WRITTEN BY ARTHUR SEwALL.
1t Was Addressed to Bryan Under
Apparent Offer to Retire.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-TWO members
of president Cleveland's Cabinet-Secretary
Carlisle and Secretary Francis-to-night

tary terms of the nominations of Messrs.
Palmer and Buckner by the Indianapolis
convention to-day and third member of
the Cabinet, Secretary Lamont. while de-
cining to be interviewed, incidentally re-
marked as to the personality of the nomi-
nees that they were good Democrats. These
are the only members of the Cabinet in
Washington at present
Secretary Carlisle expressed himself very
briefly in the following words: They are
splendid nominations, and fully meet the
expectations of the sound-money men of
the country" Further than this the Sec
rotary declined to express himself at this
time.
Secretary Francis, the newly-appointed
head of the Interior Department, declared
that the nominations were excellent ones,
that both candidates were good men, and
would make a good fight He did not
think. however. that the ticket would be
successful. In answer to a direct question
as to whether he would support the ticket,
he replied very promptly and emphatically
in the affrma tive.
Senator Faulkner. the chairman of the
mittee expressed his views of the nominal
tons in the following words: II know both
gentlemen very well. Senator Palmer is
nice old gentleman. l am fond of him per-
sonally. General Buckner represents the
blue-blood element, and is a Very fine man in
every respect. The only wisdom L see
that the boiling Democrats have exercised
in their efforts to build up Mckinley is in
selecting two persons to lead forlorn hope

Therefore, the ticket put up to-day is
doomed to disappointment. Bryan has been
