The Presideut-elect has about COM
pleted his cabinet by the selection of
James A. Gary, of Ellicott City, Md,
and J. J. McCook, of New York City.
There is still some uncertainty as TO
few individual positions, but this is
now ouly minor consideration. The
selection of Mr.. Gary, of Maryland,
was made after the most earnest So
licitations of Hon. George l.. Yelling
ton, the Republican leader of Mary
land. He certainly has worked for
this appointment and he got it. 1t
looks like Mr.. Mckinley intends to
recognize those men who assisted him
to gain the position he so proudly
occupies, Mr.. Cleveland's failure to
do this has produced somewhat dis
astrous effect among the rank and file
upon whose shoulders the most of the
hard campaign work falls. The APP
pointment of Mr.. Gary is an honor to
Maryland and all will congratulate the
fortunate Postmaster General-elect
upon his good fortune.
James Albert Gary is widely-kuown
manufacturer of Baltimore and has
been prominent in Republican politics
since 1870, when he was nominated for
Congress in the Fifth Maryland Dis
trict. In 1879 the Republicans noal1-
mated him for Governor. Mr.. Gary
failed of election, although he made an
active canvass.
He has been Maryland delegate to
every National Convention of his party
since 1872, and from 1880 to 1896 repre-
sented his State upon the Republican
National Committee.
Mr.. Gary was torn in Uncasville,
Conn.,, in 1888, of English descent. He
was taken TO Baltimore as Toy, and
was educated at Rock Hill Institute,
Ellicott City, Md. In 1860 he was ad-
mitted TO partnership in the firm of
James S. Gary & Son, manufacturers
of cotton duck, twills, ETC., and since
the death of his father, in 1870, has
been the head of the firm.
In business Mr.. Gary has been high
ly successful. He owns valuable cotton
duck mills i'll Howard and Baltimore
Counties, Md. He is also largely in
terested III financial and other busi-
ness corporations in Baltimore. For
several years he was President of the
Merchants and Manufacturer Asso-
citation, and is now Vice-President of
the Consolidated Gas Company and
| Nice'President of the Citizens National
Bank. He also holds directorships in
several other organizations.
John j. McCook is a well known
New Yorker and is prominent In Re-
publican politics. New York is thus
properly recognized for her part in
the last campaign. IT'S pretty little
game of policy and how it will work
depends much upon circumstances.
1t surely is black cloud that has no
silver lining.
