Show I5uyes Cnuiuet Yet Unsettled. Washington, 5. There is to be an important conleronce to-night with 1 regard to tbe personnel of Hayes' 1 cabinet, which is still seriously un-' un-' settled. That Evans is ofi'ered the state department is certain, but some ' doubt his acceptance in view of the dttermiued opposition of Conkiing and other politicians. If he declines 1 no New Yorkor is likely to be in the cabinet, but the chances favor hia acceptance. Considerable opposition to McCrary of Iowa, for attorney general, hag developed in couse-queuce couse-queuce of his connection wilh ihe McGarahan claim which has been presented to the prosideut to his disadvantage dis-advantage There is a fierce strugglo impending also between those wh favor or oppose an extremely conciliatory con-ciliatory policy in the south, includ ing foroearance from thfl effort to sustain Packard's government in Louisiana and Hampton's in South Carolina. The chances favor that policy at present, and tho shaping of the cabinet must materially depend upon the settlement of that question. Those best informed on the subject are confident that the president adheres ad-heres to Evarts for secretary of stale, I Sherman for the treasury, Carl Seburz tor the intorior, McCrary for attorney general and David M. Key for postmaster. Kansas republican assemblymen recommend Robert T. Von Hern of Missouri for secretary of the interior. |
