President Harrison wanted to make him sec
rotary Of state, and he would not have the
appointment. 1t has been reported that
since Cornelius Vanderbilt was stricken with
paralysis Mr.. Depews relations with the New
York Central have not been as close as they
were; that w. K. Vanderbilt, who is now the
chief representative of the controlling inter-
est, does not like the wey Mr.. Depew figures
as the proprietor of the road. Possibly that
may change the point of view of Mr.. Depew
as he looks towards the presidents cabinet.
and perhaps he will take at the hands of Mr.
Mckinley what he would not have from Mr..
Harrison, if he can get it. This is especially
likely if W. X. Vanderbilt takes the presi-
dency Of the New York Central, as it is now
rumored that he intends to do. There are
other notable New Workers besides Mr.. De-
pew and Mr.. Bliss. There is Gen. Horace
Porter, who was one of Grants aids, and
who knows the military service by heart.
There is Col. Fred Grant, who was made min

Missouri is out of the running. The Ker-

therefore no one to reward. Kansas, too,
probably lost her chance of representation
with the loss of the electoral VOTE though the

of appointment. Thurston, of Nebraska,
could probably have place if the governor
of the state was Republican. Ex-senator
Henderson is handicapped because he was in
the anti Mckinley combine.

did so much work in the campaign. He is
