Federal Offices would be distributed among them.
Even Richard Croker's announcement that Tammany
would ask for nothing. but would give Mr. Cleveland
its earnest support all the did not depress the
braves entirely. Bun these Cabinet selections from
! Gresham down make it plain TO the most hopeful
WiSwamte that Tammsny isn't in IT," Bi,Scll',
appointment following Lannon'S is bitter dos
for the snappcrs and is generally
garded Mr.. Cevcland's plan of
throwing down the gage of battle TO the Ant.Admn
istration OF the State.
No other construction can be put upon Mr.. BlSsclr,
elevation by either senator Hill Licutcnant-Gov
crnor ehcehan. for Bissc has long been known
one OF shcchan's most determined political foes in
Bufao. The coming appointment Of Robert a. Man

the enappers with gloomy forobodingS. senator
ILL has no more mpacable foe in the state than MI
Maxwell.
"Wi the Senator lie down and permit these men
to be installed in places where they can do deadly
damage 10 him and his friends without fight p"
is question which being earnestly discussed
yesterday among the Ncw-York snapper,. The pre-
pOndcmncc Of opinion was that Nj. Hill will oppose
the cOuiI nation Of Maxwell whatever he may decide
to do in the cases Of Gresham and Bi>~cll. Those
that I'm his confidence say that he j. getting Ai,
forces I'm the senate In shape u attack Grc-hom
when his name submitted by the new President.
As 10 Maxwell the senator Is already IN posse sion
of " testimony Intended 10 prove
TO the satisfaction OF The other Democratic senators
that Mr.. Cleveland's choice for chief headSman was
repeatedly dsoyal to the Democratic cause. and there
fore be trusted with hi, peculiarly powerful
post. Hill has intention Of having the cr's0 road,
pOtoiccs placed AT MaXwrl'S disposal 10 Nrcak hi,
vengeance the snapper, II ri, can be prevented.
