would do honor to any Cabinet ever Sc
lected. But the great difficulty was to
get the senator to agree.
The strongest kind of arguments were
brought to bear on him. both personal
and political. 1t was pointed out that
Gov. Tanner was such heavy load for
the Republicans of Illinois to carry that
he might swamp the party and give IL
linois to the Democrats in the next Pres
idential election, while in the Senate he
would be out of the way of those who
resent the Doodle practice in politics. He
would be appointed by the present lieu-
tenant governor and be reelected by
the legislature in 1901. On the other hand
Senator Cullom was warned as Senator
Sherman had been two years before that
his own reelection was by no means
certain. There wouldiibe many contes-
tants for his seat, and if the aggregate
wealth of the party behind the deal
should be thrown against him, or. as it
was automatically put, If this party
should be convinced that some other can
didate was more available.
Senator Cullom seriously objected to
all this, but the combination was too
powerful for him to carelessly under
take to oppose. He took the matter un-
der advisement. He Is still considering
It, and will continte to do so until Sec
retary Bliss presents his resignation.
But when the time comes he may accept,
much against his will. as Secretary
Sherman accepted a Cabinet post in or

Secretary of the Interior.
Senator Cullom for Secretary OF the
Interior. Gov. Tanner for United States
Senator. and Lieut.. Gov. ,Northcote for
governor of Illinois; this is the attractive
program that has been prepared by the
delegation of rich Illinois politicians who
came to this city last week. Whether it
will go through or not depends entirely
upon Senator Cullom.
The important men who are engineer
ing the program are all interested either
financially or politically in the iron and
steel trust. They are J. w. Gates,
Isaac Elwood, James Lambert, Col.
Drake, Dr. Jameson and Gov. Tanner,
all we'll known In Illinois. II not in the
East. They came to this city about a
week ago and issued invitations to all
the Chicago members and Illinois repre-
sentatives except Congressman Boutell
and Foss to meet them in grand re-
Cancellation banquet at Chamberlin's.
where the hatchet was to be buried and
the braves agreed to dwell together in
peace and amity, forgetful of the man
ner in which they had reached for each
others scalps in the recent past. Foss
and Boutell were omitted because they
did not train with the machine.
What subjects were discussed at the
banquet has not transpired, but the Wis t.
ors started downtown for the o'clock

Monday apparently well satisfied. On the
way to the station one of them bought
an Evening Times and saw the first an
nouncement OF the intended resignation
of Secretary Bliss. At once an excited
talk ensued which ended in the party
securing private Pullman car at the
station and going into executive sess on
therein until midnight, when they de-
parted for New York. In the meantime,
messengers had been sent flying over the
city calling in the boys and a grand pow
WOW had been held at which the above
plan was outlined.

could get the parties to this program to
agree to 1t, there would be no difficulty
