will be large number Of competitors for
the contract, and in order that they may

pared for all who desire them, and furnish
them at the act uaI cost reproduction, which

"The Presidents Cabinet promises to

Western Senator yesterday. 1T seems
probable that there will not be u man
among tile new Presidents advisers who
will be as young as. the new President
himself, and Mckinley is not the spring
chicken that some of his Autographs show
him to be. Let ME see. Mckinley will be
fifty-tlree when he is inaugurated. This
is two years younger than Harrison was
at the beginning of mis- administration. ami
FIVE years older than Cleveland at the
commencement Of his first term, Mckinley
is older than either Grant, Garfield or
Arthur were when they became Presi-
dent Yet all these Presidents had had
young men among-their advisers. 1t looks
very much as If Mckinley was going to
give US paleoZmo, prize package OF u
Cabinet. Sherman is a political chestnut
indeed. Why, he helped to nominate Zach.
ary Taylor for President fifty years ago.
And there is Cullom, who will get the

three and Cullom is nearly seventy. ALI
son, who was the first man Mckinley
offered job, is sixty-eight. The young
est man Eave heard mentioned for the
Cabinet is Goff, and he is older than Nc
Kinley. When you remember that no
member of the present Presidents Cabinet
when the administration began was beyond
ills early sixties, and at least one was
still in his thirties, it is easy TO see that
Mckinley believes in old men for counsel
