fFrlCTAI, TELIORAM TO Til DISPATCH.1
Columbus, Nov. 1L The Democratic
Committee worked on the retnrns till 11
o'clock to-night, when they locked up and
Colonel Al Carlisle left for Pittsbnrg.
Three counties are still out, which give an
estimated Bepublican plurality of 1,600.
These are Summitt, Hamilton and "Wyan
dotte. The committee claims the election
of one Presidental elector sure, and that
the official count will be required to settle
the Secretary of State contest and other
Presidental electors.
There is one phase of the result on Presi
dental electors which is likely to cut quite
a figure on the cioie vote. Blunders
throughout the State are liable to elect
Hon. James P. Seward, of Mansfield, who
headed the Cleveland electors. Many
Democrats who intended to vote the
straight ticket put their cross in front ol
Seward's came, thereby voting for him
alone.
One Republican at an Advantage.
The same is trne of the Hon. Lorenzo
Danford, of St Clairsville, who headed
the Harrison electors. The chances in
favor of Seward are enhanced because the
indications are there were more Democrats
than Republicans in Ohio who blundered.
Reference to the report of the Secretary
of State shows that last fall, on the first
trial of the Australian system in Ohio,
there were nearly 18,000 such Democratic
mistakes to only 9,000 Republican ones.
Jt is a fair presumption that the ratio will
be about the same this year, or about 2 to
X. If it is, Mr. Seward can be elected and
the rest of the Cleveland electors defeated.
The Democratic mistakes last fall in
favor of ex-Governor Campbell boosted
him ahead of his ticket, and at the same
time reduced Governor McKinley's plurality
over him by about 9,000, or the difference
between 18,000 and 9,000. For instance, the
report shows that while Governor McKin
ley received 13,000 votes more than J. K.
Richards, candidate lor Attorney General
on the Republican ticket last fall, the
latter's plurality was about 7,000 greater.
Boom for a Big Difference.
Governor McKinley's plurality was only
1,511, while Attorney General Richards'
plurality was in round figures, 28,000. The
9,000 Democratic blunders for Campbell,
over and above the Republican blunders
for McKinley, made the difference against
the latter's plurality.
This is why the Democrats and Repub
licans are both claiming the State three
days after the election. At the Demo
cratic headquarters the chiefs are figuring
on the vote for the Presidental ticket, or,
in other words, on Seward's vote, while the
Republicans are figuring on the State ticket,
or on Hon. S. M. Taylor's vote. The Dem
ocrats are claiming the election ot the Dem
ocratic electors, while the Republicans are
just as confident of S. M. Taylor's election.
Tlie Hopes of Uie Two Parties.
The Democrats hope that if Seward is
elected he will pull through the rest of the
Presidental electors and State ticket,
while on the other hand, the Republicans
believe that the election of a M. Taylor
will save the State for Harrison. There
fore Republicans and Democrats may be
perfectly sincere and honest in their re
spective claims.
If the Democrats made anywhere near
the mistakes in voting which they made
last fall, it can be easily understood how
the Democratic mathematicians could claim
the election of Seward and presume that
the other Democratic electors would follow
suit, when in fact they would iall several
thousand votes short.
The cist of the whole matter is that the
Democratic blunders may elect Seward.
There is also a possibility that in a close
vote Bepublican electors, who may have
been scratched, will be defeated when the
official returns are canvassed.
A Mixed Electoral Ticket Probable.
A mixed electoral vote in Ohio is there
fore among the probabilities. Secretary of
State Poorman is of the opinion that a
mixed electoral ticket will be electedand
the few official returns already re
ceived by him indicate as much. The
official abstracts of Marion, Knox and Craw
ford counties have been received. In these
counties Mr. Seward runs ahead of other
candidates. These returns show that 203
voters failed to post themselves on the
method of voting a straight ticket Mr.
Danford runs ahead also, and the indica
tions are that both Danford and Seward
will be elected. The Bepublican electors
who fall below Seward's vote will, of
course, be defeated.
At Bepublican headquarters at 11 p. m.,
with all but five counties officially heard
from, they claim a plurality of 1,092 for
Taylor, and think the Harrison electors
will go in by about 700 plurality, with the
probable exception of one, who will be de
feated by Seward.
The latest Returns Indefinite.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Columbus says: At midnight the Repub
lican State Committee completed their table
of pluralities, with all the counties heard
from officially with the exception of four J
and these estimated. Some corrections were
received at a late hour from Hamilton and
Cuyahoga counties, which are among those
not officially reported. These reduced the
plurality of Taylor, Republican, for Secre
tary of State, to 767, and the tahle shows
the Harrison electors to have been chosen
by 787 plurality. The committee, however,
concedes the probable election of Seward,
the elector who heads the Cleveland list.
KANSAS OUT OF PLUMB.
Only Two Congressmen Saved to tho Ke
pnbllcans Ont of the Wreck.
Toi-eka, Kas., Nov. 1L The Repub
licans of Kansas are now looking around to
see if they have really saved anything from
Tuesday's wreck. One candidate after
another who they thought had survived
the general disaster has been found to have
gone under, until now their only consola
tion is in the election of two Congressmen.
To-day the unofficial returns show that
Congressman Funston has been defeated for
re-election in the Second district, and that
the Fusionists have secured a majority of 9
on joint ballot in the Legislature. The
official count was begun all over the State
to-dav, but it will not be completed until
Monday or Tuesday of next week. The
exact complexion of the Legislature cannot
be known until that time.
A Populist majority in the Legislature of
course means the retirement of Bishop W.
Perkins from the United States Senate, to
which he was appointed by Governor Hum
phrev to serve in the place of the late Sena
tor Plumb until the Legislature should
choose his successor. The successor to Mr.
Plumb will be electld at this winter's meet
ing of the Legislature. A Populist majority
would doubtless have to choose between
Jerry Simpson and Judge John Martin.
The latter is an old-time Democrat of
Topeka. He was the chief mover in in
fluencing the Democrats to fuse with the
People's party. His chances lor election to
the Senate appear to be good.
NO INTENTION TO STEAL
If Judge Morris Has a Majority Be Will
Get the Governorship.
XewHaves, Conn., Nov. 1L Special
Chairman Benton, of the Bepublican
State Central Committee, says that he told
several of his friends yesterday that he had
information which, if true, would show that
Judge Morris is not elected Governor of
this State. Mr. Benton now says that his
information was incorrect. "The Repub
licans," says Mr. Benton, "do not intend to
attempt to steal anything. We shall wait
until the returns are all in, and if they
show that Mr. Morris has a majority we
shall not question his election in any par
ticular." Governor Morris savs: "I have little ap
prehension that the Republicans will at
tempt to question my majority this time. I
believe if it is attempted it will be the
cause for the total annihilation oi the Re
publican party in this State. I have run
for Governor three times, and each time my
plurality has more than doubled."
General Merwin says: "I believe that
Judge Morris has a majority, and if that is
so I would not countenance any attempt to
keep the seat from him."
HILL OUT FOE MTJBFBT.
The Snccessor to Senator Hiscock Chosen

Albaxt, N. y., Nov. 11. David B.
Hill's organ, the Albany Times-Union, is

well versed in political history, sagacious in
council, broadly patriotic, a lover of his
whole country, "fiee from sectionalism, and
worthy in every way to lepresent the State
of Xew York in the United States Senate.
The Legislature cannot choose a better man
for Senator than Lawara Murphy. Jr., of
Troy, and none that would give greater sat
isfaction to the whole Democratlo party of
the State.

Thinks the Party's Position on That
Issue Must Be Modified The Force BUI
Also a Handicap.
New York, Nov. 1L President Har
rison talked freely to-daj about the re
cent defeat of his party and the causes
which brought it about, says a
dispatch from Washington to the
Herald. This afternoon he disonssed not
only the recent election, but the gravity ot
the situation which now confronts the Be
publican party. v
The overwhelming defeat of the Repub
lican party, the President said, was due
mainly to the position of the party
on the tariff question. The Repub
licans had forced this issue to an
extreme, which evidently did not meet with
the approval of the people. This ex
pression of opinion on the part of
President Harrison verifies the rumor
current here some time azo that it wa3 the
party and not the President, who took such
an extreme position on the leading issues on
which the Republican campaign was to be
made. He also thought the force bill had
something to do with the result.
President Harrison has very decided
views as to the conduct ot the campaign.
He does not think very much
of Chairman Carter, of the Bepub
lican National Committee. He consented
to Mr. Carter's appointment only when it
became evident that no more acceptable
couia oe secured. tie said
the campaign had been mismanaged
and that much better results would
have been secured but for the "rainbow
chasing" soheme to which Mr. Carter gave
countenance and assistance. The
President is particularly chagrin
ned at the result in his native State,
and believes that it was largely due to the
lack ot good generalship.
The President realized before any of the
election returns came in Tuesday that he
was a defeated man. He hoped
for success until the last hour,
but admitted he had not ex
pected it One of the reasons for the
President's doubt as to his election was the
well known disaffection of a number
of the prominent leaders of his
Earty. Tnis is evidenced by
is statement with regard to Dudley, Quay
and Cameron. As to Cameron, the Presi
dent believes he not only tailed to support
the ticket, but actually did all.
in his power to defeat it.
Cameron's influence extends, like Quay's,
iar beyond the confines of Pennsylvania,
and the President evidently realized
that both these centlemen were in
a position to do much to injure
the ticket in the heretofore doubtful States
of New York and Indiana.
CALIFORNIA SHIFTS AGAIN.

San Francisco, Nov. 1L Returns up

licans have carried the State by a small

HOW INDIANA GROWS.
Cleveland's Majority Sow Over 8,000 and
Only Two Congressmen Get Away.
Indian-atoms, Nov. 11. Complete re
turns from 83 counties in Indiana show a
net Democratic gain over 1888 of 10,300,
making the Democratic plurality thus far
7,952. The remaining five counties will
probably increase this 500.
Complete official returns from the Tenth
Congressional district show the election of
Hammond, Democrat, over Johnson, Be
publican, by a plurality of 138. The Con
gressional delegation therefore consists of
11 Democrats and 2 Bepublicans.

crats will have both branches of the Legis

THE CONDITION, NOT A THEORY.
Other Things That Might Demand Atten

TARIFF KEYISI0N POSSIBLE ALSO
SPECIAL TELIOnAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Washington, Nov. 11. There is a
growing impression here that an extra ses
sion of the next Congress will be called
shortly after the inauguration of President
elect Cleveland next March. Beside the
revision of the tariff and the repeal of the
Federal election laws the most urgent rea
son requiring an immediate extra session is
the impending financial embarrassment of
the Treasurv.
Either the present Coneress must provide
increased revenues tor the expenses of the
Government, which is altogether unlikely,
or the Treasury will be obliged to default
on account of public works now authorized
by law, such as new ships, fortifications,
coast defenses and river and harbor im
provements, in order to piovide for the
payment of pensions, and this latter alter
native seems as unpromising as the first.
Consequently an extra session of the newly
elected Fifty-third Congress is apt to be
convened to meet the emergency.
The Situation In a Nutshell.
The situation can be stated in a few
words. The total appropriations author
ized by the late session of Congress for the
fiscal year ending June 30 next, together
with the permanent appropriations, amount
to 5507,600,188 71, while the revenues esti
mated by the Treasury Department for the
same fiscal year are computed at only
5455,336,350 44. thus foreshadowing a de
ficit ot 552,000,000. But in addition to
this there will be a big deficiency on ac
count of pensions, even on the basis of the
liberal appropriations granted by the late
session of Congress for the present fiscal
year.
From the monthly Treasury statement
of receipts and expenditures, issued Novem
ber 1, it appears that $52,049,000 has been
spent for pensions during the first four
months of the present fiscal year the four
months lust past since Julyl an increase
of $16,000,000 over the corresponding four
months ot the last fiscal year, 1892. Allow
ing that the rate of expenditure should re
main the same, the total excess ot pension
expenditures this venr over those of last
would be 548,000,000. The appropriations
out of which these expenditures must be
made, though, are only 512,000,000 greater
this year than the expenditures for last
year, so that the prospective pension defi
ciency canuot'well.faU' below 530,000,000.
An Approprt3tIonSoonto Be Exhausted.
The averase'monthly payments for pen
sions on the basis of the first four months of
this fiscal year are 513,000,000, and conse
quently the present appropriation would be
exhausted before the end of the third quar
ter, or near the close of next March. An
appropriation to meet this deficiency would
of course still further swell, by its amount,
the deficit already foreshadowed of 552,000,
000, that being the extent of the discrepancy
between the estimated reveuues and the ap
propriations made.
No doubt the second session of the pres
ent Corigress would provide an appropria
tion lor the pension deficiency, but it is not
likely that any steps will be taken at that
session to provide increased revenues to
meet it. Therefore Mr. Cleveland, when he
takes charge of the Government on the 4th
of March, will be confronted with a de
pleted treasury, and in addition, with a
budget of outstanding fixed liabilities
amounting to at least 575.000,000 or 585,-
UUO.UUU.
Should an extra session ot the new Con
gress be called to revise the tariff and de
vise new means of revenue, the very fact of
its sitting for that purpose will serve as a
notice to all importing interests at home
and abroad to wait before making further
extensive importations until reduced
schedules are formulated and put into exe
cution, so that the result will ba to greatly
reduce, lor a time at least, the Government
receipts from customs.
A Gness That Is Awfully Oft
In that event the Treasury Department's
guess at 5455,000,000 as the probable reve
nues for the fiscal year 1893, based as it was
upon the assumption of a continuance of the
McKinley tariff law, will be thrown out of
line by many millions in excess of the reali
zation as it will eventuate, and this loss of
expected revenue will necessarily largely
increase the vast hole already apparent in
the Treasury, thus making the necessity of
new customs legislation, when once agitated,
doubly imperative.
On the other hand, expressions of grave
doubt are heard here and there at the wis
dom of summoning an extra session under
the prevailing circumstances, inasmuch as
it would have an undoubted tendency to
disturb the industrial interests of the coun
try, and at the same time to hamper the
newlv-inautrurated President through the
I importunities of crowds of officeseekers and
politicians who would naturally be drawn
to Washington in greater numbers than
otherwise by the sitting of Congress in con
junction with the change in the national
administration.
The question is also discussed whether It
would not be possible, by wise management
on the part of the administration and co
operative action by the present House of
Bepresentatives, to postpone certain large
and pressing obligations of the Govern
ment, and thus avoid an extra session on
the score of the Treasury stringency, and in
addition to arrange for the appointment of
a sort of nunc-pro-tuno commission, com
posed of members-elect to the next House
havintr experience on tariff matters, to sit
during the months intervening between ad
journment in March and the following De
cember, and report a perfected tariff bill on
the organization of the next House.
Farther Reasons for an Extra Session.
In harmonv with past traditions and
present practice, such a commission could
readily be appointed by the Speaker of the
present House from members-elect to the
next House.
From an extreme partisan standpoint
there are further reasons for calling an
extra session. It is said the President has
decided to extend the civil service regula
tions so as to include the Bureau of En
graving and Printing and the office of the
Public Printer. Such a move would leave
the Democrats but little patronage at their
disposal when they take possession of the
Government next March, A reorganization
of the Senate and House of Bepresentatives
will follow immediately instead of being
delayed for nearly a year.
There are many rieh plums at the disposal
of the Senate especially, upon which Demo
crats are already feasting their eyes. A

NOT A LONG MESSAGE
Expected From the President, Under the
Present Circumstances.
Washington, Nov. 11. The President
has begun the preparation of his annnal
message to Congress on the state of the
country. The three weeks left to him for
its consideration will undoubtedly prove
more than enough time for the purpose. It
is extremely improbable that he will devote
much space to the questions which have
made up the policy of the present adminis
tration. The message will therefore be shorter
and less significant than usual, and will
probably contain nothing beyond a review
of the work of the administration during
the past year and a brief reiteration of the
President's well-known views on the politi
cal issues of the day.
A DYING MAN INSURED
Without His Knowledse and by Forgery
for the Benefit of Four Conspirators
Two of Them Clergyman One Plotter
Who Is Cheated Squeals.
St. John, N. B., Nov. 1L The grave
yard insurance case, in which the jury
found C B. Welton and Dr. Edward C.
Bandall guilty, but could not agree upon
a verdict regarding Bev. Sidney Welton,
was one of the most sensational
ever brought before a New Brunswick
court Bev. Sidney Welton is pastor of
the Main Street Baptist Church in this city
and also agent for the Total Abstinence In
surance Company of Chicago. C B. Wel
ton, his brother, is an insurance agent, but
was. formerly a Baptist minister, and Dr.
Bandall ds a prominent physician of Hills
borough. All three were arrested September 29 on
information of John W. Turner, charged
with conspiracy to defraud the Total Ab
stinence Company by insuring the life of a
sick man named William H. Bead
last year for 53,000. Dr. Bandall
gave a certificate of his good health.
Turner, in his information, stated that he
believed the signature to the application
purporting to be that of W. H. Bead was
not his signature. Another policy of 52,500
had been obtained on Bead's life in the
Golden Bule Alliance Company, of Boston,
in the same manner. Bead was attended
during his illness by Dr. Bandall, and died
shortly after the applications were made
for policies.
During the trial of the accused, Gideon
Bead, brother of the insured man, corrobo
rated tho charges against the brothers
Welton, and his testimony was, to some ex
tent, against himself. He admitted that he
accepted 5500 to conceal from his brother's
widow the fact that 52,500 insurance had been
obtained in the Golden Bule Alliance on his
life, and to make her believe there was only
81,000. After the arrest of the Weltons and
Bandall, Gideon Bead learned that he had
been their dupe, they having obtained a
S3.000 policy on his brother's lite in the
Total Abstinence Insurance Company. This
led him to expose the transaction.
RANDALL DIED POOR.
Not Enough Surplus of Ills Estate Left to
Pay the Costs of Accounting.
Philadelphia, Nov. 1l Samuel J.
Bandall, Pennsylvania's great commoner,
died a very poor man how poorin worldly
goods was not known until to-day. Mrs.
Fannie W. Bandall, widow and administra
trix of the estate, to-day filed an answer in
the Orphans' Court to proceedings brought
by a creditor of the estate to compel an ac
counting. Mrs. Bandall simply said in the answer

MAJOR M'KINLEY'S FUTURE.
It May Be Passed In Pittsburg Bumor
in Cincinnati lias It That the Governor
Is Anxious to Besmne the Law and Se
cure the Practice of Justice Shiras.
Cincinnati, Nov. 11. Special It has
been an open secret here for a long time
that Governor McKinley is not pleased with
his position. Its duties are irksome, and
the constant fight of the factions irritates
him. It was said some time ago, and widely
believed, that he had decided to retire at
the end of the term and seek to enter Con
gress. The recent overwhelming Demo
cratic triumph has, it is now said, con
vinced him that he is out of it for four and
perhaps eight yean .
He has an opportunity to acquire a maj
nificent law practice and gain a new citi
zenship in a great city and State. Owine
to the entanglements oi the late Senatorial
fight he will always have a strong faction
to" fight in Ohio, and it is therefore believed
by many here that the report telegraphed
to this city this evening that he will resign
as soon as the Legislature meets and re
move to Pittsburg is true. In connection
with this rumor it was said that Major Mc
Kinley was to succeed to the practice of
Justice Shiras.
George Shiras III. was seen last night
concerning the rumor. He denies it and is
at a loss to know how such a story would
get into circulation. "I did not know that
Governor McKinley was in town Thursday
until I saw it in yesterday's papers," said
he. "If the Governor were to take charge
of my father's practice I would certainly
know of it. Mr. McKinley is no doubt
greatly disappointed over Bepublican de
feat and possiblv it is his intention to re
tire from public life. It may be that he
has chosen Pittsburg as his "future leeai
field, bat if he has Iknow nothing of it."
COTTON GOODS ADVANCED
As a Direct Result of the Re-EIertlon
of
Grover Cleveland.
Philadelphia, Nov. 11. The prices of
many cotton goods, it is stated, hare ad
vanced within the last 21 hours, as a direct
consequence of Tuesday's election. W. W.
Foulkrod, of Hood, Foulkrod & Co., when
questioned to-day regaraing the report,
said:
"A number of staple cotton goods had
quite an advance yesterday and to-day. We
uavu notices cms morning irom some oi tne
largest Eastern mills or a rise in price of
some of the most stable cotton goods mnde."
"what significance has the advance?"
"In cotton goods, anv kind of an advance
13 a largo advantage, because both cotton
itself and all classes of cotton goods have
been selling very low the past season."
"How uo you account for the advance?"
"Well, to state it plainly, the people have
a feeling of confidence in the election or Mr.
Cleveland. The election was so decidedly
one-sided that all are assured as to the wis
dom of the change. The feeling before
Tuesday was that If Mr. Harrison was re
elected there would be a big boom. I know
or many contemplated additions to mills,
etc., in this event. A rise in the price of all
manufactured goods was looked for. A big
advance was expected. But every business
man knows the history of booms. The re
action that is bound to follow always more
than counterbalances the advantages gained
by the boom."
"Has there been any change In tho price
of woolen goodet"
"Xo, there has not. Ton see, except
through the law or supply and demand,
which l emulates all prices, there can be no
Change in time lor spring business."
SERIOUS AT SAMOA.
Uncle Sam "Will Send a Vessel There
to
Look After His Bights.
Washington, Nov. 11. Advices re
ceived from Samoa are to the effect that
the difference between the two factions on
the islands headed by MaKaafa, the recog
nized King, and by Malietoa, the claimant
to the throne, have reached an acute phase.
To fully protert the interests of the United
States it has been decided that a naval
vessel should be sent there at the earliest
practical moment Beside this, based on
expediency, it appears that under the terms
of the tripartite treaty the United States is
under obligation to keep a naval vessel at
Samoa. There has been no United States
naval vessel there tor many months, the
Iroquois being the last to call.
The Alliance, now at Honolulu with the
Boston, was under orders to Samoa, bnt
these orders were countermanded to-day,
probably because of the critical condition
of Hawaiian politics. It is the present in
tention to send in her place the Banger,
recently in the Bering Sea. If will require
a month's time to prepare the vessel and
another month or six weeks for the passage,
so she will not be able to reach Samoa be
fore next year.
DIBECT0BS F0S SUNDAY OPENING.

CniCAGO, Nov. 1L At the regular meet
ing of the World's Fair Directors this aft

opening of the World's Fair gates on Sun
day provided that the machinery be not

nations ot the earth have been invited to

teous and inhospitable to inform them
that they cannot do on Sunday what they
would do were they at home.
The directors say they are in favor of al
lowing every nation to hold within the
grounds such religious services as it may
desire on Sunday. They also think it de
sirable that the gates should be open to al

11 CABINET TO MAKE
And New Yorkers Predict
That Cleveland Will
Fashion It Himself.
HE KNOWS HOW TO DO SO,
Having Been There Before He Will
Have Les3 Trouble Than
A HAN TRYING IT THE FIRST TIME.
Bepublicans at Headquarters Say if Thej
Bad It to Do igaiu
THEI'D STICK TO THE M'EISLET BILL
tSFXCXU. TXI.EOEAX TO THE DISPATCH.!
New York, Nov. 1L The two national
headquarters on Fifth avenue will be
closed to-morrow. The victorious Demo
cratic chieftains will each take the desks at
which they worked during the campaign
and ship them to their homes, to be kept as
souvenirs of the victory. These desks and
ink wells, pens and paperweights will ba
heirlooms in the families of the committee
men. The Bepublicans talked with to-day said
that if they had to go through it again they
would still stick to the McKinley tariff law.
The warnings of the Bepublicans who ex
pect the Democratic party to trifle with the
great power which has come to them are
well appreciated by Mr. Whitney, Senator
Gorman, Speaker Crisp and all the leaders
of the party who are fully alive to the
situation.
Certain people began to-day to discuss the
ex-President's prospective Cabinet. Major
Jones, of the St Louis Republic, h in the
field as a candidate for a portfolio. The
Major has not selected the place he would
like to fill. His friends in New York,
though, are working for him.
Cleveland His Own Cabinet Slaker.
Some of those close to Mr. Cleveland have
recalled that from being a most ardent sup
porter of the ex-President, Major Jones in
May last joined the opposition and in
sisted that a Western candidate should be
named at Chicago. The Maior was opposed
by a great many Western Democrats, par
ticularly Governor Francis, of Missouri.
It was said to-day that the ex-President,
in making up bis Cabinet, would not regard
any personal opposition that had been made
to his candidacy. At the proper time, it
was added, he will make up his Cabinet
with gentlemen entitled to represent the
best interests of the Democratic party, and
due allowance will be made for the usual
geographical distinctions. It was said,
however, that Governor Francis and others
will endeavor to prevent the appointment
of Major Jones to'a portfolio.
Naturally there was a good deal of gossip
concerning the prospects of Mr. Whitney.
The ex-Secretary's services in this campaign
are appreciated by every Democrat, high
and low. He is very popular with the Dem
ocrats. He made a signal success as Secre
tary of the Navy.
Whitney the Best of Them.
Mr. Whitney was probably the best all
round Cabinet officer Mr. Cleveland hid,
and his status as a political tactician, after
the campaign he has passed through, cannot
be disputed. He does not want to go into
the Cabinet, though. A number of Mr.
Whitney's friends would like to have him "
sent to the Court of St James.
One point Mr. Whitney has made clear,
and that is that Mr. Cleveland will select
his Cabinet himself. The ex-President has
had tour years' experience, and this will be
valuable to him in making his choice.
An interestine story was told to-day of
the troubles of Presidents-elect in selecting
their Cabinets. General Harrison arrived
in Washington three days before his in
auguration. He had been at the Arlington
Hotel only a few hours when Colonel La
mont, President Cleveland's Private Secre
tary, called, bearing Mr. Cleveland's iuvi
vation to dinner at the White House that
evening. Mr. Cleveland an hour later
called and personally invited his successor
to dine with him.
Cleveland Cheered Up Harrison.
Mr. and Mrs. Harrison accepted the in
vitation, and during the dinner General
Harrison told of the difficulties which had
confronted him in making up his Cabinet
So many claims had been precipitated upon
him, so many political rocks and shoals had
confronted him, that General Harrison was
downcast over it
Mr. Cleveland cheered him up, saying:
"General, that is the least ot your troubles.
It will soon he over. Other and greater
difficulties will confront you, so let us be
happy, and I wish you personally a most
successful administration."
Mr. Cleveland spent a busy day at his
house at 12 West Fifty-first street to-day.
He received many telegrams of congratula
tion and a few callers. Among the latter
was Hon. Patrick A. Collins, of Boston.
Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland went out to dinner,
and callers at the house to-night were in
formed that they were not at home.
A wild rumor from the West struck town
about 5:30 to-day. It was to the effect that
Mr. Cleveland had suddenly dropped dead.
Although the story was not credited, there
was a rush of callers at Mr. Cleveland's
house who wanted to be assured positively
that he was alive.
