WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Inside Chicago
advices are 10 the effect that Lyman j.
Cages appointment to the treasury port
folio is an absolute certainty. though opin-
ion on that point is divided In Washington.
The Illinois delegation in Congress is de-
cidedy sore over the prospect. Senator
Culom has not been consulted and was
himself an aspirant for the place. Not
member of the lower branch of Congress
had a hint of Major McKinley's intention.
Serious and possibly fatal objections are be-
ing raised against Mr.. Gage on the ground
that it would be poor politics" 10 put
national banker at the head of the Treasury
Department and a man of extremely mod
crate protection views, though the Chicago
financier seems to have dissrmed criticism
on that point, in a great measure, by his
declaration in to-day's papers. No one
questions Mr.. Cages eminent fitness and
qualification for the position, but he has
never trained with the boys and his polit-
ical experience has been in the upper alti-
tudes.
A dispatch from Canton says: Two very
conflicting stories are in circulation with
reference TO the appointment of Lyman j.
Gage, of Chicago, to the treasury portfolio.
From Chicago comes the word that Mr..
Gage admits that he has been informally
rendered the post of secretary of the treas
ury, and that the directors of his bank held
a meeting this afternoon TO decide whether
Mr. Gage could be spared from Chicago.
On the other hand, / am assured on good
authority that no tender has been made to
Mr. Gage; in fact, that there is nothing in
the rllmor of his appointment and accept
ance further than he has been for some
time under consideration. Since the matter
of Mr.. Cages appointment has been agi-
tated strong feeling has developed against
him. His alleged free-trade tendencies, and
the fact that he voted each time for Mr.
Cleveland, have been speedily grasped by
the Western leaders of the party as ire
futable arguments against the appointment
