The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-12-07

there He fought Mckinley in the early days
of the campaign. but his famous trip to Can
ton no doubt made his peace with the Ohio
man before the st. Louis convention met.
There is general belief that he will be sec
rotary of war secretary Of the navy.
Chauncey M. Depew is likely to be New
Yorks representative in the cabinet.
hear that he wants to be secretary of state.
President Harrison wanted to make him
rotary OF state, and he would not have the
appointment It has been reported that
since Cornelius Vanderbilt was stricken with
paralysis Mr.. Depew's relations with the New
York Central have not been 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
and perhaps he will take at the hands of Mr.
Mckinley what he would not have from Mr.
Harrison, II 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 mn
lister to Austria by Harrison on the strength
of his family name. Warner Miller would
give one of his ears to be in the cabinet
but he is barred out offensive parti-
san Of the anti-Platt stripe l doubt not
that Mr.. Plat himself would welcome the
treasury portfolio, which he expected Harri-
son to give to him; but his appointment
would be affront to the Original McKin-
ley men," Levi P. Morton could be in
duced to go into the cabinet, what luster
he would shed the social life Of the new
administration! He still owns that fine
house in Washington.
Benjamin Harrison Is quite eligible, and it
would not be any more undignifed fer him
to accept a cabinet place than 1t for John
Quincy Adams to become congressman. But
Mckinley and Harrison are not friends and
only public pressure would make the one
offer or the other accept an appointment.
Missouri is out Of the running. The Ker-
ens-Filley snarl settled the question OF get
ting any good ont Of that state, and there is
therefore no one to reward. Kansas too
probably lost her chance Of representation
with the loss of the electoral vote, though the
spectacular ingalls, may have remote chance
Of appointment. Thurston, of Nebraska
could probably have place if the governor
Henderson is handicapped because he was in
the anti Mckinley combine.
In Wisconsin there Is Henry G. Payne who
did so much work in the campa gn. He is
sofa Ex-Governor Merriam and Senator Cush-
man K Davis are the lkeliest cabinet timber
Davis was one Of the candidates with preEna-
ture booms year ago. In the far West
there is little chance for candidates, unless
Maj. Mckinley should think it wise to reward
the good work done in CalifornE by making
young Spreckels one Of his adyA rs.
Illinois has a strong candidate I'm Mr.. Dawes,
and it is said S. w. Allerton would like to be
secretary Of agriculture but it is thought
quite likely Mai. Mckinley will offer 4 cabinet
place to Gen. John NJ. Palmer. Indiana has
Gen. Lew Wallace who was q conspicuous
Original Mckinley man. Michigan presents.
Kentucky puts forward Gov. Bradley, who is.
not however, a strong poss. bill ty, and in
West Virginia there is N. b. Scott. Of the
tonal executive committee Ohio BUBBLES over
with cabinet possibilities, chief among them.
