AI m BE SENATOR SHERMAN FOR THE CABINET Will, Without Doubt, Be Made Secre tary of State. ALGER WILL BE OFFERED A PLACE Sonntor Allison Out of the ltnco--His louii I'ricmls Think He Would lie Unwise to Accept u lortlbllo--31r Diugluy Takes illoru Interest in Tin ill Tlmii in the Secretaryship. A Western Possibility. Washington, Jan. 7 Cabinet gossip was 1I el at the capltol today. The tepoit was levlved eaily this inotnlng that the poitfollo of state had been tendeted to Senator Shetinan and this staited a geneial discussion of the SENATOR JOHN SHBRMAN, Who Will in All Piobiblllty lie President Elect McKinley's Secretary of State. merits of a number of gentlemen who hae been "mentioned" in connection with cabinet honors Many well ln foimed members of the hoube and sen ate belive that Mr. Sheiman will be Mr. Olney's successor in the state depart ment. It Is known that Senator Alli son will not accept the appointment. Those who assume to rellect Mr. Sher man's views maintain that he has no cabinet ampliations, and that he would piefer to remain In the senate. But Major McKlnley, it is said, has de termined that if Senator Allison will not accept the piemlershlp of his ad mlnstratlon, Senator Sheiman must nnd it is also 'thought the latter Is. un willing to disappoint him. ALLISON'S POSITION. Senator Allison was recently re elected for another term of six yeais beginning, the fourth of March next. Ills position as chairman, of the appro priations committee gives him great piominence in the senate nnd his Iowa ft lends think he would be veiy unwise to exchange a position for which he Is so admirably qualified for the fleeting gloiies of a cabinet portfolio. The same considerations are thought laigely to Influence Repiesentatlve Dlngley, of Maine. Mr. Dinglej is re lath el j as piomlnent in the house as Mr. Sheiman of Mr Allison ate in the senate. Just at piesent, he is more Intel ested in the pieparatlor. of a tat Iff bill than in the secietatyshlp of the tieasury with which popular report has coupled his name. Few, If any, of ills fi lends, believe that he can be in duced to enter the cabinet and he has also ceased to be a factor In the specu lations rebpectlng Its personnel. Some of the western membets be lieve that Judge McKehna, of Cali fornia, will be invited to fill the olllce of attorney general or secietaiy of the Inteilor. Mr. Hanna Is still iegaided as a cabinet possibility, although his Ohio ft lends maintain that he has no nspliatlon in that dltection and only desltes a s-eat in the senate. ALGER IS MENTIONED. New Yoik, Jan. 7. Ueneial Alger, of Michigan Is at the Fifth avenue hotel. He has been mentioned foi the cabinet, and theie aie those who say he will ALGER. suiely bo offerd a portfolio. The gen eial would not talk on the subject of the cabinet today. He was questioned about Michigan affairs. Goveinoi Plngiee Is also the mavor of Dutioit, and as yet has not lesigned either place. "Can't the governor hold both places?" he was asked. "Lawyeis in Detiolt tell me there Is nothing In the conttltution of the state to prevent him fiom being governor and mayor at the same time. It was never Imagined that such a contin gency would ailso whenythe constitu tion was being fiamed. Governor Pln giee has only been chief executive of the state a few days, and theiefore has not had time to see how easy or how difficult It will be to run the two olilces at once. It is reported that he has said he Intends to 1111 both of fices. The governor Is a very active and energetlo man and generally does what he attempts to do. It is true the capital of Michigan, Lansing, is some eighty-five miles from Detroit, but it does not take long to got that distance on a fast train." The general said thnt the Improve ment In business In his section was gradual, but sure. Washington, Jan. 7. Senator Allison reached Washington this mornlg, but did not go to the cnpltol until four a Jr - v5R ' riUSSIILL A. o'clock when he went to nttcnit a meet ing of the steering committee. Dining lii session politics were discussed und while Mr. Allison did not tell his col leagues in so many words, he gavo them veiy clearly to understand that he would not become a member of the McKlnley cabinet. DINOLKY WILL, NOT ACCEPT. Kalamazoo, Mich., Jan. 7, The Dally Telegiaph, which Is published by N. Dlngley, a son of Congiessman Ding ley, publishes the following dispatch fiom Washington toduv: It can he stated definitely that Con giessman Dlngley, chnlinian of the ways and means committee, has decided not to accept a cabinet position. lie was offeicd the place of societal y of the treasuiy by Piesldent-clect McKlnley and given time to consider It. Gre.it pleasure has been brought to have him accept It, but he has definitely de cided not to take the place. Ills piosent duties are much moie congenial to him, furthermoie, ho fe.tis the niduous du ties of the treasuiy poitfollo would so llously Impair his health. FIRST STATE DINNER. President and Airs.

POINTS OUT MANY SHORTCOMINGS Siijs It Is Impossible to Keep I!i nicttillists nud (iold Standard Atlio cntcs in ttio Sumo Organization. Bolting Democrats, However, Who Aro Penitent, Will Itu Welcomed Into the Bimetallic l'old. Chicago, Jan. 7. William J. Bryan was the guest of the Biynn leaguo at a big banquet given tonight at the Tre tnon House In celebration of the niinl veisary of Andiew Jackson's blith. Four hundred Demociats who believe In the Chicago platfoim, assembled In the largo dining hall. With few excep tions they weie residents of Chicago. Their enthusiasm when the name of Mr. Btyon vvns mention was unbounded and a llnteilrig display of admli.itlon followed his rising to speak to the toast, "Andrew Jackson." To a man each banqueter aiose and waved any thing available, accompanying the demonstration with voclfoious choeis of "Bivan." The decorations of t,lfa hall consisted a liberal draping of Ameilcnn Hags with crayon pictures of Mr. Bryun, as well as Jeffeison, but none of Jackson. For neai ly two hours betoie the pro cession to the banquet hall was foimcd, Mr. Brvun held a reception In the par lors of the hotel. Ho had previously spent several houis with his publish es nnd lomalned seated in an easy chair while a line of admlilng Demo ciats filed past him and shook his hand. The speech making began after mid night puiposely. Caller H. Haiison, president of the Bivan league, acted as toastmastor. He Introduced Mr. Bryan who spoke as follows: MR. BRYAN'S SPEECH. Mr. Toastmaster nud Gentlemen- In view of thw fact that the club under whoso auspices vve meet has done me the honor to take my name, I feel that It Is onl Juit to the club and to mvself to lepoat heio what I have said elsewheie, namely, that m Judgment disapproves of the use of my name In connection with Democnit io or silver club. My objection Is a two fold one. In the flrjt place, I boilevo that a cause la so much greater than any Indi vidual that It should not be burdened by any mistakes which he may make. While a man lives ho is liable to err and his errora aie apt to injure any cause wiin which ho is closely identltled. During a campaign a cause must be Identified, for the time being, with candidates foi public olllce, but when the campaign is over and tho candidate no longer stands In a repre sentative capacity, I believe It la wise to dlsaesoclate him from the cause as far aa possible in order that public attention may ue centered upon principles ami pimcici lather than upon men Tho other objec tion is a personal one. I do not want to stand for four years In the attitude of a candidate for the presidency I do not want zealous friends to be continually alarmed list 1 should do something to alienate some of those who have given me their conlldence and support. In the past I have spoken out upon public ques tions which in my Judgment needed to bu dlscussid and I deslio to occupv the same position In tho futuie. When the next campaign opens it will be time enough to select .( candidate and wo can thin se lect a candidate suited to the conditions then existing and lit for the vvoik then to bo done. Pull appreciating the hlsh compliment paid me and deeply gratetul therefor, I still repeat m suggestion that my name be no longer connected with the names of clubs. As wo are assemDieu upon mis ue-uusiim to do honor to tho memory of Andiew Jackson we mav propeily discuss the le latlons which should exist between tho Democrats who indorsed the Chicago plat form and the so-callid Democrats who aided lu the election of a Republican president. The Democrats who eontrolled the Lniiago eouveiuiun lanitu irn-u nm. to the paity oiganlzatlon and thu patt name by whatever rule their claims may be meusuied. A demociacy la a govttn inent in which the people tule. In other woids, it Is a government such us Lin coln described: "A government of the people, by the people and foi the peopk, and a Demociut In the broadest sense Is one who believes in this foim of govern ment. . , If thoe who bolted the Chicago nomi nees have a light to call themselves bct tui Demociats than those who supported sucli nominees, then tho bolting Demo ciats who bolted the bolting ticket and voted foi the Republican nominees havo a light to call themselves bettei Demo ciats than the bolteis who suppoited tho bolting ticket. The right to paitv organ ization belongs to the majoiity and the light to the paity name must also belong to the majoiitv 1 here should bo no dlilleultv In under, standing tho lelutions which should exist between tho Demociats who remained In the partv and those persons who went out of the party. A paity Is (kilned as an as anctntinii of nersons who agree upon an lmpoitaut question or questions and who unite to give effect to their Ideas. The monej question became the paramount is sue of the day; the Democrats in con vention took a position upon tho ques tion and made a gallant tight In defense of tho platfoim adopted. If the money question wus now consldeied settled un other Issue could be taken up and a new alignment mude, but tho money question is not settled The contest for the restor ation of the monej of the constitution will go on with icnewed vigor. The people who advocated fiee sllvei befoie tho elec tion advocate It now. Tho election has decided the presidency for four ears and it bus detei mined the eomplesion of con gress for two j ears, but It has not over thiown the convictions of those who be llpen thnt tho cold stnndaid is a eonsplia- e against the welfare of the pioduclng masses nor has it changed the convictions of tho'-o who believe that ti lists must be abolished and coiporatlons made to obey the law. This campaign has shown the Impossi bility of keeping blmetalllsts and gold standard advocates In the samo political oiganUations, and it will be a moio dlf llcult task In the futuie than it has been this enr To use a common illustration a hen Is alwavs disturbed If bhe has In her brood a few ducks which insist upon pad dling In the water while tho chickens are content to sciatch upon the land. The Democratic party will, In like mannei, be HI nt ease If It has a fow web-footed members who Insist upon crossing the ocean for their ideas while tho gieat ma jority of tho party aio willing to llnd their political food upon American boll Not only is this separation between tho gold standard Democrats and free silver Dem ociats a necessity, but it ought to be de sliable to both sides. If tho gold stand aid Democrats are as bad, politically, as we think they are. wo ought not to care to allillate with them, and If thoso who suppoited the Chicago platfoim are half as WlU as me goiuougs suy mey uic, iney aro apt to contaminate ull who associate with them. In my opinion thero should bo no compromise of the issues Involved In tho Into campaign, and no terms short,of absolute surrender offered those who have desortod us. If any Demociat becomes convinced that tho gold standard Is nec essary, or becomes a defender of trusts, ho can leave tho paity and Join the bolt ing Democrats or tho Repucans. If any bolting Democrats sees tho error of his way, and Is willing to Indorse the Chi cago platform and labor with thoso who eeok to carry It into effect, we will wel pnmo noh n Democrat back Into the fold. MEN OF PROMINENCE. COLONBL President-elect McKlnley has already chosen his ambassador to Gieat Britain. Mr. Baiard's successor will bo John Hay, of Washington. This appointment w as de. elded on some time ago. John Hay, as Is well Tinown, was one of President Lin coln's secretaries He met Mr. Lincoln at Springfield, 111 , where he had studied law and been admitted to the bar Ho was with Mr. Lincoln almost constantly until the president's death. He gained a little military experience also, acting as the ptesldent's adjutant and ald-de-eamp, and serving for several months as major and assistant adjutant geneial undei Gen eral Hunter and General Glllmoie. Ho was bievetted lieutenant colonel and colo ns!. Mr. Hay has had a great deal of diplo matic experience. Ho has been secretuiy of legation at Paris, at Vienna and at Madrid, and was often chaige d'alf aires ud Intel im at each of thoso capitals. Ho was for some time an edltoilal writer on the New York Tribune and foi seven months edltoi-ln-chlef of that paper. In 1&75 he removed to Cleveland, O, where ho mairled a daughter of Amasa Stone, Wo aro engaged now In Just such n contest as that through which Andiew Jackson passed, and we do well on this occasion to take encouragement fiom his devotion to the cause of the people. Ho gained his greatest silver victory In his light against the national bank. Wo have the same lltrht on hand today. The na tional bank is seeking to force a retire ment of the greenbaok, and then monopo lize the issuo of papec money. The Re publicans, during the campaign Just closed, avoided this subject and refused to declare themselves either for or against the letliement of the greenbacks. But when they come to apply their ideas to legislation they must disclose their views. The fact that Senator Wolcott, of Col orado, has been sent abio.ul by tho pusl-dent-elect as an ambassador most cxtia ordlnary to bilng Euiope to bimetallism, is i evidence that the gold standaid is still concealing its blcsslmr fiom tho Ameiican people. If tho gold standard Is the standard of civilization, why should wo ilsk a icturn to barbarism b chasing after internatloml bimetallism? If Sen ator Wolcott succeeds In stlirlng up a sll vei agitation In England, he will be ac cused of disturbing business nnd de stroying conlldeiue in that gieat center of financial confidence Loudon. If his ei rand pioves a fiuitlesb one, It will onl give additional evidence that the United States must act alone If our opponents succeed In biinging about bimetallism, thev will relieve us of a gieat deal of laboi ami enable us to turn oui attention to other lefoims If, on tho other Hand, they fail to restore bimetallism, after con fessing that bimetallism Is desliable, wjj may expect the American people to Join with us in the opening of our mints to fiee and unlimited coinage, at 1C to 1, without waiting fot the aid or consent of any othei nation. It will be tho duty of the Jackson club to point out fiom time to time tho effect of Republican politics so that the v.ork of education will extend over four eais, Instead of beiiier ciowded Into u few campaign months. The members of this club should not be detened b the charge that they are agitators. I le Jolce that the Demociacy of Chicago Is suppoitlng the principles of Jefleison and Jackson, and 1 lejolct that the Democrats of this cltv aie determined to continue the light for Democratic prlmlples In tho face of all opposition. 1 bid them Godspeod in thcli woik, and, as 1 bellevo In the ulti mate tilumph of the light. I can encoui age them to believe that their labors will llnallj be clowned with success. Hon. John W. Tomllnon, of Ala bama, spoke with tjpical .southern elo quence and feivor to the toast, "Memo ries ot Heroic Conduct." Ex-Postmaster R. M. Rldgely, of Spilngfleld, 111., who was dismissed fiom his office by Ptesldent Cleveland for olllclous partisanship In advocating fiee silver coinage, spoke pointedly about civil seivlce lefotin. Geoige W. Ambiose, of Omaha, spoke of the "Past and Futuie of the Allied Silver Fotces." The concluding addiess was dellveied by Governor John P.
