CHICAGO MAN FOR THE TREASURY.
Lyman j. Gage Said to Have Been Urged
for That Place.

From Cleveland came the story that
Lyman ]. Gage, OF Chicago, is the latest
addition to the president-elect's official
family. He will probably be. It is said,
secretary CT the treasury. \ gentle
man in Cleveland as conversant with
the situation as any one can be out
side of Major Mckinley himself OF his
confidential advisers. said that Gage
was being considered for the position.
and that his friends were urging his
apointemenpt. 1t was further stated
that Major Mckinley had sent an cmis-
sary to see Gage at his home in Chicago
and ascertain whether or not the lat
ter would accept the portfolio IL ten
dered him. The source from which the
authority for the statement comes Is
beyond question. Further strength to
the statement is added. IL such he possi-
BILE, from the fact that Senator Cullom.
who has been considered for the place
has been dropped. 1. being the desire of
Major Mckinley to have Cullom remain
in the senate.as there is no telling what
might turn up should the Mckinley
forces in Illinois attempt to replace him.
with the present legislature SO badly
torn up.
Although there is no authority for
the statement that any friend Of Pres
ident-elect Mckinley has gone to Chi
cago to confer with Lyman j. Gage in
reference to his taking the treasury
portfolio. it is believed here that there
have been Chicagoans in Canton aivo-
eating Cages qualifications and claims
for rrepresenta tion in the cabinet. Neither
National Committeeman Charles c..
Dawes, Judge Grosscup nor Treasurer
L. A. Walton. of the Security Trust

rumors about Gage and the treasury
portfolio. Dawes and Walton have re-
turned to Chicago. Judge Grosscur ar
