Canton. Ohio. Feb. 2.-Callers came to the
| home Of the Presdent-elect to-day in groups
! Of two and four, and eight and even ten There
were more than hundred visitors from dis
| lance, and they all saw Major Mckinley and
| had word with him. Three candidates for the
/ cabinet were urged by their friends. The
! largest. and most influential delegation in the
! interests of a Cabinet possibility was the one
| which came to urge the appointment OF Major
| William Warner OF Kansas City. In the dele
cation were c. y. Walbridge, Mayor Of ST. Louis:
ID. p. Dyer Of 81. Louis; Major J. L. Bitinger.
! or ST. Joseph: Gardiner Lathrop, Of Kansas
City. and Mayor p D. Houstain. Of Sedalia.
! Both the Kerens and Filley wings Of the party
were represented in tne delegation. and it was
suggested that the selection Of Major Warner
for the Cabne' would unite the Republicans of
Missouri and destroy every trace Of the fatal
factiogal bitterness that has existed for many
years. Endorsements OF Major Warmers cam
ddacy were presented from the Legislatures Of
Missouri. Kansas. Texas and Indiana Major
Warner is being pressed for Secretary OF the In
terror or AttOrncy-GeneraL
The chances are that Judge Joseph McKenna,
of California. will he Secretary of the Interior.
He has accepted a Cabinet Office. and the under
standing is that il is TO be the portfolio Of the
Interior but Major Mckinley said to-day the
final cast Of his Cabinet had not been made. and
he could not tell what changes in the assign
mcnts to the various portfolios Ght have to be
made. 1t may he that when the names are sent
to the Senate on March >. that Of Judge Nc
Kenna will be opposite the portfolio of Justice.
1t is also likely that ex- Governor Long of
. t1n
Navy. 1t is impossible to tell what place he
may have till all of the Cabinet officers Sc
lected. There are still two vacant places in the
Cabinet. and there is no reason to think either
of them will be filled before the end Of next
week.
The knowledge that Judge Golf is unable to &C
ccpt a place in Major McKinleys Cabinet has
caused The friends Of some of the Southern can
didates to take fresh hope. A renewed effort
Is being made iii behalf OF James a. Gary, OF
Baltimore. He is supported by a number Of in
nuential politicians in all Of the Southern States
except two. and there IS a great deal to be said
in his favor but it is not thought that Major
Mckinley will select Maryland man. one rea-
son is that there is active opposition within
the State to every one who has been suggested.
There has been another Maryland possibility
under discussion here for several days. Judge
Lewis McComas. of Hagerstown, on the bench
of the District OF Columbia. but Senator Wei
lington is understood 10 be opposed to him, ana,
as he already has agreeable office, 1t IS not
likely that the PTesideLt-elect Will be DIS
posed to invite him into his Cabinet. though he
thinks extremely we'll of him. There is no one
In sight at present among the Southern Repub-
licans who seems to be available for Cabinet
purposes, and by many 1t is deemed extremely
probable that Major Mckinley viii have no rep,
resentative from that section in his Oilclal
family when It is finally made up.
The State of New-York may bc treated IN n
similar way if some first-class man cannot ne
found against whose appointment theie 10 ho' "
