Show It is reported that there is some uneasiness in the cabinet in regard to th e appearance of Senator Zach Chandler, Secretary Bristow and Postmaster General Jewell being especially troubled at the supposed administration degeneracy which this appointment implies; but it is hinted that Grant could not further strengthen his privy counsel from the high toned, respectable element, without weakening it in the other direction. Fish, Bristow and Jewell can neither talk horse naturally, drink whisky nor manago caucusses, while Chandler is an adept in these accomplishments. Grant's cabinet has always been more composite than harmonious, and Robeson hai of late had reason to complain that tbe administration ad-ministration machinery needed limbering up. So Zach Chandler fall3 into Delano's place to let the bo3's know that the president hasn't forgotten them. |
